The Rap

       I love my poetry and I will say
It time after time after time
I know poetry doesn’t have to include
It but I have respect for the rhyme

There’s a certain element you get
When you hear it in the song
And it can be quite beautiful even if
It’s about a good love gone wrong

I know that I’m not Shakespeare
So I just take the advice of KISS
Keep it simple stupid so that’s why
I write my poetry like this

Though I say to each his own
I question the beauties cost
When the artist can take happy birthday
And it sounds intimidating and it’s lost

There’s nothing about it that is good
It just sounds like horrible crap
Go ahead and call me old fashioned
But I say **** The Rap

I Cheer,
     For less Fear,
           In the coming Year.

its not very nice when lonelieness creeps in
how do you make it go where do you begin
how can you replace the love you always knew
when the angels came and took your love from you

now your world is grey empty and so bare
when all you ever wanted is no longer there
everything around you is just an empty space
and the world outside you can no longer face

you must  use your faith with your will and hope
these  are things that matter they will help you cope
time will help the healing. time is on your side
help to fix the lonlieness and the love denied

Those who have, lived the pain,
       Most qualified, to explain.
