Here's another poem. Again, I put the disclaimer on these, that I wrote them long ago, and some are not very complex in their content and/or context.

Also, some were written as jokes. Others were written straight from the heart and represent how I was feeling at the time. I'll let you sort all that out.

Baba Ganoush, OUT!

Please Forgive Me

I am so sorry for all that I have done to you. Can you please forgive me?
You were always the lucky one of the group. Everyone always admired you.
So many times, you were in the perfect position. Nothing could go wrong.
But it did, and I was always there holding the blame. Can you please forgive me?
Your hopes, your dreams, your goals, always within reach. All you had to do was take action.
But I was always the one, who would pull you away. Can you please forgive me?
So many people that cared, were always on your side. Everywhere you went, someone knew your name.
But you left it up to me, and now most are gone. Can you please forgive me?
Your future was wide open. Like piece of clay, which could take any shape.
You put that clay in my hands, and I let you down. Can you please forgive me?
I remember, people would tell you that you had beautiful eyes, as they became lost in them.
Now, clouded with tears, all I can see is the tale of the long life you have endured.
Looking into your eyes, I get lost in the pain and disappointment that I have caused.
If I had one dying wish, it could only be, that this reflection of mine would please forgive me!!!

Well, I finally figured out how to extract WordPerfect files into MS Word, which means I now have access to some of the poems I wrote A LONG TIME AGO. Let's just say, I remember them being A LOT better. But, I said I would post them, so here they are.

Reading them now, they seem very juvenile, both in content and context. Just keep in mind that I wrote them when I was just 21 yo. Here are two of them. Here are two basic love sonnets. Very basic, but were meant to be funny.

I'll post my favorite one tomorrow, since these two were so bad. Cute back in the day, but just terrible now. Maybe, I'll at least get a chuckle out of you?

Baba Ganoush - OUT!

Love Sonnet #1

Oh how I love a tender juicy steak.
With corn, peas, and a potato, all on the side.
A thousand miles, I would surely ride
For a well-done steak, that would make you quake.
Where’s my beef, keep that cake.
Grilled, baked, or fried, they’ve all been tried.
As my favorite, grilled and baked are tied.
A hefty weight gain, this will surely make.
I’ll have to go to the SRSC everyday.
I’ll lift, run, and even play basketball.
If I’m still too heavy, I’ll go for a swim.
From this sequence, I’ll never stray.
Eat steak, then exercise, that’s all.
I love to eat steak, it’s just a whim.

Love Sonnet #2

Wow is she beautiful. I think I can
Introduce myself, sooner or later.
I’ll love her forever, never hate her.
She’s perfect with her golden tan.
Tall and slender, she must eat her bran.
It’s that time, we couldn’t be closer,
Kissing and caressing, it can only get better.
Wait, oh my God, my dream girl’s a man.
Up I jumped, I tried to play it off.
I felt weird, a man I had kissed.
I had to leave, I didn’t feel well.
Well, uh, doh, I could only cough.
If this gets out, I’ll be pissed.
I hope she, well he, doesn’t tell.
