Faith Based Poetry Posted: 11/22/2009 11:15:43 AM
Why do I crawl When you created me to run I constantly walk into darkness When I know I should be treading in the Son My faith My struggle You know all I was created to be You are my refuge My fortress built to protect me My heart you will never break You perfect love made specially for me All my life You have been at my side Even if in my sins I have tried to hide Yet you love me For every thing that I am You are my peace And one day we shall meet In Eternity

I want to share my soul and words with some one true Posted: 11/22/2009 11:07:35 AM
In our twisted wants and needs I search for one that searches for me Yes beauty does count in the spaces of my mind Yet I want to share my soul and words with some one true In a world aglow, shallow puddles we all know In times I feel as, I will drown in my loneliness After all we all are lonely in our own ways Some quest for Gray, while I search on for the light You see I know somewhere, you are the one created for me Oodles of hearts clashing in the act of finding Love Real people with aspirations of grandeur Sterile hearts beating, in hopes of finding a cure A cure to find completion, for you see one plus one Does in fact make two In an odd world we search one who will make us even Hearts with scar’s , minds with warped hinges All searching for true love amongst the fringes Fringes of balance when one might make two We all long to cure this boredom, perhaps I long for you I have found some that I thought were close to me Upon closer inspection, found myself at an intersection Where truth grows into sick flowers that seem to need So much water to sprout and grow I need a heart that searches after the Son Know myself enough to know I struggle and fall below the lines In all that I know My heart wishes to find one With beauty inside her heart Sprinkled with a little grace And a smile plastered on her face For I search for you Yet I try and follow him as well I do not wish to find you and loose My faith in him Yet it truly is a struggle For I am two people One is strong in all that I believe The other one wishes so much to test me So in all this I search for balance I want to find you Grow with you into the night But not loose him in my sight So if you can see that part of me Perhaps we might find each other And walk upon the Sea In our twisted wants and needs I search for one that searches for me Yes beauty does count in the spaces of my mind Yet I want to share my soul and words with some one true

My Prayer Posted: 11/15/2009 5:46:55 AM
I have been on the run For some time now Chasing my tail Scurrying around In what seems like a circle You were there for me When I was down and out When all others held the knife To my neck You were the one to Rescue me Deliver me Hold me up Why did I run again Was it the new sense of freedom I know the right way Why do I still slip Into ways I know are wrong I know that you see me All that I am The challenges that I have The shackles That still remain So why do I choose To look for love Outside of your arms Why When I know That lust Does not equal love Sure it will fill The tank Yet it leaves me feeling empty I am whole When I am with you I feel at peace When I am beside you So why this desire I look for a woman To hold onto me Make me feel again Is it love Is it real You are true The love you offer Is not conditional It matters not What I have You see All that I am All that I will be My faults My heart Do I run from you After seeing her Lace up her Runners Who am I in all of this You know Will you finally let me in On the Secret I want to tell you That I am back with you By your side Never to stray Yet you know The constant struggle That I am human after all Really how many times Do I say I am sorry Truly mean it And then fall away From you again Why Am I So weak When I should be so strong In you After all that you have Done for me You Love me As I am You created me To be so much more So here I sit Looking to you Asking For my Eve Again Trusting In all That I believe For all my faults You Love me still I am giving my self over To your will

Is it wrong to long for Posted: 11/12/2009 9:25:52 PM
Is it wrong to long for The scent of a woman To feel the heat of your body Pressed between the sheets To want to kiss the back of your neck As I lay behind you Something more To have someone to communicate with On life, love and dive into deeper waters with What are your thoughts on God Cause I really long to hear them The perfect hand placed in mine Soft lips that taste like Caramel Honesty above all l A union of bliss tangled up in this

Maybe it's all make believe Posted: 11/11/2009 6:55:08 AM
In this humdrum world we look for so much more I think somewhere along the way We lost our hero’s, true role models So now we are left to honor Things that are an illusion of sorts The Superhero The Wizards The Witches Even some Vampires Where did all the real heroes go The ones from days of old Did we wake up and realize That the ones we all created Were not all that we once believed I met one Funny at the time he was my be all end all All that I strived to be, well not true Had a Little Mickey worked in Nine and a half weeks Need I say more Well When standing face to face With my then hero The one that seemed to know all that I felt Had the words I longed for He was strung out and I was tossed over a pool table At the idea of a handshake Then as I looked into it He never knew the words Someone else wrote them At the time I thought he was sexy man Whom I wanted to learn from To use all his tricks on the ladies Turns out he was a loser Trapped in a rock stars body It makes you think about life and what you believe about anything What is Love Is it ever Pure Will it last Or is it more like Fireworks Short brilliant A whole bunch of stars Bangs And then its all gone Maybe everything in life Is actually make believe Maybe I am searching for something That not true What is a hopeless Romantic to do!

