What More Is There To Do
What More Is There To Do
What more is there to do
What more is there to say
At times poetry seems
Like it is mere child's play

You Scare Me
You Scare Me (This one is written for and about poetry. It is not meant to or for any person in general)
You scare me
More than you'll ever know
That is why
I feel that I must go

I Will Miss All Of You
I Will Miss All Of You
I have grown weary
Of writing poetry ‘til dawn
I don't think that you all will miss me
When I am finally gone
Poetry is my love
And I will miss her much
But when it comes to poems
I have written a bunch
I will miss all of you
Whom I call my friends
If it were not for you all
I would never have picked up my pens
Maybe one day I will come back
To play with you all with our words
For there will always be the many
Who think that our poetry is for the birds

Writing Poetry Is A Cosmic Trip (Italian Sonnet)
Writing Poetry Is A Cosmic Trip (Italian Sonnet)
Writing poetry is a cosmic trip
There are infinite possibilities
Its like sailing a ship upon the seas
You never know what will roll off your lip
There are times you have to shoot from the hip
It's easy to write about birds and bees
Its hard when you write about ticks and fleas
People want to read what's modern and hip
Most cultures change as time goes rolling by
The arts are constantly evolving too
The artist must always be flexible
He must be like the fox cunning and sly
A poet is a master of word cull
He should not think can I he must just do

We Always Knew (Free Verse)
We Always Knew (Free Verse)
You know what I was like
Before I started taking meds
I’d fly off the handle
And wish everyone was dead
But I had a fire
I do not have now
I could spit out a poem
Though I did not know how
We always knew
We had each others hearts
But we’d pull out our knives
Just to cut them apart
At times I wish
I still felt that anger
Although I know
At times I was a danger
So maybe its best
That I keep taking my pills
And just maybe some day
We’ll experience life’s thrills

Until Then My Love (Free Verse)
Until Then My Love (Free Verse)
I hope that we meet
In a not so distant life
Where you and I
Are husband and wife
One where we meet
In our youth
Where we grow up together
In which we are couth
We may only hope
We may even pray
That sooner or later
Will come that day
Until then my love
I just want you to know
I can only wish
That you were my beau
P.s. I tried to write this poem from a woman's view. I tried to place
myself in a woman's shoes. There are times that I try to do this in some
of my poetry. I am not sure if I do a good job or not, but I do like to try it
every now and then. If you want to look at this poem through the eyes
of a hopeless romantic guy, you can change the last word beau to bow.

We Grew Up So Fast (Free Verse)
We Grew Up So Fast
My love do you remember
When we were in school
You were the debutant
And I was the fool
You were in the in crowd
I an outcast
But when we would talk
I wanted it to last
Oh how times have changed
We grew up so fast
Things are not so simple
As they were in the past
I knew I loved you
From the first day we met
One day we’ll be together
This is a sure bet
Until that day dawns
I will be here alone
Longing for your companionship
Without talking on phones

That's My About The Poet
I guess that one should not take
The Bible literally
I choked for lionesses
As in the book of Daniel
I ended up in prison
Then I even went naked
As they say Isaiah did (I believe it was Isaiah, not positive)
That one landed me in jail
I once stated I was God
One of poetry at least
It's hard living on the edge
Though there's times of clarity
They say that I'm bipolar
Also schizoaffective
I'm not sure what all that means
Or even if they're spelled right
I guess I'm no young lion
And not much of a poet
I just thought that you should know
That's straight from the horse's mouth
If you can not accept this
I guess we will never be
As my Shaki once sang out
'You'll be there and I'll be here
And that's the deal my dear' so
Much for my lionesses
Please don't ask me my I.Q.
I really don't have a clue
Should I talk about my clock
That's my about the poet
Did I scare you all away

You're My Lucero (Quatrain)
The night is my curse
For I can not sleep
All is calm and clear
And my thoughts are deep
You are on my mind
As you always are
You're my Lucero
That is my bright star
I can't help wonder
How on earth you are
I'll always love you
Weather near or far
You are my heart's beat
You will always be
Is it fantasy
Or do you love me
I will shout it out
'Til the day I die
'HOW DO I LOVE THEE'
And that is no lie

Will You Please Stay (Free Verse)
Will You Please Stay (Free Verse)
You stole my heart
And caused me to sway
The love I feel
Will not go away
What have you done
To make me feel this way
To God above
I hope and pray
That you and I
Will be one day
I don’t know what else
I should do or say
Without you near
My life is grey
Everyday I wonder
If you’re okay
While you and I
Live far away
My sanity is tested
As my nerves fray
I hope you don't leave
Will you please stay

Who Believes Strongly In Fate (Quatrain)
Who Believes Strongly In Fate (Quatrain)
I hate you with a passion
I will never fall in love
Have we ever met before
Why do you fit like a glove
You should just get out of here
And leave me here all alone
When you are here I can't breath
Over the years you have grown
I don't think you are my type
I'm really not into guys
But if you were a woman
I would love to hear your sighs
I don't want to break your heart
You just might be my soul mate
Are you that kind of person
Who believes strongly in fate

Wonderful Life
Wonderful Life
I guess that you
Were just a figment
Of my psychotic imagination
A desperate cry
From my aching heart
And my mind
Which had fallen
In love with
Your creativity
As well as you
I guess that I
Was truly insane
In believing
That you too
Had fallen
In love with me
I hope that you
Have a
Wonderful life

What's My Reason For Picking Up A Pen (Italian Sonnet)
What's My Reason For Picking Up A Pen (Italian Sonnet)
What's my reason for picking up a pen
If all has been written throughout all time
There are only so many words that rhyme
Repeating the same themes over again
Much has been written of the life of men
Many of them ring out with the same chime
For they speak of mountains and mankind's climb
And the struggles to overcome our sin
The universe is a marvelous place
Filled with galaxies and more galaxies
There's many wonders in what we call space
I wonder if man will possess their keys
Will aliens accept the human race
Or will they see us as chaff in the breeze

Every Time I Think Of You
Every Time I Think Of You
Every time I think of you
My heart begins to ache
Who knows how much more of this
My broken heart can take
I think of you both night and day
You are even in my dreams
And at times my heart does wonder
Do you even hear my screams
I have always been told that love is
The most beautiful thing in life
Will I ever have enough courage
To ask you will you be my wife
So I thought I would write you this poem
To let you know my life is a mess
Just to ask you if you will marry me
I pray to God that you will say yes

Maybe A Day Will Come
Maybe A Day Will Come
If time were but a test
It would be you
Who'd stand above the rest
This much is true
When I say I love you
Its from my heart
Without you I am blue
I'm torn apart
Maybe a day will come
For us to be
Through time I have grown numb
One day we'll see
Together we'll make one
Along with we
He'll be our shining sun
Just wait and see

I Pulled Out My Shovel (Quatrain)
I Pulled Out My Shovel (Quatrain)
I pulled out my shovel
And dug a little hole
I dug even deeper
Trying to kill a mole
The digging was easy
The hole grew more and more
Then I thought to myself
I should have used my bore
I dug into the den
But the mole wasn't there
It was almost as if
It vanished in mid air
Then I saw a tunnel
It veered off to the right
So I thought to myself
I'd dig into the night
So I kept on digging
Until it petered out
Then I grew quite angry
So I had to shout
I never found that mole
But I did dig a hole
And filled it with a pole
Then formed a grassy knoll
