" I met a woman from Colombia, our cultures
are far from the same.
Yet when we kiss are thoughts become one,
as we dismiss the world of all it's childish games."

"An evening of cool air surrounded by stars, evil
strolled the streets, and found himself in black folks arms.
They took him in as all believers would do.
Not knowing of his intentions, never knowing the Devils due.
He praised the Lord as the scriptures were being read.
His insides were of fire, as he thought of them being dead.
The hour had passed. It was all he could take.
Pulling out his weapon. It was a big mistake.
For the damage was done, nine laid in their blood.
Evil footsteps of blood running like a raging flood.
600 miles later he was stopped in flight.
Charleston in it's pain would not give up this fight.
Blacks and Whites have gathered to mourn hand and hand.
The Devil brought them together thinking they would leave
God's Promised Land.
All Good will come out of Evil. Something The Devil
will never know.
Yet, Charleston has it's believers with God's Love... It
will always show."

"Life has erased you, and swallowed the love
we shared.
With i having many chances at night to
explain my wrongs, and your rights.
This desperation haunts me with an unexplainable
fear.
Not having you know just how much i do, and did care.
Being gone now, nothing is ever the same.
Again, you not being here to hear my confession
of the blame.
For all the things that i said, and praying
for forgiveness while i lie nights in our bed.
Now alone in this darken time with this desperation
all my own.
I must put it to sleep. it needs to come to an end.
A tortured brain needs to be healed.
My life needs to mend."

" I sit here with my thoughts, counting them one
by one.
The problem i have, is i never seem to get done.
Like a freight train at times speeding through me
so fast.
While others slow down like a growing blade of grass.
They come in different emotions.
Many have me shed an abundance of tears.
Others are full of laughter thinking of my wonder years.
The world, and it's confusion places me in this place.
I think of the bitter times that Blacks, and White face.
We never have any answers that can make certain thoughts
disappear.
Or can it be we don't ask the right questions to
have them blown away into thin air?
A thought of optimism has just entered my mind.
Could this be the beginning of leaving many thoughts behind?
They say it's healthy when thoughts feed the brain, but
unhealthy when in the direction of becoming insane."

"We are lead by love.
We are moved by love, and
we kneel before it in awe."

"Being 18, free and driving the highway is a
young mans dream.
Mine came true with the wind through my hair
without a single care, and the smell of the beach in the air.
Just down the road stood a man with his hand held high.
The Hitchhiker was in the place of me. Should i
drive by?
I came to a stop, i let him in thinking of how it used to be.
I asked, "Where you headed."? He replied, "To the church just before
you reach the sea."
I hadn't a problem until his question arose. "Do you know Jesus."?
That's as far as the ride will go.
I pulled over, and demanded him to get out.
He looked at me with a smile, and for years i never new what
that was about.
Now that my years have passed, and the Lord is in my life.
There was a day that my car broke down, and i now stood in the
road with my hand in the air.
A car pulled up, i hopped in and said"God Bless You" he replied, "Please
don't go there." so i just gave him a smile.
That was when i realized the Hitchhiker's smile.
It was a silent prayer."....

"They are only heard against the fleshy tissue
of the woman's womb.
Kept from the ears of us who live, along with
the heartache for those who shall always give.
The rights of a puppy, or a kitten are shown
to us each and everyday.
We fight to keep them alive so they don't
pass away.
Is it their cuteness that we give them a brand
new day,
or our ugliness to throw an innocent child away?
This doesn't make sense.
God knew it when he gave us his law.
We destroyed his plan when we took it upon
ourselves to open that forbidden door."...

"I fell in love when i
First saw myself in your eyes."

" Our marriage lasted 39 years, we had our ups and
downs shedding many tears.
At times she was SILK, and other times SANDPAPER.
I was neither. She keep us together.
Her softness calmed the mustang in me.
Her rough side placed me where i was supposed to be.
A soft cloth, and a scratchy piece of paper lived
with-in her flesh.
These two items made me a better man. They
brought out the best.
She rests in peace now, as i follow her ways.
Her being my "SILK & SANDPAPER" has left me
with wonderful, and brighter days."

"When in battle tbousands
of miles away, race, color or creed

Yet it lives in the air that we breath

in America."

A well dressed man holding
the classy lady's hand, walks in Paradise.
So he thinks.
Head up high he's visited by a passerby, as she holds
an empty cup in the direction of his blind eyes.
His lady looks over her shoulder to witness the
young, and homeless cry.
She breaks away leaving him stunned.
His rich heirs can't explain what he has done.
The crying young girl weeps no more.
The classy lady holds her in her once emptied arms opening
a new door, as they both take "Footsteps Into Paradise."...

