Mommy, please don't go away,
I want you here, with me to stay.
My little hand, it needs your touch,
I love you, Mommy, oh so much.
The world feels big, and I feel small,
Without you, Mommy, I might fall.
Your arms are safe, your eyes are kind,
Please, Mommy, leave me behind.
I'll be good, I promise, true,
Just please don't leave-I need you too.
Monday go away,
I do not want to hear you.
Let me sleep in peace today,
it is not your day.
Hear me-Not On A Monday,
I need a three day weekend.
I feel terrible everyday,
It's affecting what I say,
And it won't go away.
I just want to be happy,
But my situation is crappy,
Slap full of issues,
I can't afford tissues.
I misuse this body,
Stress becoming a hobby,
A habit I wish I could quit,
I'm killing my spirit,
Or I sold it for money.
Their dollar earns me a penny,
While they have plenty,
I can't afford any,
Taxes devour hourly,
Every hour misery,
A number in the company.
Maybe it just ran from me,
Feeling terrible constantly,
Instantly ruining my day,
Thoughts Get in my way,
Awful things I start to say,
I wish it would go away,
So I could have some energy,
Release me from poverty,
I AM not their property,
This opportunity is mine,
I should at least feel fine,
For GOD's SAKE!!,
I AM DIVINE!
You say to me, “why don’t you go away?”
“I’m thousands miles away already, as you know
Where to fly from here, where to stay
There’s no direction I can take to go”
“Stay where you are”, you say, “I’ve no concern
About your present life, your past and future
I have a share of troubles on my own
And I don’t want to make my troubles mutual”
“But I just want to help…”- “You always do!
I’m sick of your advising, stupid man!
Don’t talk to me of things you never knew
I deal with serious stuff for now and then!
Think what you will, how bad I am and all
How good are you, how true you are to me
Don’t press me with emotions, its your fault!
You are unreal with your stupid fantasy…”
“Why you’re boycotting me, what have I done,
For what did I deserve such attitude?” -
“This is your favorite question, you’ve done none!
You just get on my nerves, this makes me rude!
But this is me, its useless to explain
Just take it as it comes, or go away!
Go write another poem – pretty lame
Your poems are, but you keep writing anyway”.
The Democrats in disarray
Say Old Joe will go away
And socialism is at stake,
But can Kamala bake the cake
To make the braying donkeys stay?
Rain, rain where are you going?
When I said to go away,
My childishness was showing.
Will you stay another day?
It's a silly childhood rhyme
Which does bely my heart.
To so implore you was a crime.
I truly love you - don't depart.
Pound me with thunderous lighting.
Hold me in your raging storm.
Caress me, your wet grip tightening,
With your streamline raindrop form.
Forget those unkind words I said.
I'll love you more than my own blood,
Until each drop has all been bled,
Until I drown beneath your flood.
Come for me my sweetheart true
Let me go away with you
To someplace warm with climate fair
Pink coral sand, fresh ocean air
Where music plays all day and night
Where sunset's rays are colored bright
And last for hours while you and me
On a yellow blanket by the sea
Drink a toast of Veuve Clicquot
While somewhere far away there's snow
Should I care? Would you? Not I
I'll be looking at the sky
And getting lost inside the thought
We're here! My dream's no longer sought
This wanting heart received its cure
I'll pinch myself just to be sure
For every teardrop that I cried
For every glimpse of you espied
For every love song that I heard
For every time unspoken word
Recordings for you I had done
Telling you that you're the one
I love, and have for many years
I'll cry again, but happy tears
Inspired by the song "Why Don't You Stay" of Glenn Hughes
In twilight meadow you walk alone
Scarlet sky touches you in the horizon
There I’ll wait for you to come to me
My heart in the crimson cloud you’ll see
There you won’t be alone, won’t be lonely.
On the dry desert dunes you walk thirsty
Beyond the mirage an oasis you’ll find in me
I’ll wait for you to come to its shore free
My heart reflected in the lake you’ll see
There you won’t be alone, won’t be lonely.
On moonlit blue beach you walk alone
Pearls on your feet the waves have thrown
There I’ll wait for you to come to me
My heart’s rhythm in rolling sea you’ll see
There you won’t be alone, won’t be lonely.
When love will surge like a stream in you
Compose a charming lyric of life new
I’ll sing the song for you when you come to me
Your heart will float on waves of my melody
There you won’t be alone, won’t be lonely.
In my heart you’ll find your luring way
Don’t go away, don’t ever go away…
There’s a place for everything,
Or so they say,
Now, please find yours,
And go away.
Rain, rain, oh misty rain,
wash again another plane.
Rain, rain, hit some roofs,
flow in drains,
wash again another pain.
Rain, rain, never go away,
never leave me here,
just stay.
Stay with me,
for another day.
You left me in scars
That will never go away.
Memories that
haunt me forever.
I will never forget
What you did to me.
And now you walk around
Like you didn't do anything.
And it was all me.
Like you didn't destroy
Two lives with your pride and ego.
Leaving me in pieces breaking.
While you went back to your lives
Like nothing happened.
Not feeling any remorse
For what you did to me or
The two lives you destroyed.
Rain rain go away come back another day
sun sun dazzle me as I take a peek and see
rabbits hares and cottontails, Hurray Hurray!
Rain rain go away come back another day
in the forest lives a fae
when it rains she starts to flee
Rain rain go away come back another day
sun sun dazzle me as I take a peek and see
If you write everyday
sometimes you get lucky
As words come together
and thoughts go away
The feelings take over
as silence retraces
What memory has bartered
—your fortune to say
(The New Room: June, 2023)
I let him go away
choice amidst divine ray
never causing delay
but bringing blessings' tray
as heart decides to stay
abiding in God's way.
I let such go away
chance for future great yea
yet asserting loud nay
while earnest soul did pray
for blest favor each day...
now, "thanks, Lord" I say.
I let it go away
claim toward stardom quay
devoid of regrets' prey
as faith fought carnal clay
with love and mercies' pay
upon Christ's triumph today.
I let them go away
cause those would lead astray
neither white, black; but gray...
at present, I'm okay
victorious, come what may
with Saviour's grace-display.
*Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

Rain, rain, don't go away
Come back again soon, okay?
I want to stay inside and read all day
Come back again, for a while: stay
Rain, rain, is what my garden needs
After my work making it bereft of weeds
Now it's time to grow the forget-me-not seeds
I hope St. Isidore the Farmer intercedes
