Dwayne Bailey Poems

When I was young, I thought as a child,
as I grew my perspective changed;
Now Im cold where I used to be loving;
my priorities have been rearanged.
...

I live in the middle of nowhere,
yes I know its true;
But theres also no polution,
and the skies are always blue.
...

The best things in life are free,
and money cannot buy;
You dont need drugs to enjoy them,
you dont have to be high!
...

You saw my heart, broken on the floor;
You slowly turned and sauntered, heading towordw the door;
You could hear the sound, of my life crashing down on me,
This was a sight you thought, that you just had to see.
...

I am twenty five years of age,
yet I own nothing;
Im broke and live in a dive of a motel,
yet in my heart I sing.
...

Today I had to put my dog down,
old age, arthritic, and sick.
I've had him for fourteen years,
and right now I feel like a big prick.
...

Coming home late,
in the middle of the night,
To a house that is dark,
void of any light;
...

Another day is dawning,
it's the day before Christmas eve;
My daughter rushed down to see her preasents,
placed with love under the christmas tree.
...

I have taken alot of flack,
for the type of poetry I love to write;
Ive taken critisisim for my beleif in God,
and putting Him fore front in my sight.
...

Do'nt tell me you love me,
then turn and walk away;
Dont tell me you love me,
but only for today.
...
