Premium MemberTruly 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.

Premium MemberYou 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

Risk all for the
Right cause, while you may not be
Rewarded in the way you expect you might
Realize that the journey was a
Reward in itself. Others my
React negatively to what you are doing, but 
Respond to their critiques with reason

Premium MemberTwin 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

Premium MemberTo 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

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,

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!

Premium MemberA 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
