Impossible feats

The impossible feats the we overcome,
Beat down the doors with the sound of their drums.
Overwhelmed by life but lost in the stars,
We reach,
We sigh,
And with that they're gone.

A Mantra to Inspire Achievement

The inspiration for living,
Comes from so many things.
Moments so beautiful they almost hurt,
Kisses so passionate that they overwhelm,
Something so simple, yet faultless in its impact.

As you lay on your bed,
Barely sleeping from the stresses of life,
It helps to reach inside yourself and find your goals,
Challenge yourself a little bit each day,
Look deep inside, realise you can be all you want to be.

Searching the soul for dreams is the start,
But the real magic comes in the achievement,
As you look to the stars and take a step forward,
Followed by a hundred more to take you there,
Be proud of these moments, as you are living your dreams.

No one wants to wake up at 80,
With a life crammed with deep regrets,
Seize each moment, each opportunity,
Let the momentum drive you to the limits,
And surprise yourself with the strength of who you really are.

Wisp in the Wind Contest Entry - You Are My Everything

So I'm giving the poetry contests at allpoetry.com a go, which seem quite good fun =)  Below is my entry to the contest hosted by Donna Grimes aka BluRosePoet8488 (http://allpoetry.com/contest/2506063).  The task being to write a poem inspired by her words:

'I could write a thousand words upon a thousand more and never really touch the depth of the love I feel inside for you. I can only capture a small wisp in the wind to whisper to your heart... I love you!' 
~Donna Sue Grimes~

Wind whips across my tearful face,

As I stand in the freezing, pouring rain.
Torrents glancing off my sodden clothes
And running down my dripping hair.
Overwhelming,
The intense shaking rips at my soul,
But it could not compare to losing you.

The burning sun sears my face,
As the dry, desert heat creeps inside.
Tearing the moisture from my dry eyes,
Filling my aching lungs with sand.
I can't breathe,
As the pounding in my head closes in,
But it could not compare to losing you.

Icy cold chills my every being,
Muscles tearing as they fight the freeze.
Frozen crystals forming on my cheeks,
Lips too blue to be able to speak.
Agonising,
The painful frost within my limbs,
But it could not compare to losing you.

For all the trials the world could give,
Impossible feats over venomous scars,
This love that words cannot describe,
Would conquer every time.
Invincible,
You make my soul so bright,
How I wish you could see the glow.
