" POETRY BY YA'LL"
"FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES"
DEDICATED TO ALL OUR FRIENDS
We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In PMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.
The Knight Is A Wanderer
He Has Traveled Many A Road
Friends Lay All Around Him
As He Faces The Unknown
Each New Day Brings Hardship And Sorrow
But Also Brings The Knowledge Of Peace
Peace Of Being In The Company Of Friends
Beautiful Maidens Surround Him
And Knights Of Untold Virtue
His Heart Is Heavy, But He Is Glad
That All He Meets Are Kind
For Though The Hardships Of Life May Press Hard
He Will Always Turn To Those He Respects

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
( This is a favorite of LadyJ's )
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Many years ago, I entered a poetry contest held
by the "World Of Poetry" and won an
Honorable mention with the following poem.
ONE WAY STREET
I can still recall the night you led me to the floor,
We danced with innocence but we only wanted more.
While our bodies softly swayed to the "Boys in the Band",
I could feel the trust between us as you gently squeezed my hand.
You never would concur though the feelings they were there,
You just kept up with your life just like you didn't care.
You always did acknowledge that I had feelings too,
But feelings weren't allowed when it reversed on you.
I fought your feelings hard, the ones she left behind,
It's a path already walked on with shoes that don't fit mine.
I tried to make you see, to make you understand,
I didn't want just half of you...I wanted total man.
All that you could see was a commitment to retract,
When all I ever wanted was a "Secondary Chance".
But I can't make you feel nor try to make you see,
That what you say is love, is just a one way street.
Now your wall's a gettin' taller and my heart's a gettin' weak,
It's a cloud of misconception and a beckon of beliefs.
A wall is what you make it and life is what you see,
But I'd rather live my life without you
Than walk this one way street.

Something tells me
This was meant to be
Your love shines down on me
I know this was meant to be
The way you look at me
I think it is plain to see
You've got a way with me
I know this was meant to be
You will be the first to see
That you are the one for me
When your love shines down on me
I know this was meant to be

DREAM COME TRUE
Every time I think of you
I know my dream has come true
I dream of a love
That was made up above
I love the way you make me feel
This love that I feel inside is real
A love like this is hard to find
You are always on my mind
The touch of your skin
It fills me within
You are so tender and true
I love you
You are my dream come true
