Murphy Payne Poems

In a field of many
Gathered on a frozen pond
Making the rules
Quacking in unison
...

Fifteen years with the woman I love
And the babies we had together
Waking up every morning with her by my side
And loving her forever
...

I woke up this morning
From holding you all night
As I stroked your hair
You let go a sigh
...

If I cannot touch you
Will you write me today?
‘Cause I feel so lonely
Since you’ve been away
...

We are a nation of diversities
And that’s all right with me
We have fought and died as enemies
In the name of liberty
...

It’s late Friday night
I am ready for bed
As I think about you
Red wine jogs inside my head
...

What can I give to this world of our
To make it better for us all to live
What did I do to contribute to this madness?
Is there still time to change?
...

I fell in love with your so very fast
You never really did believe it
For you have lived, loved and lost
You think I will only deceive you
...

They told me sport cars
And girls would be beautiful
If only I worked in this field
...

You never told me feelings were missing
Words with compassion now I see
You never told me your heart was slowly breaking
I would have done things differently
...
