Lookin’
By bobby7


I’ve been searchin’ left and right, reading’ profiles through the night
I didn’t stop until the crack of dawn.
There’s some lovely ladies here, but not for me, I fear
And I think I may have waited just too long.

There are gals, I will admit, who can crank it up a bit
With jokes and smiles that make me want to laugh
This ain’t no field of clover, my life is halfway over
I want to find a gal to share the other half

I’m not lookin’ for a quickie, and I’m really not that picky
I just want a gal who has a lot of class
I’m a classy guy myself, just sittin’ on the shelf
I’d be a real good partner to some lass.

So if you still are lookin’, an’ if you like home cookin’,
You just might want to look at my profile
I’m revved up, but not frantic. and I am a real romantic
And I like to start my day off with a smile.

I’m kinda new at this, but I’d love a hug and kiss
From a gal that makes my heart skip a beat.
Cause, if she feels like me; What a couple we could be!
And I’m tired of livin’ here, on Lonely Street…

The poem above was read by the lady who will visit me next week..

It was fate that borught her to that particular thread, and fate that
made me write and post it..

i like it... and congrats bibby... to you and the lucky
lady...

I wrote this a couple of weeks after my Bobby and I met, when I was
still a little unsure of us. All I knew was that it felt right. Now I
know it is, and I'm glad I opened my heart up to it. Love is worth the
risk.

I Open My Heart

My world is sane now
But for how long
Can I keep the treasure I've found
Without making it wrong

As long as I keep
My feet on the ground
Do you think my head
Can stay in the clouds

My heart has held
Only me for so long
Can I make room for more
One more life, one more song

I open my heart
And I let you come in
Hoping you know that where you are
No one has ever been

That is a lovely poem.. I sure like the emotion in it, and
in the realtionship that followed the writing..

Bev and Robert...Salaut!!

The Day Is Fast Approaching
by: Bobby7
The day is fast approaching, an important place in time.
'T'was three years ago this April, that you said you would be mine.
For months before, I questioned love, and doubts ran through my head.
And then, one fine December day, you told me we could wed.

You made all my dreams come true, when we married in our home.
From then, until the day we die, we'll never be alone.
It seemed I waited all my life, for someone just like you.
And the instant that I saw your face, my waiting days were through.

Because you are, without a doubt, an angel in disguise,
With your silken skin, your flowing hair, and gorgeous sky blue eyes.
We were meant to be together, there's no doubt in my mind.And, were I to
search the world, a girl like you, I'd never find.

(Or, until drugs come knocking)

Thank you for sharing your beautiful poetry bobby, it truly touches and
moves me. I think you know that I am a very sensitive and passionate
woman. The one about Love, true love, was the one that moved me this
time. I have a lot of admiration and respect for you and your ability
to express your self, your knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and your
character, in poetry.

its a wonderfull gift ya got there my friend

Bobby you are truly a wonderfull man and i love the way you speak with
your soul

i love you my friend

I am deeply touched by your very kind words, my friends..

I salute you, and will try to find a way to thank you in verse..

Just Say Hi..
By Bobby7

One day while surfing on the 'net', something different caught my eye
And I found myself on a dating site which the folks called, "Just Say
Hi,

So, I did, and I am glad, cause on this site I found,
Some really friendly people: Yes, There are still some around.

I met up with some old friends too, who found this awesome place
And I my heart was filled with happiness, with each familiar friendly
face.

I found the one who's right for me while surfing on the 'net'
If it hadn't been for dating sites, I know we never would have met.

I watched other loves grow blossoms here, and I saw some new loves bloom
For months, I've watched the miracles that have happened in this room.

There are those of you who don't believe that love will be found here
I can tell you that it happens, And, I want to make it clear

Love is all around you, and, it will find you, by and by
And I know that love is hanging 'round the site called Just Say Hi

So don't give up! I almost did, and I'm so glad I stayed
My God gave me the miracle, the love, for which I prayed.

Sherrie..

(((((((((((B)))))))))))))))))

I am glad to see I am not alone in finding someone here. Congrats Bibby
and enjoy what life has offered.

Thanks, Creation and Gryphyn..

I am enjoying the ride immensely..

These Men
by Bobby7

I just spent an hour inside a room that was filled with men like me.
If pain had colour; in that room, there's a rainbow you could see.
The stories of these tortured souls could fill a hundred shelves.
But the plot's the same, for just like me, they're all searching for
themselves.

Alcohol controls our minds, and tears apart our lives.
It takes from us, all we hold dear, friends, families, cherished wives.
It devours, with impunity, our health and souls; this cursed; Alcohol...
And no matter where you are in life, it, too, can make you fall.

So, here we are, at our last stand, we wish to banish alcohol.
We want our lives back, as they were, before booze made us fall.
It can be done! We've seen the proof, at each meeting we attend.
And we really can reclaim our lives, if we just listen to these men.

They paid their dues, and suffered pain, the pain we all feel now.
And, if we really wish to free ourselves, these men can show us how.
Perhaps we needn't walk the miles these alcoholics trod.
If, we but listen to their message,

and trust our lives to God.

We Shall Survive
For; Tammy Des Shanes


In days of old, when spells were cast.
That's when I met you; In the past.
Down valleys green, over misty hills,
Your spirit soars, it always will.

When monarchs ruled, and dragons roared,
The knights set forth with shield and sword.
They gave their lives to keep us free,
And save the world for you and me.

Gaze into your crystal ball,
And you'll see armies rise and fall.
You can witness worlds collide,
Or surf the never ending tide.

Though you've passed on, you're with me yet.
A love like yours, I can't forget.
I loved you then, and I still do.
And every day, I dream of you.

We'll meet again, dear, you and I.
Perhaps not under earth's blue sky.
But no matter where or when,
I'll love you still, as I did then.

As long as love remains alive...
You and I, my love...
We Shall Survive
