Randy McClave Poems

Forgive and forget as I've been told
That query keeps coming to my mind
As 'I forgive' is the easiest words for one to say
But to forget, to me it seems like a crime.
...

Sand beneath my feet
Sky above my head
Looking for the sunset
The sunset I have left,
...

I am an American, I shout
When the flag marches on by,
I am American, and I am proud
As Her glory comes to my eyes.
...

I am not a man
Nor am I just a boy
I am the sailor
Sailing a different voyage.
...

If I had but one last wish
I wander what would that wish be,
Would I wish to be with you
Or would you already be with me.
...

Kentucky is my land
Kentucky is my home,
Kentucky is my heart
Kentucky, is my soul.
...

I felt the blowing of the wind
As it entered my breadth from deep within
It entered my soul, and then wouldn't let go
It is the wind, from whence life begins.
...

A day without you
Is an eternity without living
It is a time without need,
It is a moment without giving.
...

If I don't ever trust again,
It will be because of you,
And if I stay angry more than I want,
That too, will be because of you.
...

To Die Alone

Sometimes I sit and wander,
While other times I walk and ponder
...
