Precious Eyes
they look like
they're flirting
(it isn't right)
but then i
have no claims
on the man
their laughter
innocent or not
discourages me
forcing me to feel
i n s i g n i f i c a n t
perhaps, i protest
too much
but darn it all
those precious eyes
of his did court me
for a while

Precious Love
when i think about
the time we spent together
memories of your precious love
still makes me smile
i have never felt as
loved by any man since
you left this earth for
a higher resting place as
your work down here was done
you were one of the
greatest men i have ever known
you always brought
out the very best in me
showed me there was still
a playful side to me
if you can hear me from above
you know your precious love
is etched in my heart for eternity

Quicksand
with your feet so firmly planted in the quicksand
is it any wonder you're going down fast
did you ask yourself how such a happy man
could be so lonesome with all the friends he has
so you light yourself another cigarette
drink another beer just to try and forget
when the going gets rough and you've had enough
you crawl back into bed and cover up
dear, i wish that i could reach you
there's so much that i could teach you
sometimes i wish i didn't care
what i say just falls on deaf ears
there's no point in getting angry anymore
and i guess i'll go on living anyway
but there's no point in pretending it won't hurt me as you turn around and walk the other way

Romantically Me
i got a lot of
poetic ways
a lot of poetic sayings
i got some real rhymin'
poems
some small and
some real tall
some that really flows
others who knows
some say i live
a poetic life
that's 'cause i
ain't nobody's wife
see, i got married once
but the poor man
didn't stand a chance
as quite truthfully
i was already
married to my pc
driven to write
my poetry
i got poetry
i got lots to pen
still more to see
get inspired even
in my dreams
'cause i eat, sleep
and breathe poetry
'cause i'm living
my dream
i got to be heard
through the written word
it's a need in me
i got to say
if i couldn't write
with passion
i wouldn't write
at all but
what i say i mean
to say and this all
came to me
straight from my heart
a little experimental poetry
it doesn't always rhyme still
it's really real
and most of all
it's romantically me
