Best Go In Poems
We buried our dog, Ding
With her favorite things,
Like our couch, plus our bed
And pillows for our head.
Our carpet she muddled
With dirt and pee puddles,
The window she stared through
To bark at who knows who.
The hedge she sniffed and chewed,
All of our leather shoes,
My truck’s passenger seat,
But not the children’s feet.
Two of our best chickens
She chased like the dickens,
Seven of my wife’s hats,
But not much more than that.
We paid a contractor
Who with a large tractor,
Dug a humongous hole
For our dear doggy’s soul.
And it did our heart good
Though we now sleep on wood;
Without a comforter,
Since we did comfort her.
Ensure that when you walk away
You don't rush into someone new
Just because you are fearful
Of your own company
If you are not at the point
Of loving yourself or
Of being comfortable on your own
How do you expect to be receptive
To new experiences?
You can never share yourself
Completely
If you don't love yourself completely
Don't expect someone else to love all of you
When you carry self doubt and indecision
About yourself within you
Self doubt and loathing
Will be part of your new relationship
Don't start on the back foot
You deserve better
So does your new partner
Clear your head
Heal your heart
Don't go in broken
No one can heal your lack of love for yourself
That is an inside job

sumagi na naman
sa aking kaisipan
ang pangungulila--
sa natamong nakaraan,
sa matatamong kinabukasan,
sa tinatahak na kasalukuyan
pilit na pinipiga ang puso't isipan
sa 'di mawaring kadahilanan--
malamang dahil may gusto ang puso
na ibigkas
'yun nga lang--
dahil ako ay Ako,
hindi ko mawari't maisulat
isang malalim na buntong hininga
isang malalim na paglunok
ng saloobin--
pilit na binabaon,
ginagapos
--ayaw makawala
pigil na pinapalaya
dahil ako ay duwag... .
ito ako ngayon sa kasalukuyan
bukas kaya?
Ganito pa rin ako?

(just want to put this in-- unrelated to the above write, but still)
--outside the kitchen window, hanging on a wire---
a trill that pierces me,
for some reason
I thought all have gone
yet,
that dainty, yellow, bird,
sings again

My mom was a strong woman, and stubborn too,
Yet she had a soft side, between me and you.
That side she would show, when you least expected,
But let me tell you, she was well respected.
Mom was quite unique, and was one of a kind,
She was set in her ways, so keep that in mind.
The youngest of nine, she had gotten her way,
Spoiled by her siblings’, almost every day.
Right out of high school, she had married my dad,
Blessed with three children, plus fifty years they had.
They both were hard workers, in all that they did,
My dad taught himself, from when he was a kid.
My mom was a smoker, for forty-six years,
Some day it would happen, she’d face all her fears.
Lung cancer she had, and inoperable too,
Her time on this earth, would be shortened we knew.
Radiation and Chemo, had done their thing,
Remission set in, tears of joy it did bring.
We would go out at night, to shop and to talk,
I knew she enjoyed, getting out for a walk.
Two years had gone by, after Thanksgiving Day,
Her pain had returned, but was afraid to say.
She’d lie on the couch; it was strength she did lack,
We knew in our hearts, that the cancer came back.
We shared lots of laughter, but many a tear,
I tried to assure her, she’d nothing to fear.
“Please watch over your dad, this one thing I ask.”
“I know it will be, quite a difficult task.”
One morning in March, Hospice called us to say,
You may want to come, for she’s slipping away.
For the night before, mom told me to stay home,
“Be there for your kids, you can call me by phone.”
When we all arrived, for a moment she woke,
Her eyes said it all, not a word had she spoke.
We stayed by her bedside, just holding her hand,
“It’s time to let go mom, we all understand”.
A few days had passed, not ready to let go,
For it had been raining, but letting up slow.
The sun began shining, the clouds disappeared,
Opening the heavens, for mom’s time has neared.
We gathered together, her forehead we kissed,
Whispering so softly, how much she’d be missed.
“Your time has arrived mom, just follow the light”,
She left us so peaceful, she gave up her fight.
It was time to drive home, in the car we got,
Then something had happened, while leaving the lot.
Huge drops of rain falling, it had to be fate.
They were tears of joy; she was at heaven’s gate.
I once saw a bear on the prowl
Who, one night encountered an owl
The owl said "Who"
The Bear answered "Pooh"
I knew something smelled a bit fowl
Called, 'Woman of Shame'
Living life as she knew how
Men secretly desired her,
Women - gossiped; jeered
No one offered true friendship
Not one cared to ask her why.
Stones gathered in hands
The good 'Rabbi' intervened...
He who has no sin, he said,
Please, cast the first stone.
As each one stole away, he turned,
"Go in peace and sin no more".

moon’s tears do not pour
They trail out on top of the water
why do they not go in? asks grandchild
Gram loves it that he thinks she knows everything
Got in my car
went to the market
couldn't go in
no where to park it!

