I Wonder

Is it a phase that we all go through
Or does it affect just one or two?
That we see- yet we are blind
That we hear- yet we do not listen
That we touch-yet we do not feel
Hmmm- I wonder
That we love- yet do not show that emotion
That we cry- yet not shed a tear
That we laugh-yet pain inside
Hmmm- I wonder
That we live- yet we are dying
That we fill our stomachs-yet empty inside
That we walk or run-yet stand still
Hmmm- I wonder
That our minds are open-yet it’s closed
That all of this makes sense to you
Hmmm- I wonder

The Love From Above

tell her i love her for all that she's done
tell her i've always loved her
for she's my only one.

she has been my foundation
and my rock, always fighting against the clock.

she is a mother, she is a wife
and the kids are twice as nice.

five foot three and one hundred and eight.
looking fine, looking great.
hair light brown, eyes the same
any mans heart she could tame.

she is the love that every man seeks
she could take them to the highest peak.
she is the gift sent from above
she is the one and only
she is 'the love'.

Too Much To Drink

I had too much to drink- drinking in your love
Savoring your hips, your lips, your thighs, your eyes
Although you tried to hide it in disguise.

Drinking in your juices of pure ecstasy
This is where I want to be.
This is a drink so unique, and so rare
That with no one will I share.

This drink has body, and taste, like none before
And I want it to last forever more.
it carries me like a leaf in the wind
As sweet as wine, yet as strong as gin.

There is no other drink that can compare
As to the drink that we both share.

Savor the love!

What A Woman Can Do***************1979

when a woman can bring beauty into the heart of man
she knows that she is on the right track.
for man will always try to hide the feelings
he has locked up inside.
it is an emotion he will try to deny.

but when he looks upon your face
he will know it's no disgrace
to let his feelings all unwind
and want to be with you til the end of time.

for a woman can bring out the feelings that he never knew
she can take away the sadness and heartaches
he may have gone through.
to make him feel he can confide in you.

'this is what a woman can do'.

World Wide Poets- Where Do We Go

where do we go when we have so much to say
and on deaf ears, my words do play.
where do we go when we are hurting inside
and the pain you can't relieve, no matter how you try.
where do you go when the words scream to be free
and no one to touch except you or me.
you know there are worldwide poetry sites
and at each one you must be strong
and willing to fight.
these words and feelings that you have locked up inside
are tired of crying and wanting to hide.
so write your words and see who will respond
and have them break your chains, your bonds.

Don't Ever Give Up On Yourself

don't ever give up on yourself
don't get to the point of despair
so many people around you
there is always someone that cares.

life is what we make of it
it all depends on you
there is love in everyones heart
and at times it does'nt show.
but keep the faith in the LORD above
and then you will know.

everyone goes thru aches and pains
that is the cross we all share.
but that does'nt mean theres
no one out there, .
who can show they really care.

follow your heart like you would a bird in flight
that is when you will feel,

We Hear-We Care

some times women think that a man does'nt hear or care.
what a woman or child is going through.
i'll tell you this-'thats not true'
man can feel the inner most need
once they plant their fertile seed.

they see the pain etched on their face-
and the sweat on their brow.
this is when they ask 'how'.
how can the women take the pain?
and yet still be the same.

they say' the meak shall inherit the earth'.
it is the woman-when she gives birth.

to all the women -i can say.
we do hear and care what you're going thru.
we just don't know 'what to do'.

Young Poets Society

to all the young poets in this worlds society.
as a father and grand father as well.
you have made me as proud as can be.
you take the depths of the ocean-and set peoples lives in motion.
for when someone as young as you -can see what we've
gone through.
and feel the elders aches and pains, it will never be the same.
so i stand here proud as can be
through your poetry you have been set free
and i thank you for those memories.
(pain and love have no boundaries)
so continue to write and tell what you see and feel-
and let others know that this is real.

Sweet Sorrows***************1978

we met many years ago
in a time which we forgot.
i had really loved you
but you had loved me not.

you had taken me for granted
and turned my love aside.
you said you could'nt love me
and turned and said goodbye.

the years have come and gone
since that heartbreak night.
now we meet again in a
swinging dicoteque with lights.

you see me doing the hustle
with all the girls in sight.
my back is turned towards you
as you walk out to the floor.

Purpose To Life

dear lord! you know that i don't often pray.
but! i have so much to say.
i thank you for all that you have done for me.
that you have set my heart free.

you give a purpose in this life-and a desire to help others.
friend, family, sister and brothers.
help me to search my own heart and to know what
i must do. to get even closer to you.

it seems that when we sit and write
everything is in plain sight.
we can put in words-what people want to hear
if you are willing to share.

all your dreams, hopes and prayers
that can take you to a place beyond compare.