"We started a book that held many chapters.
Leaving us with a number of empty pages.
Now the clouds roll in as my search for you begins,
Will we ever again put on our happy faces?
Your golden blonde hair that blends with the sun,
and your eyes matching the deepest blue sky's
are now hidden behind the clouds.
My life is now filled with only the raindrops that
fall, not from the sky's, but from your eyes.
Please "Come Out From Behind The Clouds.
Let us start the next chapter."....

"Whispers of your love in
her ears.
Toasting your champagne glasses
For the New Year.
Catching her smile while she's
asleep.
Kissing her tenderly, then a
Love pinch on her feet.
Walking out of your room
you take a second glance. you
See your Love,thinking only of
romance.
Your day begins as you close
the door.
Yet she's with you in heart yearning
For more."

"I see the beauty in the leafless trees.
I see the beauty in one wearing torn sleeves.
I see the beauty in the cancer child without hair.
I see the beauty in the legless man in his wheel chair.
I see the beauty in the homeless just sitting there.
I see the beauty in the humans that show they care.
I see the beauty in the fool on the hill.
I see the beauty in his heart praying to change the worlds will.
I see the beauty in all that see ugly.
I see the beauty in me that those who see the ugly, will never see ."

"Hello" Yes it's late. No problem. Whats up? I'm okay. Don't cry, you should be happy under the Moonlight sky. You have noticed the Moon arisen?
Another night with your crying eyes
it keeps me realizing you made
a mistake leaving me.
Come over tonight with having your company
beside me.
Let us attract the Moonlight that's  burning
inside me.
Let's live our lives again of how it
used to be.
We can wish together to make it come
true.
Promise a list of things that will always please you.
Never again mention our past, to have one
life become two.
Wake up to the morning sun reflecting off
the outside boulders.
Flowing with Love as we get older.
Keeping fresh in my mind of being young,and
how i loved to hold her.
These are the things we should live for.
It's time for me to hang up this phone, and
have the Moonlight show you the way to my
home. Click. Accompanied with a dial tone."

" You walked my way, and passed
me by so I thought I'd say hi.
You glanced into my eyes I'm burning inside then you gave
me your smile.
I never believed in love at first
sight until you came along.
Shame on me, you made me see
How much I was wrong.
We talked for awhile then went
for a ride in my Mercedes Benz.
I felt so alive with you by my side
Praying for this never to end.
The years have now passed, and
I pour you a glass of an expensive champagne.
We look in our eyes how we did
the first time with silence in our minds. To touch each glass thinking of our past when our lives changed
on a dime."....

"Lost in a thought.
Will it be tonight's dream?
A day dream has no images,
it's just a stare in the air.
The mind wonders of all past places.
Things of so much importance as
your thought races.
Will you visit me while i sleep, possibly
1:26 AM?
It's also tomorrow's date.
The day of your Birthday once again.
My thought, and dream will be complete, only
if you come to me, blowing out your candles on
the cake full of sweets."

" It's now Friday night i'm walking through the park
thinking how we never made it to our time of reminiscing.
I can still hear the lyrics of the  great Little River Band in our time,
and how we were living up to that moment.
Being able to look back on the wonderful years,
it only feels right when both are holding hands.
I'm now company to a park bench seeing couples
walking by.
Every once in awhile, a smile, and a hi..
Getting old is not bad at all. I live with that
each day, but being on this park bench alone
can turn the deepest blue sky's gray.
So. To all that may have heard "REMINISCING,
and in Love.
I hope that your days of "Walking through the park & Reminiscing
comes your way with a flock of white doves."....

"We are not put on this earth to become failures, and you'll never be poor as long as you have a friend."

" The bus ran late as i stood in the fog lighting
my cigar, and there you are.
Like a genie exiting from your bottle.
The aroma of the cherry blend smoke
filling the air with the dampness only England
can bare presented a perfect match of us two
just standing there.
Leaving London was immediately put on hold,
you captured my soul.
A taxi pulled up as if it was sent from up above.
We entered, and she spoke. "Take us to a place
where we are to make love."
Thoughts raced through his mind of what
the future may hold.
Living in the States with a job that awaits.
Can he be so bold?
The ride comes to an end, and pays the fair.
A doorman greets them with a hardy cheer.
Making their way through the lobby they
reach the front desk.
Keys to their room are handed to the lady.
She holds them tight up against her *******.
They exit the elevator on the 10th floor,
she injects the key to open the room door.
Making her way to the bathroom in order
to freshen up.
He takes a sit on the bed lays back only to pass out.
A tug on his shoulder, he awakes, with the bus driver
letting him know they're at the last stop."

