Shane Clift Poems

I cried last night, you didn't know.
You haven't a clue how close I am to letting go.
I have tried all I could, done everything I should.
Somethings still missing, yet you don't seem to see how near you are to losing me.
...

(For Justin)

Times change, Love moves on
Hearts are broken but friends are strong.
...

A treasured rose
Worth more than gold
A silver stem
With leaves of platinum
...

I try to reach it but I can't it is flying to high.
I try to leash it but I cannot it is too smart.
I try to catch it but it seems impossible for it is too fast.
I see it fly up above the trees high above the land.
...

I devote my time to life
I desire to be loved
I devote my faith to the heavens
I desire to be free
...

It all seems perfect throughout the night.
To have you close and hold you tight.
Everything will be alright.
What we do may be forbidden.
...

My friends and the ones around me are here but they do not see.
I give and give. I worry and I care.
I reach out but do not understand why no one is there.
The world is selfish blind and simple.
...

(For Nick)

You forgot about me
You forget that I am home
...

Drip dropp cling clang
Do you hear the water drain?
Up from the lakes down from the clouds, hail, snow and rain.
Listen to the water drain.
