Walking on Eggshells

Posted by admin on July 3, 2009

Tiptoes,
Sliptoes,
Don’t step on my toes.

No heels,
Slow heels,
Careful with the pills.

Quiet,
Silent,
Screeming to hide it.

Lash out,
Crash out,
Watching you check out.

You try,
We cry,
They hear all your lies.

I slip,
I trip,
You lose your last grip.

Your words,
Your curse,
Hands, anger over burst.

Light? A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on June 5, 2009

There is no darkness in my heart,
Only shadows have lost their way.
The mind, the craze,
the simple thought
That brings to me a lighter sense
I love, I know,
but not quite right
A twisted form of midnight light.

Why - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 29, 2009

Live and serve,
Love and give.
This is what He taught us.
That pain and hate,
Spite and hurt
Have grief and sorrow brought us.

Work until the work is done,
Love until love alone goes on,
Suffer for His suffering,
Try, do impossible things.

Then when its done,
Through and through.
Hope will come, the strife will end.
The new age begin,
Millennial hope come,
When born up in the first resurrection.

What Some People Say - By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on May 8, 2009

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
I’m not sure I entirely agree,
But I’m not going to say anything either.
I’m just going to sit here and live me
fantasies and let the world go by.
Life and death are nothing.
I will live equally whatever happens.
The nation is gone, and others also.
But I know that in places things are different.
I have visited those happy realms.
I have felt the euphoria of utopia.
I know.
I feel.
I sense.
I understand.
I am.

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
I’m not crazy, I try not to be.
But some things must be said.
Some things must change a lot.
I imagine we are too far gone.
Despite my acts, even though I get involved
Are we really going to save life at all?
Is hope entirely gone, or can we still
Save those elsewhere who were lost long ago?
I try to see the dissapointed place.
I feel the loss of distopia.
I’m unsure.
I’m numb.
I’m cold.
I’m lost.
I’m not.

Some people say the world has gone to pot.
They are right.  Or not.

I Saw You Walking Yesterday - By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on April 8, 2009

I saw you walking yesterday.
Today you are in the newspaper.

Many times I wondered at your quietness,
And why you always sat so far off in the corner.
My frineds and I had lunch and talked,
While you usually ate apart,
Sometimes we discussed your quiet manner;
Your ways always seemed difficult to understand.

You and I were never really acquainted,
Although you were always just across the street.
And we met each morning and each afternoon,
I never thought we might actually talk,
Or say more than “Hello,” and “good-bye.”
Now I know that when I saw you walking yesterday,

I should have stopped and said something to help,
So that maybe you wouldn’t have killed yourself.

I Miss You – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on March 13, 2009

Sitting in the dark, I miss you.

My LCD blinks at me.
A car whirs by.

I think of you.
You think of me.

Or do you?

I write.
I think.
I do not sleep.

And you?

You miss me too.

The important thing about writing poetry, as I’ve discovered is to simply write consistently.  The good poems come when they want to.  The rest of the time it is just words put together with a bit of hope for something inspiring.  I hope you enjoy today’s post.

Saying Good-Bye

Posted by admin on February 11, 2009

“There is no death for the young,”
they say.
Lie
Did I say, “lie,”
I meant it.

“There is no death for the young.”
Who the hell ever said it should be …
What’s the point …
Its over anyway.

NO!!! I don’t know.  Can’t be.  So clean.
Gone now.
Its a good memory,
It feels good to recall
the virtues.

All I can say
now is I’m sorry.

Why say more, or try
to rerun what ended.
Some things cannot
change.

Good-bye.

Reflections as I Write - A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on February 6, 2009

Reflections of teh pen as I write.

No simile, just light.

Bouncing back to me and you,

Filling ever joyful our view.

Mirror senses on shining steel.

Smiling as I write.

What A Child Sees - A Poem By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on February 4, 2009

No!
I said no!
Go to hell.
get out of here.
I will not.
You idiot!
Just go away.

From the door
he speaks.

Are you done now?
Can I come in
Is it safe?
Will I still hurt?
Will you ever agree?

And sees.

I’m sorry,
I didn’t mean it that way.
You have a point.
Don’t go.
You’re right.
Please forgive me.
It will never happen again.

But it happens again.

You Can’t Welch On A Wish - A Poem By Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on January 7, 2009

You can’t welch on a wish,
If you are a Djinni or magic fish.
Just like you can’t serve the lord
If you wishes aren’t his words.

Long hair and dainty looks
Are great to those who live in lust.
But strong character and good deeds
Are those who our great Lord needs.

You can’t help another grow
If your soul is dead and faith slow.
First comes the fire to purge yourself
Then the warmth to touch everyone else.

Great works wrought in pride
Are to hell a one-way ride.
But simple everyday life
done right never brings strife.

You can’t lose if you live your dream
And your dreams are the dreams of God.
You can’t lose if you chase sunbeams,
And your dreams are dreams of God.

This poem was meant to be humorous and light-hearted as well as point to the great potential of mankind.
