Jeff Fleischer Poems

Why do I do the things I do?
Waiting for you in the pouring rain.
Going out of my mind, insane.
Spending on you, my last dime.
...

The robin snatches a twig in its mouth
As it finishes building its nest.
The nightingale sings its sweet music
While the bees pollenate the daisies.
...

The ocean's waves wash up upon the shore.
Children are playing and building sandcastles.
They are different from the castles in the sky.
A fisherman catches an oyster.
...

What am I going to do
When the music stops
And my world comes crashing down?
What am I going to do
...

The watchtower chimes again in the town square.
Counting down the seconds left in my life.
Reminding me of regrets and unfulfilled dreams.
My soul shudders in sheer terror.
...

Reflections in the mirror.
Reflections of time and space.
Reflections in the water.
Reflections in a glass.
...

When I was young boy I was very happy.
I knew little sorrow, mostly joy.
Life was just a simple game,
And I was an innocent child.
...

I never thought I would see the day
That my dad would treat my mom that way.
It happened oh so fast.
Her body ended up in a cast.
...

You lied when you said you would always love me.
You lied when you said I was the only one for you.
You lied when you said we'd never be apart.
You lied when you said I was your destiny.
...

I will never forget you.
You are in my heart.
You are in my soul.
You are in all of my dreams.
...
