Part Of Me...My Poetry

[WolfyOne]

Live To Give, Give To Live

We never know how long we'll live
Or what it is we're supposed to give
How fortunate some of us are
To be able to say we made it this far
Those fallen heroes from our past
Things they taught us meant to last
Unknown are they to the public eye
But when we lost them how we did cry
Molding us for a future bright
Hoping we would see the light
Some of us fell off that track
Some of us managed to get it back
It's up to us to pass that torch
To the little kid sitting on the porch
So when we ask what should we give
Teach the next generation how to live
This circle of life must always flow
Because what we reap depends how we sow
Don't take for granted your time on earth
Leave your mark and show them what you're worth

[WolfyOne]

Years And Miles

When I think of you I come alive
Some of those thoughts help me survive
Another time another place as I go back
Wondering how long I'll walk that track
Years and miles the distance has grown
But our two hearts have always known
About those words we no longer speak
Because neither of us want to be caught weak
Communication we can share
Anything else we don't dare
Mental maps drawn long ago
In my mind sometimes they show
Thankful for the memories I hold
A lost love story that did unfold
I'll take the happy with the sad
For whatever time we once had

[WolfyOne]

Once Upon A Time

Come with me on a magical ride
Where once upon a time I did reside
Younger days when I was carefree
When in my heart no one held the key
Going places meant driving away
Many knew I would never stay
Until the day she entered my life
For the very first time I wanted a wife
I still didn't know how to give my heart
But with what I felt it was a good start
Obstacles of women past
Wouldn't make this relationship last
Too many times she cried in vain
For I had caused her so much pain
Not able to see what she didn't show
Was not helping our relationship grow
The day she left she took with her
The emotions inside me that did stir
What I learned in the end
Is to think about the message I send
I make mistakes and I will not lie
There have been others I really try
Should I ever feel what I did back then
I'd be thinking about a wife all over again

[WolfyOne]

