Randy McClave Poems

He never saw a gun pull back it's own hammer
He said that without hesitation, or a stammer,
Nor has he ever seen a gun pull back its own trigger
He spoke that with determination and proof and vigor.
...

I looked upon his saddened face
Held together with dreams and grace,
No father figure to stand there with
Was needing or wanting a father, just a myth.
...

We dig and dig and turn up the soil
Until we find both coal and oil,
Then it is loaded onto trucks and into tankers
Many will become richer than God, or bankers.
...

As I sit at home in my chair
I think of her as she's not there
Remembering the talks that we held
We thought of no one but ourselves.
...

I came upon a fork in the road
And I didn't know which path to take,
Should I take the path most traveled upon
As that decision I just have to make.
...

I watch the birds as they fly in the sky
On a peaceful and sunny day
I close my eyes and I let out a sigh
How I wish on a wing with them I could stay.
...

I will love you throughout my youth
And through the time that I am old and gray
I will love you and only you,
And that will be my words on my dying day.
...

When my pens are all dried up
And my writing on Earth is done
I will then take off my tarnished crown
And I will hand it off to my son.
...

Of all the greatest deeds
That man has ever conceived
It would be that one deed
That no-one ever did see.
...

As I walk within my home
Room to room I walk alone
Like a nomad I do roam
And everywhere I go I am known.
...