Depeche Mode It's Called a Heart Posted: 11/1/2009 7:58:27 AM
There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart You know how easy it is to tear it apart If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart There's a sun shining in the sky But that's not the reason why I'm feeling warm inside The answer isn't classified- it's my heart From the moment I started I tried to be good about it Yes I've tried my best And more or less, I spoke from my heart There's a lot to be learned And you learn when your heart gets burned There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart You know how easy it is to tear it apart If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart Hearts can never be owned Hearts only come on loan If I want it back I will take it back I'll take my heart But I will try my best And more or less I will speak from my heart Yes, I will speak from my heart Speak from my heart There's a lot to be learned And you learn when your heart gets burned There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart You know how easy it is to tear it apart If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly There's something beating here inside my body And it's called a heart

This heart beats Posted: 11/1/2009 7:44:43 AM
This heart beats just for one I wish to be a fly Caught in your web spun These eyes spy all that could be I have decided to move into the deep waters Praying that you will find me After all I believe in Love Soul mates.. Romance tis true For after all this heart beats for you So I hope you can find me For it is cold within the deep water And I am lost in this sea If you believe communication, romance and are smart You will be able to trace this back to me For if you are the one follow your heart Rambling Prose Spelling and grammar truly a mess Still so much to get of my chest This heart beats for one so true Serendipity Love Star Crossed Lovers ensue Just know I press on In my search for you For after all this heart Beats

First Line, Last Line (Part Deux) Posted: 10/30/2009 10:23:57 AM
the end is near some preach from a point of fear love is true if you would only look out side the boxes that hold us all I have never found a religion that say's kill them all if you would only look past the people to the message held within you might get past the fear and sin and find the true beauty buried within we are the ones that hold love and peace in our hands if we would only learn to share it we would destroy the shame of man

My special heart Posted: 10/27/2009 10:50:31 PM
Please be the one to put your finger on this leaking heart It's such a tiny hole yet I feel it emptying my soul It has so much love to give Yet I am frightened that I might die Before I find the missing piece Fragmented in so many ways As I search for your delicate hands To soften the ache deep within A puzzle almost complete As I search for that last missing calm of the waterfall You see these things do take time And never seem to come with instructions Only a picture of what might be I gaze at a waterfall cascading into the sea Arms to love A heart that wishes to skip A mind I wish to share with someone To find that secret that everyone longs for To grow with that special person I imagine myself years from now Truly writing for the one I adore, that somehow I cannot get out of my mind That has a true look of love in her eyes Whom I will finally walk with hand in hand Love for a woman And Love for a man So I will journey on searching for you In my own strange way Just like Cinderella I will look for you The one with the perfect fingers To hold onto my heart One that will savor it right from the start My special heart

Hidden Heart Posted: 10/25/2009 1:26:16 PM
I have kept my heart hidden for so long I have forgotten how it beats How it sounds when it goes pitter patter It used to be so free Larger than life itself It would shine so bright it would eclipse the Sun Little parts have been given away With time I have filled in the gaps Love is beautiful yet sometimes it zaps Takes time to heal the disappointment Like stained glass it has been sectioned up Still radiant and beautiful just need some attention Time to take out the Windex Polish it .. clean away the after math Hell it was even a little dark so I gave it a bath Crazy Heart being reborn Taking it out of that heart shaped box Coffin like in nature ... death of the chicken P.O.X I hope that you can see how beautiful We can be When you open up this hidden heart You will See!

I wish you would take off your costume Posted: 10/24/2009 1:09:05 PM
Sure you look beautiful You captivate my spirit Make me tingle in my naughty bits I want to know more of the real you Yet you seem to be wearing a costume A mask to hide your true self I guess I cannot blame you For after all we live in a world of deception The boots you have on give the illusion of being taller Hues of brown and Red seem to hide your true colors Contacts that hide the real eye color Perky perfect breasts, yet the do not seem real Painted on lips Thickened eyelashes A blouse that drops to allow for a hint Slacks that hug your ass like shrink wrap A smile that seems to hide what you are truly thinking Conversations based in what I would like to hear More than your real thoughts Your real ideas trapped inside Trying to be who you think I want So many of us wear these costumes Pretend to be something that we are not by nature I understand the need to protect yourself Yet I wish to know the real you I stand before you as pretty as I get With all my faults And Scar’s exposed for all to see It is not that I wish to never dress up Just know the time and the place I fear that if we both wear costumes We may never get to know the real people we are And find in time that we are standing once again In years to come wondering what happened I want you to dress up In that Green Dress Those boots that make you taller than me In that Red Lipstick With those stockings hidden underneath But for now I want to see you Naked Before me