"I was given a gift that out ways
any lottery.
My WIFE."....

"I open up my eyes, and i'm not with you,
living another day i hope to get through, without
falling down.
Cloudy days without the sun while you've been gone,
they blanket my mind making it so hard to find.
living day to day with only your memories
of how it used to be.
All the love we made with our fun filled nights, and
Ballooned fill days.
They are locked inside with tremendous pain,
unable to hide my tears that fall like the rains.
I would get down on my knees to see you
smile again.
To have you take away my pain.
Every step i take i feel you there.
To gaze upon a shadow wishing it was you
rather then my broken heart.
I'd sit at times to watch a couple walking,
and hear them talking, and there we are.
It's then when i know i'm alone, and think if you ever have the old
feelings of me,
and how things used to be?
I pray that you meet with me for only a night
to try bringing you back to remember.
For bringing you back to show you the time
we had it all together.
One more chance.".....

"How i wish you can come out to play.
Can't think of another way to spend this day.
If clouds were to appear as we walked on the pier,
They would still be filled with the sunshine reflecting
through your long brown hair.
Accompanied with a glow on your face that i once
so much embraced.
Kissing your lipstick lips that i truly, truly miss.
Being where i want to be,
and a feeling being mutual. You being with me.
It's late in the evening with my heavy heart in
this quite place, to share my care for a woman
who deserves satin, and lace.
You've become my friend at the age of 10 that
leads me to say. "Oh how i wish you can again,"Come Out And Play."

"Valentines Day comes but once a year,
Fragrance of candy, and flowers consumes the air.
The love you have is bold on this day,
your hugs and kisses of  such strength,
two hearts break away.
They pump with a speed like a rocket deep
into the night, reaching the moon with the earth
nowhere in sight.
Alone with your love, a fireplace will soon appear,
two glasses of wine click, you toast for a happier new year.
Your glasses are then put aside for your
hand to glide through the air, you reach, you touch
then a whisper enters your awaiting ear.
"I love you, i want you." as he holds you tightly
in his arms.
You answer softly. "I'm all yours, take me back to the moon."
While you hold his face gently in your palms.
You retire, and you love with the night coming to an end.
The sun will soon arrive, with your Valentines Day that
came to an end."....

"I don't know how to stop loving you,
but these thoughts are Branded in me of when you were untrue.
The past is gone, and we're both separated, still
my heart beats for the return of you.
It's been a year since i broke away, yet the fool in me
thinks of you each and everyday.
Do your arms reach out to me in the morning
on the empty side of your bed?
Maybe their's another who strokes your body, and
rubs your head.
I sleep alone, and in my dreams i'm dreaming, if only
you can love me as you did before, then answered
as you again walked through the door.
Reaching out your hand in mine asking
for forgiveness as the sun once again begins to shine.
The fading dream awakes me, the thoughts of you are still very clear.
A new day begins, i begin to prepare.
Suddenly your gone, but only for a little while.
Night will return for us to be, you, and i."....

"Love has a ring to
it, and it looks great
on your beautiful finger."

"I wanted you forever.
Just you, and me in the breeze.
never thinking time had a say,
bringing our future to an end.
I'll never begin to understand
how life passes us by,
it leaves us only to try.
Teaching to say goodbye.
We're given joy, and happiness
through our years, memories now of the past
Praying for just a wish, bring it back forever.
Another chance to have me in your eyes.
Another chance to hold you when you cried.
To take away the vision when you in my arms
as you died.
It was terrible when i had to say goodbye.
Wanting back all the great times we had.
All that last forever, and not those of
sad.
I only pray that you can now hear me say, how
fortunate i was that you came my way."

"No matter where you are, and
How you may be feeling this very moment, today is a day that will
Never ever be a part of your life
Make it a Memorable one."

"Lately it's so hard to awake
Knowing your no longer there beside
Me to feel my ache.
Trying to close these eyes of
tears, it's then when you automatically appear.
I question. Is this a dream,
Or a torture ?
A punishment for the Times
I faltered.
The sun has again filled the
green hills where we once spent
So much time, but in
the distance clouds of gray
Will consume the day, and
leaving me speechless with nothing more to
say."

"Many are asked, yet so few
have the answers."

                              " ? "
"What's your ?..?"

