Poems - "Stupid Love" "Stupid Death by a Sheriff" "Poet of the City" & "Dust," Not So stupid

Silent Love

To love

Love Poem

silently love

is painful

(raw

tender);

you feel like

your always

in a corner.

You want to

approach

or wish you
had...

the silent opposite

the unknowing

opposite.

Still holding

onto

that silent love

holding on,

with both

hands.

You don't

even hear the

noises around

you

(coming in

or going out)!

There you are

with her-,

content

as a bear

with honey;

not even

a word said...

in this

romance.

A flat road

to nowhere!...

Dust!

As I've traveled throughout the world and such

Now being in old age, I don't remember much

Along the way, a few kind and mysterious faces

The rest has turned into shadows and dust!

Poet of the City

(Haiku)

When the city loves you

then, and only then,

will you be written in stone

(as a poet)!

An Old Sheriff (a poem)

The old man sat in his rocker, on his porch,

back in 1906, sixty-six years old, an old sheriff,

from South Carolina. He sat on his porch, he

had put up his guns, retired some; and

out of the blue, came six-cowboys, one day:

one black, two Mexicans, and three gringos,

all totting guns, and tall hats, on horseback.

Before the old man could reach for his

shotgun, behind the door, the six men on

horseback, shot him, right in the heart.

He fell onto the floor and the six men on

horseback, just looked, and looked, and

stared, until they got bored. His wife, Anna,

was trembling tried to nurse him back, but

the old man knew, he was dying, his time was

taxed (unable to breath but a gulp air). And so,

the cowboys, one black, two Mexicans, and three

gringos, just up and road off, left, to who knows where,

and the old man died, and was swiftly buried,

so he wouldn't stink the air, and he left his legacy,

but no one surely cared.
