The Stare
The Gentle Gaint Aug 2017
You stare into  eternity with that daze glaze
Like they are a cold glass of sweet tea on that hot day
Like they are the answer before you knew the question.
You stare and smile, that real smile that you only let a few see
You stare deeper and deeper trying to see what if anything
They stare back with this daze glaze ..:

Four Letter Words
The Gentle Gaint Oct 2015
The four letter words
they drive us insane

Four letter words are use for encouragement
they can even hurt us

they make us happy
the make us mad

they are adjectives
they are verbs

We live by them
We die by them

Time
The Gentle Gaint Oct 2015
Tick Tick Tick Tick
It counts down
It counts up

It goes by fast
It goes by slow

We want to fly
We want it slow

It makes things grow
It makes things die

But most all I just want my time
When is it my time

You
The Gentle Gaint Oct 2015
You
Your presences
Your smile
Your laughter
Your goofiness
Your eyes

The  fact that you can just go with the flow and listen.
The  fact that you just came out of know where and showed that you care.

We are both broken, torn apart, walls built up and only a certain people can get in.

How did you do it?
How did you just walk through the walls I have up?
It like you had a key to the doors. Not one but all of them.

I wonder if you know it, even if you see it.

But the one thing I can count on is you being you.

Strong
The Gentle Gaint Apr 2015
Strong ? How do you defined strong?
Lifting, carrying over a distance, going through the day without help?
You just keep going no idea how strong you are.
Looking for a way to defined strong you are.
Beating yourself up because you dont know.

Death
The Gentle Gaint Jan 2015
From the day we are born we are dying
We spend that time seeing what the world has to offer
We grow
We See
We do
Most of all We lived
We have regrets
We have a blast
We get into trouble
We still lived
We have first loves
We have best friends
We have enemies
Yet well still lived
We work
We marry
We have a family
And we still lived
We have lived the life that we set
Then we die
Some will show up
Some won't care
But Yet you Lived you life
Just thinking about life and how it goes. Just things happen so fast. Dad is in ICU. So this just helps me

Brothers
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
We may be blood, we may be not
We grew up together
We always have each others back
We fought each other
We fought for each other
We have memories of good
We have memories of bad
I wouldn't change it for the world
You are my brother
Now lets go get in some trouble

Garden
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
You turn the ground over
you look through your seeds to plant
you choose the right one
you plant it
you water it
you nurture it
watching it grow
you pull any weeds that start to grow
you watch it grow bigger and bigger
slowly you see the reward
after all that love, dedication, sweat you put in
the garden rewards you

How does your garden grow

Shoes
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Big ones, small ones
many colors, or just plain black
high up or flat to the ground
leather, cloth
fancy, sporty
soft, hard
made to get *****, made to look pretty
some that tie up, some that slip on
made to flop, made to keep you warm
You may walk a million miles in shoes
But nobody walks in the same pair

Door Mat
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
I sit at the your doors for you to wipe your feet on
You run across with without care
I get ***** from your filthy abuse
You wash me, dry me, lay me back down
But for what?
For you to ***** me again
The life of a door mat
To catch your filth and not to care
Just think one day I will not be there
Dec 2014 · 317
Steps
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Left, right, left , right, left, right
add a 1/4 cup if this and a cup of that
clear the land, smooth it out, mark the ground to be built
you must do that to do that
Left, right, left, right
stir the dry before you add the wet
lay the rebar, pour the concrete
after you have do that now do this
left, right, left

Knocking
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Knock, knock there is a rapping at the door
You just sit there
Knock, knock again there is it
You still just sit there
You wonder who is it
You get up look out the door
More knocking this time louder
Who is, who is you ask
Louder and louder
The knocking still goes on
You open the door
That was the opportunity
You just go back to doing what you did before

Your Words
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Its a slash here
a stab there
A cut here
a shot there

You let them go like Niagara Falls
Rushing fast, furious , out of control
Sweeping me down , drowning me

