Best Take The Rough With The Smooth Poems

Hard is the rock, yet it does roll, beneath the oceans
Swift currents its rough edges become smooth, rounded
But it makes no sound; it is the silence of stone.
Gray is granite, as markers grave marker, yet in times
Harshness the names that speak for a life lost,...

Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.

Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?

Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each other.
House and hearts;
Open doors.

Friends..
Share the mountainous journey,
the struggles, the views.
Friends...

People continuing to show hate
As if they themselves are so great
While the planet continues to rotate

Boy you need a lot more than Colgate
You thought it did, but it carried no weight
Don't make me, or I'll put you in yo place
The evidence will be difficult to...

I will start with using my hand as a guide
And in the end I will open my eyes that I will decide

I consider to do this with one thing in mind
I will close my eyes and will imagine it blind
With no colors or fractionation of...

This thing that they call love can not be measured
it comes to us all whether we want it or not.
Sneaking up it hits us in the eyeballs and
turns our lives around giving us both strength
and at the same it makes our knees bend in weakness.

I had too much to dream last night.
I didn't mean to take you by storm.
I didn't mean to scare you away.
I just had a litllte too much to dream.

I came into the room, you were there
I had to approach you the best way I felt...

I've been around and back again
and now nothing seems the same
I looked at life in such a way
that didn't fit and now I pray
That this new size will slip on right
now my eyes are not shut tight
My mind is clear and my aim is true
You...

I’ve been pumping the handle but it’s spitting out dust.
I grind away my eraser until the ferrule rips the empty page.
In the back of my mind, fragments pile up in a heap of worthless used parts.
Running my hand across every rough surface, every smooth groove,...

So I fell into hell but I lived to tell the tale,
I've got cracks in my shell but cracks will gel,
I disappeared off the radar and richter scale,
and I battled Satan and left his head impaled.

I'm a fighter, a built-in survivor,
warrior wired with a deep...

we can order baby back rib subs as well and get our favorite salads with it
please do not make that face at me....i am going...

Joe Biden and Power

What Biden likes is establishing a sample,
Of all the power there is in each example;
Horror and terror we do feel from power,
We are sure to suffer from hour to hour.

Thoughts in minds appear like lonely cattle;
Son having cancer dying fighting a battle;
Another...

I lost the light of the sky
When you placed a cloud above my head
So dark it blocks out my own shadow
And I cant feel any more which way the wind blows

I feel the chill your placing upon me
Like a spell I wont awake from
Forgetting to...

There are times we have our down moments, 
our moments where we keep to ourselves, 
these times we cry our self to sleep, 
hoping when we wake, 
the thoughts embeded no longer cloud our memory. 

It oftens leaves us week and sometimes to bleek, 
to...

When is a scruff not a scruff ?
When it’s a diamond in the so called rough
When is beauty more than skin deep?
When it shines through all, and you want it to keep.
The rough with the smooth, the scruff with the inner beauty
A mixture of both...
