Carl Sandburg

Where was I going? I puzzled and wondered about it til I actually enjoyed the puzzlement and wondering.

Before Action

We always had to do our work at night.
I wondered why we had to be so sly.
I wondered why we couldn't have our fight
Under the open sky.

I wondered why I always felt so cold.
I wondered why the orders seemed so slow,
So slow to come, so whisperingly told,
So whisperingly low.

I wondered if my packing-straps were tight,
And wondered why I wondered……Sound
went wild………
and order came…… I ran into the night,
wondering why I smiled.

The Cord Of Gossamer

The gossamer cord it tightens,

As I try to move away.

Although I love you Eternally,

We can't live day by day.

I puzzled over this anomaly

Down the years that passed so full,

And asked myself, what can I do?

"Nothing" came reply, "just null."

But still I puzzled, beat my brow,

Felt I should do it all.

"No child" you gently chided,

"You're riding for a fall."

Only live your life for you,

Though interlinked you be.

This gauntlet is not yours to run.

Let go your agony.

Though partners through the Universe,

Evolving along with he.

You cannot move his pieces (chess) ,

You have to let him be.

And if he honours his Karma,

Then the choice is yours to live,

But if he should choose to turn away,

Then freedom you must give.

Not just for him my child you said,

As I turned bewildered face.

In puzzlement to you I cried,

But we won't win the race.

Then if that's so my darling one,

Accept it and move on.

For you can't be he as well as you,

For this life at least it must be gone.

Maybe in the lifetimes still to come,

You still could join in pace.

But two it still takes hand in hand.

‘Tis never just one face.

Seeking to Receive

You annoy!
As if it is enjoyed.
A specialty perfected that you do.
And it is not that I am cruel,
Pointing that out to you.
But you do it as if...
It is a gift from you I accept.
With an expectation from you I get.

You annoy!
As if it is by you enjoyed.
And I sit with you wondering...
If it is my patience given,
You wish to see from me...
Leave.
Before you decide,
That's the thrill you came seeking to receive.

Wondering

Orbison/dees
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to say
Wondering, wondering, I wonder what to do
Will your love be true, or will you run away
When you have been alone, without love, all alone
You wonder what youll feel when new love comes along
Is it really real?
Ah . . aaaah . . aaah,
I wonder.
Wondering, wondering, I wonder all the time
Wondering, wondering, are you really mine?
Will your love be true or will I wonder
Till the end of time?

Quiet Kind

I've never really written a poem
no reason to
But today feels like a day for words
the quiet kind
I wondered if i should tell
you know, about me
what i think
i thought about the
snow, and the night when
we were forever
i wondered if you knew
if you saw right through me
if i was a mystery
or if you never even looked
i thought about what comes next
i wondered if you wondered
if there was something
more
or if we just turned to
dust
and nothing is left
but you
but me
i thought about you today.

Surgeries/Revelations/Puzzles/Shelter

White walls and steel gurneys-
Antiseptic fills the air-
Outside the OR in the waiting room-
The night whispers a familys heart-felt prayer;

Moon shines outside in full bloom (The brightest)
Gives light much like a (thousand fireflies) no lie-
Over brother/sisters/friends and others...
While a poet-in life or death surgery wonders why?

Oh the dusk it came way too soon-
News of multiple shut-down was uncomfortable to hear-
Major bridges in need of delicate repair-
Climbing these mountains gives even doctors fear;

Traffic of the OR nurses revolve in and out-
Dressed down in their most crisp brillant white-
An incision is made near the patients left breast and mid chest-
Much worry cries- in the mist of this night;

Many prayers are sent to the above (God Found Her)
In a major (angel winged run) -
For healing complete of heart/kidneys/lungs-
For with God in the end His will be done;

I
Diagnosis: Heart damage from silent MI-
From years of abuse...? ? ?
Abuse of what? has the specialists puzzled...
And the patient wondering...? ? ?

II

Kidney damage from years of abuse-? ? ?
Abuse of what? has the specialist puzzled...
And the patient wondering...? ? ?

III

Lungs given out from heart and kidney damage-? ? ?
From years of abuse of what-? ? ? has the specialists puzzled...
And the patient wondering...? ? ?

