Never easy
Tell me
what would you do
if you knew
that I was
would you scream
would you shout
would you hurt
me
inside
I am broken
outside
all that you will see
is a sad tired lonely smile
as I pack my bags
to go
to another place
and where ever I land
it will be then
I will have to decide
do I stay
to try
with all the pain
that it brings
to put back together
my broken fractured
wings
or just leave
my body
and my feelings
behind
what would you do
if you knew
that I was
would you scream
would you shout
would you hurt
me
inside
I am broken
outside
all that you will see
is a sad tired lonely smile
as I pack my bags
to go
to another place
and where ever I land
it will be then
I will have to decide
do I stay
to try
with all the pain
that it brings
to put back together
my broken fractured
wings
or just leave
my body
and my feelings
behind

Poems Of A Fool
He didn't know how to write
Not even a clue
Then she broke his heart
Broke it right into
He had to get the pain out of his mind
What could he do
So everyone laughed
At the poems of a fool
They paid him no mind
They knew he would fail
Look at all the time
He has spent on an empty trail
His words have nowhere to go
And he doesn't know
What everyone always knew
So goes the poems of a fool
Not even a clue
Then she broke his heart
Broke it right into
He had to get the pain out of his mind
What could he do
So everyone laughed
At the poems of a fool
They paid him no mind
They knew he would fail
Look at all the time
He has spent on an empty trail
His words have nowhere to go
And he doesn't know
What everyone always knew
So goes the poems of a fool

Post CommentWhat If I Had Nothing To Say
Whereas wherefore what if, how do I start this letter
But I don't write anymore so what's the use of thinking
Life goes on outside my door and the years are blinking
Maybe I should simple enjoy the day
And throw this letter away
Like I've done a hundred times before
The sky is blue I feel the warmth of the sun
And for the night the moon was made so you could hold someone
In a special way
But I don't write anymore
Whereas wherefore what if
I had nothing to say
But I don't write anymore so what's the use of thinking
Life goes on outside my door and the years are blinking
Maybe I should simple enjoy the day
And throw this letter away
Like I've done a hundred times before
The sky is blue I feel the warmth of the sun
And for the night the moon was made so you could hold someone
In a special way
But I don't write anymore
Whereas wherefore what if
I had nothing to say

Post CommentThe Long Goodbye
Lately in the neighborhood there have been a lot of hints
Some make me sad so I hope this will be a last reply
Ponder melancholy like leaning my heart against a picket fence
No explanation why this is turning into the long goodbye
Just the facts mam like a long ago tv show
Why do I have to keep watching all the reruns
So everyone blame me and let it be done
Maybe I should just live in a cave till I grow old
A judge and jury and a few monkeys hanging on a limb
Everywhere I go the same thing again
Don't be embarrassed about something in the heart of an older guy
Just the facts mam and let today be the end of the long goodbye
Some make me sad so I hope this will be a last reply
Ponder melancholy like leaning my heart against a picket fence
No explanation why this is turning into the long goodbye
Just the facts mam like a long ago tv show
Why do I have to keep watching all the reruns
So everyone blame me and let it be done
Maybe I should just live in a cave till I grow old
A judge and jury and a few monkeys hanging on a limb
Everywhere I go the same thing again
Don't be embarrassed about something in the heart of an older guy
Just the facts mam and let today be the end of the long goodbye

Requiem for a Lost Soul
I hold
set my spirit free
hear the waves of the ocean
faithfully aboard the cold
close my eyes and dream
like ripples on the water
beyond the abyss
the echoed voice of hope
my soul has run aground
set my spirit free
hear the waves of the ocean
faithfully aboard the cold
close my eyes and dream
like ripples on the water
beyond the abyss
the echoed voice of hope
my soul has run aground

