Layes down between us as i kiss her head.
She just smiles and closes her eyes..."
Really love the picture of that sweet and simple moment you bring to the reader.

Posted: 11/11/2007 2:16:47 PM | FALL INTO ME
I know you feel like your world is caving in
noone knows what you could have been
He has been holding you down for way to long
telling you,you'll never make it,your not strong
I hope you don't mind i've been watching from a far
I think it is about time you were told how beautiful you are
If you want to leave it all behind
If you want to step out of his shadow so you can shine
I've got to tickets and i still know how to smile
Take my hand and i will show you how
When it all falls apart
I'll be right here waiting
When it all comes together
You're heart i'll be anticipating
fall into me
Stop sitting around waiting for another let down
It's time you got what you need,to lose that frown
I know you feel scared and alone
He really did a number and you wish you would have known
Everything he has put you through
You don't know what is real,what is true
You don't think you have the strength to get back up:hold on
I'm good for one more round,you'll see your not alone
You don't have to live in pain
have you ever felt a kiss in the rain
For you and me i have the perfect plan
When it all falls apart
I'll be right here waiting
When it all comes together
Your heart i'll be anticipating
When it all falls apart
I hope you will see
When it all comes together
With me is where you should be
Just close your eyes and fall into me
Fall into me | |

Scream the heredity,swallow it all
Linage is the cause for this fall
Trying to find yourself in your fathers ideologhy
You don't have to follow his decree
open your eyes,let yourself be
Perhaps you ask the wrong questions,your anger trains your thoughts
will you forgive yourself,when you can finally share the fault
Will it be easier if your redemption is just bought
Your mind,heart,and soul must form a alliance
Against the curse,they must stand strong with defience
Do not let the knowledge of your battles dissipate
Let your knowledge,passion,and instinct all congregate
To all your fears you must confess,and then contest
Only then will you see the power you possess | |

I wanted you to know
I still keep your picture in my head
and a extra pillow on the bed
I still remember your touch
and your smile,just as much
You took a chained heart and set it free
After all these years you still move me
I find it harder and harder to start the day
I miss the words you didn't have to say
The way you would play
I miss being mad and you always being right
The way you completed my days,and fulfilled my nights
The way you pushed me to be a better man
always being my biggest fan
Even though i know your in a better place
I'm still selfish and want to touch your face
Rest easy,your memory i will carry on
You may not be here,but i know i'm not alone
In this world happiness is to few
But i can say i was loved by you
I know your watching from above
Rest easy my love
After all the years you still move me | |

Posted: 11/13/2007 1:55:48 PM | I stoke the engines of the great machine
feeling the pressure of all those in between
As the day turns to night and the night turns to day
all of the work and none of the play
kids are playing in the darken streets while the
legitimate heirs are asleep in their beds
i saw midnight and i saw black they went,
and then they came back.
wood piled high wedgies to make
bears to dazzle and moose meat my mistake
once they were settled in their happy homes
I was again left standing
again all alone

Posted: 11/14/2007 6:21:58 PM | ONE CHORD BRIDGE
I want to show you i'm older
all the things i feel inside
the chorus keeps me alive
behind the music lies my life
the strings or my voice
the chords my car
let me take you for a ride
show you the place where i hide
I must remain in ryme
It is my place in time
I want to taste life again
my love is music and my music is you
I want to play your song
until my fingers bleed
I must stay in tune
for the sweetest melody I've ever heard
let me take you for a ride
let the top down and feel alive
we can sing along to the music | |

Posted: 11/15/2007 4:36:24 AM | | By the powerlessness vested in me by the the state of love, I now pronounce you Cain and Metal. Poetry Lives, lusts, hides, dies, and is reborn again between you. You both bring on the unveiled truths of your hearts. Sharing in spite of the walls and obstructions, and defenses, you have done both the impossible made inevitable through poetry. Yea, very remarkable. - BC/Alan | |

| How do you say good-bye
Posted: 11/15/2007 6:41:23 PM | To love out of love
Force myself through the maze
Becouse of us i had to walk away
from everything i love
I have become everything i hate
I don't want to leave you alone
but i must carry on
I don't want to end up hating you
Ican't save you anymore
I have to shut the door
Just let me go,i don't want to live with regret
I love you,but you have to find yourself
Go and find your smile
neither of us should live in denial
I've tried my best to be what you need
but how much do i have to bleed
I will love you until the end
But all i can be is a friend | |

Posted: 11/16/2007 9:36:09 PM | Thanks for coming by bold it's always good to here from you.
IF ONLY/ONLY IF
Forever in my heart
forever in the shadows
Always in my thoughts
Always just a memory
like laying flowers upon the grave
There is love,there is pain
If only tomorrow was more than a word
Only if yesturday was more than my name | |

