Ode Poems (274)

the best things in life
cannot be seen
or touched
just felt in the heart
and the heart grows stronger
when shared by we two

NEVER WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE .WHENEVER I THINK OF YOU I CRY . YOU LOOK SO MAJESTIC STANDING HIGH ON YOUR CORNER OF THE WORLD.YEARS MAY COME AND YEARS MAY GO BUT I WISH MY TIME WITH YOU HAD GONE SLOW. WHEN I ENTERED YOUR HALLS, I WAS A KID.AND WHEN I LEFT YOUR WALLS , THEY SHIPPED ME OFF TO A NONSENSE WAR

OH MARTIN VAN BUREN, MAY YOU STAND BRIGHT AND TALL,AND FOREVER MAY YOU PRODUCE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL BECOME SOMETHING ,THEN YOU CAN SAY: I"M PROUD THAT YOU ARE ALUMNI OF MY SCHOOL.

Always My Friend




Written in Memory of Stacey V. Bell





We were friends before we were together



Who could've predicted that



Our friendship was meant to last forever



We made memories, both good and bad



that Saturday when I heard the news



I suddenly felt alone and sad



We had times that we laughed



We had times that we cried



If I said I'm not going to miss you



That would be a lie



These bittersweet memories



That you and I shared



I will always treasure them



I will ALWAYS care



But, you are in heaven now



I trust in safe arms you have arrived



Still, Nothing can replace



This Friendship I've been deprived



With all my heart, I do sincerely pray



That God is holding your hand, as you find your way....................

I adore coming the first thing in the morning, whether alone or with someone, I always come between 5 and 7 a.m, 365 days in the year!!!!

"What IF" I'd tell my thinking,(IF my old brain could be told),
the little "IF" word wasn't there?, Would we have thoughts to hold?

Imagination would be gone IF we did not have "IF",
then conversation would stagnate and intellect be stiff.

"IF only" would not be our cry, when we were feeling sad
and what IF "what IF"s weren't so? Then no dream to be had.

"I would" would also be defunct, IF "IF" could not be there.
We'd only have, "I will", "I did", "I do", or "I don't care".

How limiting without our "IF"!, What possibles we'd lose!
We'd have to forfeit logic and our basic right to choose

I am the word.
I am definition.
I am the expression of thought which can fill or forge a silence, and I am essential to your world.

I am baby's first, and everyone's last.
I am the reason for the ear.
I am acceptance and wishing well, or what someone needs to hear.

I am a whisper told in secret.
I am an angry shout.
I am the song of every emotion, and I can wound ego, convey trust, wield hatred; and I can tell every story - paragraph and verse.

I can make you laugh.
I am the unsaid, and sometimes I am what cannot be unsaid.
I am crystal clear, and I am misunderstood.
I am lost in translation.

I am truth - naked, loving, selfish and unkind.
I am cold and calculating hurt, but I can rescue you with lies.
I am what you tell yourself, and what can help you change your mind.
I can build you up, or tear you down, let you see or keep you blind.

I am what you're lost for, or on the tip of your tongue, and in case you haven't noticed - what you're looking at right now.
I am sorry and forgiveness, and their topsy-turvy neither.
I can fail you in advice, or I can guide you with some wisdom.

I can turn friends into enemies, and enemies into friends.
I am the catalyst for memories when you speak - " remember when? "
I am from the minds of tyrants, and from the hearts of decent men.
I am the word.
I am the toil of the writer, and I am mightier than the pen.

Will end commence as it began...
moments passing so swiftly...
it's as if I ran...
remembering so little...
subconsciously brittle...

Sandie, I loved...

heart and soul...


my hand in hers...

In her life...

my life gloved.

Every sunrise starts with a sunset
The sun even shines on the cloudy days you just have to look for it
Look at me as I am not as
I was
Marriage is a two way street that just happens to run in the same direction
A positive attitude equals a positive life
No one is perfect so be yourself
Be the best person that you can be, be yourself

I should clean you more often, so i hear
From the bugs that came out from there, last year.
I should care and tidy, what others don't Got,
I should keep maintaining my fire, so it stays hot.
It should be kept spotless, and not a flaw.
Cause,Under the fridge, is what they saw

Believe me when strangers first arrive,
Their just looking for a puddle, so they can dive.
Come in scrounging for more than a key,
soon enough desperate enough, to drop to their knees,
under the fridge is where they'll Check,
make sure its shiny, not with a single spec.





people like to go around and snoop
Like-wise my dog, in the neighbors chicken coop
