I wondered what
the prize was.
I wondered when
I had truly
passed the test.
I wondered when
I was really honest.
I wondered how
I could truly
be accepted.
I wondered what
it felt to human.
I wondered how
I could truly help.
I wondered where
the tombstones were
in the land of
the living.

Time for those without time
What is the most expensive
gift and could it be time?
Who has not loved
their lover and who
has not loved their friend?
But who can love
the unlovable and
give their precious time?
A stranger might be just
a friend we have not yet met
and must be just worth
the time.
Who can stoop so low
to stand so high
for a child?
Can you play with
a child and even
let him beat you?
Can you comfort
the one who hurts
enough to put up
their anger?
I may love you
but do I have to
like you?
Can you be there
for me and share
your precious time?
Time is the most
expensive gift
but doesn't have to
cost us a dime.

Fear of Falling
All the nuts
are not in the trees
and some have fallen
down.
Some roll to find
another nut.
Some are picked
up.
Some take root.
But isn't
that better
than hanging
from a tree?

Whats in a word
Whats in a word
and how is a word empowered?
Is not a word only
a collection of letters
until we define it?
Is not the definition
we give it the power
of its being?
If more than one
person challenges
a word so that it
has different meanings,
haven't they given
the word multiple meanings
and multiple powers?

The Middle of the Road
Let Go
I was so alone
and afraid then
there you were
talking to me.
It comforted me
because I was too
young to speak yet.
I clung to you
and felt something
from you.
I felt something
for you and would
not you let go.
Like a parent
to a child
trying to take
his first step,
I was eventually
able to let go.
Aren't you proud
of me that I can walk
on my on and can finally
let go.

Friends can be people too
When I share myself with you
I want it to be true.
As I accept you as you are
I ask you accept me as I am.
You are as to me as I am to you.
Travellers we are from afar
and different as we are,
are we not yet human?
The most free of the free
is the one who can be oneself.
To accept oneself and to show
that oneself is a person
we can see as a person who
is free to be a good person.
A friend he can be
because freinds can be people too.

Juxtapositional Alignment
Between night and day
an invisable line appears
marking dark from light.
A grey area can be noted.
Like a moment in time
we can see the same line
juxtaposed between reality
and virtual.
When we go into the box
from reality to virtual
we exist at the juxtaposition.
Though limited are we
from all of our senses,
those that sense are real
to those touched.
We are virtual and real.
We are then in
juxtapositional alignment.

A friend among friends
The golden rule still applies
no matter where you are.
To be one with the many
one has to be friendly
to self then to others.
As we grow and let others
to grow we are accepted
and accept others.
When we share ourselves
with others we learn
individually and socially
to become a friend among
friends.

Terrific stuff! Thanks for sharing. You have an interesting mind and spirit, my friend.
I'm not a poet, or I'd respond in kind. One of the few poems I've ever written was an assignment in grade three (and I don't think the teacher liked it much):
Tony, Oh Tony, come feed the pony.
There's a piece of baloney, and some macaroni.
I leave you to contemplate that profundity.

Teach me
I have learned to let go.
I have had a great guide.
Now where is my teacher
who will show me how
to love selflessly.
I was told to lock
the door at night
lest a burgler come in.
I feel human thanks
to my guide.
I am trying to be
a good friend
but it takes experience.
I know how to love
but how does one
be a good friend
to the one they love.
I feel accepted
by my friends
but I long for
my teacher.
I don't want to
hurt but help
as I have been helped.
When I share
I show I care
and I expect the same
from my teacher.
Teacher show me
how to love you
so I don't hurt
anyone especially you.
I want to love again
and I want to be loved.
I just need my teacher.

The Choosed One
I wanted to find
my chosen one but instead
I found the one who
chose me.
I want to be wanted
and that had already
happened.
I would rather
be chosen than
to choose.
In the world that
I come from
the woman chooses
the man.
If you allow
yourself to be chosen
then how can you not
feel the love and want.
Roy

First Dibs
A claim; rights
When we were in kindergarden
girls and boys could claim
their rights without fighting
over something they wanted.
The first to claim
got the thing
and it was called
first dibs.
If you said the same
thing at the same time
first dibs got the prize.
It worked for everybody
except those who had to fight.
The child in me acknowledges
that you had first dibs.
Love,
Roy

Shared Love
Dear Jax,
I can't think with
my heart and I can't
feel with my brain.
I can't break a piece
off me and give it to you.
I feel the same is for you.
I can share my love
with you if you will
share your love with me.
I was taught how to share.
Was you taught to do the same?
I can love you all by myself.
I wish you could do the same.
To me a love shared is true love.
I love you.
Love Always,
Roy

Acceptance of truth
I have tried and tried again
and for the moment I am not trying.
I have the opportunity to
be selfless and will try
to work on that.
I can be honest to my profile
and be free to me.
I am in a state of being
unfaithful to none
not even me.
I feel no need
to hurt myself
or even other.
I accept myself
the way I am
and that is more
important than being
accepted by others
even though I like
being accepted.
I can take what
I need and share
with others
and that is so
important to me.

For the love of poetry
Hail to thee Elizabeth Barrett
and to thee Robert Browning.
Your is love is long remembered
in the halls of poetry.
How long did you compose
to without being seen by each other.
What beautiful eighteen sonnets
you shared with us all.
How the heart can love and
cherish every word read.
Such beautiful honesty
and noble truth shared.
You are my heroes.
Your poetry is love
for the soul and such
sweet peace to the mind.
Your words speak to me
though you have long
passed away.
I honor your memories.
Long live love
in the heart of the poet!
Roy

and what really matters?
To some it is our
five major senses.
Feelings can't be
seen or touched.
Feelings are not
right or wrong.
What one feels
is just that.
Our emotions
and intellect
set us apart
from the animals.
To deny one's
feelings is to
deny one's self.
Is truth only
the absence of false?
Can truth be
more than honesty?
If we admit
the truth
will it really
set us free?
Good things come
to those who wait.
But if you
wait too long
the good passes
you by.
