What did you want?
by David Roman

This is one of the flowers from my show and poems for her. What did you want as you walked with me as I held your hand in mine? / What did you think that I would be as I held your hand in mine? / What did you hope for as we strolled along walking hand in hand? / What was this special look that you gave me as you start to smile? / What was that little sparkle in your eyes as you said that you were mine? / What was it that you wanted from me the first time that we met? / You never say a word about what you did expect. / What was it that you whispered in my ear last night? / As I pushed deeply in your body as you held me very tight! / What were those little words that came so fast so swift as we made love last night? / Like little smiles and special kisses and just a soft kind touch. / What was it that you expected from me as you held my hand? / I think you wanted someone there who understood your dreams. / Someone who would take the time to hold you close and dear. / Someone to say your everything that I’ll ever need. / And even when we’ve had a fight you’ll still be all I need. / I think you wanted someone to love and be there for all time. / I think you wanted someone who would stand there by your side. / I think you wanted this man to say all the things that make you smile. / And what was that that you said to me as we made love last night? / After all these years we’ve been together and through all the little storms. / I smile to think you can say these words after all these years. / Well I can say them very clear I feel them in my heart I’ll repeat exactly what you said as you held me close last night. / You whispered in my ear my wife these words I hold so dear….. / “My love for you will never stop until my dying days”. / What was it that you wanted as you held my hand that first day? / It looks to me that all you wanted….............. was me.
Mars Attack Part 4 "The Passover"
by David Roman

This is from the series Mars Attack “The Passover” The visitors are passing directly over us as we look in wonder. / All eyes are glued to the sky as we stand and tremble. / The dog is barking at the sky I wonder if he knows? / That soon our whole worlds gonna change forced on us by strangers! / My minds confused as I stand and look what the hell is going on? / Just last week we were in the church praying to Baby Jesus. / But this has put a different player in to my religion. / I wonder who he’s praying to or even if he cares! / My wife’s still looking at the sky as I struggle with my mind. / And all my neighbors are in a trance as this thing go’s by. / And little Trudi’s standing there she’s peed in her new blue jeans. / And her friend Kim from down the street has done the same thing too. / And Mike the guy who’s always ready to come and play some cards. / Is on his knees in his front yard praying up to God. / My mind is still a little foggy as I look to all my neighbors and then Judi comes up to me and says she’s really frightened. / It looks to me that everyones scared as we look at it pass by. / And then I hear someone start to scream so loud it waked me from my thoughts. / Its Janis who’s from the next block over she’s the local artist. / I guess this night will get her busy painting brand new things no more fruit on little tables for this pretty lady. / She’s pointing in the other direction and oh Lord what’s that I see? / As far as my eyes will go are these giant flying sauces. / We all stand and look up at the sky I think someone has fainted! / Yep its Fred my kinky neighbor this is even too much for him as he’s passed out on the front yard in his pink rubber suit. / As far as my eyes will take me its full of flying saucer I guess these things aren’t joking now it looks like they mean business! / And running down the streets towards us is my online friend named Karen. / She’s telling everybody that these things are gonna kill us all. / I tell her to sit on the grass and take a little break if they had wanted us dead it would of been all over. / So here we stand all looking up and all that I can see is the sky so full of visitors to bring a change to our blue Planet! End of Part 4
The Ballet
by David Roman

This is another of the flowers from my show and poems for her. I am not too big on the opera or the ballet but you wanted to go so I went with you. / I dressed up like you said I wore your favorite suit. / You pulled out something I had never seen you looked so good to me. / We called a cab to take us there you wanted to relax. / You said my driving would kill the mood so we took a cab that night. / The cab ride was a different feeling I felt like we were rich. / The two of us going to the ballet driven in cab. / I opened up the door and took a step out, and took your hand my darling wife you looked so good tonight. / And as we walked to the door to this holy place I took one final look at my lovely wife. / You looked so happy to be here it made me smile inside. / To see you standing in the line to finally get inside, I asked myself why had I hated that this night would come. / What was my problem about this was it just my hangup? / Here I was going to the ballet to watch some men in tights, / jump an twirl like little girls while they pranced on stage that night. / But as we entered into the room the place was one delight. / Lit in all kinds of gold lights and velvet on the walls. / It gave the feeling of royalty and you were the queen tonight. / We took our seats and your lovely eyes were glued to everything. / Like a little girl in a doll shop your eyes told everything. / Oh how you looked at all the people coming in the place and noted to me all the details engraved on all the walls. / You didn’t miss a moment of this lovely night. / But most of all you really shined when the dancers came out. / They pranced and twirled and did all types of movements. / I saw a different vision of these men in little tights. / They did all types of leaps and twirls to the classics that night. / I have to say what they did was more than I had thought, anyone could do with a mortal body. / But oh the evening was all your as I sat and looked at you. / Your shining eyes and lovely glow was brighter than the lights. / And as they danced away the night I could hear your every breath. / You were caught in every movement made as if it was you dancing. / Oh this was worth all the pain to dress up and come with you. / To only see your smiling face I would do it all again. / This evening showed me that a man can dance with silly tights and have more women fall in love with them than a macho man. / Your loving heart has showed me one more thing that I might of missed. / And as I think about tonight I am glad that your my wife.
You and I
by David Roman

