My Poetry
Just a few of the poems that I
have written that tell you a little
about me and how I think...........;-)

A Family's Love
When a man thinks of all that he has,
He thinks of the trials he’s gone through.
He try’s to understand the sorrows and woes,
And the pains that he has endured.
He looks to the life that is passing him by,
And all the fun others do have.
He wonders why he is chosen this path,
And why he continues to try.
Can it be that it’s worth the tears and pain,
Is there something that makes it worthwhile.
Dose he know something that others do not,
Or is he crazy and hopelessly lost.
There is only one thing that I know of,
That can justify all of his hope.
It’s the smile on his family’s faces,
And the joy in his family’s heart.
So if I should happen to look foolish,
And if others should scoff at my life,
There is always a safe haven to hide in,
And that is my family’s LOVE.

Love
I look up in the sky
and see the birds in flight
I peer into a near by lake
and see the fish as they spawn
are we the only ones that love
is it just a human trait
I am not sure but I know what I feel
it is the feeling of something
greater than myself
as if guided by a sage of old
or a force deep within
it lets me know that there is someone
that is perched on my world
that holds me tight
and drives away my fear
someone that makes me whole
in a world fragmented and obscure
there is a binding force
a nurturing to my life's endless needs
this is love, that I need and want
love that makes sense where there is only fear
it makes me whole where once I was torn
because of love I am complete

Woman
What is this dream we call woman
Is she someone that possesses?
Like a demoness or seer
Can it be that she knows me?
Or just an understanding of me
Does she see even that which I do not?
She mystifies me
And makes the little boy in me tremble
She holds the keys to my being
So why does she perplex me so?
Why can’t I understand her?
How is it that she hides?
Why do I want her so deeply?
How does she consume my thoughts?
It has to be the eyes
