This has all happened before.
Posted: February 19, 2013 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: Love, poem, the way Leave a commentI see your face again
For the first time.
Your smile, this laugh
Are familiar.
Love shows me I am on the correct path
With glimpses of moments
Where I step forward.
Looking within;
Dejå view.
The Selfish Shellfish
Posted: January 11, 2013 Filed under: general | Tags: Love, patience, poem, selfishness Leave a commentThe Selfish Shellfish,
lived in his shell.
Outside, the others in Hell,
he would just yell.
All he needs is himself.
He grew up alone,
and how Love was shown
did not translate to women.
He loved his wife,
with all his life,
but something inside hid him.
When it was all over,
The Selfish Shellfish
moved out of his shell.
Then it was him in Hell.
Music is Sport, Sport is Music
Posted: November 9, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: poem, random thought Leave a commentSome say cut music but keep sport.
The day is long,
But the life is short.
Why not promote happiness?
Better yet,
Encourage it.
The same skills are learned,
Teamwork and dedication;
When to take your turn.
There is just less competition.
But must we teach children
That only the strong survive?
I know the happy thrive.
So realize this;
Whether Home Runs,
Bach or Liszt,
Life does not end when the final bell hits.
Blissful Tide
Posted: November 5, 2012 Filed under: to my wife | Tags: death, Love, poem Leave a commentWhen I die, cremate me.
Let no one see what isn’t free.
Look inside. I’ll reside
In the blissful tide,
Patiently waiting for you
To dive in too.
Anxiety
Posted: August 8, 2012 Filed under: general | Tags: anxiety, poem Leave a commentIt’s just you and me, Anxiety;
My body tightens,
my brain swims.
I wish I could crawl
out of my skin.
You drink, you smoke,
can’t cope, you choke.
When will you learn
from past mistakes?
Your fists are clenched,
your stomach aches.
You want to die,
but it won’t come.
Hell, it must be.
Eternity?
drowning
Posted: February 8, 2012 Filed under: general | Tags: poem Leave a commentWhen they say it’s down I’m up.
When they say it’s up I’m down.
Are they behind, or am I?
When they say swim I drown.
never far
Posted: January 23, 2012 Filed under: to my wife | Tags: Love, poem Leave a commentwhether i am here,
or even worse i am there;
we are never far apart
because i am always in your heart.
continue your journey
Posted: January 23, 2012 Filed under: daily musings | Tags: perseverance, poem, pride Leave a commentwhen you lose faith
when you lose patience
when you lose all hope
there is your salvation
when you see the light
when you continue to fight
when you feel nothing can stop you
don’t forget the hard times
pride fell greater men and women
open casket
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Haiku | Tags: daily haiku, death, poem Leave a commentwhen the soul leaves you,
body is nothing more than
a human cocoon.
an open casket to me
is a disgrace to your memory.
you lived & lived & lived;
that’s what I want to remember.