About this poem:
I wrote this at 4am. I feel this way sometimes. At other times I feel immense joy.A Hundred Or More
Reduce speed road work ahead next 5 miles
But the rain will keep pouring down
For a hundred or more
I've been this way many times for sure
But this time is different
Than all the times before
Giving up and letting go
As every song on the radio
Keeps telling me she won't be talking to me anymore
Through the lonely years
I've been driving alone with a broken heart
Now it's no use to anyone who wants one that torn apart
It doesn't matter now how many miles are left to go
Wish I could turn memories off like the radio
And now the rain is really starting to pour
Miles of heartache and one last goodbye is all I was really looking for
Reduce speed road work ahead next 5 miles
But still I travel alone a hundred or more
But the rain will keep pouring down
For a hundred or more
I've been this way many times for sure
But this time is different
Than all the times before
Giving up and letting go
As every song on the radio
Keeps telling me she won't be talking to me anymore
Through the lonely years
I've been driving alone with a broken heart
Now it's no use to anyone who wants one that torn apart
It doesn't matter now how many miles are left to go
Wish I could turn memories off like the radio
And now the rain is really starting to pour
Miles of heartache and one last goodbye is all I was really looking for
Reduce speed road work ahead next 5 miles
But still I travel alone a hundred or more

Post CommentThe Good Front
He's been sailing on a ship called the good front
For so long he's lost track of time
No one else on board all alone is he with no destination in mind
He kept a log of all his heartaches
Tis a secret of a girl he once knew
But on the good front every day the skies are blue
Yes the captain is well
And every night on the starboard side
He searches without fail
All the stars up above
Would there be one to guide him to love
The winds are calm so he waits to sail
Whenever he sails the good front ashore
People cheer with such flare
The captain is known by everyone as charming and debonair
For so long he's lost track of time
No one else on board all alone is he with no destination in mind
He kept a log of all his heartaches
Tis a secret of a girl he once knew
But on the good front every day the skies are blue
Yes the captain is well
And every night on the starboard side
He searches without fail
All the stars up above
Would there be one to guide him to love
The winds are calm so he waits to sail
Whenever he sails the good front ashore
People cheer with such flare
The captain is known by everyone as charming and debonair

Everybody who knows
Have I met your approval
Who will you pick out for me
Does she meet your approval
It doesn't matter what I think what I feel
I must do what I'm told
They want to replace my heart with one of steel
So I guess this will be another year on hold
Everybody who knows it all
Why do you punish me so
Surely you must have some flaw
How many stones will you throw
And here's something to think about more
As your perfection greets me at the door
Do the stones meet your approval
Have I met your approval
Who will you pick out for me
Does she meet your approval
It doesn't matter what I think what I feel
I must do what I'm told
They want to replace my heart with one of steel
So I guess this will be another year on hold
Everybody who knows it all
Why do you punish me so
Surely you must have some flaw
How many stones will you throw
And here's something to think about more
As your perfection greets me at the door
Do the stones meet your approval

Does anyone care
I often wonder in my moments of despair
If I were to die today would anybody truly care
Will they be at my bedside as I slowly slip away
Or will they be off on an adventure many miles away
Will it be quick or will it be slow
Who will be there when I finally go
What hearts will break what lives will shatter
For the loss of someone who doesn't really matter
So when that day inevitably comes for me
I hope those I love will be there for me to see
If I were to die today would anybody truly care
Will they be at my bedside as I slowly slip away
Or will they be off on an adventure many miles away
Will it be quick or will it be slow
Who will be there when I finally go
What hearts will break what lives will shatter
For the loss of someone who doesn't really matter
So when that day inevitably comes for me
I hope those I love will be there for me to see

About this poem:
I wrote this because I suffer from severe anxietyGoodbye Cruel Friend
Now I finally see her and it hurts so much to know
After I loved her so deeply
She never loved me at all and now where can I go
For she was nothing more than the leader of the gang
Who have always tried to stop me to block me
And for what they have done they feel no shame
Now it's finally over it's come down to the end
Never got to kiss her never got to hold her
And it's hurts to say goodbye cruel friend
Now all the deceivers have to start over again
I've been through hell and baby I got back
Goodbye cruel friend
After I loved her so deeply
She never loved me at all and now where can I go
For she was nothing more than the leader of the gang
Who have always tried to stop me to block me
And for what they have done they feel no shame
Now it's finally over it's come down to the end
Never got to kiss her never got to hold her
And it's hurts to say goodbye cruel friend
Now all the deceivers have to start over again
I've been through hell and baby I got back
Goodbye cruel friend
