Randy McClave Poems

Why does my heart keep on beating,
If you are no longer here.

Why does my eyes keep on seeing,
...

As I lie on the grass
In the field upon my back,
At the heavens as I stare,
To remember my love, who now is there.
...

I planted me a flower
Though my friends say a weed
In my garden from a forgotten seed.
So I planted it deep
...

You can scream that you love Christ with all your might
Every Sunday you sit with friends in the very same pews,
You can tell the world your belief with every word you write
And then later, you sing hymns praising the king of the Jews.
...

I asked her again why
Her hair she constantly does dye,
Is she going out to party or to court
No, she said, life is too short.
...

With Jesus would you take a walk
After you had heard him talk,
Speaking to the woman standing at the well
And then a forgiveness to her he did tell.
...

I am so very sorry that I made you cry
Why I did it, I still don't know why,
A man always counts out his worries and fears
And God counts out a woman's tears.
...

Before you make fun of that stranger who is a Mrs or a Mr
Just pretend that they are either your brother or sister,
And before you make fun of any of them
Just pretend that the stranger was either her or him.
...

Why do I need a wife
Why do I need that strife,
Do I need that worry or stress
From the person wearing a skirt or a dress.
...

Most women want to be treated like a Queen
But, then there are those women who wants to be treated mean,
They want to be punched and kicked and belittled and cursed
And they always expect to be treated the worst.