Here's one I wrote in 2006, thought I'd toss it out here, seemed appropriate

~~~~~~ Before When ~~~~~~

Taking this moment before it passes away
Wanting to know it before it becomes yesterday
Before all the tears
And all the fears
When peaceful happy brought a smile
One that lasted over many a mile
When laughter was shared by two
And beauty was still brand new
Before innocence was lost
And heartache was the cost
Wondering where did it go
And can it ever come back to show
Will yesterday become a stat
Is tomorrow also gone like that
When will a future I see
Be ready for more than me

[WolfyOne]

A conversation today finally broke me out of the writers block I've had

Paid In Emotion

I know this woman online
Whom I think is truly devine
Her thoughts on love misplaced
From heartache she has faced
She thinks it's not for her
Those emotions she won't stir
Right now she shares her space
With fur babies she can embrace
Will it always be enough
I think we need other stuff
Imagine no love at all
Perhaps the world would stall
Human touch can do a lot
Remind us loves not forgot
Conversations two can share
Part of showing how we care
Because in past we've been burned
Are lessons that we've learned
Mistakes already made
Was the price we paid
Relationships in any form
With work can weather a storm
If something is meant to be
It'll be there for you to see
You can try and close your heart
But it tells you when it wants to start
Love has a funny way of creeping inside
No matter by what rules we abide

[WolfyOne]

As I started to reread some of my old poetry, this one jumped out at me......
.....made me smile and remember that not everything from days gone by was bad


Feeling Her

Inside her milky white thigh
I rub and she starts to sigh
Knowing where this will go
Everything inside us will show
Moving up to kiss her
Emotions start to stir
Our tongues meet
As they greet
I slowly suck
With any luck
She'll be wet
I can bet
Reaching down to touch
Want it very much
Slide a finger in
I see her grin
Wet beyond belief
What a relief
My mouth moves below
Her juices overflow
My tongue does a dance
She is in a trance
About to explode
Let loose her load
I hear her scream
Then I see her gleam
The afterglow on her face
Our slow sweet embrace

[WolfyOne]

Someday this will happen, when the right one comes along

Take My Hand

Come journey through life with me
I don't have much but my heart can see
All the riches money can't buy
Infectious laughter can get you high
Loving arms that won't let go
Feelings for you that will always show
Reaching out to pull you in
Not a race I have to win
Given freely is my love
With the help of God above
All that's wanted is yet to come
Getting to know you has been awesome
Travel the road that's right for you
It doesn't matter what others view
Take my hand if I'm the one
Because when it's all said and done
I'll still be there by your side
Looking at you with respect and pride
I'll be the one loving you deep
You'll be the one making my heart leap

[WolfyOne]

Guardian Angel

Guardian angel took my hand
All alone I no longer stand
Whenever I feel my world crash in
My guardian angel knows where to begin

Guardian angel helped me breathe
There were others watching me seethe
Helped me through what hurt me most
My guardian angel wouldn't let me roast

Guarian angel watches from afar
Knows sometimes I'll wish on a star
Not all wishes will come true
My guardian angel helps me through

Guardian angel thanks for coming my way
A friendship built always to stay
No one else has helped me as much
My guardian angel we'll always stay in touch

[WolfyOne]

Old Friends

Every time you cross my mind
A silly smile is what I find
Memory of a childhood day
When life was simple and we'd play
How I miss the kids we were
All the commotion we would stir
Never knowing we'd drift apart
Brand new life and a brand new start
Finding our friendship from years of past
This time around it won't go fast
The growing up has already been done
Let's go outside and have some fun
Walk and talk, fill in the blanks
Still alive we give our thanks
Those wild years we never shared
Invincible us we never cared
Wiser with age than in our youth
Tell our stories, tell our truth

[WolfyOne]

I put this in 9 words, but also wanted to add it to my thread
It's for someone I know coming into her own
Hopefully her journey takes her where she needs to be

Her First

You there woman taking a risk
A married woman tsk tsk tsk
Sidelines watching a flame that burns
Fire cracking as she turns
Gallery of pictures play in your head
Kissing her softly will lead to that bed
Naturally you take that chance
Beautiful memories of the last dance
Reality says you won't get the girl
Your thoughts keep saying lets give it a twirl
Finding emotions never felt before
Knowing in the end what is in store
That solo flight is hard to swallow
In the pit of your stomach that feeling of hollow
First woman love is always sweet
The next one after you may find complete

[WolfyOne]

Until The End

Is friendship what we both see
Will our hearts ever be set free
Slowly again we build that trust
For me it certainly is a must
Trust is something to be earned
Last time around I really felt burned
Apology accepted and past put away
Lessons learned I hope they stay
Heart breaking as I understand
It didn't go as you planned
Nothing gained some feelings lost
At least it wasn't at a great cost
Life as we know it will move ahead
No other words about it have to be said
I'm always here to lend an ear
If you want to follow I can steer
No one has to pick up their pace
We have plenty of time and this isn't a race
I'm the friend until the end
Unless another message is what you send

[WolfyOne]

Beyond My Pen

My words on paper say it all
Face to face I often stall
I wish the two would sometime meet
At times I feel complete defeat
On the phone more of the same
Pen and paper my claim to fame
I'm not suave smooth or cool
At times it makes me one big fool
Communication doesn't always come
Not as easy as it does for some
To ride off someday with the girl
Would make this old heart swirl
I've played the part like a movie in my head
Only in my mind I'm the loser instead
Oh how I wish my mouth was a pen
I'd tell the girl she was a ten
I'd tell her what I really feel
But with my pen is how I deal
Some day my pen and the girl might meet
Perhaps that day I'll find complete
For the girl that looks beyond written word
Past my pen I can be heard
I may not say what one wants to hear
But I'd be there for her year after year

[WolfyOne]

~~Within My Heart~~

Time and time agian you come into my mind
Like that long lost treasure I'm waiting to find
Ten years now and you don't go away
In my head and heart you seem to stay
A connection we both know has never changed
Over the years it has been rearranged
Hard as it is when we finally connect
Each other it seems we want to protect
My deepest love is what you were
Emotional ride is what we did stir
Toxic fumes we tried to hide
As we created one hell of a ride
To this day I feel our hurt
All the pain from all the dirt
I'd like to thank you for the dance
The fact you gave me another chance
I've grown a lot since we first met
Your words back then I didn't get
My love for you was oh so strong
Just didn't know then where I belong
Simple life now is what I lead
There's not too much I really need
Making peace today within my heart
I thought with you is where I should start

[WolfyOne]

Those Childhood Days

Where did they go, those childhood days
The ones I miss in so many ways
When life was simple and we had fun
Then sleep would come and day was done
High school my friends was such a blast
We made memories meant to last
All of us, we drifted away
No more time for us to play
As young adults we had so much to prove
Make our niche and find our groove
We really thought we could have it all
Take on the world and never stall
As we age, our parents we become
Words we use were thought once dumb
Lessons we never wanted to learn
Yet they stayed with us so we could return
To the next generation the wisdom we'd burned
Finally realizing the cornerstone we turned

[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

[WolfyOne]

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
