Truly Realize Why
When I someday die,
I'll no longer wonder why
Life flashes in eyes.
I'll then truly realize
Why it was all meant for me.

You Will Realize
When I finally win over your reserved heart,
Promise to never tear delicate thing apart.
When I finally show you how you are mine,
You will realize precisely how I am so fine.
When I finally win over your reluctant mind,
Promise to never make you be in a bind.
When I finally show dimensions of my soul,
You will realize all

Rewarded in the way you expect you might
Realize that the journey was a
Reward in itself. Others my

Twin Sisters
Somedays Loneliness comes alone
Other days with her twin sister
As Emptiness she used to be known
They both sit back and talk in whispers
And they’re invisible, that’s the major nuisance
So you can’t say to them off you go
And they can’t stop talking their nonsence
About the good old times they used to know
And they joke and laugh in

To awaken means to realize one’s own nothingness, that is, to realize one’s
To awaken means to realize one’s own nothingness, that is, to realize one’s complete and absolute helplessness. As long as a man is not horrified at himself, he knows nothing about himself.
Through the labyrinth of my mind, where the shadows of thoughts whisper their secrets,
I float on the waves of melancholy, in a vast ocean

How Much We Are
How Much We Are
As a young man, I thought
How much I was, and how less you are.
As an old man, I think
How less I was, and how much you are.
And as an old man, I realize,
how much we are!

It Could Take You Years To Realize That They Were Never Friends
Come listen to my truest thoughts
Come listen to my truest feelings
Many of my friends
Turned out to be no friends at all!
They fall along the wayside
Because they only wanted to create
A world that they wanted to live in!
You can be friends for long
Yet it could take you
Years to realize that they were never your friends!

A Time To Realize
We went to a friend’s retirement party…celebrating the end
of her long and storied teaching career…
It was a day of mixed emotions…joy and laughter…
a few tears.
Stepping into a retirement party is like stepping into a time machine…
surrounded by memories of not only her first and last year of teaching…
but of all those memories in between.
Former students

When You Realize What You Had
Sometimes the afternoons drag on---
Yesterday was a haze of smoke,
Cigarettes and coffee---
And the radio plays
Jazz---
The air gets blurred sometimes
With cigarette smoke and sax
Thinking of you
Makes the afternoons go by faster
Until they blend into dusk,
And then evening---
Evenings without you
But I don't care
It doesn't matter
It doesn't mean anything to me
It's just that smoke
Gets in my eyes

Realize Would Rise and Surprize
Here goes my Musk and Cat Horn Haiku.
we did realize
cat always early would rise
was such a surprise
cat was quite a catch
should see him as he does scratch
drank water down the hatch
cat was always weird
partner improperly neared
so he disappeared
with cat will comply
many happy days pass by
on him we rely
Now for my Horn Musk Haiku
would see his

Realize Cat Would Early Rise
we did realize
Patrick early he would raise
much to our surprise
(who hard four short thighs)
(has family ties)
(which we would surmise)
(wore a neat disguise)
(hit box after many tries)
(would chase away flies)
(for food often cries)
(both wet eyes always dries)
cat was quite a match
did drink water down the hatch
one had loved to latch
cat was always weird
learned that when his
