Hello Blue Eyes

Hello Blue Eyes
Good bye heart  
I knew I loved you
Right from the start  
When you looked at me
I could barely breathe  
Hello Blue Eyes  
Good bye heart

Time swiftly passes

Time swiftly passes
and betrays us as it goes
it steals from us our memories 
and our health soon follows
life is short and precious
and time is not our friend
its the enemy that stalks us
and destroys us in the end

you never hurt the one you love

you never hurt the one you love
because you love them so
and you would do anything
to never see them go

so if you are not sure about
whether you love them or not
just ask yourself could you hurt them
and if not its love you've got

you and me

i think about you all the time
but you never think of me
that's how i know that you and i
could never be a we.

we a word
a pronoun
the union of you and me
but you will never love me
so there will never be a we

there is no we or us or them
a dream that will never be
the reality is
you and i
are only you and me

FRIDAY THE 14TH

Friday the 14th
America stopped to cry
as the innocence of a country
brutally died
the world shed a tear
as evil attacked our schools
there is no place safe
from these psychotic fools
God bless America
and never forget
the twenty little angels
who had not started living yet

thought of the day

POETRY IS A VIEW OF THE WORLD FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE DREAMER WHO TRANSFORMS HIS VISIONS TO WORDS AND PUBLISHES THEM FOR THE WORLD TO SHARE.

Blue Moon

Blue Moon
Why are you so blue?
Did someone break your heart
And leave you?
Do you get lonesome all alone
In the sky?
Do you look down on us
And wish you could drop in
And say Hi?
Is it your beauty
That brings a tear to my eye?
Or is it the blues
That makes me want to cry?
