PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Please see me for who I want to be.

Who I am has never added up.

Please understand the love I'd like to share,

But do not ignore the chimes of freedom.

I have a soul of hamburger meat, I've

Been around a few times,

But I still have spirit.

And if you come here, as lover or friend,

Do not be so quick to judge.

Let go of your preconceived notions

And walk through my door.

I am begging you, bring all that you know.

And I will give you what I know,

And in that sharing we will transcend something.

The true definition of a man
Is the responsibility he holds in his hand.

And I will grant you, I am hardly a man.

But I am a writer, albeit an amateur,

So let's discuss artists, or, perhaps, freedom.

Let's not forget about God when we make our conversations bright.

Let's not forget service, or love, or even death.

But, basically, let's honestly love and speak truths

Rather than pass by as strangers.

Don't leave that bouquet upon my door.

The one that you bought to say goodbye.

Knock, and we'll make a small civilization

With ideas, dreams, and trust, and

All the better angels of our character.
