Best Going Away Poems

Cheer knows
The way,
Love shows
Each day.


Joy thrills
Each step,
Hope wills
Mind map.


Poise sums
Fond trip,
Faith comes
Glimpse grip.


Grace grooms
Fine feel,
Light blooms
Wise will.


Touch hurls
Bliss here,
Heart swirls
Bright cheer.


Taste zest
Right now,
Know quest
Somehow.


Time moves
So fast,
Chimes groove
The past.


Go forth
With grace,
True north
You trace.


In time
You see,
Lost rhymes
Set free.


Dare be
A man,
True spree
You can.


The end
Must come,
Wise can
Now sum.


The way
You...

I watched him shuffle across the dusty old floor,
You could see the pain with each step as he reached for the door.

I said why don’t you let us get someone to help you with your chores?
Reckon that would probably make it easier on me, that’s...

Life and death bind,
Now don't be blind;
Keep peace of mind,
Seek that you find.


Quest to know flow,
See that you know;
Let fond wit grow,
Sketch your own show.


Love and hate clash,
In an odd dash;
Rise from burnt ash,
Go in a flash.


Face well each fear,
Keep your heart clear;
Feel your mind...

I’m going away for a while
Life seems to have stolen my smile

Some of you I will miss so much
Maybe later we’ll get in touch

In Cyprus my daughter I'll see
T'will bring joy to sorry old me

I won’t have much time to be here
But some of you...

I reckon time
By my children’s ages
My daughter is 30
My son is 25
No, this happened 
A long time ago
Before I met their mother
How many years was that?

They seemed to be missing 
All at once 
Stan from Buffalo, NY
Died on some unknown hill 
In Da Nang 
Little...

GOING AWAY





A NEW LIFE, A FRESH LOOK
NO INVOLVEMENT, NO WORRIES,
JUST SORROW AND LONELINESS.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE…
A NEW START, NOW, SO FAR FROM
WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO BE.
A CHILDHOOD LOVE LOST, BECAUSE
 COUNTRY CAME FIRST.
HANGING OUT ON THE BLOCK, A WAY OUT
A FREE EDUCATION,...

Sorrow cries out as sadness stings,
Teary grief shouts a painful string.


Going away stabs at my heart,
This hurting grabs in bleeding part.


Too much this pain that hurls and swings,
Too much this strain as sorrow flings.


No one can know the pain I feel,
Now sorrow shows what never...

Hard to fight this tide,
With all the time I have to bide,
Maybe life has taken me for a ride,
Where am I to confide?

I wish life could be more simple,
Get away from this place,
To no longer play the part of cripple,
New home; new face....

These days away from all I know
Do well to feed my wailing woe,
For all the dams for my despair
The weight of worry cannot bear,
And break my banks of bravery,
But I know who is saving me;
Each time they swim me to the shore,
I stand up stronger...

Whenever trouble seems to follow you,
when you have days of dismay,
just remember that I am right here;
I am not going away.

Whenever worry starts to overwhelm you,
whenever things are just not okay,
always know that I am right here.
I am not going away.

When the proverbial clouds are...

they came  to share fame
the bell ring someone sing
it was a bumping and stumping
get together in cold weather
the queen was in a dream
could get there  to share
and get it started
not knowing
it was a

The old man sighs:
Thoughts winging by,
Dry tears yet ply,
An unseen cry.


Too much of change:
So out of range,
All seems so strange,
Touch now deranged.


In a sad look:
Watch fatigue nook,
Words in old book,
Bear empty hook.


Here but not here:
In limbo spheres,
Old thoughts endear,
Cause of new fear.


Old age can fling:

Grief hurls sad pains in sudden change;
One drowning tryst that swiftly kills;
Instant refrain of gripping strange;
No more to kiss with sensuous thrill;
Gloom sets the stage for swirling tears.
Awkward this feel of stormy rain;
Wet teary page that fling harsh fear;
Abrupt goodwill attends grim pain;
Yes death is...

For I love you so
I feel in my heart and 
in my throat
tugging at the roots of my soul -- oh!

I've never been good at articulating 
how I feel
original thinking 
never came naturally
but now I look at you and I see
myself, in what I've 
seen...
