Best Poems

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY!

You know now, that you have to read the rest of my retarded posts.

CHEESE and BOLOGNA!

Sarah I liked that Missing Person True Serch poem.. touched me very much.

I changed my poem just to tell you

YOU'RE GETTING THERE.......

All.....most...............there...........

oops! i didnt realize i entered it 2 times! umm use the goodbye one. im sry!:( i had no clue. im kinda retarded sometimes:P

Haha, stopped you again!

I'm one persistant li'l SOB, no?

KEEP MOVING, YOU'RE SO CLOSE!

Mommy, when will it end?

(Soon to be the title of my upcoming book - also, taken from a factual situation involving my daughter, Brianna)

Custody of Brianna is what they
are fighting for
My Mommy moved away and that opened this door

Mommy wants you, Daddy wants you
Yet all this mess just makes me blue

I put on my brave,
at one time innocent face
Then ask Mommy each visit for an update on the case

I tell Mommy my feelings, my fears, then patiently wait
For Mommy and Daddy to close the narrow gate

I have been told the gate is wide enough for only two
I wonder every moment...
Who will I get to walk with all the way through?

Daddy always says I am doing really great
I am busy, I am happy, because I have a full plate

Can he not see the hidden sadness I hide so well?
I know what he needs to see, so I am sure not to tell

Do I love him, enjoy our big home, and all that I receive?
I do, I do, yet to think that is all I need is only to deceive

I tell Mommy it is fun to have all the things they always buy for me
I just want these things when I come up for a visit, just give me a key

I am off to visit Mommy as I pack for my plane trip
I am nervous, anxious, yet no one would know, I would rather bite my lip

Daddy says be brave, be big, it is no big deal
I wonder yet do not ask, if you were 7, how would you feel?

So I will be happy and pretend that Daddy is all I need
He programs me well, yet it is all out of greed

At one time he asked me if I were able, whom would I choose?
He did not listen because he does not want to loose

I now pretend I would rather stay with him so he does not get sad
Mommy, do not tell Daddy I said that... I do not want him to be mad

I will keep being brave, let Daddy think I need only him and all money has to offer
When I go to sleep at night, I want to be heard but cry as I continue to suffer

Daddy says mommy treats me like a baby, he tells me I need to know it all
All the drama and negative moments between their phone calls

If being a big girl means hearing Daddy talk bad about my Mommy
I would rather go back to that innocent little girl that Mommy said would always be her baby

Mommy does not do that; she allows me to love Daddy, as I know
It is refreshing and painless and allows me to feel free to glow

Please soften your heart, let go of your ego
You know in your heart where I want to go

Mommy will never keep me from you
You how much that is true

She has proven she loves me and lets me be me
Free to share all emotions I am, even when it is painful for her to see

Can I walk through that gate now and hold mommys hand?
Once we get through, can we play in the sand?

~ The Citizen of Samaria ~

He obviously suffered a sound beating.
I look around for another Samaritan
and finding none, gently rouse him
to a seating position against
the pocked and brickle stone.

"Thank you" he works, barely succeeding
through splitting and fruit-ripened lips.
"I do appreciate this random kindness"
"Least I can do", I offer in turn,
not entirely certain how to proceed;
His peacock-proud face parades in full bloom,
it's unclear how much more he can deal with tonight.
I hunch down beside him.

"Did you manage to see who did this to you?"
Seems most appropriate, after consulting
his red jelly-bean teeth and bulging contusion;
An inquiry of health would be utterly redundant.

A shake in response, and soon followed by
a piercing squint and wince.
He touches the new foreign shape on his head,
with the same tending fingers that hold eggs up to light.
I fear it will hatch, and scramble to leave.

"Just sit tight, and I'll get you some help."
In quick regression to youth,
his eyes start to shine as I rise.
Who knew that folds
of creased leather could bind
so much more than one man's earnings and credit;
With a soft plop, his wallet then fell
from my jacket, to the pavement between us.

This is getting tiring.....
