a truckers emptiness

driving a truck
late at night
on the road
most of the month
all alone
nobody to call
nobody to share
country road
car in a driveway
lights are on
driving by a house
with a mom and dad
daughter and son
eating dinner in
the evening sun
driving alone
grab a burger
eat alone
continue to drive
on this country road
driving by homes
filled with family
of love
driving by looking in
wondering where is
my home my family
of love

About this poem:
so many times driving by homes just thinking how these people really don't realize what they have a home and a family wife or husband to come home every night. just all the days of being on the road where truckers don't have any of that. some days it is sooo depressing not having this.

Baby ... Move

You can hang 'round worrying
in that closet of doom.
Or you can stick your foot out
get a feel for your room.
See the sun through the window
in casting light across gloom.

Baby ... move.

You can be happy and live life
in all of your days.
Or you can hang onto your trials
And those immovable ways.
But you know the sun shines brightest
on those who step into it's rays.

Baby ... move.

Don't get emotional,
You'll cry an ocean you'll,
Be in love you'll see.

Don't get too personal,
Superficial person you'll,
Fall into love that you'll be.

Don't get emotional,
A sail on the ocean you'll,
Empty into the sea.

Baby ... move.

Tulips in May

Dressed in all her delight
crocheted cozie
a coulorful sight

an elegant arch
from which love poured

an aroma
leaves

in flight it soared

today
but one cup

to only fill

So gently


I rested her

on the window sill

special lady

i never
questioned you
just happy
loving you
as a friend

one knows
how you stand
in the shadows
of love
i once lived
in that shadow
take it from me

i am strong minded
here anytime
if you want
a smile
one day
you will
see shadows

they are for
a reason
hands on
one heart
you are a friend
at least
we share
our thoughts
in writing

bringing out
the best
in me
as a writer
even we only write
our dreams
of love
beautiful dreams

how they stand
in my mind
if we were to
ever meet
god help me
i would fall
into you

worship the ground
on which
you stand
i pray
some day
i meet
someone just
like you

the rock
in which
to build
a palace
fit for
one princess
amongst women
a gem
honoured to be
your fiend

even i know
the ending
its housed
in dreams
passing you
a very sweet
hug for a very
special lady

The Possum Motel Part 3 Room Service

Question four; What does a possum eat?
Figuring it was rat like, almost anything.
To the kitchen I go , and as if looking
For something to eat for myself, I stare
In the refrige as if it had some hidden
Treasure ready to be found.
I grab an apple.

The next line you read, I did it, but
As I type, I can't believe I did it!
Taking the apple to the sink and
Rinsing it off, I CORE IT! For a possum!
Putting it in a bowl, along with a
Bowl of water, I lay it in the center
Of the room, keeping a watchful
Eye out for my future neminineus.
I close the door and convince myself,
Not to worry about it until the morning.


The next morning I get up and
Call S, the twin that lived locally,
At the time; I tell her about the possum.
She asks me if I named it. Of course not!
I don't want to get chummy with it.
She tells me to name after some Greek
Philosopher that I can't pronounce,
Let alone spell.
So out of my mind, to appease her
I dub him Opie.
She hated it!

I return to the possum's lair,
To find it's not in the room or
Not to be seen , at least.
The apple's gone, water bowl
Tipped over, but no Opie.
If you ever seen The Green mile,
Or read it, there's a scene that
The guards tare a room a part to
Find a mouse.
That's what I did to find Opie.
Nothing! I then pull everything out
Of the closet; Stuff I forgotten
I put in there, when I moved
Over a year ago.

I look at the wall that separates
The two closet's; solid,
No escape burrows. I'm confused.
There's no way this thing could
Get out!
I get another apple, CORE that one,
And grab a bowl that was designed
For a Great Dane, and set them on
The floor and close the door.

Broken Lanterns in the Moonlight.

Daffodils and sunflowers
lie like broken lanterns-
shattered in the moonlight.
Beside them the willows weep
swaying somberly
beneath the stars.

if only she knows

Lost yet again
on your quest for peace
but undaunted as you unleash
your strength into the wind
and although the shadow
seems to mask your fear
caged in the stillness of the night
your dream is holding you up high
even in the threshold of defeat
and as you tread the ways
of redemption
your undiminished hope
hanging on your shoulder
has escaped from your thoughts
just for tonight, yes
at this moment
you just want to be a kid
innocent and playful
enjoy the touch of your feet
running down, jumping
upon this empty lustrous field
don't want to do anything
just lie down and enjoy the peace
of being alone,
thinking and remembering
those innocent hugs
and kisses, still seeking
thinking what might have been
had you stayed as she wanted
but it was never your choice
as you were called and be obliged
to be on the front line
and when the sun comes up
those thoughts will yet again
be neatly tucked away
hoping that once in a while
she remembers you...if only
she knows, you want to live
because of her...go home
alive and whole..

if only she knows.

Where is love?

Where is love?,
I haven't seen her face,
Is it above?,
Cause there's none in this place,
Where is love?,
My eyes see only pain,
Ears hear only rain,
I sing again,
Where is love?
Why do you run from me?
Where are you hiding,
And I sing,
Where is love?,
Where is love?,
Where is love?,
Somebody please tell me,
Searching desperately,
I'm in need,
Where is love?
Whoa!,
Where is love?,
Ohhh!,
Where is love,
Nooo!,
Where is love?!!

A guys thoughts

When you text me on your phone
I wonder if your scared or just alone

You say your kind of shy
thats probably a lie
your most likely with
some other guy

You say you love me but I know you don't
your just saying that because you hope that I won't

when you tell me your cold and lonely yal had a fight
always ignoring me by day and texting me at night

you always seem nice to me
when you want some money
you then laugh at my jokes
then tell me there funny

you tease me saying soon
playing me like a cartoon

telling me what I want to hear
acting like you want me near

I see through you with every line
yet I still wish you would be mine

Why must I wait
why must I hate

and all for your sake
seeing what I can take
testing me
while i'm real
your just fake


I'm just a tool
a mere stepping stool

I understand that you seek happiness and he was what you sought
I was always there hinting asking but, you didn't care what I thought

Well its over now i'm threw done
you can actually laugh now you won

Its over I say over
ti'll I look over my shoulder
your there a huge weight
like a gigantic bolder
while your feeling warmer
i'm feeling colder
why can't this
just be over

while your relaxed sleeping soundly
i'm stuck with my self made hell of misery

You say your scared
that your not prepared

I want to let you go but, I can't
thats why I went on this stupidly insane rant

I'm there for you while your not for me
I wonder if thats how its supposed to be
