Ian Jay Plaza Poem
A crisp, gentle breeze
Lightning flashes, thunder booms
A sweet lullaby

Ian Jay Plaza Poem
Boom, Boom, Kaboom
My heart goes
When I see you
Vroom, Vroom, Zoom
My heart goes
When I leave you

Lone, tall, verdant wobbling leaf
Strong autumn gales come
Immovable, unbending

Ian Jay Plaza Poem
Listen to the thunder of waves
As it heralds the change of tides
It comes day or night, no fixed time
Watch out for the lightning that raves
As it does not choose any side
It strikes like a broken rhyme

To be feared or to be loved
A king contemplates
No right answer can be had

The lonely, falling petal
Dancing in the wind
So uncertain where to fall

Ian Jay Plaza Poem
Murphy's Law
This law simply states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong;
if there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong,
and if anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
Captain Ed Murphy was right
when he said his famous line,
"If anything can go wrong, it will"
even when I did everything right
Friday, I asked you out
, and you answered yes so excitedly.
Prepared, I did it with enough cash
so you would not bail out.
On Saturday, I dressed smartly to look cool.
Little did I know I was a fool.
The new shirt I bought was inside out
and a large tear made me feel cool.
I arrived earlier than the agreed time
waiting on the side to see her arrive.
Arrive she did in sweat and smiles
Two hours later than the agreed time.
I asked her if we should get inside
only to be told she had a friend in tow.
A guy she introduced as a cousin smiled
causing shame and anger inside.
I showed them my sweetest smile
and offered to get food and drinks.
Bought two tickets at the counter,
and bought it with a Cheshire cat's smile.
I wanted to see a romantic movie
but the red string to another led me.
Brought the tickets, food, and drinks
to the booth with a slasher movie.
I told them to go look for seats,
for I will go to the loo first.
I walked away from the cinema,
but instead towards a taxi's seat.
I planned to go on a wonderful date,
ended instead on a lonely game.
Played all day inside an internet cafe
until the calendar changed date.
The only thing inside my mind,
who brings a cousin on an intimate date.
It changed something inside of me,
broke my heart, and changed my mind.

Ian Jay Plaza Poem
I've been listening to your eyes
And tasted ecstasy
I've been glancing at your skin
And smelled zest
I've been feeling your tongue
And heard fragrance
I've been savoring your nose
And saw melody
I've been breathing into your ear
And felt elegance

Ian Jay Plaza Poem
I smiled when I saw
The figure in front
I ran to get close
But only hugged smoke