You will need a bigger Bowl Posted: 10/17/2009 8:48:35 AM
I am still so fresh and new to all this As I peer into your Cupboard I really start to think that You can learn a lot about a person By what is kept hidden behind closed doors I see a large mix of Cereal Alpha Bits Bigg Mix Buc Wheats Cereal Buzz Blasts Cocoa Puffs Comet Balls Circus fun Nerds Smorz Diamond Shreddies Frosted Flakes Kix Koko Krunch Count Chocula Buc Wheats Cereal G.I Joe Mickey’s Magix C-3Po’s California Raisins OJ’s Sir Grapefellow Crazy Flakes Frosties Golden Nuggets Grape Nuts Honey Bunches of Oats Lucky Charms Monopoly So I start to wonder are we the right mix You seem to be looking for everything and anything to suite your taste If you look in mine you might be surprised to find Smart Start Good Friends Complete Balance Total Life You see I am not a Cereal dater I do not wonder how Breakfast with Barbie would be Or how Yummy Mummy’s taste So If you are a Cereal Dater perhaps you will need a bigger Bowl Because I am not Cap’n Crunch Cheerios

The Stranger I have become Posted: 10/11/2009 2:23:34 PM
I remember a time When you would bounce me on your knee Tell me you Loved me That I was a special child You would take the time To make me Mickey Mouse Pancakes from scratch Take out the sprinkles and cover them Just for me I look back to a time When you would make Current Buns Just for me When you knew I was coming over When the two of us would sit up all night Playing cards, dice and laughing the stars away We would talk of love, poetry And you would Kiss me gently with your soft lips I remember how proud you were To have me drive three hours Just to clean out the gutters And do other things that you both needed done I Love you almost more than my Mother Which is to say a lot Now I sit and you look at me With Blank eyes We no longer can have the talks we once had You have lost the wisdom to play fish You often ask who I am With a fearful look upon your face It is you now that holds on to your bear Talks with it I still love you and remember all that you were and are Yet some how I am lost to you I will treasure all the precious memories of you I now watch as one becomes all that you were to me To my daughter and it fills me with Joy I Love you Grama And even if you do not understand it I will always be your special boy Even if it is hard for me to be The Stranger I have become I Love you and you will never be A stranger to me

Again Posted: 10/11/2009 1:49:35 PM
I am knocking down the bricks Slow like a Snail That have formed like a Tower Around my Heart You see it was me after all That placed these Masonry Blocks Piece by Piece Higher and higher To Keep Love out I hope that you understand It was instinctual Call it protection For there was a mighty Fire deep within My Being They say once bitten Twice shy What truly happens When you were Shy to begin with And you were bitten, heck even chewed on So yes I mixed up the Concrete slurry Laid the foundation Placed the Bricks one by one Reinforced it with Steel To protect my heart from hurt Now I am in a different place I have taken my time to heal the hurt Mourned the loss and pain Feel refreshed like water to a Desert Some may say re-birth I would say freedom with grace Now I have the work gloves on The Sledgehammer in hand Making a decision to knock down This fortress I have made So I can live, Love and be happy I raise up the Hammer Smash Brick by Brick One Brick at a time And soon my heart will Shine Again

I will travel any road to find you Posted: 10/10/2009 9:37:49 PM
So again it seems I set out on this dusty road Once again I have come to a crossroad One way looks pristine The other dim and murky in its way Decisions need to be made Which way am I to go I find the stubborn side of me Looking down the one on the left My analytical side Says the right way is all that is left The wind from that direction Seems to blow a sweet and gentle breeze I have journeyed so far in search of you Felt the bumpy road and all its pitfalls Fallen and scraped my knees On the Gravel roads Walked down streets Dim and dark and all alone Lost my way To many times to really know Sure along the way I have look at the map Yet not really paid any attention To the direction I wished to go Just more concerned with the scenery Then the substance Never even considered thinking Am I wearing the right kind of shoes for this After all will the blisters be my only memory Of the path I choose I have focused so long on the journey That perhaps I forgot To check if I was truly ready For the walk For the commitment of my own enjoyment I look around and see happy couples Is it all just a myth Maybe it is all an illusion Now that I think about Maybe that is why I cannot find you on the map Are you out there Walking with Blisters In search of self In search of me If you are and you can hear my words Know that I will press on threw space and time My heart is yours and I hope yours is mine For I will travel any road to find you

