Randy McClave Poems

I cried as I stood below the cross
My sadness was created by a great loss,
With drops of blood I was a lost sheep
Without my shepherd, I did weep.
...

I think that it's blasphemous and a shame
When people destroy and kill in God's name,
"God has sent us to kill"! many did roar
"And because of God, we are here now for war".
...

A bracelet that she wears upon her wrist
Instead of a wave, I get a fist,
A happy blessing I asked placed upon the charm
Maybe the monk had mistakenly, thought I said harm.
...

I held the soldier's hand
As he laid dying in a foreign land,
He looked at me with all of his fears
Sadly, there was no woman comforting him with her tears.
...

Please bring me wine in a bottle
I want to drink it until I am more like Aristotle,
Instead of being ignorant, I want to be a philosopher
Maybe then I can forget about my worries, and her.
...

The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They are my spiritual host,
In my thoughts and prayer, my faith is there
To which of my salvation, I proudly boast.
...

Writing poetry is like drinking wine
It must first mature over time,
Sit down as though you're ready to dine
Should it be free verse, or should it all rhyme.
...

She told me that she wasn't skinny
So, she wouldn't be wearing a bikini,
When we took our vacation at the beach
Upon her body, my eyes or no others could feast.
...

Yellow lives matter I do believe
As I now look upon my yard,
When I inhale nature I sneeze, then I breathe;
Because none of God's plants here are barred.
...

He is not my father-in-law anymore
But, when I need help, he's knocking at my door,
He is always there with his helping hands
Happily proving to me where his morality stands.
