Randy McClave Poems

Because you say that he does not exist
Doesn't ever make that so,
People will still slit their wrist
Even when believing there is no place to go.
...

Children are playing in their school uniforms
Running, jumping, swinging a child's norms,
Sympathetically you can't tell the poor child from the rich
Because, they are equal, no one knows which is which.
...

I met a woman,
And she opened my eyes
To the clouds and the fireflies,
She, was more than just a woman.
...

You will remember this day; One day!
Until the day that you die,
Like all the other days that have drifted past
The days that I have sat alone, and did cry.
...

It was my birthday and my immediate family forgot
No wishes were given to me, and no presents bought.
There was no birthday cake or ice-cream nowhere for me to eat
And for me looking for non-existence presents, was my son's greatest treat.
...

All that my son will ever think about
Will be the money for him that I have spent,
And for missing that luxury alone he will pout
He won't even pray or care if I am heaven sent.
...

A man's best friend
Is also a woman's favorite companion,
As he keeps her safe and warm every night.
He is her own personal protector
...

No one truly ever knows, if, or where or when
But, something might occur and we won't ever meet again,
Our dreams and our hopes and our fantasies they might not ever mature
Then and only then we will realize, that life is but a quick detour.
...

I know that we are both a decade or so to late
Now I wonder, were you worth the wait,
You are not the same woman as you were way back then
Now you are chased by only me, and not by a company of men.
...

Only in a city of millions
Inside a continent of billions,
With breaths and heartbeats in the trillions
It is where that I have flown.
...