I feel the heat of the oven You think I do not see it Hidden under the Tea Towel It's shiny .. to large to hide I watch as you prepare Dicing up the onions Chopping the Carrots Washing the Potatoes Scrubbing them clean You think I am oblivious to your ways I see you making the bread crumbs by hand Pulling out all your spices Peeling the Cranberries You think as I lay here I do not see all that you Are looking to do to me I might be guullllaablleee Oh I now I see it The bustier Poke me with a fork I think I am done Just another Turkey :) (Thanks for the look... have a great weekend)

The problem with plagiarizing yourself Posted: 10/7/2009 7:39:25 PM
In my quest for breath For life For romance I find my words mingle somewhere in my mind I noticed that I repeat the same ideas Feelings, desires, wants and needs Can you steal from yourself? For my hand is in my own cookie jar Complete me Never I am complete on my own Dominate me never Be subservient to me never Stand your ground please Can I take all that back now Just kidding never would It is funny I am very careful with what I say When speaking Yet I am finding this interesting As I read back on things said, Ideas Creativity, letting my mind flow Where ever it wants to lead me in this Creative process I must find somewhere else to do this For I just want to write Feel the inspiration Let the words flow Without regard for anyone just to express what is in my mind at the time Oh did I mention that I can type really really fast, faster than most people that sit In front of this screen. So yes sometimes I spell wrong The phrasing is not quite right It is dizzy I love it This is passion Do I wish to write for someone? Instead of writing for the idea Of love and passion I have written on here For women I have seen Been around Wanted to say the words to Yet they will sadly never Hear the words or see them Most of the time they are for me I write for my daughter whom Is still way to young to read It is more just to create Within this vastness of internet land Perhaps I need to take the time to find A real place to write and express myself I long for communication within this corner Of my wicked garden Yet I am not finding it And I long for it

Can She Kiss Posted: 10/6/2009 8:16:57 PM
Is it wrong to peer into your eyes and long for it? Do you not feel my eyes reaching out for you? I long to taste of your lips Feel your silky tongue dance with mine To feel your lips pressed against mine Some might think I am insecure I want to crash into you like a freight train Not pushy just a little shy Why does it seem like Chess? I know that I might be white But who said it is I that must move first Are we not in a new age? I long to hold you Tight in my arms Boldly pressing bodies So close you can feel friction Sparks of the Skin Can you not see I am set? In my blocks Patiently.. Waiting... yearning For the starting pistol Do not misunderstand me I do not wish to race Speed is not the out come It is the journey The Marathon I wish to race with you Hand in Hand Really just longing to know Is this chemistry real? Do you feel it? Yet most of all Thinking ....man I want to taste her lips Does she know how sexy she is? That is the cutest nose I have ever seen She seems really great so far But can she Kiss ......................................

One Last Hill Posted: 10/3/2009 10:26:18 AM
Dark and ominous clouds approaching form the North A grayish kind of hue The chill rips threw the body like chainsaws on high Lips are turning blue I cannot seem to feel my face Numb Snot running down my face My hands are so cold like I have been holding a ghost Townie size snowflakes fall from the looming sky Still not enough to brush the smile from my face Funny Blue Monday plays in my ears On this Cold Saturday morning Wanting to call it a day Oh wait this song has inspired me to climb that hill The one that looks to steep almost seems to reach heaven Is it Prince .. Is it me … Is it the adrenaline running in me So I settle in to my seat made for one Breathe in deep Make sure no one else is coming up behind me Sneaking like someone who wants to steal second Look up ward No I do not see anyone crazy enough To come down here Is it the Cold Or is everyone else just sleeping the day away So like a Bull Rider I settle in my seat Push myself one last time Start the song again Peddle forward Get my balance Look one last time Nope no one So I make my trek up the hill that I should leave till next year Clear my mind other than what is in front of me Think to myself I love this song And I am a Sexy Mother ****er Just me Prince And one last ride on my Uni

Learning to Breathe Posted: 9/30/2009 6:47:03 PM
Breathe the breath of this life Exhale all the stress and strife Take time to search out your dreams Find a place for quite amongst all the screams Help each other with all that you do Take time to be nice for that is the glue That holds humanity together even if it’s not always tight Make a change in your life perhaps start tonight Pass on good feelings till it over flows into grace For we are all keepers of this human race So be kind and take time to hold open that door If you’re hit with negative let it go or it will leave you sore So breathe in this life for all that it may be Exhale the negative and feel the glee Be good to yourself in unselfish ways If you learn this long will be your days

