I'm Just A Guy

Some poetry comes from the mind; some comes from life. And some just stand and speak for themselves.

I’m Just A Guy

I am just a guy

I laugh I hurt

I smile and cry

I won’t apologize

Hopeless romantic

Foolish some say

You can take your pick

I won’t apologize

No one at my side

Dancing through life

With my stubborn pride

I won’t apologize

Just like everyone

Here all alone

Looking for someone

I won’t apologize

Accept what you can

Who I may be

Whatever I am

I won’t apologize

Look deeper to see

What beats inside

Notice the real me

I won’t apologize

My heart on my sleeve

Prayer on my lips

Just trust and believe

I won’t apologize

I am just a guy

I laugh I hurt

I smile and cry

I won’t apologize

Eyes that open

            See

            Wonder

            Eyes that are searching

Eyes that question

            Plead

            Demand

            Eyes that are misunderstood

Eyes that spark

            Flash

            Burn

            Eyes that are jaded

Eyes that pry

            Scold

            Accuse

            Eyes that are troubled

Eyes that speak

            Curse

            Lie

            Eyes that are lost

Eyes that long

            Hope

            Hurt

            Eyes that are ignored

Eyes that fear

            Hide

            Pray

            Eyes that are forgotten

Eyes that remember

            Cry

            Dim

            Eyes that are closed

Said Spring To Winter by BJ Neblett

Hello and happy holidays! I'll be enjoying my birthday on the 24th (yes, a Christmas baby, better than a sack of coal!) with a quiet night, perhaps with a couple of friends. Hopefully yours will be a bit more exciting. In the mean time enjoy this new and very special poem written for a very special person. And then follow the link at the right over to my writer's blog for a short story.
Peace and love for a new year.

Said Spring To Winter

                           Said Spring to Winter            Said Winter to Spring

                              In silence we meet              Don’t ask me my name

                          Specter of my dreams                   I am just a man

                         The future in your eyes            Do not seek tomorrow

                             Uncertain but true                   And it will be yours

                            How am I to know                  Ask me no questions

                         What truths will I find                 I’ll tell you no lies

                                Your gift to me                          Take all I offer

                                 Afraid to open                        As long as it lasts

                             The longings inside            Don’t question your heart

                          Untouched and frozen              And love will be ours
