Max D. Hornbogen Poems

Dad, can you hear me? It’s me max. You left me when I was just little and now I am a young man.

Why did you have to leave me Dad? Ever since I’ve been so sad.
...

Look in the sky, I think its a bird a plane. No It's superman.
And if you had my vision you'll see the purple haze in the sky.

So look in the sky, my friend you will start seeing things that are not there.
...

I will not die here today; I still got to hang on to my life.
I got to be alive for my children. Maybe even watch them grow.

But when I look in their eyes, they make me kind of sad.
...

This is a poem about where I lived and about what happened in my life. For those who don’t know, My dad died when I was little. He died in a car accident. I was 6 or 7 years of age at the time.

There's a view where everything is so clear and the weather is so beautiful and the air is so fresh and the grass is so soft and the sand is harm to. The lake was so gentle that it could look like a glass and the sun is shining on me and that’s when I get a harm feeling from it, that’s when I can tell that this day will always be remembered. Now the day is getting closer to the end and soon the sun will go down (when the sun goes down) . Now take away the pain and let me feel free like a bird in the sky. Now the next day came, then I looked up and saw the sun about to rise then I said 'it’s going to be nice again'. Oh yes the lake, the sky and the birds are singing in the summer time. As I lay here under the stars and drifting away to a dream that is going to be a state of mind. And as I come back I’ll say that I was in heaven and when that sun goes down I’ll just think of tomorrow may come. When I think of things in life I know that everything will be deep down inside of me, that’s when I can recall the memories that I will have. Now the stars are up and I'm going to think of a place where I can fly away, but soon I’ll be back. When the next day came I’ll know that I will think of yesterday and how much fun it was. I remember when I was a kid I use to live on a street that was use to be called memory lane but now the memories still lives on. In this heart of mine I’ll know that there is someone that I miss the most and I think you know who that is. But when that sun goes down I’ll be thinking of things that I’ve done in my life. Now this life of mine still goes on and many more pictures that I will frame. But those pictures will have meaning and moments that will always be remembered. I’ll know that my brother and my sister still have room in their hearts for me. And that is called love and that’s why we look after one another cause we know that life itself has a lot of special moments that it brings to us. But we also miss and think of dad all the time, but that he raised just wonderful kids. His love for us will never fade cause he’s in our thoughts all the time and always thinking what it could be like if he was here. Now let the sun go down one more time and let many more memories be in our lives and always take pictures and then put them In a frame and hang them on the wall.

Sunlight is coming from my window and now I feel the air coming
through.

The feeling from the warmness is getting to me, yeah I feel the summer breeze.

Well what I see, is the sun light in your eyes and they seem to keep me on my toes. So everywhere I go, I see that the sun light is there to remind me of you. The life I had once before, is all gone. Now all I got to do, is to move on. Because you know everyday of my life is a struggle. Imagine what I could had become, a man with a life... maybe a different life time.
Seeing you is all I have. And you are my sun light every where I go. Every time I walk these streets at night, it just reminds me of the past. Now that life is long gone, no more going back to the streets. I just want to move on with life. And see what happens down the road ahead of me.

But now the only thing that is keeping me going, is you. The sun light is only a part of living, that Is what I intend to do.
...

Well I wish it was true and that your lies are pathetic and unworthy, don’t even try to cover up the truth. In this lifetime I had to give up the things that I had loved, so I wish it was true. That it could have been a time of youth and long past memories that had gone by. But I wish it was you that took me away from the pain that I had. Could you ever bear the pain that I had, or even trying to be me. So I wish it was true, that it was you that took away the pain. So I’ll let myself loose one more time and try to unwind. Now everything seems so clear as if it was a big blue sky. Maybe I’ll try to be what I’m supposed to be and try to unclutter bad thoughts out of my head. Now there’s a open road with new thoughts and new memories ahead of me, so I’m going to take this chance to start something new.

The last time I saw you, I was a child walking on the floor. And you still had your two feet on the ground. But each highway brings back a memory from the past. I know now that you were there for me when I needed you, but now and then I would cry for you. Knowing that you were there by my side. I wish I could had said “goodbye” but I knew you had a smile on your face when you left. The last time I saw you, I was a child walking on the floor. And you still had your two feet on the ground. Now each memory of you brings back special moments of life. But still I was a child and you had your two feet on the ground. That each time I Walked for you, you would pick me up and say “ everything will be ok “