Rhyming Couplets....fancy a go?.... Posted: 9/29/2009 8:39:45 PM
If love is a sweet wine then please poor me a sip You see the waters are warm and I want a dip Hearts been dormant for so long want it to skip You see you look so sexy as you bit your lip Want to change the record tired of the blues Do not wish for short term or some clues Thrive for time in and passably some dues If love is a game than hand over the cues You see for at some point it must be my shot Not asking for perfection just want to know what you got All the things you might be and some that I am not Love is something given, never bought (hope this is ok)

What are your thoughts? Posted: 9/27/2009 1:57:43 PM
Thank you for all of your ideas on the subject... I will also pick up that book as well. I do not mind the occasional nap with dad. Having said that a nap with dad on the couch while we watch Dora is ok. After all my bed is for me lol, and as parents I am sure some of you understand how much sleep you need to keep up with a little one. Again thank you all for your ideas on this subject. We did re-arrange her room today to the way she likes it maybe that will help :)

I am often curious Posted: 9/27/2009 1:44:19 PM
I have to say that I ponder What is the truth that lies beyond us all You see we search for something more meaningful In ways of friendship within a relationship I often see that women prefer us with our shirts on That they wish us to have passion and a job To be a pillar, a man of honor and truth Yet have we forgotten the world that we live within It prizes betrayal, dishonesty If you were to ask someone that is wealthy beyond means Would they be honest enough to say they have cheated Lied and maimed others along the path to riches If we were to do what we were passionate about would women still find us worthy When we are making twelve dollars an hour At a job we are passionate about I also wonder why it is that women Seem to have pictures with skimpy clothing on Searching for a real man who will fall for only them As well as treat them as classy ladies Does this not seem like a paradox I myself want to find the prize After it is unwrapped You see all of us men do want A fox, yet we also want a sheep Many women do not wish to cook Or do not wish to be looked upon as an object I cannot figure this one out If you do your self up in a way that makes you look sexy Do you not understand you will get the skuz balls coming after you Sure it also draws the attention of us nice guys As well, yet it also scares us off I am not trying to be confrontational Just curious to the whys and how’s I am not trying to stereotype Men or Women It just seems strange to me Why when we are all searching for something more Are some of us putting up unrealistic expectations Verbally as well as pictorially That seems to be counterproductive For our end goal

The Moon Posted: 9/26/2009 8:49:22 AM
Last night as I put my little one to bed We prepared with the blanky Dolly in tow Sat on the couch with her heart pillow I cracked a book I read it softly It is Called Goodnight Moon I looked on to watch her eyes swoon We said good night to the mittens the spoon and kittens goodnight to the mouse and the doll house As we walked off to bed She stopped opened the sliding patio door And said Goodnight Moon I love hearing her say I love you Daddy Yet that was the cutest thing she has ever said (Goodnight moon by Margaret Wise Brown)

What are your thoughts? Posted: 9/26/2009 8:19:24 AM
I recently moved and now when I have my daughter, she keeps getting up really early and coming and crawling into bed with me. This never happened before, why now? I am thinking that it may be a new environment. I have tried going in and sleeping on her floor, till she falls back asleep. Yet it seems to continue? Of course it is nice to cuddle with your child but when they are getting up at 5 in the morning. I am finding that she is tired all day as a result. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Love Is Posted: 9/26/2009 7:53:49 AM
Love is a feeling Like none other It stirs up the mind Makes your heart start to flutter Love is a Wave That beats on hearts door Its motion is a high As it pound on your shore Love is amazing in all it glory It writes its own chapter In helps you get by Two hearts in just one story Love is passion With thoughts of your Lover It floats on ideas under the covers And if you’re not careful it may go out of fashion Love is something we all crave You cannot reach it unless you are brave Brave enough to let go Allow your self to dive in Love is toxic I would taste its hue You infect me And I’ll infect you Love can make you crazy This can be good and bad Depends how you handle it Most of all it makes you glad Love is a better place When you fell all burnt out Love is all about grace It can make you so happy you’ll want to shout Love is a dream If you build it brick by brick Love is mesmerizing Sometimes it may make you sick Love is kissing Just because you feel it deep in your soul Love is patient Love is working together for a common goal Love is like holding Close to your heart So close you feel like it might slip Love is wanting to start Love is like flying If you’ll trust in each other ways You never know where it will take you Love is action despite what others say Love is Sweet like Cinnamon Love can make you do strange things In ways you never thought you would It makes you wonder if you’ve been drinking Gin Love burns With fire deep within Its warmth can be felt Deep under your skin Love lifts you to new heights If you find someone who loves in return Just remember to hold on Not so tight that you get some kind of burn Love is about communication So learn to talk with trust If you don’t learn to communicate Your love will rust Love is about acceptance Taking each other as you are It doesn’t matter what you have Or even the size of your car Love is precious So if you find it hold on For if you abuse it You will find that its gone Love is believing That two can become one Love is the moon and the stars With the heat of the sun Love is beauty When you cannot look any where but at her All you see is her The other ones start to blur Love is dirty If you find a person who will roll in the mud Nothing is sexier than a dirty girl With out a little dirt how do you know you’ve got a stud Love is kinky When you have the right mix of two If you pull out the masks Or paint your lover Blue Love is special Like a shiny new toy Makes you smile from ear to ear You are encapsulated in pure joy Love is knowing someone has your back When the world has come down And all you feel is under attack Love is holding on to each other even if you crack Love is better when you have someone To share all your fears To give all your gifts to Most of all to hold you in tears Love is music When you’re in each others arms Even when no one else hears the music Let go and give into loves charms Love caring In ways the other will never expect Love is giving room But most of all respect Love is listening When your lover just wants an ear To talk about troubles of the day Some times listening means you’ll have nothing to say Love is wanting Your lover to live out dreams Helping them in anyway you can Love is peace amongst the screams Love is…………………………………….. (sorry not really finished lol work in progress, will come back to it.) (P.S please feel free to write in here as well anyone)

