You - are walking
You've - always been walking
Stumbling, half - blinded and dry as the wind
that strafes you and leaves you to lie in the sand
and the wall stretches endless beside you to nowhere
This wall that you've been trying to cross for years
this fence made of fears - no one hears
You - see a door
ah, such a great, open door
You know that your eyes telling lies, still you chance
a shambling run, a ridiculous dance
like a scarecrow that's hung up to dry on a fence pole
and there's a place like vacuum waiting inside you
for you to get through - to the blue
You scent the water
fresh clean grass - food and water
Your breath is turning your brain into dust
your rusty, old engine is ready to bust
You cannot believe it
that they would not trust you
The door is wavering - is that your eyes?
Are they still telling lies?
What are lies?
David Crosby - 1971 - | |

Posted: 8/3/2011 7:56:50 AM | For You All
Don't give up
don't ever give in
Love with all your might
I'll always love you
I'll always be here for you
Don't listen to liars
or the lies that they tell
Help those who need help
Feed those who hunger
Comfort those who mourn
Lay down your life joyfully
Take nothing for yourself
Bury your pride
along with your vanity
Have no concern for yourself
Place no value in material things
Give it all away
Know the joy of a selfless, unselfish life
Make a difference
Be holy and upright in all ways
Forgive and you will be forgiven
Don't waste your precious life and time
on useless, wasteful pursuits
that only bring disappointment and despair
Let Jesus be your guide
not religions that marginalize Him
God will help you
Have fervent trust beyond this world
Your tears are your salvation
Your heartaches I share with you
Give thanks for your blessings
Pray always to be able
to do the right thing
when that moment comes
As Christ said
' I am with you always -
even unto the end of the world'
and I will do my best
to be with you there, too!
I love you - Bill | |

Posted: 8/3/2011 8:21:28 PM | I Have Never
I have never felt
A heaven of joy so rich and wonderful
Like I feel when I'm with you
I have never seen
a finer light from a human being
than the glory I see shine from you
I have never known anyone so perfect
of spirit, character and body
as you are in my entire life
I have never seen
eyes so deep, beautiful and full of love
as your eyes when they meet mine
I have never cared
or ever will care about anyone
the way I care about you
I have never loved
or will ever love anyone
as much as I've come to love you - and I do!

Posted: 8/4/2011 4:37:19 AM | Love
I love you,
not only for what you are,
but what I am when I'm with you.
I love you,
not only for what you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you
for the part of me that you bring out.
I love you
for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart
and passing over all the foolish, weak things
that you can't help dimly seeing there
and for drawing out into the light
all the beautiful belongings that no one else
had looked quite far enough to find.
I love you
because you are helping me to make
out of the lumber of my life,
not a tavern, but a temple;
out of the works of my everyday,
not a reproach, but a song.
I love you,
because you have done more
than any creed could have done to make me good
and more than any faith could have done
to make me happy.
You have done this
without a touch,
without a word,
without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
being a friend means, after all.

Posted: 8/4/2011 3:41:06 PM | In Hopes and Dreams
Here, in our dreams, we live our lives
for love and joys that are born
with the hope of tomorrow
But the wheel of life and time turns
and rainbow dreams fade to gray
then our children are who remain
with these age-old pains and sorrows
Will their lives turn into tomorrows?
Life's living is lost - at the children's cost
- questions -
Would you give all your love
and ask for none in return?
Could you soothe a stranger's heart
while you feel your own burn?
Might you risk your tomorrows
for your brother's concern?
- answers -
Reach out and touch everyone with your heart
and you'll learn, with the greatest of joys,
for all of us, you're a key part
Let Love knock down doors
and faith melt the walls
together, it won't be so hard
Life has so many roads, but together make one
hand in hand, we can make a new start
- resolution -
Let's soar on the wings of sharing love
and start living for each other
We'll make heaven on Earth - not somewhere above
and all the beauty of life we'll discover
sister and brother
hand in hand with each other.

