For Dana (1966-2006)

Written for a special girl, who will always be remembered...

I see a girl with long blond hair,So much like yours I stop and stare,With a quizzical look she walks away,I just stand there with nothing to say,So many girls remind me of you,How they move, the things they do.I watch the sun set in the sky,Reminding me of times gone by,How we sat on the beach hand in hand,Us two lovers sitting on the sand,So many things remind me of you,Of days gone by, when we were two.I miss you more...

The Birth Of Our Son

I guess you could call this a family poem...originally posted under 67Goat...

Of all the things you've given to me,As proof that the best things really are free,If I had to narrow it down to one,It would be the birth of our only son.Watching him smile I become elated,At the sight of the life we have created,Our unimaginable pride and joy,Disguised as a playful little boy.When I gaze into his eyes of blue,I cannot help but think of you,For that and his curly locks of hair,Are just two features you t...

If

Just two letters can say so much, or not say anything at all...something like that...

If If I called you up in the middle of the night,To tell you something is just not right,How would you act, what would you do?Would you take the time to talk me through?Or would you tell me it's way too late,That my problems just have to wait,How would you act, what would you do?If I were to really need you.If I were to show up at your door one day,What would you do, what would you say?Would you take me in and keep me war...

Though Seasons Pass

Another love, or lack of love, poem originally posted under 67Goat...

Though seasons pass and years go by,They will not stop the tears I cry,And though may fall the gentle rain,It will not wash away my pain,And though there may be a tomorrow,It will not take away my sorrow,For when you and I became apart,You took a piece of my broken heart,I only ask that you give it back,So I can get my life on track,And I can somehow heal this broken heart,And somehow make a brand new start,I don’t think...

My Special Love (Happy Valentine's Day)

This was written for Valentine's Day...no surprise there, I know...

Sitting with you right next to me,Nowhere in the world I’d rather be,Your every move brings a smile to my face,With your awesome beauty and natural grace,I enjoy being with you day and night,Being with you just feels so right.Of all the loves I have known,None have the kindness you have shown,None have the charms that you possess,None can match your soft caress,None can match the joy you bring,None can cause my heart to s...

How Do You Know?

Another love poem originally posted under 67Goat...

How do you know when you’ve found the one?How do you know that your search is done?Is it something she says, is it in her talk?Or the way she moves, is it in her walk?Or is it in her touch, her soft caress?Or what she wears, is it in her dress?Or is it what she thinks, is it in her mind?Or how she treats you, by being so kind?It’s all of the above, and yet so much more,When you’ve found the love you’ve been searching for,...

Childhood Lost

As someone commented...the price is incalculable...

What is the price of a childhood lost?And who is the one to pay the cost?For the child who's often left alone,And forced to grow up on their own,Left at home without a reason why,While mommy goes out to get high,For the child who lives in constant fear,Who wants for love, but none is near,And left to cry throughout the night,With no one near to hold her tight,No sheltering arms to wrap around,Or childhood comforts to be f...

Life Is But A Journey

About a guy who loves his wife so much, his only concern is her happiness after he's gone...

You know that I must leave you,The end is surely near,We both knew this day would come,Please don't shed a tear.Life is but a journey,Beginning with our birth,I'd like to think it continues on,After we leave this earth.But I do have one big fear,And it's not of the unknown,But rather that my leaving here,May find you left alone.So, until we meet again someday,I hope that you may find,Someone who will share your life,Someo...

I'll Never Understand

I like the sentiments, but not sure I'm real crazy about the way it came out...

The one thing I will never understand,Is man's inhumanity to his fellow man,How people who call each other sister and brother,Could be so hurtful to one and other,How people can treat each other so mean,Without understanding where they've been,Who would lead each other into war,Choosing to be the problem, not the cure,Who have the power to guide another man's fate,With hidden agendas mixed with hate,Who think nothing of c...

To My Wife

A love poem...third post from the point of view of my older friend Gary (aka 67Goat)

Looking back on the time we shared,Nothing else in my life has compared,Ever since that day we walked down the aisle,We have walked together for many a mile,Joined together hand in hand,Part of some much larger plan,You have brought to my world such sheer delight,Making my time on earth so sunny and bright,I am so thankful for the time we spend,Time together I hope will never end,From the first time I saw your face,I knew...

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...
