I needed you;  Where were you?You promised me, you know -I needed you;Where were you?And then you didn’t show - I needed you;Where were you?It happened once again -I needed you;Where were you?You lost track of time with friends - I needed you;Where were you?I’ve had it up to here -I needed you;  Where were you?Have I made that clear? I needed you;Where were you?I am done with this -I needed you;Where were you?Don’t give m...

"Be happy," he said. Like it's that simple. Like I haven't been trying. Like saying "be happy" erases the fact that I'm being put on the back-burner again, being used as a back-up plan, a last-resort when there's nothing better to do. Saying "be happy" is supposed to change the fact that he pissed me off again. Who says that? Who says, "be happy???" "Be happy." I want to be happy. So desperately that I push too hard, ask...

Since I've known you all I've doneIs build you up and give you love.I loved you for so long and yetAll you do is take and get.You tear me down and make me cryAll I can think of is "Why?"Why did I waste all these years?Why did I give you all my tears?Why did I care what you thought?Pain is all it ever wrought.I trusted you and held you closeBut never again, "That's all, folks".You belittle me and break my heartSo now it's...

I would call your name over and over; Can you hear me? I would talk slower. I often wondered does he hear? Reading and searching with great fear. I asked the doctors if something was wrong; They said he is delayed, and he will come along. There are so many symptoms as I read; It seems Autism is very widespread. The pain and the anguish starts to happen; Waiting and waiting to start some action. The waiting lists to see sp...

In the face of the most recent massacre in the US, the unbelievable senseless loss of such young lives, as well as the lives of the teachers trying to protect them. I have to wonder what this world is coming to, and what kind of people will inherit it. When did it become easier to grab a weapon, and open fire on a multitude of innocent victims, than it is to accept our own short comings and learn to deal with it? Or to se...

“Want to hear a joke?” “Sure, I love a good joke. Is it funny?” [pause] “Why do you think it's called a joke?” “Oh, yeah, okay, go ahead.” “Alright, a priest, a rabbi, and a reverend walk into a bar an...” “Wait a minute, why are these three together, they're like natural enemies, always stealing souls from one another to save. That doesn't make much sense.” [pause] “It doesn't have to make sense, it's a joke.” “Sure it d...

Now I'm a pacifist you seePeace and love and mungbeans for meBut on the night you came to stayThings shifted...I left the room with dinner in handA relaxing evening I had plannedBut returning to the kitchenI grew livid.As bold as brass you munched awayOn potatos left sitting on a plateAnd as you casually looked up at meI wondered...Could I grab your tail and toss you outsideOr yell at you and give you a frightBut as I pon...

An uneducated man I am, of limited vocabulary.When using words, always needing a dictionary. Sometimes after searching out a words meaning.I find that I have misused, making it demeaning. Leading to much confusion for those who read,proving that higher education, in actuality I need. Using large words trying to sound sophisticated, causing misunderstanding, reactions stimulated. When another reads, meaning often misconstr...

Hi, so what happened didn’t I tell you to avoid this? How could you even begin to do this to your family, all our resolutions, out of the window. Standing on the edge of the shower tray I find myself staring into the falling water; and dissolving away rapidly was the sugar reindeer I had made for Christmas.

Mist swirls.Every sense strainsto catch a glimpse. A movement.Spinning towards,Find you smilingAll is well.Then probe too deep.Into the mist vanish.Waiting anxiously.No point in searching;The mist conceals.No way to reach you.Then out of this mist,Returning once more.My heart swells,Concerns war.Should I ask or avoid?Tendrils of mistObscure your eyes.Can't read you.One touchOf a sensitive spotAnd you are gone again.Catchi...

Sitting here staring at this blank page,Wondering what to write. The ideas flow through me like Water flows through a riverbed after a rainstorm. Uninhibited, Free to flow and shape itself,Morph into any form it desires.Writing is my outlet, Words my tools. Why is it so hard to put it here where it matters?Someone once told me;“Write a poem, it is the differenceBetween watching the sun set and reading about a sunset.”Then...
