Best My Way Poems

I Did It My Way


I did it my way, not for the applause but because,
failure was not an option and I became a rebel with a cause.
I wanted higher education and was told I couldn’t have it all,
so I had to prove them wrong even...

And now as I hold her near
I turn and draw the bedroom curtain
She made what she wants so clear 
She's going to get it tonight for certain
I'm to be a raging bull 
and ravish her not in a shy way 
I'm to drive her into...

I stand by the water, a bottle in my hand.
The spirits help me face another day.
Think about my wife and kids and do not understand,
How I walked out and threw it all away.
Look out on still waters, tears fall from my eyes.
Drifting through the promises...

blind minions do not hear
deaf disciples cannot see
callous subzero frozen feelings 
breed gibberish jarring jubilee 

this bloody blind-eyed messiah
rode to town astride an ass
belching barking oratory
for an aimless lower class

a starry-eyed astrologer
alchemist extraordinaire
summoned shrouded quatrains
revealing he baffles with a flare

loitering lotus-eater
puppeteer par excellence
self-indulgent Machiavellian 
pitched...

'Twas a dark and stormy night on that dark and stormy night!
HMS Blunderbuss plied the billowing seas just off the Isle of Wight!
Able Seaman Steer manned the helm when dead ahead he saw the light!
He woke the snoozing Officer of the Deck to apprise him...

You stabbed me in
the back
Took that knife and
did a hack
You could not look
me in the face
My lady you are a
total disgrace

How deep did you dig
that grave
My how those words
became so brave
The hole just became
so deep
 All came crashing
at your feet

The knife it twist
and turned
Even ...

I can’t although I try
to go it all alone
I wish to feel God’s pleasure
but my heart feels like a stone

Jesus patiently waits for me
He doesn’t beg me for my time
I misuse the days God gives me
 believing that they are mine

All my moments yes are...

Darkness is killing my will to fight
The way to climb beyond my scope
Searching for a ray of light
In an oasis called hope

Feel like a stranger in my house
Drying inward from the edge
Climbing like a spider
Got stuck in my own web

The clouds in the sky
Add to...

Lord, he tried to take me
But, you held on tight
I was lost and defeated
But, I still knew wrong from right

I knew what you asked of me
But, I had to do it my way
I ignored your silent whisper
But, the consequences, I had to pay

I was given...

Love, you have given me nothing but pain,
Heartache, sleepless nights and loneliness,
Why do you make me suffer so?
My days are dour and nights grim,
I cannot breathe easy;
Did I do you wrong?
Tell me but once,
Oh, why me?
I ask,
Why?
I, 
who have
loved you so,
I want nothing
of this world's...

They used to come only at night,
And hide way up under the bed,
Tucking their feet clear out of sight,
Ready to angrily pinch my pinky toes red,

D A D D Y!   I’d holler, and scream.
M O M M Y!    I would...

There comes a day
When our time on earth takes us away
Everything in rewind 
Running through your mind
It's all on display 
In the most wonderful way
It all seems to unwind 
Like a movie that you can see 
If you were blind

No time to ask why 
As...

For if my love did come to stay,
In shadows across an empty sky,
I would then light up the way,
So she could land nearby.

Have faith must I in my wishing well,
And flood it with coins every sunny day,
And hope shall I in a magical spell,
Upon shores...

Painting in my art studio is a relief to me 
My breathing changes the minute I sit in my chair. 
Facing a field of snow-covered woods, my body calms down 
Tenseness I did not consider all day is released into the vapor. 
Stress and anxiety...

The metal bed frame is cold against my calf
The blade in my hand is cold too
I am cold
I feel unreal, transparent
Here is the answer
The way to let go and be
Overwhelmed
I’ll make it alright to cry
The blade meets flesh
And I wait for the bite
Something greater than
The...
