Randy McClave Poems

His Tombstone, it still haunts me
Even though I don't know who he was,
I found it while visiting a foreign country
I first wondered why he was there, maybe just because.
...

I go to bed late, but I wake up much later
I read the news and with everyone I have become a debater,
Thoughts enter my mind on what that I should do
But, the answer to that question I have not yet a clue.
...

Back of the house were most secrets are held
Where some parked their cars and the trash cans smelled,
That is where I once saw Mitch kissing little Sally
Back of her house, outside in the alley.
...

Why, did I kill him
What did he ever do to me,
I didn't even know the man
I could had easily just let him be.
...

I hope that in heaven we will meet again
Then we can chat from where we had been,
But, I wonder if God will allow us both in
Especially from our past deeds, and sin.
...

I would rather be stabbed with a rusty kitchen knife
Than to again be married to a cheating wife,
That pain in my body I could easier withstand
Than that of a cheating woman wearing my wedding band.
...

If Cain had a gun instead of a rock
When he slew his brother Abel,
Maybe he would had killed all the animals as well
Then we wouldn't have meat upon our table.
...

If you have never stepped into a boxing ring
Or laced on a pair of leather gloves,
And if you have never waited for the bell to sing
Or walked through the crowds, pushes and the shoves.
...

I say that I have always reckoned
When you had put God first, and me always second,
To him you speak to when your times are at their worst
And of course you should always put our Lord first,
...

Your eyes, are a beautiful disguise
A wild woman I know is locked in your soul,
When they look at me, my soul is free
Only for you have I lost all control.
...