Posted: 8/4/2011 7:49:31 PM | An Awesome Thought
Do you need something awesome to wrap your brain around?
Something to uselessly try to measure
the vastness of God and all His Creation?
Try this -
There are far, far more
galaxies in the universe
than there are grains of sand
on quadrillions of Earths - and that's a vast, vast underestimate !
from the tree-whacked brain of Bill
and to quote Bobby Zimmerman (Bob Dylan)
' I'm a poet,
I know it,
Hope I don't blow it'
Rest & sleep peacefully, little fishes - I'm always here watching over you
More goodies tomorrow morning - I promise | |

Posted: 8/5/2011 6:21:21 AM | Pick a Side ( fried bacon )
Don't vilify,
just identify
all the criminals
who make us cry
Those inhumane types
destined to fry
These renegade wretches
who live half-alive
Just don't let your soul
ever to them be tied
cling tight to the truth
they'll confess they lied
Many stood for us,
for us, many died
many more are imprisoned,
criminals they've defied
Let Love aim your thoughts,
have Love as your guide
Let the chasm between
good and evil be wide
You'll have to choose
you'll have to decide
between right and wrong
you must pick a side
Don't get caught in between
don't be Jekyll and Hyde
don't let your bacon,
like evil, be fried
Get your act together,
this is not a free ride
Let God not accuse you
it was Him you denied.
Uh, oh! A poet who likes his own work is in trouble ( and I liked this one) | |

Posted: 8/5/2011 6:46:30 PM | Love Run ( advise )
Let none suffer
offend no one
with anything
that you have done
Let no one say
of you that way
away from you
that Love will run
So, hurt no one
under the sun
in blackest night
do only right
Don't start a feud
provoke no fight
don't do a wrong
always do right
You'll start to grow
your need to know
you'll lose the strife
and gain your life
You'll hurt no one
you may have fun
and Love from you
will never run. | |

Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy, boogy boo!
We humans and the world
have all had enough of you!
Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy - Exorcise!
Now we're freed from your greed,
from your hate and all your lies.
Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy, boogy - Gone!
Without you, screwing up,
we'll enjoy a brand-new dawn!
Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy, boogy - We!
We, the good, left on Earth,
can control our destiny!
Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy - That's progress!
Now we all will move forward;
move ahead and not regress!
Boo! Boogy Boo!
Boogy, boogy, boogy - Yes!
With the help of the Lord,
we'll clean up this dirty mess!
The demons have been exorcised! | |

Posted: 8/7/2011 5:46:20 AM | Flushing Creeps ( Love So Deep )
Did you once dream
of Love so deep
then got stuck with
some shallow creep?
He promised you
his vows to keep
You laughed, at first,
but now, you weep
You've come to learn
he's a (bleep - bleep)
maybe into
a lake he'll leap
He's lost you now
sorrow he'll reap
just don't move on
to some new creep
Hold out for Love
(and not a creep)
Make sure his vows
to you he'll keep
Be sure your Love
won't fall asleep
He'll fill your heart
with Love so deep. | |

Posted: 8/9/2011 6:01:14 AM | The POF Net ( the best you could get )
Most of the girls
on this site half-way met
have never known love -
can't be caught with a net
They wiggle off hooks
they don't break a sweat
they're great at escape
on this, you can bet!
They scrutinize profiles
they check your assets
they've made up their minds
before you they've met
It's true that I'm poor
but I don't have big depts
I'm honest as hell -
I don't keep secrets
Don't throw water on me
don't get me all wet
I'm not through with you
we're not all done yet
I'm loyal and faithful -
on this, my heart's set
I, possibly, might be
the best you could get ( in the POF net )
LOL - please laugh with me - Bill | |

Fellow ' Poets' ( free advise )
My fellow 'poets'
(and I'll try to be nice)
Go try something else;
maybe like growing rice.
Or, develop some rhythm
would be my advise.
Then, try not repeating
your verse more than twice.
And here's something else,
just to add some spice;
the same number of syllables
or close would be nice.
Oh, and just one more thing
(still trying to be nice)
learn the meaning of rhyme -
or be quiet as mice!
Ahhhhh! I feel better now (like passing gas)
I've got to stop reading other people's 'poems'.
There should be a test to qualify as a poet!

