51/M I write poetry. It flows out of me. I’m also an Artist, Writer, and Creative Thinker. / Twitter: @GonzoJ40
It glistens on the pavement When cold it turns to ice I’d dance under its pouring And never once think twice In ways it is romantic The pitter patter overhead And no sound is more relaxing While laying tucked up in your bed

Pitter Patter
I had to let go of what I never had That fire, that spark from within I had to show heart, right from the start In a world full of blind hate and sin I couldn’t continue, I couldn’t go on Knowing that I held on too tight It took all I had Not to go mad Despite my own ego and plight Some say I’m wrong That I shouldn’t go on But I never gave up or quit When I watched you go From a friend to a foe It made me unwell for a bit

Letting Go
I met the man you speak of I had the devil in my sights I had nothing but my guitar And endless sleepless nights I walked down to the crossroads He offered me a chance He said he’d put me on a stage So the entire world could dance He said the strings would play themselves I didn’t have to do a thing He’d even give me vocal cords So I could play and sing It sounded so enticing I almost signed my name I got blinded by the fantasy And the promise of some fame But I did come to my senses I said I’ll practice all the same I told him I wasn’t interested In playing children’s games He instantly grew angry Said he’d reserve my place in hell I said that’s fine and dandy But my soul, I will not sell This made him even angrier I could tell I struck a nerve I told him to go back to hell To get what he deserves He smiled, and he winked at me It sent shivers down my spine Now I live every day like it’s my last And I appreciate my time

The Crossroads
Petrified, not able to breath A hush of silence engulfs me Tantalizing emotions fall feverishly close to the edge I am despondent Unconditionally distant Like blades of grass near the ocean The sea air surfaces like a dorsal fin in the water I feel attacked Reeling back from my own experiences I mourn the pain

Petrified
The map on my head lets me know I’m not dead And allows me to continue along Between my ears, there’s dreams and there’s fears And a melody that stems from a song Gone or the times of haiku’s and rhymes When writing a particular poem Throughout my years it’s not as appears And I’m still trying to find my way home

Road Maps
The future weighs a ton Cause nothings being done About the atrocities that we see today And why we need to own a gun The system is in shambles War is all we see Amid the working class And our own individuality Where’s our first amendment rights Inside the Stars and Stripes We can’t afford to light the fuse And then extinguish the fire it ignites

Stars And Stripes
I’m stupefied, I am mystified I’m shocked beyond belief I’m mortified, I’m terrified I’m shaking like a leaf To the depths of our creation To the wallows in the mires To the steppingstone of our demise To heaven‘s warm desires I shall be free from tyranny And the nations ugly liars Instead, I warm my hands On Hells unearthly fires

Heavens Warm Desires
I have a photo of the ocean And of the crashing waves The sun on the horizon Sending down its rays In the air there are some seagulls Scouring the land Be careful what you’re eating Because they’ll steal it from your hand On the sand, there is a beach chair A shovel and a pail And a boat without an engine Just about to sail There are three or four pedestrians In their swimming trunks And a diver in his wetsuit Looking for treasure that has sunk The sky is blue, the clouds are white And there’s a plane that’s far But still in sight The photograph, it has it all Even a net and volleyball A fine day with so much to do I’d go now if I were you

Beach Day
There were whispers, there were murmurs Lies were being told I tried to get the truth out But the trail was running cold I gathered up my info From everyone I know Then I shouted out for all to hear That I reached a new plateau My suspicion wasn’t wasted There was rhythm, there was flow The only thing that made sense to me Is that it was done by a pro

My Suspicions
I looked into the distance I didn’t stare, I gazed I wondered how I’d get back down And if there were any caves The view was so alluring I can’t overstate my praise I watched the way the leaves fell down And how the seasons changed My mind was free from anarchy And from the hurt and pain Now all I see is elegance In ways I can’t explain
