American Heck Yes I Love Poetry!!!! I Get Inspired By The Mountains Surrounding My Cabin In Argentina! And By The Meowing Of My Cats! I Am A Retired Carpenter Living With My Two Beautiful Wives And Our 4 Kittens.
You Dragged me out this far Just to Push me to a new fate tomorrow Push, Pull, Drag, Shove, Wrench, Tear Don't You Care I am playing tug-o-war with my destiny You want one, I want the other I plant my feet down at home, you move me into an unknown mystery I tried to stay, you made me leave, I grew to love that unknown place But that doesn't mean, you can lure me into a new space I will still stand strong You won't knock me down Longer, longer, longer, long Days pass The time draws near I think of excuse and'reason But I can't say that I share Your brute qualities of unforgivableness No Matter I shall not be pushed, pulled, shoved, dragged, wrenched, tore Not Again. Time after Time Don't I have a say? No. Not Again.

Life It is a simple word Yet it holds so much meaning People use it everyday in many ways But most people don't know what it means After being alive so long you would think that you know what it is Or maybe you do know what it is once you reach the age 70 As newborn babies we are ****** with life yet it came with no instructions We try to make do with it And in the end its all we ever know Death It often goes along with Life And after a while we realize that death is part of life You cannot avoid it, or change what it is Just like you can't avoid eating delicious food when it is placed in front of you You must be willing to let go of the life you had planned in order to live the life that is waiting for you

Life, Death, or Both?
What has happened to this day It used to be so magical Christmas, it's called And yesterday was Christmas Eve I used to laugh and play Always dreaming of today When Santa Claus Came And all my family came home We would go out to dinner And then go to sleep before Santa passed our house I would wake up so early just to stare at the presents Now I dream of today Imagining all those times in the past When I would open the presents, and my family I would feel magical Like nothing in world could ever bring me down But when the time comes And we go out to dinner And dress all fancy Trying to feel magical It ends up being Not so amazing Our conversation turning to the more depressing subjects in life Then on Christmas morning When I wake up late And go to the Christmas tree And wait to open presents But once that's done what is left Except to sit and play So to this day i sit and wonder What has happened to this wonderful holiday Has all the tradition turned to dust And is it only about the presents, the food, and what we want Has the spirit of giving disapeered To be replaced by a spirit filled with greed?

Christmas?
What has man done? we have built skyscrapers that seem to go on to the heavens yet mountains are taller we have made airplanes so we can fly high in the sky yet birds fly higher we have built roads so we can drive anywhere we want yet volcanoes sizzle them, hurricanes block them, and avalanches take them out we have built houses so that we will always be warm yet a good storm can knock em' down we move from place to place just because we can yet while we have to stop sometime, clouds never stop moving and the earth never stops spinning we take up the entire world because we are so great yet the world is still bigger

Yet the World is Still Bigger
The cold snow welcomes her Envelopes her body She sighs, fighting with herself Who should win? Life has been so harsh for her, the excitement is wearing thin Yet if she did not have a purpose, why would she be here? In the end she lets the snow win, because she has no fear She loses herself in the cold Always and forever to its power It kidnaps her, and takes her to its lair And never gives her back And never gives me back

Never Gives Her Back
12 hours Thats all I have To do the impossible To get my homework done 12 hours Thats all I have To clean my room And do my homework While still get a good grades 12 hours Thats all I have To get done what needs to get done But I really don't want to I really just want to watch TV 12 hours Have never seemed so long How long do I have to pretend I'm about to work Before I actually do Why do teachers torture me so?

12 hours
At the Coffee Shop I saw a man I saw a man and guessed his story He had dark circles beneath his eyes And he looked like a dead man in his faded black suit He rubbed his forehead as he sat down And his eyes seemed far away when he ordered his coffee He ordered a double shot expresso That says a lot about a man As I was leaving I stopped to say goodbye I figured he could use some friendliness today Instead of saying goodbye I said hello And he told me his story So I told him mine And to this day I spend everyday thinking about him About his story About mine About his story of a divorce, a child sent to jail, being fired Then going to the Coffee Shop and seeing a woman A woman who looked like she could use a break From work, from stress, from broken love affairs He geussed her story And she geussed his She suprised him though By stopping to say hello And then he went on to marry her And together they were happy She got a break from stress and broken love affairs And he got a break from his empty heart and loneliness

The Coffee Shop Man
Footsteps, all around The world is spinning, or is that me? I see him come, but it's too late He drags out me out there To that dark dark place Where no one will see me Where no one will see him The trees tower above me Like demeaning spirits I turn around And let out a gasp Then something sharp pierces my heart And the world starts to fade I let out a cry My cry The only cry The cry that is not heard It barely escapes my mouth Before I am swallowed up by darkness

An Unheard Cry
A snifle at midnight An unheard cry My thoughts wander to that place I left That wonderful place The place I call my home My heart aches My mind cries But I shove it all away So no one will know my misery So no one will know my pain

That Place
What is life if not to die You live your life living Only to end it all In one single second your life is gone All your years of work Disapear in a flash What is life if not to die You spend your life dreading That one single day Then when it comes All that time you spent dreading Is gone in the past What is life if not to die All your life is wasted All in one moment One dreadful moment And all is lost Never to be had again Not even yourself
