Part Of Me...My Poetry

[WolfyOne]

I wrote one for last years reunion, so I thought I'd give it another whirl this year.

Funny, I just looked back at the first one I wrote because I couldn't remember
and it seems I happened on familiar words while writing this one, too.
I seem to be a creature of habit, lol.

For those that can't be there this year, truly plan ahead for next year,
you will not regret it at all...............honest.


Reunion Number 2

Reunion Number 2 will soon be here
All you virgins put away your fear
Just relax and have some fun
Tears will flow when it's almost done
Friendships made for years to come
Love connections even for some
An experience like none before
Get excited about what's in store
Dancing, prancing in leaps and bounds
The DJ spinning many different sounds
After the party parties can be found
Tradition says they will astound
Once you've been to one you'll be back
You'll find the BFP Reunion will never lack
See an old friend and make a new
The hotel in Little Rock has a great view
If indeed you cannot come
Next years reunion will be just as fun

[WolfyOne]

I wiped away the dust and took down the cobwebs
After all, I haven't been here in months
So, it's safe to enter again


Not Always Written In Ink

For many years I've traveled this road
Sometimes carrying a heavy load
Last door closing opened my eyes
Communicating more to my surprise
My words are often written in ink
So I can always go back and rethink
Oral words at times without thought
Said in anger before they're caught
Is not a place I like to go
A part of me I need not show
Learning to think before I spew
Makes for a much nicer view
Next time around I should be ready
To give my all and be rock steady
Opening up will be in place
Sitting to talk face to face
Not always depending on written word
Knowing when my voice needs to be heard
Relationships should not be rough
With open communication to talk about stuff

[WolfyOne]

I wished my words would flow like they once did
Perhaps one day they will
I'm just glad for the days when something inside me says it's time
Get out the pen and paper, let it flow
Today happens to be one of those days



Heart Beats

My heart beats for someone
Another day, another sun
She's out there somewhere
The one who will always care

My heart beats for life
Not one filled with strife
Ready to open that door
Time for me to explore

My heart beats for my friends
With positive energy it sends
As I pray for each of you
Find the strength to make it through

My heart beats for unity
Enough to fill every community
Spread the word for peace to follow
Never again to feel hollow

My heart beats for that better day
When that special someone comes my way
The one who knows they'll never leave
Who gets me and will not deceive

My heart beats for me alone
Continues to show me how much I've grown
Opening up to let others in
Cautiously knowing how long it's been

For those not on my FB, I'm going to re-post this poem I wrote tonight and posted there.
This one is for my brother as the hospital makes him as comfy as he can be
My heart is heavy tonight

Loving Peter

Reality is a funny thing
Sadness is what it can bring
Truth you don't want to hear
Knowing is your greatest fear
Childhood thoughts passing through
In my mind it's a beautiful view
Already missing the boy you were
Emotional journey inside me does stir
The loving father you turned out to be
The person your girls won't grow to see
An empty feeling hard to explain
Writing words to keep sane
Oh how I wish life was always fair
But our plates never hold more than we can bare
My love for you will always be
Whether here on earth or heaven, you'll see
Be strong my brother in your passing day
God will hold you and show you the way
Take comfort in knowing you won't be alone
No longer afraid of what is unknown

[WolfyOne]

Memories

Life more precious than we realize
Yet some of us can only idealize
Enjoying only what money can buy
Material things are in constant supply

Envisioning long ago days of past
Playing outside hoping sunlight will last
Dinner at a table and we can all talk
About how the day went and an evening walk

Sitting on a porch with ice cream on a stick
From the ice cream man as parents let us pick
Catching fireflies and letting them go
After showing our hands aglow

Fast forwarding to children of today
Don't know what's missed by staying in to play
Adventures they will never share
Or even experiencing a double dog dare

As I age those memories appear
If only in my mind as I hold them dear
The next generation will tell their own
To those that follow about how they've grown

[WolfyOne]

I think this will be my last Reunion poem because no matter how hard I try, I can't do better than the very first one I wrote.

Reunion Number 3

Reunion Number 3 just days away
The Peabody a great place to stay
Incredible bonding we all will share
Feelings showing you'll know we care
This reunion the biggest one yet
Will you be ready able and set
For all emotions from happy to sad
Picture perfect memories to be had
How many virgins will make a splash
Who'll be running a 50 yard dash
As we jump from room to room
Cameras appear with a zoom
Capturing each beautiful smile
Along with every clothing style
For all the happy we will bring
And all the drinks we may ka-ching
Eventually it all must end
Happy messages we all will send
The farewell brunch is often hard
With all the tears our vision marred
Until next year we must refrain
Reunion everything we must retain

[WolfyOne]

Being at the reunion, I had a little inspiration and found writing today came easy.
I hope the words continue to flow because I don't like when my mind is blocked for months at a time.


Almost There

From across the room I saw her there
All I could do was stare
Never would I have a chance
So I continue to glance
My mouth would never say
What my pen can portray
My eyes were open wide
Yet I had to decide
Was I ready willing and able
Or still a bit unstable
Am I scared to open up
Like a little unsure pup
My answer came quite quick
As I gave myself a kick
I'm almost to that point
But afaid to disappoint
So for now I'll take me slow
I'm grateful for what I can show
At least I know with time
That mountain I will climb
When I get around that bend
I'll no longer have to pretend
For the day I settle down
Those tears I can drown
Trading in my sad
And all my feeling bad
For the one who's love I feel
It is then I'll know she's real
