Franklin J. Warren Poems

1.

A beautiful love fills my heart,
Wonderful love,
And a wonderful smile, touched my heart,
Smile at me always,
...

How much love can one give,
An infinite amount I believe,
How long can a love live,
For as long as one can perceive.
...

Today I think of days long gone.
With no one to call my own,
Those wonderful days of the past,
Linger on and last and last.
...

I thought i had a wonderful friend,
That could and would help my heart mend,
She is as beautiful as the prettiest flower,
Yet when for me things turned so dour,
...

Thoughts arise as i sit and muse,
About how long i've had the blues,
Abhorring the games people play,
And how easily they do betray!
...

There are no connective threads running through,
The human race and what they do,
Each has to manage on their own,
Never realizing that they are a pawn!
...

I do not have much longevity left,
And of intellect this world is bereft,
And with my body getting decrepit and frail,
Convinced there is no holy grail.
...

When that deep and dreamless sleep,
Comes to me i shall not weep,
i shall rejoice as it comes to me,
Knowing another day i'll never see!
...

The rose's first blush fills the air,
With a fragrance beyond compare,
Like a siren song to a lover,
Alluring, a newness to discover!
...

From birth the tides of time both high and low,
Pushes our lives to and fro,
Without reason, without rhyme,
Sometimes bad, sometimes kind!
...

When life's evening shadows fall,
And black spectra Death comes to call,
i shall not try to flee nor fight nor rail,
Nor fear that bony face so pale!
...

The masses never see the larger picture,
Too involved in biblical scripture,
They seem to need that crutch,
Of some deity that loves them much!
...

How can a global society believe,
in something they cannot perceive?
There are ten thousand religions,
Within this world's regions.
...

I no longer wish to be,
For i see mostly, stupidity,
A world devoid of intellect,
Any care circumspect!
...

When someone analyses your actions,
And finds things that are detractions,
Such as not seeing their self worth,
Nor understanding another's turf!
...

I am so appalled at what i see,
That sometimes i no longer wish to be,
The never ending push and drive,
Of those just trying to survive!
...

18.

I wish there was a ubiquitous benign deity,
i would ask that he come and get me,
But i know it's just stupidity,
One would never allow what i see!
...

The fingers of time reach back to the place,
From which is the origin of the human race,
Back to the pea soup of happenstance,
And the realization that we are by chance!
...

20.

Sunset's are varied in so many ways,
Sometimes only the beauty stays,
Long enough for one to appreciate,
The finality for that date!
...
