Poetry Collection

I have always enjoyed the poetry of Carl Sandburg and Pablo Neruda.  Over the past many years, I have written a few poems.  Most are pretty sappy.  The last one was inspired by reading Edgar Allan Poe.  Here are two of them...


I SELDOM SAY I LOVE YOU


I seldom say I love you
It’s such an easy thing to say.
Especially when we’re warm and tender
And the world’s so far away.

Three short and simple words
That people say so fast.
No, I’d rather show my love
In ways that‘ll always last.

I’ll tell you that I love you
By the way I hold your hand
And the way I hold you close to me
As we walk along the sand.

And you’ll always know I love you
By the way I treat you
The way I hold you
And the way I care for you.

So when we’re sitting quietly
And those words you’d wish I’d say,
Remember that I’ve said them to you
In a thousand different ways.



 I HATE YOU CLOCK...

I hate you clock
quiet and slow

It's as if you know
the time I must go

You seem to know
when I must die

You hold the knowledge
I wish had I

Yet how can a clock
made of springs and gears

Know something
that won't happen for years.
 
I hate you clo.....................
