Frank Sheehan Poem
It can go both ways
Can be given
or received
It is an attribute
that must be valued
and utilized
on various occasions.
When you think
someone has betrayed you
or done you wrong
it is better
to forgive, realize
that sometimes
you have done
the same.
Life goes in circles,
things come and go,
there is an everlasting
crescendo of give and take
So go with the flow,
don't hold grudges
Forgive

Frank Sheehan Poem
Just the thought of you
inspires me to heights
of grandiosity and elegance
You coerce me to create
writings, poems of distinction
indubitably perchance
How does this entrancing
energy transpose into art,
permutations of heights
drifting through ions
of transposition, toughness
circumcises deliverance
It's a mystical phenomenon
that's existed for ages,
from the inception
of humanity's ineptness
through the age of technology
bolstered by craters
of existential drifting
through generations
parallel to the Muse.

Frank Sheehan Poem
Late at night
not a sound
to disturb
Meditating thoughts
form reality
in a nutshell
Rain simmers
after snowy day
ice jungle
Joys of life
transverse spheres
of peace
Writing poems
is my therapy
from existence
Thoughts of loved ones
break the panes
of serenity
Who knows
what is at next curve
of road
Sipping beers
exhaustion relieved
with a grin
Not enough time
to fulfill desires
driven by Fate

Frank Sheehan Poem
That's what I am
A Servant To Poetry
I'm dominated by passion
with Muses spreading their light
I've sacrificed myself
freed myself to be ruled
my total being possessed
by forces that overpower
my actions, thoughts
It's as if I am
alienated from reality
in my own domain
in the zone of an empire
that transcends actualization
Justification penetrates
as desires are perplexed
by this controlling force
that drives me to performances
delivering unquestioned joy
and satisfaction.

Frank Sheehan Poem
It was something
that brought a smile
to my face.
It had unusual underpinnings
with desirable overtones,
a pleasurable experience
as I wandered aimlessly
through concoctions Neanderthal
perpetuations ministered aloft
in dreams drearily
bound by time, space
glittery amidst synchronizing
to a land of make-believe
where all desires
could be fulfilled
it tantalized senses
drifting through subconscious
perplexity illuminating
dismal repercussions stifled
by cold truths.

Frank Sheehan Poem
In Poetry I Find Salvation
It has saved me
from the
depths of despair
that emanate
from living
in this world
It has taken me
to a higher level
where I live
in freedom, happiness
enjoying each day
as it slowly passes.
It has
opened my mind
taught me wisdom,
enlightened me.
I need it
like I require
food and air,
am grateful
that I found her.

Frank Sheehan Poem
Crisp Spring day
winds gusting
birds on beach
The West End
where Artists aspire
to live their dreams
Strolling Boardwalk
regulars pass by
enjoying rhythm
Daily excursions
through turmoil
and jubilant feelings
Fog rolls in
under a sprinkle
Ocean in a tempest
Sun breaks through
during lackluster afternoon
children playing
Cell phone rings
friendly voice
amidst chaos
Baseball season starts
America's pastime
frigid eve
Another dawn
breaks monotony
anxiety pesters
Spring snowfall imminent
insomnia strikes
Is it natural?
A child is an angel
my flesh and blood
sleeping peacefully
Video games galore
when you hang
with a 14 year old.

Frank Sheehan Poem
The ultimate compassionate
sensation resonates beyond
daily circumstances, travails
It is calming serenity
tapered by lustful indulgences
tempting peacefulness
You wonder how such blessings
could have been bestowed
upon a common utilitarian
personality rife with imperfections.
It's mind boggling
how forces intermingle
creating spheres of happiness.
It dangles illusions
of utopian perfection
transforming everyday misanthropes
into circumstantial bliss
that encapsulates illustrious
transcendental thoughts.
Mind altering realities
bestowed upon simplicities
of thoughtless ramifications
turning lackluster days
into something magical.

Frank Sheehan Poem
That's what we've become
The Ugly Americans
We allow our government
to strip infants and children
from their parents
and put them
into detention centers
some never to see
them again
How low can we go?
What happened to America
the alleged bastion
of freedom and liberty?
It's a shame
to see a country
slide into decadence
losing it's values and morals.
It makes me
ashamed to be an American.
I never thought
I would see that time,
but all empires
eventually have their demise.

Frank Sheehan Poem
What a simple
and beautiful premise- - - - -
Everything That Lives Is Holy!
If only we
as the human race
could follow it
and give Life the respect
that it deserves
We'd have no more
degradations, barbarous acts,
despicable killings..... Wars!
All religions preach this concept
It is a thread
that binds all humanity
What will it take for
our leaders to understand this?
Every day there are
so many useless deaths
When will it sink in?
Hopefully with the Grace of God
