Randy McClave Poems

I received from her a tender kiss,
That she gently placed upon my lips,
She gave it to me as though to verify,
That she wasn't there to say, “hello”, but to say, “goodbye”,
...

I hear a knock, knock, knocking at my front door,
Which awakens me so very early in the morning;
But, to that announcement I vigorously ignore;
As I take that sound as a bad sign and a warning.
...

No school for today,
There was no school yesterday,
And probably no school for tomorrow;
The children they are all glad,
...

The house of politics it is such a dirty house,
It is not meant for man nor beast not even a tiny mouse,
All the walls are filthy and the floors are covered with grime,
From all the lies and scandals, and maybe a forgotten crime.
...

In the eyes of a fly I am an immortal
I live for years and it lives for just a day
I then kill it, and I give a slight chortle
It should have been faster and flew away,
...

Tonight; let there be peace
Let all killings and violence end
All hate, just let it cease
Instead of a foe, let's be a friend.
...

I own not a rifle or even a gun
As did my father, but not me or my son.

No person or creature, do I ever want to kill
...

The tears of a woman
Which can be used to deceive
The many weak minded man
And the man who will easily believe.
...

I walked towards the ocean
As she began to roll and began to roar
Then she put in in a daze, I remembered today
As I thought of a woman, that I knew once before.
...

I will not throw up my arms
I will never call retreat
I will not turn and run away
From the truth and what I believe.
...
