Jake from State Farm's blog: "Poems or Words Strung Together"

I told you that my love was true

all you said is that we were through

so you left me on that cold, cold morning

you and me we've had a chance at a shared life and true romance

but you left me on that cold, cold morning

here I stand with big soft heart

wondering if I am going to fall apart

since you left me on that cold, cold morning (circa 1992)

It's the end of the working day holding frustration at bay

I know that happiness is coming soon

'cause I'll be listening to your tune

My friend, you're my lighter side

you're the moon to my tide

now it isn't so bad

it is not what you think

You're a friend the best I've had

And it's friendship I want to gain

because I'm the desert and you're the rain

All my beautiful friends have all gone away

only wish you could stay

wherever you go

I have to let you know

you have a friend in me

I'll send you my best

no good-byes

no sad-sighs (circa 1993)

I love you every day of the week
and twice on Sunday.
Living with you makes life a Funday.
your looks, your smile, you're everything I desire.
the way you walk, the way you kiss fills me with fire.

I love you every day of the week
and twice on Sunday.
So give me a wink, a smile and pinch on the cheek
and lock the doors and call me yours.

I know what I mean but cannot define it
I know where it is but I cannot find it
I know its touch but I cannot feel it
I can hold it but I cannot possess it
I know it is logical but it does not make sense.

Of the things I've seen

of the things I've done

makes me who I am today.

I see end results and

can trace back with clues left

I can see beauty within the pain

I can see the pain in the beauty

I can hear the melody in the rain drops

I can hear the roar in the silence of  woman

I can feel the pain in the silent stare of  man

I can dance to the rhythm of Earth

Most of all, I can write poems off-the-cuff

when duly inspired.

Peacey

The kindness I show

does anyone know?

or does it come out inside-out?

I don't ask for much

just a loving touch.

Believe me I try

but happiness passes by

Oh Please Let It Be Me!

(what's wrong with me?)

Some feelings I'm told

start out warm, end up cold

This same feeling

leaves my heart reeling.

There are times

I feel That Strong

Yelling till it's gone

Because it's gone all wrong

I'm here alone

listening in monotone

Can't I come across?

(is it gone? have I lost?)

Driving at breakneck speed

flying off the cliff

because it's the feeling I need

I feel That Strong

playing a one-sided game

to me, it's all the same.

It hurts so much

living without a loving touch

words and rhyming

way off my timing

Can it be that no one knows?

My hurt feelings,  does it show?

Death and Life go hand in hand

never separated.

From the ttime we are born

death becomes a part of us.

How we cope with what we got

determines how smooth our time is spent.

With your Eyes of Blue

told me of which I knew

You are the One

to make me come undone.

Oh girl, you take me there,

where no one can compare.

There is so much delight

in the feelings you excite.

With me you can have your way,

'cause you keep heartache at bay.

There is more that I need to say

but I need you here today.

I just do no understand

on how I end up with head in hand

Maybe...

It is how I do not want to be emotionally hurt

because I'm tired of dusting off the lonely dirt

Please do not get me wrong

I have wanted to talk all along

But when you are near, you freeze my reaction

because I feel the pull of your attraction

so you see

it's my emotional being

that I always abort

in doing so, I cut myself short.