Watching the shore I see my life wash out to distant places. / I see my life as if it were the wave thats coming in. / One moment its in full view I see it loud and clear. / And now its taken a new course no longer in my view. / My life has been the same as you I whisper to my friend. / You move with a mighty force like I did when I was young. / But now as you reach the shores and the end is close for you. / You seem to have more in common with me the mortal man. / I watch you as you stumble in a small and fearless friend. / When once you were a mighty thing with force to scare most men. / But now you limp up to my feet I can feel your feeble cry. / I hear you loud and clear my friend, that the two of us will die. / You die here as I stand and feel you cling to me. / But you my friend will rise again to beat these shores again. / But I your watchman standing here too old to have much fear. / Watch as you go rolling out to come back in again. / As if you were afraid to die alone it’s me you wish would come. / My time like your is not too long I seen many go to you. / And as I stand and watch you come I really have no fear. / We share a common tread my friend my body’s made of water and one day soon you and I will swim the sea together.
Alone
by David Roman

This is not one of the flowers from my show and poems for her but will be in my book. Cast into this web of life I choose to find my way. / Surrounded by all types of spoils to rob me of my faith. / I search in all directions for one hand of help. / And all that I seem to find is men who are corrupt. / Where are the men of virtue with eyes set to the prize. / Who seek the same as I do truth, love and family pride. / Surrounded by the virtueless with eyes of bad intent. / I strive to find a better way as I struggle to exist. / I look to you for my guidance to see me on my way. / And give me strength to find the light to keep my family strong. / Without you there in my life I fail to all I love. / So now I am down on my knees to say that you are loved. / Thank you my friend for all you give to me.
Waiting
by David Roman

This was the other photograph from my day at the Zoo. I see the sun rise in the distance as I wait for you my love. / You promised me your swift arrival filled with love for me. / I wait as told for your arrival in your favorite place. / But here I sit and you’ve not come its been forever and a day. / This is the place where we first kissed it seemed like yesterday. / The years have passed too fast as they always do. / I sit and wait for you to come to comfort me this day. / But like the days before this one your presence is not felt. / I sit and wait for you to come have you forgotten me? / We talked about this special place that meant so much to us. / It was here that I first stole a kiss and caused your face to blush. / And here was where we made our plans if we might wed. / And it’s here that I gave you a ring to say you were my love. / And here it was that you told me you would have my son. / I wait for you before the sun each and every morning. / Its bright rays sing your name as I wait for you. / But no where in the distant do I see your smile. / Have you forgotten me my love I wait for you to come? / You passed so many years ago did you forget your promise? / I’ll wait for you forever more I’ve not forgotten you. / And with the passing of my soul I’ll wait and wait for you. / Until the sun comes no more I’ll sit and wait for you. /
Not tonight my Love
by David Roman

This is not one of the flowers from my show and poems for her but will be in my book. I kiss your lips my lovely dove your trembling in my arms. / Your here tonight to give yourself it’s you that wants not I. / You settle into my arms and touch my face so soft. / And then you kiss me on my neck and tell me I am loved. / You come to me my precious love your hands shake from your fear. / You touch me where you’ve never gone I feel your pounding heart. / I hear you say that its ok you want this more than I. / But my love for your virtue tonight I must deny. / I want you too my body says my mind says this is wrong. / I want to hold you in my arms as any man would do. / But something says I need to wait until that time is right. / And look at you with loving eyes and not with shame tonight. / I feel like we are cheating two kids out in the car. / But here we are both adults but love this isn’t right. / I want to say please baby lets just wait awhile. / And then when your my lovely wife I’ll know the time is right. / And then I’ll look you in the eyes without one ounce of doubt.
Why
by David Roman

