Randy McClave Poems

One true fact that I will confess
Which is about me and having an ex,
The problems that I have now or in my future or the past
Them all now, I can all happily recast;
...

I am not housebroken and I will always bite the vet
Never has been spoken by any adopted pet;
I will always bark and bark, as I patrol my new house at night
So beware all intruders! I am ready to protect and fight.
...

'If' is the greatest word in the English language
It is the tomato to a hungry writers sandwich,
That word alone creates multiple wishes and dreams
'If' words were our clothing, 'if' would be the seams.
...

First, all we want is to survive,
Thirst then overcomes us so we thrive.

Second, comes the need and then the desire,
...

If I did not write to empty my mind
Peace and tranquility I could never find,
My head would explode and I would go mad
As I would lose all prose and thoughts that I once had.
...

I will not plant a flower because I know that it will die
I will not have another relationship because I hate to say goodbye,
Though the nature of man is love, and with him beauty to surround 
But, for me to anyone or anything never again will I ever be bound.
...

Upon his master's grave he will now rest
No longer does he sleep upon his master's chest,
Bobby closed his eyes and then he went to sleep
But, don't you weep, don't you weep;
...

If you love me, just love me
But, love me for whom I am,
Don't love me for the person you want me to be
But, love me for what you see, as that is who I am;
...

To my mother and to all accord
It is awful to share a birthday with the Lord,
Though the month is the same and not on the 25th
Only on Christmas day, do I ever get my birthday and Christmas gift;
...

The miner will go inside a deep dark hole
And that is where he mines and extracts the coal,
He digs into the earth, where coal was given birth
But, someday soon I swear, the earth will take her toll.
...
