Ben Bergeth Poems

The Beatles were on to something
when John Lennon wrote 'All You Need is Love.'
Culture preached love, hippies breathed love.
We need to live a life of love.
...

I am a dreamer
like everyone else
but I am not like other dreamers
I dream the possible
...

When I first met you, I saw someone else.
Someone that I have known all my life.
She is lovely,
A beautiful face,
...

My girl of the future
is patiently waiting for a conversation
for the opportunity to see my face
enjoying every waking moment of our talks
...

The humming bird flaps its wings frantically to hover.
The hawk glides in gusts of wind to soar.
The peacock has a majestic tail of colorful feathers.
Ever wonder why?
...

I think I have caught a bug
it's crawling under my skin
I feel it
scratching on the inside
...

The smoke from my burning rag
blows into my face
the smoke burns my eyes
I wipe my eyes clean of the dirty, black rag
...

Halfway conscious, halfway there
My mind drifts from one moment to another
It wanders, it has no purpose
But it does.
...

I'm stepping on your toes
getting to my bus stop
never to see you again
but I'd care less
...

Don't worry, be happy
Simple yet so gosh darn complex
Not worrying seems so easy
Why is it so difficult
...
