Randy McClave Poems

To be honest and true
I wanna marry a woman just like you,
I want one soul to become two
Finally finding a love that I never knew.
...

Don't hate someone
Because someone wants you to hate them,
Don't dislike anyone
Because someone wants you to dislike them.
...

I am not happy
No, I am not,
I lost in a war
That I had valiantly fought,
...

Drugs control my life
But, so does sorrow, worries and strife,
Please don't tell me that I can be sober
As I wait for my life to be over.
...

It's okay to cry when you get hurt
But, then wash your face, your honor don't desert,
Pick yourself up off the floor when you are done
You don't belong there, your life has begun.
...

Sophia do not weep
As you preciously sleep,
Daddy's not far away;
For you to pray.
...

Instead of asking and looking on my search
I instead am going back to church,
It is where all my answers will be found
Indeed it is where I am soulfully bound.
...

I finally ended my soulful search
I found myself a church,
From my face I assuredly removed my smirch
Today, at the Church.
...

I remember what she had said
From a book of philosophy she had read,
Let your beam of happiness be spacious
And always be pleased, and gracious.
...

Do not cry as I lay here dead
Do not sigh as my body lies in its bed,
There is no need for your bereft
I am no longer here, as my soul has left.
...
