"CLOWNS SUSPENDED IN AIR"

People look without a thought
Seeing past what's there
Nailed down by fear of truth
Are clowns suspended in air

Problems caused by their plagues of lies
Twisted by their fate
What drives their minds and starving eyes
Actually drives them by hate

Disaster lies within their grasp
They've killed what wasn't there
Please tell me just what it is
That keeps them in the air

Bleeding hearts and crying eyes
Fall upon their youth
Is it lust destroying their minds
Or love of bending the truth

Selfish greed pollutes their thoughts
Along with lands we share
Can't you see because of this
We're all clowns suspended In air

I submitted "Clowns Suspended In Air" to Poetry.Com, and it will be published in a book called: "America At The Millenium (The Best Poems and Poets of the 20th Century)", due for publication in February, 2000. To obtain a copy of the book, and to read many more great poems visit Poetry.Com.

"ONCE MEETING (MARIA)"

Sometimes the days are numbered
For so many but, so few
I wish my days were numbered
To the day that I meet you

My heart is o so blinded
By the presence of your love
Seeing only happiness
That was sent from Him above

My feelings are unique
Because they're meant for only you
These feelings are so special
'cause I know you love me too

I can feel you in my thoughts
Growing stronger in my soul
You cross my mind with happiness
But, love's the only toll