Religious ritual’s call
requires it’s rules we recall,
thereby addressing our mind,
praying in a patterned grind.
Affirmations as belief
offers our soul no relief,
as yet barren without love,
head and heart not hand in glove.
We’re divided in God’s name,
although His message’s the same,
visible as love and light,
shining within all hearts bright.
Inner silence holds the key,
sans anger, lust and envy,
knowing God in-dwells each form,
felt as bliss magnetism warm.
Let us not attempt to cage
God in labels or upstage,
instead choosing to embrace
all souls, for mankind’s one race.
Love apart, what’s there to preach?
Let us widen our heart’s reach.
Shift’s simple, from head to heart,
so that’s where we need to start.
Aum-Amin-Amen

we think of your goodness
your sweet kindness
we think of all the things
you have provide us
you bring peace on this earth
lord we continue to ask
for forgiveness and redemption too
we walk through
the path of faithfulness
if the heart go in that direction
that we are so bless
to recieve your worthiness
we shall only think of your goodness
only because God is able too
It's not the heat
It's the humidity
that makes me sweat
and want to scree
m-at any fool who
approaches me
It clings to my shirt
and my underpants
Colossal red fire ants
(Pause)
inciting me to
rap and rant
in polysyllabic
barnyard chants
I let cuss words go
in falsetto
all the way
to Kokomo --
Indiana, they do flow
then stream on to Mexico
How did you know...
(Grand Finale)
Ratchet up the fire
just one notch higher
I'll breathe my last
in the town of Dyer --
Indiana...
Original song: Go In Peace written by Sam Baker
Go and see what's waiting for you
Go and hear sweet angel's sing
I will come, and I'll be with you
When my time here is through
Then I'll fly above the stars
Away from sorrow, away from pain
To the place my heart longs for
To be with you, with you again
Go on wings of birds or angels
Nevermind,I know you'll fly
Your soul is light, no burdens hold you
Even my arms that held you tight
Like a butterfly you flew
Away from me but to your home
And although I ache to hold you
I have faith, I have hope
So don't look behind you darling
Fly straight and fly true
To strong arms that hold you safer
Then these arms ever could.
And if you do look down at me
From your heights of joy above
Don't be sad , don't be angry
Please forgive this mother's love
Life is interesting to me,
passion, love is like the sea,
the tides go in and out,?
for me so willingly:)
Lovely sounds are ushered in,
and thoughts are gathered,
thick or thin .
A lovely thoughtful girl no sin.
Remember all the good times babe,
and happy be ye in ye made:)
no other love does come this way
4 you i'd paddle in the river styx
with me wrists n ankles strapped to bricks
I recite verse and put storys on the tube,
i talk of older doings before Armstrong hit the moon,
sorry bout me accent but me mouth gets in the way.
and the reverating? laughter was maybe me i say...
Well I guess i do posses the makings of a brawler,
and with the fairer sex perhaps a little crawler,
so come n visit me at least then in your mind,
and passion slips between your thighs ....
oh no no no never mind ....love
Don Johnson
Do not go in the wood,
Do not go when it's night,
Don't you know it's not good,
Don't you know it's not right!
Don't you know someone's there,
Someone howls at the moon,
Don't you care? Do you care?
Do not leave cozy room
For the sake of the beast,
Take a sit, take a break,
Do not pity at least,
Don't be kind for my sake.
Oh, I lie, it's not good,
Yes, again, yes anew,
It's my night, it's my wood,
They are waiting for you.
Oh DON'T GO IN THE BASEMENT child,
Don’t let them in; don’t let them get to you
Keep all the doors that lead downstairs
Double locked, I’m telling you this for your
Own good child, do whatever you gotta do
Just DON'T GO IN THE BASEMENT...
For your basement is a portal to hell
Where demons come-a crawling up from
An old water well and a new one with
Five heads and tails just made his way
From out of the bottomless pit today and
He whispers to outcome child 'cuz I know
A really good game you'd love to play oh
But you must be wise and see through
His disguise, please listen to me and please
Do not turn that key, I know at your age
It’s hard to do what you’re told but if you
Don’t do what you’re told you will surely be
Ripped from the innocence of your precious
Soul oh so...
DON'T GO IN THE BASEMENT child 'cuz
They are there just waiting to hurt you now
So keep all the doors that lead downstairs
Closed and double locked, I’m telling you for
Your own good child, you can do whatever
You wanna do just DON'T, DON’T GO IN THE
BASEMENT!