Posted: 11/17/2007 1:58:52 PM | THE GIFT
Kill me now
So i can live again
Show me how
So i can call you a friend
The leaves have changed,the season is here
Empty smiles,empty cheers
Once a time of meaning and hope
Is now demeaning and tring to cope
Easy come,easy go
The season has made me a pro | |

| TO BUILD A FIRE
Posted: 11/19/2007 7:53:05 PM | MY FINEST HOUR(to ben always believed in you bro)
One more drink,and it will all go away
my kinder memories will come out and play
my daughter doesn't mind watching t.v alone again
she understands i'm not perfect,i'm just a man
besides she's really good about putting herself to bed
one more drink thats all it will take
not tonight,these demons i can't shake
O'kate i wish i could have saved you
How i wish you to be here
now that your gone,i live in fear
our little girl has your strength,your will,your fire
all i have given her is a man who has lost his faith and desire
tonight i'm coming to see you,lacy will be o.k
I just want this pain to go away
As i sat with drink in one hand and pistol in other
I wonder when is the last time i held lacy,told her i love her
Please god help me understand why i'm still here
The door creeps open and a small framed shadow climbs the wall
there stood a seven year old who had been right there with me through it all
she staired at me with a "is this it"look on her face
fighting her emotions,keeping her tears displaced
her eyes asking me to stay,she to could no longer face the day
With my head held low i placed the pistol on the nightstand
tears in my eyes and my shoulders a slouch
I felt two tiny hands touch my face
she wiped the tears from my eyes and raised my chin
when my eyes met hers i felt christ,i saw you
our daughter with the touch of a seasoned mother
She crawled up into my lap
we traded tears and smiles without a bother
after far to long,she had her father
we talked and laughed for what seemed like hours
as her every word drained my pain and all it's powers
I kissed her forehead and thought a perfect moment nothing more to add
then she wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her head on my shoulder
as she whispered welcome back,i love you dad
I held her in my arms and watch her drift to dream
finally she and i had found peace,it would seem
I tucked my daughter into bed,and made this promise
No more ,you will not see anymore of this
My angel,my beautiful angel
I am a father and this will be my finest hour | |
|
| my finest hour..
Posted: 11/20/2007 1:01:44 AM | | All I can say to that one is...nothing! It left me speechless and I am sitting here with my mouth wide open right now, just in awe...in awe...thank you..that was very inspiring. | |

Posted: 11/20/2007 1:03:58 PM | When?
When is it my heart's turn?
To laugh, dance, sing...
Basque in the glory of new-found love?
Which way did he turn?
Where did he go?
When is it my heart's turn?
To skip a beat when he's giving
Me that look?
Which way did he turn?
Where did he go?
When is it my heart's turn?
To be warmed next to his
Bare chest?
Him making me feel oh
So safe and loved?
When will it be my heart's turn?
To run away with someone
Trailing leaves behind us
Leaving loneliness in the Dust
To fend for itself?
When will it be my heart's turn?
To wonder and worry about
My special someone?
He's far away and I am right
Here..praying...
When will it be my heart's turn?
To break and shatter, like fragile
Glass against stone..
And wonder what I did to make
him go away and leave me alone?
Where did he turn?
Where did he go?
Was it a lie? Was it a facade?
Did you really love me? Or
Were you just pretending? | |

Posted: 11/20/2007 1:57:18 PM | A fire is only a fire....when once built...
brings desire
Nothing like a blue blue flame
to paralyze a lovely rain!
Let me sing in sweet mist
may I know of what I ingest?
Toxic memories or more?
Digesting something uglier?
I want to only swallow whole
the midst that makes my memory
more
For swallows...are a bird....
you see!
They live within.....
all souls...creep
within what all have wept and known!
Swallows.....hover
souls are small. | |

| To build a fire - to hold a fire in my heart forever
Posted: 11/23/2007 3:03:10 PM | if our only future is the memory of this moment
as we touch now, givng and receiving
then, again, again, with that same measure
upon return to memory we shall receive the same BC 11/07 | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:41:05 AM | thanks for stoping by celestial,feel free to come by anytime i enjoy your poems very much.bold,great to see you come out of hiding.true as always(to hold a fire...).
REQUIEM
What do you turn
where does it burn
where does your heart lie
a true friend knows how to say goodbye
where is your moment that noone can steal
the place you go to heal
sandy white beaches with fresh air appeal
a church that knows no names
cool fall saturdays and childrens games
snow covered mountain peeks in december
watching doves take flight and feeling like a member
some of the best moments are the ones alone
where thoughts can roam
uninterupted,guiding us home | |

| To build a fire
Posted: 11/25/2007 11:30:48 PM | Pine needles lay upon the clay;
dead clay dirt...of graves.
Innocent souls wander aimlessly;
upon the dirt ...the clay of thee.
Beautiful spirits ...gone years past.
Lives that lived more life...than we have had!
Memories build with the graves that abound;
upon all of that lovely...red clay ..dirt ground.
My heart has a life there......
memories dear.
Love has a meaning.....my heart has no fear!
Forever was forever....back in the day!
My heart stays steadfast....Mama wants it that way! | |

| To build a fire - as we gather our wood
Posted: 11/26/2007 5:35:43 AM | if the wood is dry, it burns hot for you
while sweet in the moment of yearning
under the moon the owl asks “who?”
will look at the cinders and recall a fire burning
so hard to start a fire when the wood is green
even as we are shivering
there is more smoke than fire, I mean
the promise is not delivering
so as we gather our wood
let us take care, my lover
that it is, seasoned and good
such that it will warm us forever
