Not One Dry Eye and a Collection of Poems - Sharon Diggs
A Compliment Will Do
A compliment will do
The caution of you
Warm dark tall
What a remarkable dude
Cut just right
In places receptive
Of sight to honor
You’re a good specimen
She would say
Strong one here
Who can take his place
Careful about that company
You so secretly keep
Yes I been watching
For maybe a week
Got you on radar
Took my time
Ripe now for the testing
Fill my glass
Lest I thirst for more
A compliment will do
The respect you choose
Take the ball down the court
Run with style and grace
Got something on your mind you say
Let your voice be heard
Shout it heaven high
I heard your style ringing
Like American apple pie
Your kind is so feared
For so many years
Boats will float and smoke will choke
Swim it without that fear
The channel fowl
We go from coast to coast
No I don’t care
Won’t cut my hair
Ask me if I’m lying
A giant in stature
They sometimes say
I’m gentle and free
Communication let’s see
Try to talk to me
Now keep it cool
Can we know each other
I won’t start a fire
Don’t shout
Don’t shoot me now
Don’t you be a coward
You just don’t understand
You never meet my father
For if you did
You know it’s royal
Now let’s all hoop and holler
A compliment will do
Fake Friends
When you were two
You loved to play peek- a- boo
Family Chosen way for you to have fun
Got you past childhood dysfunction
Life couldn’t get better
But now you’re twenty two
With too much world for you
Sometimes you’re happy
Sometimes you’re sad
Pain in those trouble spots
Stress out and feeling blue
Started that game again
Enhanced peek- a- boo
The Ammunition got real
Doctor’s prescription dispensary
Started popping them
Opioids was the chosen pills
Life changing thrills
Before you knew it
You jumped twenty years
Now Forty two
Don’t got a clue
Never understood that phone call for you
Your mom asking about you taking them pills
Take too many you never gonna heal
Asked about those new friends
Got you out late
Have you had enough sleep
Your mind body and soul
Going to waste
Now she consider you needing help
For health and heart
You wouldn’t listen
Popping pills played a part
Out with fake friends
Playing in the park
Woke up today
Just another twenty years
Wasted away
Sixty two now
Still loving that peek- a- boo
Time not to be trusted
Now it’s too late
Can’t warn you about your life
Your fate
All those demons on your plate
You consumed them all
Kept you up too late
Those fake friends of yours
Where are they now?
I’m at your wake
What a wasted life
Such potential but no Faith
Popping those pills
Opioids was not the way
The pain was the pill
Those lying friends
All ran away
Reckless
He walked like a gentleman
Sang like a fool
I was mesmerize
By the essence of Him
Caught by the collarbone
By the first slow dance we took
Yes you
