Randy McClave Poems

She told me more than a mouthful is just a waste
Larger the size she said takes away from the firmness and the taste,
Smaller and the firmer is the best way for any man to enjoy
But, then I said to her; If you are too small they may think you are a boy.
...

If I did not write to empty my mind
Peace and tranquility I could never find,
My head would explode and I would go mad
As I would lose all prose and thoughts that I once had.
...

I will not plant a flower because I know that it will die
I will not have another relationship because I hate to say goodbye,
Though the nature of man is love, and with him beauty to surround 
But, for me to anyone or anything never again will I ever be bound.

Upon his master's grave he will now rest
No longer does he sleep upon his master's chest,
Bobby closed his eyes and then he went to sleep
But, don't you weep, don't you weep;
...

If you love me, just love me
But, love me for whom I am,
Don't love me for the person you want me to be
But, love me for what you see, as that is who I am;
...

To my mother and to all accord
It is awful to share a birthday with the Lord,
Though the month is the same and not on the 25th
Only on Christmas day, do I ever get my birthday and Christmas gift;
...

The miner will go inside a deep dark hole
And that is where he mines and extracts the coal,
He digs into the earth, where coal was given birth
But, someday soon I swear, the earth will take her toll.
...

Around my neck or upon my wall it will hang
Knowing I then will be sheltered as the angels had sang
I will be protected from evil and all that is un-good
As promised by our savior, when crucified on the dogwood.
...

Though we do not shake hands
But, we might all shed a tear
As we all say goodbye, unto another year.
A year that brought us good times and good fortune
...

I heard a loud sound and it caught my attention
It scared both my dog and cat! Was it thunder I thought?
I then looked out my window the children weren't playing
Was the sound I just heard as I pondered, a loud gun shot;
...