(Blood/tissue/ and hair samples) finally tell the whole story...
To the patient and the specialists.........The Answers: 'sinister'
Now out of the hospital and... turned over for investigation;

Be careful what you eat! ! ! Be careful what you drink! ! !
Be careful what you breathe! ! ! Be careful of that skin cream! ! !
Be careful of sadists who lurk in the dark forests bearing knives! ! !


There are: 'wackos out there'.! ! ! Sadistic 'little men' who
Get their jollies off of just this very thing...
Its later than you think! ! !

The nervous system is the next thing on the list to
Be checked...As the Mercury continues to rise here! ! !

Where are you?

When coldrain fell
i wondered
Where are you?
Every dropp that soaked me and....
As you touched me at first

When the wind blew cold
Antartic
I wondered
Where are you?
I as so mild as you got me

When all the beauty hit me
So powerfull
I wondered
Where are you?
I am so wind, so rain and beauty
of when you loved me!

Father I Never Knew

Father I Never Knew

I have searched all my life for you yet I never found you
I have called out your name but you've never answered
For the longest time, I've wonder am I just like you
It's the one thing that has haunted for the longest time
I don't know you but the thought of being like you scares me

For the longest time, I've wondered who I was
Whom I'm destined to become
I've always wondered was I to do the same things that you've done
Was I to do things I'm not proud of and not have a conscience about it
I've looked in many mens eyes wondering if it was you
Tears would fall from my eyes each time I found out my one quest still aludes me

There is a little boy whom I made a promise to long time ago
As a father to his son, I looked him in his eyes and said, 'you would never have to wonder who I am'
He would never carry the pain his father carries with not knowing you.

Any man can father a child but it takes a man to be a father

Good RiDDance

some wondered
why i
smiled so much
at “Bully-Boy’s” funeral
and brought my laughter
to his burial.

as if… i enjoyed
some humorous moment
inside myself
from his early passing.

well… i did.
and i wasn’t the only one.

i was real about my feelings.

if you had known him
like i knew him
you would have known
or questioned
how did he live
so wrong
so long.

six feet
wasn’t even deep enough
“dirt”
for somebody that
“no good.”

especially when… you’re burying trash! ! !

I'm Wondering

Jimmy was your sweetie pie
Your precious one
And I knew you used to love
The very ground he walked upon
One day, Jim's papa told him
Things were looking down
And they packed up everything
They owned and left this little old town
Each tear I dried for you,
The closer our lives grew,
I fell in love it's true
And you say you love me, too
Well, don't you know I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Ooh,Baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby
But, baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
The day you see his face again
Or hear his voice
I don't want to be a loser
If you have to make a choice
Like a puppet to a string
To you, girl, I'm attached
And I know I'd be in trouble
If he came and took you back
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Sure enough, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved Jim?
Ooh Baby
I can't stop loving you, baby,
I can't stop loving you , no
I can't stop loving you, baby
I feel so insecure
In my mind, I
Can picture
Losing you for sure
And the pain I can't endure
Baby, I'm worried,
Really, really worried
I wanna make you happy
Really truly happy
Oh baby I'm wondering,
Little girl, I'm wondering
How can I make you love me
A little more than you loved him?
Oh baby I'm wondering
Little girl, I'm wondering ...

Glance At The Future

I always wondered
What would happen in the future
Somethings in the past
Seems to be like a blur

Always wondering
Would i find love the next day
But when that day came
I stayed the same way

Life is always filled
With alot of surprises
Seeking you future with sins
Is something God despises

Your future lies within the decisions you make.

Renda Writer - Wednesday

I'm floating
Down the river
Wondering
What the river's made up of
What's it a metaphor for?
What's it all for?

The silence is enjoyed
And implied
Relied upon
As a scapegoat

I'm floating
And she's driving

And the old one
Catches wind of the sin
We both cry
And hang up
Knowing we'll speak again Wednesday

Got You On My Mind

By joe thomas & howard biggs
Ive got you on my mind, Im feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
Im wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just dont see why
I cant forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know Id let you.
First verse
Chorus
First verse
Im wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
Im wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
