I Often Wonder

Manged to find another love poem...didn't have to look real hard...

I often wonder if what I feel,Is just an illusion or something real,For when these feelings begin to start,I wonder if they’ll break my heart,Or will they stoke the burning fires,That masquerade as my desires,And turn my inner burning lust,Into something built on trust,Because these fires always burn,And so it seems I’ll never learn,For when these feelings do begin,I always seem to dive right in,Again I’ll get my just des...

Of This You Can Be Sure

I think this is what you would call a love poem...

The summer sun rises over the hills,With a beauty and certain grace,But it cannot compete with the beauty of you,Or the beauty of your face.The falling snow in wintertime,Makes everything look so new,But it cannot compare with the beauty,The beauty that is you.The birds in springtime sing their song,So sweetly and so pure,But they cannot compare with your sweet words,Of this you can be sure.The colorful leaves on autumn t...

Memories

Just another poem about lost love...nothing new here...

As I lie awake in my lonely bed,Thoughts of you still fill my head,Wondering where you could have went,The pillowcase still has your delicate scent,Like the memories that linger on,Long after you have up and gone.As I wander through my lonely room,I still smell the scent of your perfume,The memories over take my mind,Of a girl so loving and kind,I think about the good times that we had,And wonder how it ever went so bad.I...

Are They Happier Without Me?

This was definitely my most popular poem when it came out...by far...

Thinking about the loves of the past,All the loves that didn’t last.All my loves of yesterday,I wonder where they are today,The close moments that we shared,The loving words that said we cared.I think about the ones that slipped on by,I sit by myself and I wonder why,One day they‘re here and next they‘re gone,I understand that life goes on,But still I wonder if it was meant to be,Are they happier without me?And if we ever...

I Wish I Knew

This was actually a song writing attempt from the 90's...hence the odd form...

Where did you come from, who are you?Where do you live, what do you do?Did we share a bottle, did we share a drink?Did we discuss what each of us think?But you're lying next to me all the same,I just wish I could remember your name.How did you get here, did you drive your car?Or did we meet in that corner bar?Did I walk you home, did I hold the door?Did you find me interesting or another bore?But you're lying next to me a...

Hearts Beat As One

Inspired by the Bo Diddley song Dearest Darling...this was my first romantic poem...

When people ask me how we met,I never tell them on the net,Cause people just don't understand,What happens in this cyber land,But it's love for me and you,A love that is oh so true,Although I long to hold you tight,Hold you near with all my might,I pray for you upon a star,Even though you are so far,And though I long for your touch,I dream about you very much,In another time and place,I could probably see your face,And we...

Life Is What It Seems

Sometimes life is just what it seems...

Outside in the piss stained hall,A prostitute leans on a dirty wall.Inside I rest my head,On a dirty mattress I call a bed.Dirty clothes out to the door,Empty bottles on the floor.In the streets a car honks it's horn,Down the hall a baby is born.In the bar people drown their sorrow,Got no hope for tomorrow.Rain coming down from the sky,Falling hard , like the tears I cry.I had dreams once, like the rest,Worked real hard,...

What A Difference A Year Can Make

Sometimes a year can make all the difference...for better or worse...

Nothing in life is guaranteed,Of this lesson I should take heed, For what life gives it can surely take, What a difference a year can make. A year ago I was standing tall, It seemed as though I had it all, Somehow though my luck had turned, I consider it a lesson learned. Failure is hard, but so is success, Too many drown in their own excess, But no matter what, my spirit won't break, What a difference a year can make. 10...

We Shall Never Forget (9-11 Tribute)

Recalling the better aspects of humanity on that day...the heroes...

Let the world always remember,That fateful day in September,And the ones who answered duty's call,Should be remembered by us all.Who left the comfort of their home,To face perils as yet unknown,An embodiment of goodness on a day,When men's hearts had gone astray.Sons and daughters like me and you,Who never questioned what they had to do,Who by example, were a source of hope,And strength to others who could not cope.Heroes...

Trash Talk

Let's just say this was written with my neighbors in mind...done with a hint of humor...

They hang out all day,Ain't got no plans, With nothing to do, And time on their hands. In everyone's business, All over town, Just talking trash, To bring them down. Talk more trash, Later on the phone, When they should be out, Takin' care of their own. They only go out, For a free meal, Too damn lazy, To go out and steal. Ain't got no job, Ain't got no pay, They just keep talkin', With nothin' to say. People so petty, It...

Under Darkness Of Night

Something a bit darker...but, not too dark...

Sounds of yelling from a row house blare,No one hears, does anyone care? The yelling soon turns into a fight, But no one hears under darkness of night. A teenage girl works the street, Hoping to pay for something to eat, She knows in her heart it just ain’t right, But no one notices under darkness of night. A young man sits on a bench all alone, His clothes are all he can call his own, He can’t find work and money is tigh...

Cannot Reach Me

Yet another poem for your reading pleasure...

All the strife and pending doom,A world outside filled with gloom, Cannot reach me in my room. People I meet are so unkind, They try to sever the ties that bind, But none can reach me in my mind. So much pain, trouble and woe, No escape, nowhere to go, They cannot reach into my soul. Pain that sears like a poison dart, Lovers that try to tear us apart, None can reach into my heart. From a world of jealousy and pride, I sh...

Love Can

Yet another love poem...later used in a story...

Love can be like water to a fish,Love can grant your every wish. Love can be like a bird in flight, Love can turn darkness into light. Love can drive away your fear, Love can always keep me near. Love can make you want to live, Love can make you want to give. I look at you and our fingers touch, I know it is you I love so much. It is my love for you that I feel, My love for you is so very real. My love has no beginning, i...

Precious

Just another love poem...there are more where this came from...

Precious are the moments that we share,Gentle is the touch that shows you care, Precious are the days we spend hand in hand, You always there to listen and understand, Precious are the nights with you by my side, Making all my fears go run and hide, Precious are the minutes, hours and days, For you are the one I will love always, Precious are the glances you cast my way, Reminding me that, it is here I will stay. The time...