This is not a flower from my show and poems for her. This poem came up today as I was listening to the news about someone beating his wife. / Seems to be common in some country’s of the world to beat your wife. / It had me really angry and after the anger I thought about that man and what he might feel later in his sad life after years have passed as he sat in front of his TV alone. I sit here in my favorite chair the late late show is on. / Someone is talking about something as if I really care. / I sit here every night alone wishing I was dead. / But Gods making my days real long I guess he’s really mad. / I sit and see where you once sat your chair is empty now. / I see the knitting that you made in your happy days. / I see the kitchen table from where I sit, your plate sits in its place. / The only thing missing in this show is you my loving wife. / I sit here every night alone afraid to call you up. / Its been five years since you walked out our house. / Not one word have I heard from you since that dreadful day. / I wonder if you’ll ever let the past lie down and die. / I did them things to hurt you hon I know it was my fault. / And as I look down at the floor tears begin to fall. / What was it that I said to you so mean it knocked you down. / I had a drink I know its wrong and that was no excuse. / I took the one thing that you loved your photo of your mom. / And then I ripped it apart and threw it in your face. / I drink, I lie, I do the things that I said I’d stop. / I go to church and ask the lord to help me see the light. / But no I walk right out that church and soon as we get home… / If dinners not the way I want then I start a fight. / I know I said I’d get it right, but hon I just don’t know! / I think I am just too bitter at the way my life has gone / Its not your fault you did it right you stood tall by my side. / When your friend’s said take a walk and leave me to my own. / You took it all and smiled at them and told them they would see. / And then I did just what they said.. Oh hon I feel so bad. / And then the one that loved me most I turned on her too. / I sit and wait until he comes and takes me by the hand. / I hope that he will forgive me hon for all that I have done. / I know I don’t deserve his love for I have been so bad. / So here I sit and wait for him as tear drops slowly fall.
Mornings
by David Roman

This is not one of the flowers from my show and poems for her but will be in my book. Mornings break and you are there safe beside my side. / My sleep was filled with lovely things the whole night through. / I danced and ran through the woods with you holding hands. / We stopped to watch a robin sign as the sun came up. / And then we ran a little more until we stopped to kiss. / The woods so cool in mornings light we wondered at the sight. / The mist was coming off the earth as we watched it move. / And not far off in the distance we saw a lovely thing. / A baby doe with mom in tow running through the mist. / We stopped to watch this lovely sight and kissed a little more. / And then you took me by the hand and then we ran some more. / You laughed I laughed we were children once again. / We stopped to watch a toad come out from his sleeping place. / And blink his eyes as morning came its time to find a fly. / And as we ran an eagle flew high above the trees sounding out the alarm that mornings finally come. / We ran some more until we came to our favorite place. / High above the oceans reach as we looked far out. / We watched as waves came tumbling in as we held each other. / And then you looked me in the eyes and said this must be heaven. / And in my dream we were so young as dreams so often do. / But as I lie here in this bed your beauty has not changed. / I look at you and think about how much we share together. / The woods so cool and so sublime at this time of day. / And here we were in my dream lovers once again.
Why you
by David Roman

This is one of the flowers from my trip to the Zoo. I see the light to you my love its rays come down to me. / I sit an wait for you to come as you smile down on me. / I stumble in my mind each day for one moments hope. / That you will come down from above and kiss me once again. / I wait and wait I see you there your rays give me new hope. / I know your smiling down on me but a kiss is what I want. / I want to feel you in my arms the way I use to feel. / And then look in your stunning eyes and kiss your lips again. / I wait until I go to sleep to come to you each night. / But well aware that this is a dream the pain is twice as bad. / I wish for comfort from this pain that I might live again. / But each night that I go to sleep this dream with you brings pain. / I wake my pillows always stained with tears from missing you. / I wish that it was you that lived and me that should of died.

