Small Bits of Poetry and Verse
by Ed Stargazer

The Winds

the winds have changed direction
storm clouds loom on the horizon
whether the coming winds are favorable or not
they will still leave change in their wake

What was whole might be torn apart
what was asunder might be rewoven
friends will come and friends will go
no person will be left untouched

You can stand before the winds and curse them
but they pay you no heed
You can cower before its gusts
they continue as if you do not exist

Even the most fervent desires are not considered
only the simple truth
What is, IS
and you must accept that

Real

The nights are long and empty
the light of the screen inviting
knowing it isn't real
just words and fancy writing
but longing for a touch
sitting alone in the night
pretending someone does care
somehow makes it right
until the worst does happen
as you logon today
your special one has found another
and simply tossed you away
the emptiness returns again
how is it you can feel
worse than you ever had before
from something thats not real

What is Me?

What is reality anyway
just something that we see
but of all the things that I have been
which one was truly me?
to my parents, I'm a son
to my daughter, I'm her dad
to my ex, I'm simply just
another lover that she's had
to those that I know in chats
I can act just like a god
while many I have known in life
simply think me odd
it cleared up one gray morning
finally straight within my head
I am each and every one of those
because each one is Ed
