George Krokos Poems

Within us is the power to create, preserve and destroy
but which is the power that we all do most employ?
We are all struggling to gain that which we know
will give all the knowledge and strength to show
...

It's now time to say goodbye and bid each other farewell
we may yet see one another again perhaps, who can tell?
The paths of our life often cross over familiar ground
and so in the days of our lives those memories hound.
...

I seem to be happy
in the midst of company.
But by myself, I am always in sadness;
thinking, hoping of, what I know is
...

There's a gaping hole in the heart
a thing that you would not impart;
all the estrangement one does feel
now has a bearing that's so real.
...

What news have you brought me of the beloved?
The anxiety of my heart is so very great in there.
I no longer at all can keep my feelings covered
and the stirrings of my heart are about to flare.
...

When the going gets tough the tough are said to get going
but where they end up is in a place only of their knowing.
Tough people in this world usually get or have their own unique ways
and when they have a sense of purpose accomplish much in their days.
...

Love is very amazing and love is so sweet
but true love is the kind I'd like to meet.
Love is life and with love we should greet
true love can be found even on the street.
...

Hey you there, oh thou drooping rose
what are you trying to disclose?
It seems that time has passed quickly
and left you now looking sickly.