Dawn Breaks
by David Roman

This isn’t one of the flowers from my show and “Poems for Her” but will be in my book! Dawn Breaks before my eyes and your six thousand miles away. / I see the fire start to rise right before my eyes. / I feel the flea’s inside my shirt biting down on me. / And I think about you in our bed safe without me. / Dawn breaks another day its been two years of this. / It seems to me that this dry place has made me hate the sun. / And as I look out on the horizon all that I can see, is sand forever and then forever more. / Dawn breaks before my eyes I wonder who has died. / I hear mortar fire far off in the hills I bet its them again… killing some of us. / Dawn breaks its night where you are. / Safe in our green land. / I can smell your hair and feel your skin as I look at this dry place. / I see your smile as I think about who’s that way out there? / Is it a friend or will I have to kill again today? / I killed a man yesterday as I thought of you. / My soul died with him as he fell to the sand, I wondered who he was! / But this is war so they say, so I hold on to that thought. / Without that thought I just might crack up! / I am not the kid who left your arms two long years ago. / You asked me when I was back on leave if I had killed someone? / What could I say but a lie “I never shot my gun”. / When every night someone’s been shot and I am dying with him too. / I am here to kill thats my job to protect my country’s needs. / But what they are I still don’t know but then I’am just a Joe. / Dawn breaks as you sleep I think of you each day. / Without you there I’d go insane this place is so unreal. / To think that children have no choice but to live with death each day. / And all I ever knew when I was young was will the Yankees win. / I look into their tiny eyes an ask what will they do when they grow up? / An then my captain says to me watch out they’ll kill you too! / I look at them so young so small their eyes have seen it all. / And all I ever knew back then was swimming in the pool. / I don’t think they’ve ever seen a pool or know even how to swim. / But one thing as I look at them I see that their old men. / Dawn breaks as I think of you another day has gone. / Its night time here I’ve watched the sun roll away again. / And with its setting in the sand I see a new night come. / And with the night gun fire comes from the hills again. / I watch as I see gun fires light coming from the hills. / My minds grown cold to its fire I’ve seen so much of it! / And deaths at times can be a friend just to leave this place. / Its so crazy here thank God you’ll never know such fear. / Thank God I have a safe place this night the shots are miles an miles away. / Next week it will be my turn to ride up in them killing hills, so this is my time to think of you! / I ask myself as I pray that I get home safe to you, oh lord don’t let me get killed by sniper fire tonight? / Nights are long in this place they never go by fast. / It seems to me that time is dragging it’s lazy ass. / Nights are lonely and days are long it seems like fifty hours in a day. / I scratch myself till I bleed these damn flea’s it seems are working with the enemy! / And now I see the sun come up again full of angry fire, as if its in protest of this hateful place. / The flea’s have made a meal of me each an every night. / It seems they are the only ones who will win this useless fight! / Dawn breaks and I wonder who has died? / One day closer till I am home safe in bed with you. /
My Soul
by David Roman

This is not one of the flowers from my show and “Poems for her” / But will be in my book. I dream to find my soul again deep inside my heart. / And when I bring it out to share it starts to cry in pain! / Oh cry your heart out in my chest and come back out no more. / These thing that I want to save you from you must never see again. / Lie deep within my aching heart and weep and weep poor thing. / For what man has created is made from all your pain. / I want to save you from the hurt but you’re so curious. / You want to let the world see what you’re made of. / But the world has changed my friend its moved to a new plane. / One thats lost the virtues that you have as you weep inside. / So come back to me my love and I will nurture you. / And give you what your looking for all my eternal love.
Blood Shot eyes!!
by David Roman

This is not one of the flowers from my show and “Poems for her” but will be in my book. I like many see such thing that make us want to do more but where do we draw the line an how much can we do. This is a poem about how I feel about these things. My eyes have seen a lot of things that many dare not see. / The suffering of the little ones that sleep in all the streets. / My eyes have seen many men locked out of life’s main stream. / And here I am with food enough for many mouths to eat. / My eyes have seen the little ones crying out for love! / While many are lying dead from hunger in some dirty house. / While their mommas arms stuck with needles as they slowly die. / An daddy’s never been a name that they’ll ever know. / I look at them so young and fresh and they too have a need. / That same drug that their mommas need their little body’s crave! / My eyes cry out and scream to you please see these little ones. / Their plight is not their making it comes from mans desires. / We make a world that fit for some and other fall aside. / As we with many close our eyes, and step with eyes so blind! / I see you there I am just one, my heart go’s out to you. / Lying there in streets so cold with no one there for you. / How is it that my eyes see you but in my mind I’ve died. / Is it that its all too much as I try to survive! / I want to help what can I do your way too gone for me. / My eyes cry out I look for help but none is in my site. / Your little cry’s that I can hear no others care about. / I cry for you at night my child I lie here in my bed. / And wish that I had more to give then just my eyes this day. / But what can I just one man do to lend a hand? / So here I lie in my bed crying in my pain. / I turn my eyes like many men for this I am ashame!

