if it has to have a word
poetry it shall be
for describing all the feelings
going on in me
reflecting all my sorrow
my ambitions too
the love of my children
the hopes for me and you.


short but sweet ..as my grandaughter
wants to use the computer ..lol

In Memory of Darla, Dusty and John Taken to Their Lord April 1,1999

April fools day arrives each year
The calendar turns and brings it here
As the years tick by we miss you more
But talk about you less than we did before
Dusty you would be twenty-one
Your life would be busy and full of fun
Darla you would be twenty-three
I try to imagine - too hard for me
John as the oldest you'd be twenty-four
You had one child and would have had more
Jamassa Derring put a gun to your head
He pulled the trigger and now you are dead
Three life sentences is what he will do
For taking three lives, for killing you
I hope his time will be bitter and hard
Maybe someone will jump him at yard
But we have to put all that anger aside
We're still alive - along for the ride
I keep all three of you close to my heart
Taken too soon, lives ripped apart
One yellow, one blue rose and one pink
When I see them, of you all I think

I am what I am,
and I am what I be.
I am what I am,
and I am what i see.
I am what i am,
and I am what I do.
I am what I am,
and I am you.

Running, running,
round and round.
Cant get my feet to touch the ground.
Trying to find my place,
in this life of maze.
Can you be my path of light?
Help me find a way through the darkest night?
Through this dark and misty haze,
running, running,
round and round.
Help my feet to find the ground.

In shades of autumn she comes to me
beneath the weeping willow tree
her heart bares scars both old and deep
and as we kiss they make her weep

the love we make will colour the skies
so with swallows wings my spirit flies
and looking down I see us two
lying in the morning dew

a cloudy breath escapes your lips
your silken hair through my fingertips
and with this image there'll always be
a part of this day inside of me

Only Music
Posted: 11/29/2005 5:16:37 PM
I get my love
from my music
This is the only way
I've ever received the
love that I need.

Forget the passions of the flesh,
that for which I still much yurn.
It is the essence of
emotion that I truly seek.

How many times
have I been attracted?
And how long does each last?

Music is my one true love;
that for which, I will not part with.
It demands no changes of me,
as willing as I might be.

I get my love
from my music.
As noble that I may strive to be,
and as fate would have it,
music shall be all I need.

"Perfect freedom."

I'm not asking
for commitment
That's nice but it's
not enough for me

I need you to do
what you need to do
I want you to be
who you want to be

Then if everything's
right between us
You may choose
to do it all with me.

Broken Cookies?
Posted: 11/29/2005 7:27:00 PM
"My Cookie Philosophy"

Surround yourself with cookies;
but not the broken kind.
Surround yourself with whole ones
with a heart, a soul, a mind.

Whenever you meet a cookie
with bits all chipped away
be warm and kind and smiling
as you bid him a firm "Good day".

If your friends are broken cookies
crumbs are all you'll find
They're sure to insult your intelligence
and crumble up your mind

They say "Two halves can make a whole"
but with cookies you can't be sure
for the half he lacks may be the half
that you've been looking for.

So, surround yourself with cookies,
the company's always good;
and one is sure to notice you.
This must be understood.

Be a good little cookie.
Be as whole as you can be,
for somewhere there's a wholesome cookie
to make "you" and "him" a "we".

(c) Mike Benstead, 1994

although i wouldn't go so far as to call this a poem, i have a liking for stupid jokes, etc. and i guess i've reached a new low by making others suffer like this but i can't resist. it's intended for a prospective mate and i call it "domestic bliss"
do you know how to make a bed?
do you own a needle and thread?
do you have some pots and pans?
what's that, a rolling pin in your hand?
wait, i was only teasing you!
now my black-eye's turning blue
that's ok, my mistake.
but can i have some chocolate cake?

in the clouds

a circling white, of ancient light
who, with lucid rays of perfect blue
unrolled across a canvas sky
to lay His softest shade on you
while headwinds of a holy kind
blew sweet dreams behind your earthly eyes
love's colors filled your sailing mind
and pushed you through to paradise
beyond the ecstasy of white
above cloud-cover, pristine blue
your gossamer wings unfurled bright
and wet with newborn love you flew
past earth-limits of waking scenes
to play in worlds of dreams come true
you spread His light through prism wings
in rainbow tones of heaven-hue
you were soaring, soaring, soaring high
your head was in the clouds
as love was circling by
...2001sam...

Thank's Chemestry&magic and Alis Kat. The truth is I've had writers block for a few years now (Since my divorce I guess), trying to break it but only hitting a wall.

I loved the cookie poem btw

What the **** am I supposed to do now
was every word a lie
you cast away every word every vow
moving on like we meant nothing
and god the pain you'll allow
a person to endure
it fills my waking and sleeping world
and I just want to cut you so you'll know how
you've ****ed me up now

An Ode to a very bendy woman

The bar was crowded that night
But through the haze I saw
A vision of fire and light
A face I couldn’t ignore

When she got up to dance
The crowd moved to give her room
A blur of limbs and hair
All to the DJ’s rhythmic boom

Before long we were at my pad
And I was charming her with my wit
When she saw my yoga mat
I thought she was having a fit

She had train for 5 long years
Under a yogi called Mystic Pete
Then she lifted up her beer
With just her dainty feet

She reached up over her head
And clasped together both of her hands
Then linked them with her feet
Making her back like an elastic band

The scent from her skin
The hypnotic stare
The way the moonlight reflected
From her long armpit hair

This site was just too much to bear
So I kissed her with passion and charm
With her foot she caressed my hair
And held on to me with her free arm

Now taste forbids me to say
What wonders went on that night
But at one momentous point
She almost gained the power of flight

Ever since that date with Wendy
I have one very simple rule
You only have to be bendy
To get access to my tool

Great writes everyone!! Chem: I couldn't help but think about Cookie Monster when I read your poem hehe. I'm posting this poem because I'm getting ready to leave for our choral concert tonight & it's stuck in my head. If anyone wants to know what this sounds like, message me privately.

"The evening hangs beneath the moon
A silver thread on darkened dune
With closing eyes and resting head
I know that sleep is coming soon

Upon my pillow safe in bed
A thousand pictures fill my head
I cannot sleep my mind's aflight
And yet my limbs seem made of lead

If there are noises in the night
A frightening shadow, flickering light
Then I surrender unto sleep
Where clouds of dream give second sight

What dreams may come both dark and deep
Of flying wings and soaring leap
As I surrender unto sleep...
Sleep..."

Posted: 11/30/2005 7:41:53 PM
With such a sweet smile
you could have any man,
having your hair 'up' just
makes them want you more.

Such a catching figure,
one would never want to let go.
Your poise has us peaking
without a single touch.

An ancient beauty
in one such as you,
a quivering feel of mystic
runs up and down my spine.

Fantasy runs wild,
ecstasy hits,
I'm holding you in my arms.
Stareing up at the ceiling
I emerge from confusion....

...it was just a dream.

lol, just altered a bit on the last stanza and on.
Great writes folks! Luv the cookie! Later Folks!
