Rain and Poems.
7-29-06

Phone Rings
Who is it?
Someone lost
So near by.

Sitting alone
Deal with life
They walked by
Doesn’t matter now.

A cat
Hiding between cars.
That cat
Ran away today.

Rain
Water as I run.
Storm
Just more wet.

No one owes
Others only
Speak the truth
It’s done.

Running
Running
Running
Back, it didn’t change.

Earth is
Our home.
Giving and giving
So we can improve.

Watch,
Clocks,
Long hand,
On twelve.

Thinking
Remembering
The past
Now.

Tired
Go to sleep.
Only to see
The one.

Holding,
Touching,
Space is close.
Compared to all.

The piano and me.
Poems 7-15-06

Friendship
Something
To
Try?

Where are you?
Who are you?
Why are you?
What?

Ok, that’s fun.
Running,
Skipping,
Dancing away.

People
That are strange
Are
Real.

People
That are normal
Are
Fake.

A clean office,
A Tidy person,
Can’t
Be Trusted.

Water
Water
H to
Oh.

Never cry
When you have to.
Never laugh
When you don’t want to.

Control
Do you
Have it?
Maybe….


Old
To
New
That same.

A new job?

Facing
Truth
Never
Run.

We look up
Into the stars
To see
The Mirror.

The World
Is so beautiful
Only
Never forget.

I like,
So much
Too Much
Isn’t.

Can you face,
The only thing
That you can never
Give you peace.

Ok
Long talks
Are
Long.

Wasted nights
Time lost
Can
Not find again.

Dropping names
All the time
Is it
Something?

Walking
Walking
Souls
A plenty.

You never smile
On the inside
You only smile
Outside and it’s fake.

Lunch times
Feeling happiness
Dinner times
I’m not done.

Man the mission
Can a Canoe
Go and Get
Home please happy.

The eyes
Leads directly
To your
Soul.

Magazines see
Yourself
Not in
Never will.

Breaking
Understand
Won’t
Roll.

Herbert the Poet
6-5-06
Reflections on life
I dream at night
All the dreams
That will never happen
When I'm awake.

Here are the flowers
The ones
That were there
When....

As time flows
Flows and flows
Goes and goes
Knows and knows.

Seeing
is something
When a leaf
falls down.

In a moment
Souls are connected
Linked
No surprise there.

Why in a chance
Eyes to eyes
Heart to Soul
Only a smile then.

Walking
Thinking
Doing
Living.

Never hurt your soul,
The heart can recover,
Memories will fade.
Your soul will always be there for you.

Poems
Summer 2006

Here are some poems that I have written this summer.

I plan to update this blog as I write more poems.

I hope that you like them.
Herbert

A Smile
Is all there is
Can move the world.

As time flys by
Less and Less
The meaning
It doesn't matter.

Run away
Does answer
A problem
Face it.

Lights
not on
Fun to see
The Real Light!

Echoes
Echoes
Your Voice
Never Ends.

Alone
no Sadness
Solo
Equals Happiness.

Alienation
Look at
Mirrors
To Know all....

Your Face
Can't see
Nothing
In my mind.

Who is scared
Who cares
Who thinks
is safe.

A Misunderstanding
no talk
Remain Strong
It's over.

Welcome
to your smile
Happiness
fills your Soul.

Bird song
the only sound
That Makes me
cry.

Remind
Do you need
Ideas
of Us.

Friendship
Why?
Smooth
Without.

Words
All you write
Is
All you know.

Regular
Is the norm
Special
Isn't.

Pass
The sell by Date
you
will Be.

Life
So many
Ways
to go.