I see your looking at me my friend your eyes have said that well. / And what is it that your telling me as you gaze my way. / What can you want from me my dear your much too fine for me. / An as I ask me why it is that you stare at me. / I can’t see it in the mirror I look ok to me. / But you my sweet are far too young I guess this is a dream. / I look at you so pure and young and I just know your mine. / Your little eyes say I love you until the day I die. / I reach into your little crib and take you in my arms. / Your little smile so sweet so pure I could look at it all day. / Now look what you just did again you made me smile some more. / I think that this will never end I feel it in my heart. / And here I am your loving dad your new to me this day. / And my, oh my I never knew that I could feel this way. / You smile at me so full of love, and make me feel so good. / I look down at your fine young face and see a gift from God. / Your mine! oh God! your really mine! I think I’am gonna cry!

When Brownie was alive
by Michael Douglass

When Brownie was alive we’d ride our bikes through the dry heat and down the red dirt tracks, tires popping as pebbles flew from our paths, always a hot wind harsh and unfriendly. How I hated that wind. Somehow as children though, we overcome things like this, death and heat, sometimes as adults it’s harder. / At the river we’d gather the stones that had been shaped by the water that ran forever through the valley. Its a trickle now, with the years of drought that followed. But I see it as it was, a brown green snake slithering and winding, seemingly never ending. / Once the stones had been rocks and boulders, hills or cliffs by the ocean. Something for man and animal to stand on up high, or perch, bearers to things seemingly unreachable, but now they were small and worn, carried and tumbled and rounded into submissive pebbles. All semblance of might long gone. / When we had a pile we’d skim them. Counting the bounces, seeing who could throw furthest, bounce highest. Now the stones from our hands were glorious things, slicing through the air and slicking off the water, shooting and arcing. / Alive once again. Michael Douglass, 2009.

Earth Day Message
by tkrosevear

On the surface of the world right now there is / war and violence and things seem dark. / But calmly and quietly, at the same time, / something else is happening underground / An inner revolution is taking place / and certain individuals are being called to a higher light. / It is a silent revolution. / From the inside out. From the ground up. / This is a Global operation. / A Spiritual Conspiracy. / There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. / You wont see us on the T.V. / You wont read about us in the newspaper / You wont hear about us on the radio / We don’t seek any glory / We don’t wear any uniform / We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles / Most of us work anonymously / We are quietly working behind the scenes / in every country and culture of the world / Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, / in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands / You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice / We go undercover / We remain behind the scenes / It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit / But simply that the work gets done / Occasionally we spot each other in the street / We give a quiet nod and continue on our way / During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs / But behind the false storefront at night / is where the real work takes a place / Some call us the Conscious Army / We are slowly creating a new world / with the power of our minds and hearts / We follow, with passion and joy / Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence / We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking / Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~ / Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites ~ Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness… / We each express ourselves in our own unique ways / with our own unique gifts and talents / Be the change you choose to see in the world / That is the motto that fills our hearts / We know it is the only way real transformation takes place / We know that quietly and humbly we have the / power of all the oceans combined / Our work is slow and meticulous / Like the formation of mountains / It is not even visible at first glance / And yet with it entire tectonic plates / shall be moved in the centuries to come / Love is the new religion of the 21st century / You don’t have to be a highly educated person / Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it / It comes from the intelligence of the heart / Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings / Be the change you choose to see in the world / Nobody else can do it for you / We are now recruiting / Perhaps you will join us / Or already have. / All are welcome / The door is open. / / —-author unknown A dear friend, Carolion Grailbear, sent this to me yesterday via a forwarded email – could not resist it being a part of my Earth Day celebration, and yours… Let’s work together stock earth photo edited in photoshop7 with Redfield plug-in fractilius filter, text and contrast