Of all the things I want Posted: 9/2/2009 1:20:33 PM
I will be your cowboy If you will be my cowgirl I will be your Superhero (not Superman) If you will be my Super girl I will be the one to hold you up If you stumble and fall I will be the shoulder to cry on If you have tears to let out I will be the one you can be whole with If you are ready to work on this I will be the one you can count on If you are ready to be counted on I will be the one to show you chivalry If you are not a total princess I will be the one to lend you my cap If you want to take a hair day I will be the one to kiss you with passion If your lips are only for me I will be the one to hold you If you are ready to hold on to me I will be part of the team If you are ready to play with me I will be the one to do unexpected things If you also like to show how you care I will be the one to fight for you If you need some back up I will tell you when you are wrong If you will tell me when I am wrong to I will carry the world with you As long as you are willing to work as a team I will learn how to communicate with you If you learn along with me, what make both of us tick I will be the one to take care of you when you are not well If you need me to make you some soup I will be honest without a fault If you will also, no matter the cost I will be patience when you need some If you will also learn to work with me I will not make you happy For after all it is you that holds that card I will make you smile, when I am just being silly If you know how to let go, and enjoy life I will be a partner in crime If you will plan it with me Of all the things I want most of all I want Truth.............

It's in a box here somewhere Posted: 9/1/2009 7:36:12 PM
Life hands you curve balls all the time Just when you think you have figured out the game The all seeing sends in another pitcher I have been so busy Looking for somewhere to lay my head down Who knew it would be this hard To find a place that my daughter and I could call home Who knew the plans I had made meticulously Would all fall by the way side I guess God knew I thought I had it all figured out Hard work, with a dash of patience Openness, Willingness to make it work In the end I guess he knew it before I began After all it must be part of his master plan So now I have finally found a nice place Packed up all that was left behind The thing with packing is you always need to find something In at least one of those darn boxes Before you fishing moving How many times can you unpack the same box In the process of moving you tend to get rid of the junk Well you keep some lol Who cares if I will never fit into those Jim Morrison pants again They still make me laugh at whom and what I thought I was at that age Packed a big box with an X Left that one behind I can’t wait to move in and have my special girl over Make her Mickey Mouse Pancakes Like Grandma used to make Oh and I am sure when I do She will be looking at me funny when I use some cardboard To flip our Pancakes, cause after all it still works I will look back at her when she says "Why Daddy" I will say “the Spatula is hiding in a box somewhere in here" She will smile And I will start to understand some of his Master Plan

You are like a rose Posted: 8/24/2009 11:34:05 PM
You are like a rose With sharp thorns You pierce my heart with your rad iance You Capt ivate me With your luminous pedals You make me sparkle With Your Beauty You draw me in With your fresh ness You Pull me closer With your fragrance you beckon me You are a Rose What color are you I have yet to see Your being takes me in With all that you have to offer You are a Rose Yet I must tread slowly For if I move to fast You might bring me your thorns Your brilliance takes me Perhaps I will water you And watch how you bloom For you are like a Rose I must Give You Room