You have no care how they come
You just let them fly

But your words will haunt you
They are your words
Dec 2014 · 708
These are Just Words
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
******, *******, ***,  ****
They strike anger into us
What are they just words
Worthless, stupid, idiot
They make us feel like a *******
What are they just word

Make you feel
Make you hate
Make you smell
Make you taste

Bring you back to memories of good
Bring you back to memories of bad

In the end all they are just Words
We let the littlest words
We let the biggest word
Control Us

But all they are just **Word

Money
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Easy come
Easy go
It makes the world go round
You need for everything
You want to so you can feel like everything
It brings you happiness, joy
It brings you hate, discomfort
We need it
You want
That little thing called Money

Loving the Lost
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
He has what he need but he wants more
He looks for it everyday
He wants it
It took years for it to come to him, but he lost it
He talks about it, he tries to fix it
But he can't
If he open his eyes he would see it
It is right in front of him
But he wont except it
Its like he is reaching for it but can get it
He is looking  for the love from one
He has many who love him but he just doesn't see it.

Me
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Me
I hide
From me
I run
From me
I am scared
of Me
I am a brother, son, father
I try
Do I try hard enough?
I fail
Am I a failure?
I seek the unknown
For pure pleasure
I drink
To hide the demons
I am me
Me is better then that
I have over came that
I am better then all of that
But that just me
Dec 2014 · 319
Love
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Motherly, fatherly, brotherly, sisterly,
Unconditionally, unexpected, nurturing
Kids, animals
The one thing that you want, desire, need
The think that makes us feel complete
Cherish the love you have
Dec 2014 · 260
Heart
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Beating, pumping, crushed, breaking
Leads us down a road to the unknown
Betrayed, hurt, unforgiving
Opens a person to many different feeling
Allows us to feels alone, brave, loved
Just beating, pumping away
Dec 2014 · 238
You
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
You
Who are you? Are you who you think you are?
Is that you in the mirror? Looking at yourself?
Are you looking deep inside or what on the outside?
Well what do you see? Really? What do you see? Nothing?
Look deeper, no deeper, almost there just a little bit deeper.
Are you caring? Loving? Helpful? Needy ?
The person who you think you are, is not who you are!
You have walls, you are building them , hiding behind them.
Not talking about you but rather you are running from who you are.
The person you are is scared, is running from their life, who is trying to forget who they are.
Yes, that is you . Don't believe me? Just look at who you are then.
Now become YOU

Beauty
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Eye of the beholder?
Inside more than outside?
Scars, make-up, fake, social,
Hiding, unwanted, unattractive
What is, where is your beauty?

Rage
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Mood, anger, ******
the inner beast
The moment of freedom from it all
Clear headed,
Had to do what was needed
How do you release your rage
Dec 2014 · 717
Fishing
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Relaxing, no worries, no cares
no since of time
Poles, lines, hooks, bait
Catching, releasing,
Rain, sun, clouds, night
Hot, cold
No work, memories
Stories
and you were just fishing

War
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
War
Fighting, killing, bleeding, dying
Winning, losing, destroying,
Bodies, death, funerals,
Volunteering, oath, life
This War
No winners, both losers
Lost are the youth, family, history, peace
What you think you have gain, you have already lost.

Hero
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
The Hero
A person who you look up to in a time of need
Mom? Dad? Brother? Sister? Family? Solider? Firemen ?
Not defined by race, age, ***,
Defined on what they did
Hero's don't know they are hero's,
they go on in their life without knowing
Who will be your Hero?
Take the time to thank your Hero
Dec 2014 · 276
Walls
The Gentle Gaint Dec 2014
Bricks, stones, wood, fortified
Tall, long, thick, deep
Couple feet long , millions of miles long
Put up out fear, hurt, protection,
To keep people out, to keep people in
They go up easily, but hard to take down

— The End —
