you cut me down like an old abandoned tree,
now i shall leave with what is left of me,
Yes

I am not the wisest
nor the faintest
but i have seen the hate and felt the love.

you are different
for you hurt me
and now you see

my heart is not easily changed.
because you cut me down
like that old abandoned tree

now is shall leave with what is left of me.
the person i used to be
yes the one who willingly handed the key

has passed and now is utterly free
when the day of love comes
with its sweet smelling sweets

and its pink cutted hearts
i will sit there
on the hill upon a stump

thinking of how you cut me down
cut me down
just like that old abandoned tree.

A time comes
When things change
Likes drums
At a close range

She becomes lonely
The friends she's lost
The one and only
At a cost

She becomes crossed
With one hope
Exhaust
She can't cope

Feels worthless
She's trying
No purpose
But lying

She's crying, relying
But dying, an' denying

She knows not
Hell she's grown
But she's forgot
She's not alone

One day
This is strange
All that weighs
Will someday change

She will change
As the time flies
Things  rearrange
And she will be wise

She'll rule her kingdom
All beside
In all freedom
No reason to hide

At a close range
Like drums
Things change
As time comes
Inspired by remembrance of a friend of mine whom I have not seen in a couple of years. I figured maybe I should get back into poetry, although I was never as good as they were. They were special to me, and they will always be special to me.

Also tried my hand at rhyming, not sure how well I did, but there was a lot of emotion behind this piece.

Examining the tee from the game that you loved
I imagine your swing and thoughtfully rub
my thumb over imperfections made
of time, spent and gone;
now emptiness so. . . wrong.
I hold it for the ties to you.
Your nearness seeping in faint wisps
into my bones
but they are ghostly tethers.
Sitting in the home
you built. Amid the ruins of years
gladly spent in labor. Fears
gently assuaged and now forgotten
even as you fade.
As the time with you fades.
Your nearness pales,
After all, it is just a tee.
Now my panic fills the moment
as this tether fails
too.
After living with my grandparents for the majority of my life, grade school to grad school currently, they were killed this January. It has been a lonely time as I have to sift through their belongings and keep up this house on my own. Sometimes I pick something up and it just hits me. My grandfather loved golf.

Remind me
again
when the
funeral is.
My suit
needs
to be
dry cleaned
to abolish
moth *****.
Also,
mother gave
up and
drowned
in tissues
lined with
aloe. Thats
all I can
smell above
her coffin.

Life's amazingly beautiful, how it brings change like the spring. The bees buzz and the birds sing.Only to be Swept away by winters cold unforgiving winds. Endure for this too soon ends,  and is left in the past. Bringing yet another beautiful spring, but you'll not soon forget the last.

I think of whatever I create
as a sort of a child

I have no child to carry on
after me so I hope my work
will be held in perpetuaty

"Hush little baby, don't you cry,
mama's here for you only
and tomorrow she will buy
all the pretty little ponies

black and brown
tan and roan
all the pretty little ponies"

lullaby sung by my mother
when I was a child



there I lay
at end of the day
safe in my mother's arms
she had a voice
so soft and low
I succumbed to its charms

I don't remember
her grey eyes
so full of care and pain
I recall her dear soft breast
and those sweet refrains

later on in life I found
she was very ill
mood swings plagued her
all her days
and then they had no pill.

she was not a
stable mom
she was always up or down
but she tried the best she could
when she was around

I won't forget her lilting voice
though she was in despair
she made those ponies
twirl and dance
to show her child

she cared.

My mom has not been feeling well.
If you are of a mind,
please pray for her.

Thanks

You see a golden bear,
holding 3 diamond balloons,
all connected by a thin golden chain,
around my neck.
Its more than that...

Its the thing that holds,
A troubled past
My past.

Holds sorrow
Of the day,
My best friend
Said goodbye...

Not knowing it was,
the last goodbye.

That chain you see,
Is the last thing I have left.
And someday,
I hope I'll know why he left.

I know he's out there somewhere.

I wish he could see how far I've come,
I hope he's proud of who I've become.

Till we are together again best friend.

I miss you Dad...

In silence a black motorcade
the sad and soft parade
heavy hearts the last charade
the last song is finally played
one last curtain call is made
rest in peace shadow and shade


The music is over forever delayed
Turn out the light
turn out
the light
finish
and
fade*

Darling do you remember?
Those shadows, black blotches etched into your mind
They have vanished now
They over clouded your every thought,
Darling they are gone now
