Randy McClave Poems

The Sword that I carry
Though made not of iron or steel,
It is a mighty sword
That I proudly do so wield.
...

I am not a man
Nor am I just a boy
I am the sailor
Sailing a different voyage.
...

Kentucky is my land
Kentucky is my home,
Kentucky is my heart
Kentucky, is my soul.
...

I felt the blowing of the wind
As it entered my breadth from deep within
It entered my soul, and then wouldn't let go
It is the wind, from whence life begins.
...

A day without you
Is an eternity without living
It is a time without need,
It is a moment without giving.
...

If I don't ever trust again,
It will be because of you,
And if I stay angry more than I want,
That too, will be because of you.
...

If I had but one last wish
I wander what would that wish be,
Would I wish to be with you
Or would you already be with me.
...

To Die Alone

Sometimes I sit and wander,
While other times I walk and ponder
...

She shampoos and cuts the hair of your pet,
She loves all animals and she is not a vet,
She clips their toenails and laughs with her humor,
She is of course the loving and caring pet groomer.
...

I did not put on my suit, and not even a tie
As I go to church to worship and praise,
Although I am seen as an outcast, a pariah
But, still wouldn't GOD want to see me in these days.
...