Why? Posted: 8/17/2009 3:18:24 PM
Your kisses are like strawberries The innocence radiating from your eyes Your grin holds a resemblance to me Your sweetness comes from a part of me The funny way you hug Fills me with Joy overflowing When others don't want to play with you Come to me for that is all I wish to do You say I’m a big girl with such pride I Love you more than my arms stretched wide When you try and run, it looks so awkward One day honey you will learn to fly like a bird The Love you give me is so special in everyway I Love you more each and every single day You are my Angel, Princess, the one I adore As I watch you grow, I will Love you More As I hold you gently in my arms When you have fallen asleep in the car I make a wish for you on the nighttime star Sometimes you might be away from me Yet know you are never far I think of you each and every single day Why Because you are my Child Why Because I am proud to be your Dad Why Because you are very special to me Why Because you are my little girl Why Because I love you in ways I never knew Why Because you are always asking WHY?

After all you are the best part of me Posted: 8/14/2009 9:10:05 PM
Lately I have felt so lost in the darkness Bump the head Stub the toe Where I am headed I will never know Just a dark night No starry skies All alone With my worries No glow or candles To light my path Lost in darkness How long will this last They say no man is an island Yet I feel the cold push of the shore The tide is high And I feel so sore Forks in the road all around me This way that way When will I just be Living in the moment just you and me Fatherless Emptiness Lost at sea Waiting till you float back to me Knots in the stomach Leaches all around No true people I’ve been cast out to sea Lately I feel so lost in the darkness Multitudes of dark nights No candles Matches Even a Bic Want to get past this Find happier days Mend the heart and mind Find light in my days Soon my love I will have more time with thee My heart rips out When you are away from me Lost in the darkness Yet we almost have peace True patience waits I wait for thee After all you are the best part of me

The Muddle of the mind Posted: 8/1/2009 10:35:16 PM
I am sorry father Again I have seemed to lost my way Foggy lives alone I have played For I heard your voice all along the way I turned my eyes from you Fell into the life I do not wish to live Should have looked for your love and all that you give You see father with all my hurt Your arms were there to hold me close Yet I felt like peanut butter Started searching for my toast Father I am sorry for I forgot to pray To listen for your soft wisdom And to what you might say I walked away from all that I knew What is a man supposed to do My heart alone and empty Something I never could fill I looked around and swallowed that pill The one that was shiny The one that felt good Even now I look back And find that you understood How my heart ached How I felt so all alone I was standing in the ashes Of my destroyed home I was trying to live Closer to you I know you undersood I did not just lose one heart I somehow lost two Father you know I tried With all that I am I stumbled I fell In darkness Tried to find my way back to you So I lost my way After the destruction at hand My heart started looking Found so much that was Bland So father forgive me I am a silly man I was looking for love For someone to take my hand Now I see you were here With your arms open wide To hold me and guide me into Better days After all you will never hurt me Like ones in the past Its funny how when we stumble Your way becomes a distant last We look to the world The distractions all around I go from being a wise man To ending up like a clown So father forgive me For you love is all around Your love is greater than any ever found Till death do us part Words not often true After all when we die We are coming to you

Good Boy Posted: 7/26/2009 9:13:10 AM
Your eyes penetrate me like arrows from Aphrodite That look in your eye beckons the bad boy in me The flow of your hair around that sculpted face Make me want to forget all that I know to be true The rise of your lips, the tongue that wets them Calls to me like sirens from a far off shore I know if I reached out and touched you That Bad boy might get out Your whole being calls out to me I know I must keep him at bay With arms to hold you what must I do He wants to unwrap you like a present Tie you back up with the ribbon I want to get to know the real you He wants to indulge in things that get in the way You see you are a Rose to me He sees your beautiful shape and colors I see the possibility of thorns I crave you like perfection from afar The bad boy in me wants to run in without looking I want to know where the pot holes are The Bad boy wants to hide all that he is He wants to pretend he’s all you need I want to reveal all that I am The Bad boy does not mind if you wear the masks That hide the true you inside I want to see you for all that you are To know a real person, I admire from afar The Bad Boy in me is part of who I am Not all that I am, yet part of the whole If I let him out without getting to know the real you I fear it may take its toll The Bad Boy lives inside me Yet I am in control

Inside your head, is much to far So I admire your picture from afar Dark stunning, sexy is true If you were closer I would reach out to you Alas you have hindered my response from this place Contemplating beauty captured in your face Friendship, soul mate I guess we will never know I read your profile and this is as far as it can go

