Paul Gomez Poems

The roar of the crowd, the thundering in my ear.
Singing the star spangled banner but everyone in sync.
I'll buy a program, some nachos and beer.
The announcers shouting the players names as they skate in the rink.
...

What do you take advantage of each and every day?
What cuddles you and comforts you when you're too sick to play.
When you're tired and need a rest after a long day of work.
What is waiting with open arms and not offended when you burp?
...

I thought I would love you
But I was wrong
I swore that once was enough
And you'd never touch my lips again.
...

I wish you were mine, to share my deepest secrets and dreams.

I do and I say all I can to show you how much I feel for you,
but all my efforts fall on blind eyes and deaf ears.
...

Peace does not come.
It is in the distance.
Over the next hurdle,
never out of reach
...

I want to live it up,
but I can never live it down.
I wanted to touch the sky,
but I'm stuck here on the ground.
...

Motivation escapes my mind
like brilliant colors from the blind.
No discipline in my soul
to make me reach out for my goals.
...

I see myself in the shining light.
Deeply saddened by the site.
I am not alone, but by myself.
In the corner with no one else.
...

I live my life in solitude
Half the time I am destitute

All I want is innocents
...

Listen, I'm not you and your not me
just stick to your business
and let me be
sorry to disappoint you but
...
