For Awhile I Will Smile The sun rises, and flowers bloom The sun sets, and they wither away There's no reason to be sad For tomorrow brings us another day Birds will sing and chirp Dogs will "sit" and "stay" Children will swing and laugh But how long will they play Before the moon touches the sky And stars dot the vast blackness Giving me a little light in the dark However, I still feel much sadness The black fades as dusk turns to dawn And the birds, dogs, and children Have returned to the green lawn And for awhile I will smile Happiness will fill my soul And everything will be good Nothing bad will be on my mind And things will be as they should Fallen Spirit Once I had it all in my grasp Then someone hit me with a rock I fell for an eternity into a deep dark pit My wings broken in the fall so I can not fly Only lie and watch the strangeness of now For your tommorrows are my yesterdays Today, it is a part of the past This keeps me confused and out of place Lost and found, shakened but stern Relearning what I once knew and felt Praying in time to get it all back Felling pains not felt before Waiting at the bottom of my perch Hoping soon to fly before the smoke can still my breath Drew's Final Set Bob is in the background As gin pours over Strawberry colored sand From the shoreline of An ocean of sawdust, And as he pedels his Blue crusier up to The front of his Fish-shape He grins and hangs ten As friends wave good-bye From their pier of broken peace. However, as he surfs into The pipeline of sunshine, Let not our tear filled eyes Blur our vision, for he has risen Into the souls of us all And it is here in this place, He shall dwell forever. Poem 1000 Sometimes life will give you rocks And other times it's roses Just remember that the roses have thorns And the rocks are plentiful All you have to do is look down and you will find them Don't be decieved by shallow beauty Unless you wish to be pricked 33 To 45 Rpms The cycle of life is a neverending rotation of pain That spins round and round at differentiating speeds. Bringing back the past As it throws me into a cold, dark future. And no matter how fast I run towards tommorrow, Yesterday will show it's familiar face As a stumbling block That will surely put me on my rear. Back Home I just got back from where that one place where the stars burn bright in the night in the fight to keep away the fright of your dreams that reflect moonbeams in a wave of streams rolling across my face each second I beckon you my shining star I am here come home to hour place of glass where father time stands still when we spill our sands across the face of mother nature while smiling terribly at my own face To Her A Letter to My True Love Our love seems gone But your eyes still comfort me in my sleep I see them in the sky I see them in the trees And when I see there match It brings me to my knees For you I breathe For you I speak and cry Why I ask Do you elude me in this dream Will you always wait for me There down by the stream Just let me know somehow So that I can be sure it's you My mistress, these games have wearied my spirit Let's stop this foolish game Let's bring it back So things can be the same A woman's sweet desire Outside by June-Grass Warm intimately delicious Laugh blue sky Love without end |
