Dear Poets and Readers

This poem page will be dedicated
to our men and women in Blue
To those who have given their life

These are only a few of our fallen

These officers were true heroes
So very sad they are gone,
And now we are left to carry on
Without them

Somewhere deep in a clearing
way back in the woods

Where those wild ferns grow
And the man doesn't go

Gathers a group of forest animals
Around a watering hole

Chatting about everything
under the Sun

Under a blue sky,  
Bluejays eating blueberries
Then away they fly

When God created man
She devised an ingenious plan
Make man somewhat tough
and a little rough,
make him brave as a lion
Make him strong with a voice
confident enough
To sing a rock ballad,
A country song
Opera,
and a gospel hymn
Then God molded him
and sculpted him
and threaded streams of blood
through his veins
And when God saw
what a magnificent creation
she had made
She was more than
well pleased
So gently as a summer's breeze
God whispered
in man's ear,
Breathe and come to life
my handsome creation,
For I alone
have created everything
for you
and so man came to life
gazed upon the earth
and heavens
wrote a stunning poem of love
For both God and woman
Thus Man had become a poet
★★★

★★★
When God created woman
He came up with a well devised plan
Make woman super special
Gentle as a dove
And like a silky rose petal
with a heart for love
Make each woman
unique in her defined beauty,
Like mother earth with curves
to soothe a man's nerves
Make woman
kind with a voice divine
So like an angel of heaven
Her songs of love
will carry notes high
Then God went to work
molding her and sculpting her
and threading red streams
of life giving  blood
through her veins
And when he was finished
God smiled quite pleasantly
And thought,
What a masterpiece I have created
God then whispered in her soul
Come to life my beautiful creation
For I have created
A universe of stars for you
And so woman shone brightly
When she came to life
Like those stars God created
She stretched and sighed,
and thus woman
became poetry
For she sang praises of love
for both God and Man

Some nights I peel off my face and hang up my despair. I paint on a new face maybe even draw a big smile, then I take some pictures and share some superficial giggles. When the fakeness fades, I come back home- I throw on my raw face, wear my comfy despair, and sit and sob for hours
