Darkness on the Edge of my Soul
By Bill Turner

There is a darkness on the edge of my soul
From being burnt one too many times
The edges have become frayed over the years
Scorched and tattered my soul is intact
I will never compromise it that is a fact

That darkness seeks to envelope me
Creeping crawling wrapping itself around my heart
Looking for a way in, a crack in the wall
As long as I remain pure of heart
This darkness will not get a start

Doing the right thing because it is right to do
Will keep the darkness on the edge of my soul
Standing for all that I believe never giving an inch
Living, loving and laughing each day a new start
The new year so simple if we all do our part

CC&P Rules.....you know who drools!

Another Year, Another Chance
by Peter DeJesse

Throughout this year, as a firefighter
I have witnessed heartache and pain
I ask, “What could I do differently
should this ever happen again?”

In my job, I am told
not to dwell on past fires
It’ll make you crazy thinking
Of all that transpired

Yet much more can be done
to help those in need
Since I am usually the first
to help them off their knees

What else can I do
to help ease their minds
To help them through
this extremely bad time

The resolution I make this year
is to be more vigilant and aware
of the people I serve
and show them I care

***
Oh why, oh why EOP
Open your eyes, can't you see
You're barking up the wrong tree
In trying to beat CC&P

Angel Purification

Upon the coming
of New Year
my heart reborn
disarming past fear

Baptizing my soul
cleansing away sins
creating new passages
a new life begins

Crystal blue waters
magnify my eyes
showing the purest
angel in disguise

CC&P: We Rock

Hope For Tomorrow

Another year come and gone
Filled with happiness, heartache & tears
Losing those we loved
Brought us many tears.

I know in my heart
We're not promised tomorrow
So love I want to spread to the world
And for God to mend my sorrow.

Just a smile to make someone's day
A helping hand for those in need
A shoulder for them to lean
Touch hearts that bleed.

I wish I could fill the world with Peace
Change so many things
I wish all hearts could love
And make the bells of Peace... Ring.

Let's make a difference in our world
To live with love in our hearts
The Beauty comes from within
God will bless you with your part.

Happy New Year....
(CC&P)

I don't make resolutions as you never will stay true.
They lead to dissolution good intentions you can't imbue
I don't like resolutions; it's bunch of mindless gumpf.
I need no absolution, besides... (we shrug) they only last a month.

As you can see I am not in a group but I was momentarily inspired. When I win Bob can have my prize and put it in his bathroom next to the loo roll holder.

oh yeah, HO HO HO MERRY NEW YEAR!

The past year was so pitiful
All that suffering and pain
This year I wish for peace
And I hope you wish the same

My pledge will be to love
My family even more
Show the love inside my heart
Show it's them that I adore

My wife will be treated
With kisses everyday
I'll shower her with poems
And all the things I wish to say

So this year to sum it up
My selfishness shall end
My love is on the increase
Many people I'll befriend

Motivated Spirit

Through sorrow and tears
learning to move on and learn
leaving one year clear behind
holding onto nothing, healing slow

Focusing on family and friends
people who are dearest to me
Praying to be there through the thick
to help guide them, a helping hand

Hoping to become a bolder being
sticking up for those in need
Most of all for my own beliefs
A stronger individual in society

My motivations for the New Year
of what I hope I can improve
though I'll struggle, sometimes fail
I'll just keep on moving forward

I wrote a poem that has a somewhat related theme, but is not explicitly related to New Year, would that be fine? It is also too long, so I reckon I should not participate with that one. Ich weiss nicht.

well after kicking your butt so often it's about time they get a little aid to them, before we kick them again that is.......

Keep up the great writing you guys, you never cease to amaze me.

Stumbling Upon Success

Years of stumbling
over waves of disappointment
as motivation crashes at my feet

Trapped in oblivion
awaiting my coveted demise
a chance to finally be free

Only to find
another year approaching
at such a remarkable pace

I've nothing left to do
but face the new year
with determination and grace

Promising to leave
the past where it is
I'll make a brand new start

Changing my attitude
creating motivation
and remodeling my heart

Optimism will be
my new found friend
chasing the demons away

Happiness shall bring
forth laughter and cheer
causing heartache to stray

Though some days
will be a struggle
diligence is the key

For I know the strength
to achieve success
lies within me
