Randy McClave Poems

I would rather be all alone
Like the moon in a starless night,
Than to ever be with a woman
Full of hatefulness and spite.
...

She contacted me more than once or twice
Always for help or money, never for advice,
And then when I needed with someone to consort
She hid away in her own glass fort;
...

One dollar more
Will make you less poor,
More money for you to hide and store
A dollar extra than what you had before,
...

For our meal we sit down to eat
In front of us is our bread and meat,
We clasp our hands to say a prayer
As we thank God for the food that is there.
...

I am so happy that you are still here my friend
I am so greatly joyful that you're life didn't end,
God and our thoughts were always on your side
So thankful I am, that you didn't commit suicide.
...

The devil came to my back door
As he had come many times before,
But, not for the belongings in my drawer
Or to the promise to make me poor.
...

A scientist once said to God
We too can go where you have trod,
We too can create what you have created
Spoke the scientist, who was very prideful and elated.
...

She asked me the color of her eyes
As though a question for a grand prize,
Answer me quickly she then said
Into her questions I then did re-read;
...

There was this one lost sheep
For which no one did ever weep,
A shepherd and it's flock passed him by
And the Ram pondered to itself, "why".
...

The only unforgivable battle
Is the fight that is not ever fought,
The only unbelievable adventure
Is the destination not ever sought.
...
