A Valentine Poem

Think of green and gold, sapphire hues,
With darkness gone your freedom is fun,
There is nothing wrong with staying you,
Natural love and joy is best shared in the sun.

Before the whole of all we see, let dreams be,
Sometimes there is nothing to be seen,
The truth is life is real, yet in the night you
Can feel that you're truly living in the dream.

Fantasy is left to the best, some can even be
There in "your concern" but the real test
Is learning to be true to what you yearn,
You shall rise to the top when it's you're turn.

Think of green, think of gold, her wild strength
And beauty to behold, playful and tough, such gorgeous sight,
And oh so cute-you can see he's the right one for you,
Be mine, my green and gold valentine! I'll be in your arms tonight.

I still remember your eyes
I still remember you always holding me
Keeping me safe from harm with all your charm
I remember feeling you looking at me, and I
Know you're still there, you're so wonderful!
I couldn't help but fall in love with you
And get crushes everywhere else, too.
It's just so unfair to have found such
Lovely romances, and suffer heartbreaks!
I can't help where my heart
Goes, but that's why I'm torn apart...
Please remember I'm always here and so is
My love too, it's not easy to be what society
Wants of you, especially love! Love is wild and
It's so undesired to be told I'm a cheater
When I have an excuse, I'm only human too!
Just remember I wasn't born with a defective
Heart, and it isn't easy to be torn apart.

"Opportunity," this American Dream life we so believe in,
The limo stops at the hotel, the rich people get in,
A set of old jars full of coins, a leaf blower, men with picks,
A brush put through ones hair, make up, vitamins, drugs,
The people sit in a park, the time passes, the clock ticks.

Stock market books sitting on the shelf, a church ***** playing,
A magnet stuck to the fridge, pictures with people smiling,
A war machine, the newspaper, a set of playing cards and a
Distant smile. A set of hedge clippers, a ferry crossing,

Solitaire.

A man on the curb with torn clothes and nothing at all
A set of file cabinets, clocks, the sent of a bank,
Golf clubs, a set of business magazines, a Barbie Doll,
Swaying hammocks, and one guy in the background
Who is losing it because he can't ever "take a fall."

How often are we torn apart by love? Love triangles ruin everything fun.
How often do we get into fights? Arguements and of course I'm not right.
How often do we lose ourselves in blame? Now it's my fault, such a shame.
And why do we do this? Our soul purpose in life is? Will we ever move on?
Of course, into oblivion we fight with all our might to be number one.
When someone is happy, we make sure their work will never be done,
By pushing buttons we can make even the strongest fall short,
By hitting below the belt we can make progress the "last resort."
Why do we fall so short of love and honesty? And where did all of these "Perfect Winners" come to be?

The Endless Spring

A single tree, etched with words of love in it's side,
A darkened plume of clouds are still in the fresh air,
Wisps of cottony white, floating in a silent, almost
A blissful unawareness of all worry and despair.

The three of them, so young and happy, laughing,
Trying to smack each other with backpacks, innocent,
Her, so strong and tough, and her friend so free spirited,
And he, effeminate, and not quite sure how to express it yet.

The side walks adjacent of the old school house are lined
With pine cones, evergreen trees, amidst fields of green,
Smoky plumes tower high into the sky, the water of life,
A story of some sorts, of great things in store, a living dream.

A bird calls out, soft rain gently falling on the field of grass,
A rebirth of all nature will take place there, a voice, a sign,
A story of a misfit boy, an endless book, of the greatest
Person to have ever lived in the shortest amount of time.

Her body calls to me like metal,
Like an air plane, like a pale cold beach,
Mid-morning dew right next to
The peach with blossoms and tea leaf.

The sharpest razor cuts into the neck,
It glides along slowly, shark in the dark,
I blink and try not to think of it's cold
Surface, like rose petals in a greying park.

It's a lost cause, but still I've gotten
Somewhere in ranks, the banners, the tanks,
All along the border the steely birds that prey
Are lined up, for the lost lives we give "thanks."

Building this wall, we've got to support some dream,
It's a popularity thing, it's about being disposable,
A quick fix in a time of uncertainty, of loyal dogs,
We look great spattered in red, this is encourage-able.

It's a fine line between do or die, we've just found
A way to make it seem like we are in the right,
Give the peaceful natives and hippies a "clue" of what is true,
We'll make "reasonable sacrifice," bring death with "Gods light."

So, the white man has come here, brought us "gifts"
Guns so we can all sleep less soundly, worried that
The stalker will find us in some dark alley-way,
Each one of these gifts are "perfect," "protect us" day by day.

So the white man has made his home here! He's got our "answers,"
He's made images and books that **** trees, needless to say
We don't need trees anyway, he's made houses that take even more,
His home is one of straw, will one day be gone but the scars remain.

So the white man has "aided in kind," he's given us blankets,
Blankets with all of our "needs met," yea we all don't mind,
Getting the small pox, leave this life behind it's fine,
We'll be better off dead than alive, but nature's deemed "less kind."

And all that I ask you is this, where will we be in the future?
We all know where this is headed. These creations are a lie,
Our lives and the land cursed with evil machines that will
Bring innocent life to an end, whilst men in vans take flight.
Tribal scars home answers nature innocent cursed machines
