I didn't really know my father
Until It was far too late
He reached out so many times
To engage me…but I couldn't wait
...
Out of work, Not much of a future
My life seems to be for the birds
Got no specials skills, life’s in the sewer
The only thing I can do is “words”
...
Everything lacks perfection
In the smallest particle there’s a flaw
Imperfection is our protection
Imperfection’s an immutable law
...
True, but little known facts
Our eyes are always the same size from birth
But our nose and our ears ne’er stop growing
...
Love can be a cruel, demanding master
While at the same time be a delicious delight
Can shatter one’s heart as if twas fragile alabaster
evoke sensuous pleasure or vicious bite
...
Each time I first post
a newly written poem
I feel deep regret
that I’ve done it in haste
...
I was never one for my kids to look up to
That's a stone cold fact that I'll always regret
I was never the best dad, for them to hold on to
...
One can’t know happiness
Unless one knows about sadness
One can’t know about pleasure
Without knowing of pain
...
A gentle word on the summer wind
Subtle sigh in forlorn surrender
...
Lazy cat on the windowsill
Watching curiously
The people passing by
...
