For Farrah (Fawcett)

Vote: Vote Up0 Vote Down0

A great beauty has passed from this life.
Of good times and sometimes toil and strife.
Some will say that she went to a better place.
Look at a blue sky or a white cloud, you will still see her face.
Movements like those of a gazelle in flight.
Hair that shone like gold on a moonlit night.
Eyes that could [...]

Goodbye Michael

Vote: Vote Up0 Vote Down0

A star has been plucked from the sky.
The sky is now dimmer.
It happened on June 25th.
A day, we will always remember.
Never again to see Michael’s smile light up the skies.
Never again to see him moonwalk across the stage as his fans cries.
Never again to hear him sing Billie Jean.
To the roaring sound of his fans’ [...]

The Painter

I keep my friends eternally
We leave our tracks in the sound
Some of them are with me now
Some of them can’t be found
It’s a long road behind me
And I miss you now

Choices

Yes, no
I just don’t know
Live, die
Lord tell me why
You put
The twisted fate of life
In my hands,
Which hold the knife
That could end his life
or would mine suffice?
Should I make this sacrifice?
Should I cut my strings of life?
Or should I let fate take its toll
And see whose life
Will soon unfold.

I Don’t Fear Hell

I Don’t Fear Heaven,
And I Sure Don’t Fear Hell,
So Take Me Down There,
And To Satan I Will Tell,
Bring On The Pain That Awaits Me,
I Didn’t Come Her For A Reward,
But This Sure Beats Heaven,
Cause At Least Here I Ain’t Bored.

Nothing Left

Hard replacing
Those three pretty faces
Just as it started
It ended so abruptly
You were right
I didn’t know you
The more I asked
The more I was afraid you’d show me
Kinda still can’t believe it
You looked right at me when you spoke
Looking back I try not to make it a joke
Man, what a blow.
Hard to believe
You didn’t say
“What’s Wrong”
You just [...]

Memorial Day Poem

Memorial Day
A day to remember
Those who have passed
The ones we love to remember
I miss quite a few
My father lost two
In just the past year
I think of my gramps
My grandmothers and aunt
And my dog Elway
Still my best friend all the way
These people meant so much
My heart their memories clutch
And to my friends that lost their baby
How [...]

Walking Away

Vote: Vote Up11 Vote Down1

As I walk down the road
Opposite of you
I look over my shoulder
It’s very hard not to
I should have realized
Right away
That it was so easy for you
I was just in disarray
Didn’t want to believe it
It took five months
I still miss my friends
So very much.

Empty Bleachers

I got there early
Before anyone else
I had to do so
In case I let some of it out
Right there in those stands
Is where it would have been
Me on one knee
And you with a huge grin
There’s where my eyes
Were taken by yours
I hope your new position
Brings that and much more
I reminded my mind
And played it all back
You [...]

Lonely Again

Vote: Vote Up65 Vote Down9

Sitting in class lonely again,
Thinking bout the way it has been, thought it was love,
Though it was true ,
Then a name came out the blue,
I asked and asked what was his name, then a look a look of shame,
I asked do you feel the same,
She replies no as tears fell from her eyes, how, how [...]
