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.
...

I wasn't stood up again
She showed up for our date, amen,
At the restaurant together we sat and ate
And she was early, and not late.
...

A furry creature ran across my floor
My son climbed a chair, I went out the door,
I waited and I waited before I went back inside
I wanted the mouse to have a chance to escape or hide.
...

I am enamored with a dish
With the pork or the fish,
Topped with an egg
For it my palate does beg.
...

I will never surrender
Nor will I ever give up,
I will always seek victories cup.
When I run my race
...

Once there stood a fortress, a wall
Man, said that it could not ever fall,
Then God told the Israelites to blow a horn
Then the wall fell, and faith was reborn.
...

Should I get married, or should I stay bad
I don't want to give up on all the good things that I have had,
I drink what I want, and I go wherever I want to eat
And there's always another woman waiting for me to meet.
...

To you I wish a Happy Birthday
But, you are no longer here,
So, instead of blowing out a candle
I instead will wipe away another tear.
...
