Accept Me As I Am

Yet another love poem originally posted under 67Goat...

I never meant to take you for granted,Because you're the best I've found,I truly cherish every moment,Of the times you are around.But now and then we say and do,Things we don't intend,My actions were just misconstrued,I never meant to offend.We all regret from time to time,Things we do and say,I just wish I could turn back time,And take your pain away.You mean so much more to me,Than my actions can ever show,I would never...

Truly A Find

Another love poem originally posted under 67Goat...

I have met so many women,Some with model looks.Others were so very bright,Had knowledge found in books.So many times a woman,Has stood out from the crowd.Hanging on my arm,She really made me proud.But over the years, as time has passed,I've come to understand.Most of those relationships,Did not work as planned.But now that I am older,And somewhat more mature.I have a greater understanding,Of what it takes to endure.And wh...

Thoughts Unspoken

For Nancy, who says I don't speak enough...well, sometimes...

Oftentimes the many thoughts,That go on inside my head,So many thoughts unspoken,So much remains unsaid.And sometimes the most precious thoughts,Just never get put to word,The ones with the most meaning,Are the ones that are never heard.Because when someone means so much,I don't always have words to say,For feelings that run much deeper,Than mere words could ever convey.And just because words aren't often voiced,Doesn't m...

Why is it you run and hide? And never show the hurt inside, Where does all that suffering go? The wounds that you refuse to show.Locked like a prisoner in a cell, Alone to bear your personal Hell, A Hell from which you can't escape, But really, it's your chosen fate.Pain that eats you from the inside out, Filling up your whole life with doubt, You just can't do it on your own, You were never meant to suffer alone.Because...

We Started As Friends

A re-write of another poem...based on something my girlfriend said to me...a 67Goat poem...

We started out as a couple of friends,Who saw each other now and then, Two people hurt many times before, And afraid of getting hurt once more. Slowly we began to share long walks, And share our thoughts in quiet talks, And of each other we soon grew fond, Realizing we shared a special bond. Hearts that harbored so much pain, They never thought they'd love again, Secretly wishing that they would find, Someone to give them...

Please Tell Me That You Can Stay

Just another love poem...

I watch you lie so quiet and still,You really are a lovely sight, So many dreams you helped fulfill, As I recall our previous night. As the morning sun begins to rise, I watch you lie silent on the bed, A soft glow dances upon your eyes, The pillow softly cradles your head. The morning sun bathes you in light, As you slowly start to awake, My thoughts soon turn to delight, As I think of the love we can make. Though we lov...

More Beautiful Every Day

Yet another love poem originally posted under 67Goat...inspired by a forum thread on another site...

They say that time is the great thief,Robber of beauty and of looks, I have heard it spoken times before, Have read of it in books, But as the years go by with you, I realize more and more, You just get that much better, So much better than before. For what may have caught my eye, Was surely your pretty face, But over the years I have come to know, Your true beauty and inner grace, For your true beauty is not seen, Not wh...

The Best You Ever Had

Yet another poem of lost love...originally posted under 67Goat...

All the trust we’ve built together,Bonds developed from the start,Have somehow been ripped in two,Like you ripped apart my heart.Funny how you think you know someone,Because you lie beside them in bed,But it’s only their words you’ll ever hear,Not what goes on inside their head.Now you tell me you want to leave,With barely a spoken goodbye,Taking your things and walking out,And I’m left to wonder why.Haven’t I been good t...

Nancy

Just a poem about a girl I met in April...that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

How did you know I needed you?That I really needed someone new,How did you know I was alone?When suddenly you came along.Did you know you’d brighten my day?That I really needed a friend today,Did you really know it’s been a while?That I have seen so bright a smile,It’s been so long since I could share,Time with someone for which I care,I think we can both shed our past,And make this thing really lastIt’s been way too long...

Seduction

Just another poem...nothing new, I know...

Seduction is a mighty word,As powerful as you’ve ever heard,Starting out with a simple glance,Will not end till they’re in your pants,Telling you everything you want to hear,Slowly calming your every fear,They’ll slowly get into your head,Until they get you into bed.Seduction is a mighty tool,Can make you act just like a fool,More powerful than any drink,Once it starts no time to think,Pretty soon time will tell,If you fa...

Another Day

Another poem written a long time ago...not a happy poem...sorry...

Crazy people scream in vain,Scream for blood, curse the rain.Useless beings line the halls,Ugly pictures on the walls.Another job that I'll hate,Not gonna argue with my fate.Another girl calls me honey,As she asks if I have any money.Politicians run the state,Preachin' love, rule with hate.Another kid goes off to die,Everyone too busy to ask why.Another day don't ask why,Another reason to get high.Get a job and settle dow...

My God, The Devil Heroin

This was set to music by my friend Joe Malgeri, and is referred to in my story Your Eyes...

My God, The Devil Heroin I walk down a broken street in search of my Promised Land, I'm on a mission from God and my God's name is Heroin.In the distance I can hear the gunfire,I'm in a holy war, my sergeant’s named desire.I walk past other junkies nodding out against a wall,We're fighting the same cause, fighting against withdrawal.I reach my destination, I talk with the man,I hand him twenty dollars, he puts my God in m...

Another Friend Left Town Today

Another old song attempt, posted as a poem...a bit dark, but not too bad...

Another friend left town today,Left this world quietly with nothin' to say.Don't matter whether it was a shot in the arm or a shot in the head,The only thing matters is another friend's dead.Hook:Another friend left town today,Another friend with nothin' to say.So many words that will never get said,Just another friend that ended up dead.Time goes on and I examine my soul,I take a close look inside and count the holes.The...

Thinking Of You (Response to Long Distance Love)

My first attempt at responding to one of my own poems...written at a bad time in my life...

You asked me if I think of you,You know, my Love I always do,And even though I can't be there,I want you to know I'll always care.So much in my life has recently changed,Everything seemingly rearranged,Until I get it all on track,I don't know when I will be back.And though I sleep alone at night,Without you, my Love to hold me tight,And though I sleep with the stars overhead,I'd rather be home sharing your bed.But I hope...

Long Distance Love

And yet another love poem originally posted under 67Goat...

Long distance love, how are you?Are you thinking of me too?I thought about you again today,Just hoping that you are okay,Can’t you please pick up the phone?As I sit here all alone.Long distance love, do you recall?The times it seemed we had it all,The times we thought would never end,But now I need more than a friend,Everything could be so right,If you would just come home tonight.Long distance love, can’t you see?How muc...