Posted: 8/10/2011 5:39:03 AM | Since Losing You
Since losing you,
I barely eat;
no love for food,
I hardly sleep.
Exhaustion comes,
I close my eyes;
you haunt my dreams,
I'm hypnotized.
For me, there is
no real, true rest;
another day,
a brutal test.
Since losing you,
I care no more
for things that I
cared for before.
Since losing you,
you as my wife,
I have nothing;
you are my life. | |

Posted: 8/10/2011 2:49:25 PM | Arrogant Anals
Some arrogant types
think that they're so smart;
think that they're so perfect,
they don't need to fart.
Well, no matter how pristine,
no matter how smart,
no matter what you eat,
you'll still always fart!
It doesn't really matter
how much money you spend;
you'll still wipe your butt
after dumping, my friend.
You can be deluded,
you can try to pretend;
but you'll still have to swipe
your anal in the end.

Posted: 8/11/2011 4:44:08 AM | Love and hate
Love leans to the left
hate strains towards the right
Love wants life in peace
hate only wants to fight
Love's light guides our way
in hate, there is no light
do what is good for you
do good in our God's sight
Love, you always encourage
hate, you never incite
Love will never discourage
hate will never do right
Love's gifts flow to heaven
hate won't reach those heights
Love is heaven's beauty
hate won't see those sights
So, always flow to the left
do what you know is right
don't go in hate's darkness
go only in Love's light | |

Posted: 8/12/2011 6:23:46 AM | So High a Cost ( Love lost )
Paying so high
a price in cost
from my soul mate
whose love I've lost
It's far too late
I have been tossed
out of her life
so high a cost
Gone so downhill
we're at the end
once was so dear
now I'm no friend
It's over now
I can't pretend
it will not heal
this love won't mend
Don't know how far
my soul can bend
now on my own
my love must fend
'Till death I'll suffer
this pain that be
still love my wife
but she don't me
Oh, the terrible, terrible pain of deep love lost - Bill | |

Posted: 8/13/2011 4:56:25 AM | Rise or Fall
From Love undeserving
through pain that I grew
unfaithful and disloyal
this false love that I knew
She will have to suffer
and I with her, too
from crimes she's committed
and sins she'll still do
I'll no longer love
this love selfish and small
I'll try through my poems
to give Love to you all
I pray, that like me,
you won't have to fall
that from living hell
you won't have to crawl
Don't let someone evil
reduce you so small
let no sinner pin
your love to their wall
Just keep your heart open
to real Love's true call
angels rise to heaven
sinners, in fire, fall. | |

Be one who is of
gracious gratitude
unlimited height
and wide longitude
Don't ever be mad
after you've been screwed
that nice always is
a good attitude
Always do your best
you need not be rude
just Love every day
you'll find Hope renewed
Hold on, hold out for Love every day - it matters! - Bill | |

Posted: 8/14/2011 6:09:42 AM | Fly High
Feel free today
I think I'll fly
just like a bird
into the sky
I pump my wings
my thoughts reply
my spirit sings
they unify
Blue birds to me
need not apply
the blue I love
waits in the sky
Strain higher now
I'll do my best
I soar creative
myself, I'll test
I won't stay down
like all the rest
low thoughts in me
will not infest
So near to heaven
top edge the sky
won't you join me?
I am so high.
Be flying fish today, all my POF friends - Bill | |

I hope my Love
adheres to you
that paste you'll be
and I'll be glue!
Be, love, sticky
and I'll stick, too
you be the gum
I'll ooze the goo!
I will just say
that I love you
I hope you'll say
you love me, too
Maybe, someday
we'll say 'I do'
our souls together
we'll live life through
Bonded together
one Love, not two -
happy together
in our Love goo!
How about lettin' a little get stuck on you? | |

Posted: 8/14/2011 8:56:50 PM | Emu and You
One thing you learn
about Love that's true
it is as rare
as an emu
And if you care
as well as do
you're rarer still
than that emu
If you'll forgive
your whole life through
you won't end up
like that emu
After all this
good that you do
you won't envy
that extinct emu
But if you stop
the good you do
you'll go extinct
like that emu
With wings of Love
you can say you flew
but there was no flight
or Love emu knew
Better a live fish
than a dead emu
( but that is something
you already knew)

Just want you to know
I need all of you
let my ego show -
you all need me, too!
All I have is words
I'll give them to you
you'll be like my birds
caged in my poem zoo
I hope for that day
I release all of you
but first you must know
what we must go through
Give all of your Love
as I will give you
nothing matters more
of all you can do
I'm not a preacher
standing on a pew
I'll say through my poems
I love all of you.
