A Second - Hand Heart 2/19/2005
Falling In Love to Falling Apart,
Now I'm left with a second-hand heart.
Used up, discarded, erased from the past,
You said it wasn't love so how could it last.
<br>
Return to sender with the postage still due,
A shattered heart labeled 'we are through.'
Falling In Love to Falling Apart,
Not much use for a second-hand heart.

Silent Attractions 2/19/2005
An unlikely couple you so reserved and me so out,
Although your inner strength draws me in.
Perhaps it is a side of me that cries to be heard,
Or an extension of you that begs to be set free.
<br>
Who knows why unlikely people make perfect sense,
To understand would reveal the mysteries of life.
That same essence that allows us to breathe effortlessly,
That is how it feels ...

Missing Little Things 2/15/2005
Missing Little Things
<br>
The sound and the rustle of wet autumn leaves
<br>
And raindrops like nickels that fall from the eaves
<br>
The smell of the fireplace anew in the breeze
Pull gray winter clouds over treetops with ease
<br>
So we snuggle and wrestle for a place warm and dry
<br>
And match thoughts just briefly; the blink of ...

Ivory Islands 2/15/2005
This poem was written to specifically prove to a college
literature professor that we all interpret poems differently.
See if you can figure out what it is all about...few have

missing you 2/3/2005
the rain falls slowly
the lights are dim
i sit alone my thoughts of him
we were together for many a year
and as i remember i wipe a tear
the day you told me what the Doc had said
filled up my heart withsorrow and dread
it seemed my life had ended the day you went away
my world crushed down around me all in a day
it hurts so much to let you go

WISHING, 2/2/2005
MANY TIMES WE SIT ALONE
WISHING FOR THINGS WE'VE NEVER KNOWN
MAYBE WISHING THAT WE COULD
LIVE THE PAST AGAIN
OR JUST WISHING FOR THE THINGS
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WE WISH FOR MONEY, LUXURIES, AND GOLD
WISHING THAT WE COULD NEVER GROW OLD
SOMETIMES WE WISH FOR THE BRIGHT SUNNY DAY
AND EVEN WISHING SOME TIME WE CAN RUN AWAY
WE CAN NEVER BE CONTENT OR DELIGHT

Hello from the Magic of Middle Earth. 2/1/2005
This not my poem but I do love it all the same.
<br>
The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow if I can
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then? I cannot say.

WE BELONG TOGETHER 1/21/2005
WE BELONG TOGETHER YOU AND I
AND EVEN DEATH CAN'T KEEP US APART
ALTHOUGH YOU MAY TAKE THAT JOURNEY
YOU'LL LIVE FOREVER IN MY HEART
DOWN HERE WE TOIL AND SUFFER
AND DO OUR VERY BEST
LIFE IS ONE LONG BATTLE
FROM WHICH THERE IS NO REST
IF THE DEATH ANGEL COMES
TO CARRY YOU AWAY
I KNOW YOU'LL ONLY BE RESTING

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY, THERE ARE
REASONS YOU SHOULDN'T TELL A LIE

THIS WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A FRIEND-HOPE YOU ENJOY
I KNELT TO PRAY BUT NOT FOR LONG

FOR BILLS WOULD SOON BE DUE
SO I KNELT AND SAID A HURRIED PRAYER

HIS WORLD WAS ALL FILLED WITH GRIEF AND WOE
HE WAS ALL ALONE AND NO PLACE TO GO

Is descending upon the city
Above and beyond lies
The eternal blue sky.

To see August again and again.
No wind, no rain, no clouds
August brings
This solemn mist
To delight my senses.

Everything stands still

Just a few birds
