Ron Derby Poem
I left you out in the winter
watched you shiver from the cold
beauty silently fading
soon you turned the withered rose
Tears freezing as they flowed
for my love you pleaded
a face of pain and desperation
your cries I left unheeded
Now my conscience is never ending
how could i have been so cruel
my flower of beauty
I truly put an end to you

Ron Derby Poem
Sounding in the distance
I hear the midnight moon
cutting through the darkness
A new day arriving soon
With a suitcase full of dreams
I anxiously await
A beacon of hope is coming fast
for the midnight moon is never late
All aboard is the call
I feel my spirit rejoice
time to ride the midnight moon
to the destination of my choice

Ron Derby Poem
Two leaves dancing on a breeze
floating without a care
suddenly tangled up in passion
hearts soaring through the air
brief is the encounter
this meeting of pure chance
together tumbling in the wind
swept up in a gust of romance
fondly touching then sadly drifting apart
sailing on a whisper there separate ways
two leaves dancing on a breeze
with a memory of love on a fine fall day

Ron Derby Poem
I love you like the springtime
always a welcome sight
the touch of your heart
warms my winters night
good fortune shines upon me
for some never feel a sunrise in love
waking in a sweet embrace
with a glimpse of heaven up above
truly I am grateful
for every radiant morning light
I love you like the springtime
always a welcome sight

Ron Derby Poem
As the grinning Randal Patrick McMurphy
he was at his best
with an unconquerable spirit
flying over the cuckoo's nest
smiling down the halls of insanity
spreading hope and desire
stirring the hearts of men
who long ago lost the fire
Matching his wits day to day
with the tyrannical nurse Ratchet
would prove his waterloo
for to his head she would wield her hatchet
though the claw of conformity steals McMurphy's grin
sadly to the jealous thief
to his memory the symbolic sink is majestically ripped from the floor
with an unconquerable spirit
escapes his friend the Chief

Ron Derby Poem
enjoying the sensation
thought I was in control
so powerful I felt
while pleasantly she rolled
to late before I realized
no longer could I steer
for now she owned my spirit
this journey I began to fear
my destination
I could not venture a prediction
for I was aboard a runaway train
fueled by my addiction

Ron Derby Poem
while the moon was awake
so warm was the night
with thoughts of love
we now await the morning light
our hearts smiling together
gently do we embrace
with thoughts of love
a new day we long to taste
the passion we shared
now a sweet memory
with thoughts of love
the sun is rising for you and me

Ron Derby Poem
got a basic sense of decency
willing to lend a helping hand
a kindness in his heart
for principles he'll make a stand
rich he'll never be
money doesn't mean that much
tries to keep his faith
with the lord he stays in touch
he's not in any history book
was never in the plan
but leaves his mark none the less
just the average man

Ron Derby Poem
he taught me honesty
to bend the facts one should never
for the twist eventually leads to lies
then lost will be the truth
content I would be never
for with each untruth a soul slowly dies
until in death I would be viewed a liar
to dwell in misery forever
for eternity a dishonest man cries
