Best Hardly Poems

You thought, you broke my heart when you walked out
Well old friend, have I got some news for you?
It stung a bit, of that there is no doubt
But honey, I was anything but blue

The day you left, I bought a Cadillac
I bought myself some diamonds...

Stuck in my head,
All of those tears I've shed,
So many times I've bled,
Now you're here in their stead.
Missing your hazel eyes,
As soft as the skies,
I'll think of you tonight;
You're all thats on my mind.
A love like ecstasy;
Who knew It'd set us free?
Others are so soon...

Miss Mae West
Party animal heart in her ample chest
The wily lady a player without reservation
"Come on up and see me" her not so subtle invitation!

When but three months old we sadly passed you to God's eternal care.
His promise of seeing you again one day consoled us in our despair.
What might you have become, dear Mark, had fate not dealt you so?
A doctor, a minister, a teacher?  Alas, that...

Can Hardly Wait

Remember when I did have a delightful dream
About such a smooth running soothing stream;
Drifted down and into river soon started to feed;
Sorted through seeming to fulfill my each need.

God created and designed a miracle only for me
Which was to release my soul and...

DON'T WORRY!
BECAUSE,  WHATEVER YOU MISSED...

THERE'S THIS...AND THIS....AND THIS...
AND THAT...AND THAT...AND THAT....
IN THE PROCESS, YOU MIGHT DROP MY HAND, 
BUT GOD FORBID YOU DROP YOUR PHONE...
THOSE *TONES* WE OWN, WHERE I'VE WITNESSED CRYING! IF MOMENTARILY THROWN...DOWN, PUT DOWN, PLACED DOWN; BUT,...

I hardly know you,
and yet I know you,
for your heart beats,
just as steady as mine.
You breathe the air,
and it fills your lungs,
Just as it fills mine,
with the evidence of life.
I hardly know you,
and yet I know you,
For I see past, 
your emotional mask.
I see you,
for...

how long it had been 
and finally here she was

to my arms she had returned
right where she belongs

my aunt lived in an apartment with a sickly tree next to it
crowded between two other lots in the middle of the city
there were men around and I got to meet my cousins
she was younger than me and he was older and I related
she wanted...

"I look at Uncle Roger as a blessing to our family, for he taught our family to view all people with more humanity." (loosely quoted, paraphrasing what my cousin Sylvia said to me at my dad's funeral this summer)

Here is a picture of my father,...

Excuse me miss...I didn't mean to alarm you 
But I noticed your beauty from a mile away
I stand before you and here to slow ya walk
Maybe we can try to talk...
Compare and contrast our feelings in which 
We can maybe one day make it a...

Now if only myself I could sedate....

Hardly, a Human Being!

Get a hammer and garrote that 
brainchild, 
That demonic smartphone, I propose.
That mutant who seduces you,
With most amorous rings!
Put the sultry siren to rest,
Tune into the real world, as it's
simply the best!

Above all else do not invite family or
best friends over for dinner.
Place the...