Thread on writing a song / Lyrics Posted: 7/22/2009 1:29:03 AM
Feel free to add ideas thoughts trying to figure out how to write a song this might sound bitter lol… It is just creative ranting. Just some thoughts on relationships feel free to expand the idea of Change if you so wish. Change A gentle breeze that seemed to start out so true We were so lovely, just me and you What was the change Oh where did it start I gave into you and gave you my heart That first kiss I remember how it felt, the passion ensued Now I am left here standing feeling so used You were my dream, my moonlight delight No I am wrapped in misery left to the night Oh Change where did it start Did we let the horse drive our little cart Bumpy roads so much for us Thought we were so happy No longer on the Bus Change it’s coming so soon Was it because we got married to you Or was it a marriage in June All my life I wanted to grow old with you Feel like I am dying, feel so blue Now change is taking place in me I look back now on all the things I did not see I understand now that I did love you and you loved me Two hearts growing, separate in equality You decided you wanted something else other than me Oh Change is not so much doom Change can be healthy once you let go of the gloom Now I see all the positive things now that you’re gone You tricked me into forgetting my own song I got lost trying to make you strong Never again will I let this happen so long If I find I am not equal I will hit the gong Change is good now that you’re gone No longer do I have to deal with all your issues No longer do I live without the love and a box of tissues You thought me things about myself that I needed to learn In no way was I perfect just did not feel the flames or the sudden burn Change me you did not despite how hard you tried Most of all when you smothered me in lies Along the way both our hearts died You could not get me to change To fall in with your family line Change has come suddenly And I realized I am fine It's now far after all the Change came my way I can finally let go of all the hurt and dismay You can have your family that’s all I have left to say Other than that a big F K U..... You'll never find another man that tried to be better to you. Change has come This time I am searching for something true To equal hearts in unison, growing together with time Communication, trust, working together we will be fine Holding each other close like a great bottle of wine.

Without the rhyme Posted: 7/21/2009 6:52:49 PM
To write without the rhyme Is like the Heavens without the stars I am trying so hard not to allow the words to flow Why you say, to try a different way Creative writing staring at a blank screen Funny how it comes and goes Sometimes I feel so inspired Yet other times it is such a muddle of mind I want somehow to find the words Someday I wish to try spoken word You see it is fear that holds me back Shyness Fear One day I will over come it I must strike out in verbal strength Allow myself to trip Then get back up If I let the fear and anxiety take hold I will look back and regret it all I reached out and did a Poetry reading My insides churned like bees in a hive So lucky was I to have it at a friend’s coffee shop Knowing me She let me sit and stay in my chair Without having to stand in front of everyone Under that beaming light Voice was crackling Palms sweaty like pigs in the pen Nerves on Narcotics I faced that Was not that bad I would gladly do it again Maybe this time stand at centre stage Might even smile and look forward Instead of down at the ground What is this Poetry? What is Spoken Word? Who is to judge Is it not like Painters? Everyone sees something different Some see hidden meanings in brush strokes Words written … Want so bad to grow … creatively Want to try and learn … from others I find this so addictive Beautiful

courage never to lose its will slay that dragon on top of your hill stand strong in the day at hand live strong and free in your own land dream the dream that drives your soul let the inspiration with in you take hold Allow yourself to free the chains that bind Open yourself up and open your mind Let the words and actions come into practice Smell all the flowers and kiss the cactus Drift of to places only you know Let your love pour out and overflow The winds of change may constantly blow your way Stand strong in the battle no matter what others say Follow your own tune, skip to your own beat Learn that if you fall You will always land on your feet

Tangled up in Blue As you search for me And I quest for you Vastness valleys hearts and mind Where are you, I feel blind Walking as one, yet I long for two Looking for a gift hidden within Inner beauty so much more than skin Desperado what is a man to do Quiet moments I wish to share My heart is open, I want to care I long to write especially for you

The Taste of things to come Posted: 7/15/2009 8:01:45 PM
Succulent Kisses Soft tender lips The taste of passion Pressed against mine The tongue comes in Feels so divine Arms to hold you Close to me As we sit by the fire Just you and me You speak words of wisdom So nice to hear your thoughts We may disagree Yet we learn to let it be For after all you are you And I would not want to change What it is you believe We can be different And coexist Just you and me We openly share our faults Because we have learned not to hide them We have learned be honest with who we are And what we want to be I want to be there for you And you want to be there for me We will be true We will have honesty We will communicate We will have passion We will have enjoyment

Shows pleasure is the prize The thought of me between your thighs That sexy look trapped in your eyes Let go let the passion rise Twisted caught in the net, you and me Finish first then we will worry about me Sometimes the pleasure is just watching thee Other times it is wrapped in glee