"I took you in from the cold.
Your dark blue eyes placed me
In your soul.
I was once lost, but had to
Help, and defend for myself.
That's when she jumped in
My arms, and started licking
My face."

"Many are put in the ground
For trees to bare fruits,
Others sit on the land,
mostly to be cooked.
They all serve  a purpose
Providing life for us to live,
Yet we too were at one time
a seed planted by our fathers
also to provide, and give.
We may be called humans,
I disagree.
God's earth was to be a garden
to grow Flowers that became
You and Me."

"Once i was 10 playing stick ball on the
black tar streets in Brooklyn.
Then to hear my Mother call when
it was time to come in.
A basement apartment one bedroom that
slept four.
With Mom, and Dad on a pull away couch
hearing them both snore.
We didn't have much, but a roof over our
heads.
Three meals a day, our parents gave us their best.
They supported our needs, and healed
the bruises on our knees.
Never bated an eye to help us
when we cried.
Showing us so much love, but
we being too young to understand what
it was made of.
I'm all grown up now with children
of my own.
Teaching them what i was taught,
with a comfort that they will
never be alone.
My parents taught me well in
appreciating all in my past.
My children show me now
that our love will forever last."

"When entering a dark road in
your life, you must become the light.
Darkness will never reveal one's mess, in the
morning, noon or night.
Turn on the light for it to be cleaned.
We have all collected our dirt, never wanting
it to be seen.
When mechanical things breakdown, you pick up
a tool.
Do you become that tool when humanity
needs to fix a fool?
Don't run away, for your light
will go dim.
Stay the Course, you just may
prevent a sin."

Dear Love,
"You have been a part of my life for many, many
years?
A vacation perhaps you are on that avoids me
to feel your touch, or the sweet nothings that have
been silent in my ears?
Life is complete with you in it's company, but
filled with an emptiness once you walked out of
my party.
Many friends turn out to become acquaintance's
no love lost at all.
Then again there was one, and still
never to call.
Do i place you in the same category
as she?
Will you ever return to my party to spend
your remaining lifetime with me?"....

"If your last day can be remembered,
you deserve another."

"I once saw a man collecting bottles.
So i greeted him with an hello,
and gave him five dollars.
His eyes opened wide as his mouth
said, "God bless you"
He then reached in his pocket, and
i thought he pulled out a tissue.
To my behold, it was a wrinkly dollar bill,
and he offered it to me.
This set me back, and i felt what he wanted me to
see.
He witnessed the shock in my eyes,and
said."He wanted to be a giver,,just like me."

"I pray to you, and my words reaches
your ears.
I talk of my ups, and downs,
feeling that you are always so near.
I'm never frightened, nor even at an un-ease,
you've given me strength through the years,
You have brought me to my knees.
"My Silence In A Prayer" is only for you to hear,
bearing with me always when i have something to share.
Your plan for me may come quickly,
I know you may never make it not come at all.
It will be of Glory.
My Faith will never fall.
Now it is dark, and silent while you are near.
The day will come for me to meet you,
and then, the "Silence In A Prayer"
will become that of a cheer"....

"Look at the world today.
We're in so much turmoil.
The greatest minds have nothing to say.
Simple people with power seem to have lost their way.
They talk of getting things done, but
instead of creating jobs, they rather knock people off
one by one.
Deep in our mistakes, the world is a disgrace.
Answers are not in the minds of man.
Dam it, when are we going to understand?
God has the only plan.
Listen, and we will expand.
There's strength in what i just wrote.
It's the rest of the world that i worry 'about."....

" Will you be in my hands once again?
Have the tears stopped running down your face,
Hoping the sorrows have fled from the misery's of
that forgotten place.
Are you on your way home?
Can you fill me with the desires of years ago?
Can we store the hurt that was so hard of letting go?
The visions in our souls were many,
can they be seen when you return?
I pray they will, without having to learn.
My heart still beats in tune with yours.
Does your's still hold the same notes?
Another dance, another whisper to my ear, but only
of different quotes.
My door is open, as i wait for you to knock.
My hand will rise quickly as i undo the lock.
We stand, and stare before the clutch of our hands,
You've "COME HOME" i reply with a tear in my eye.
You dried it off as you said. "Yes, with no more goodbye's."

" I knocked at your door,
i was asked not to come back anymore.
I broke his little girls heart.
No time to explain what drove us apart.
I fled quickly due to the anger in his eyes,
his harsh tone of voice as you looked from your window,
and me waving my goodbye's.
Running to  my home feeling safe in my room.
A framed picture of you on my wall.
I just had to make a call.
A desperate need to unleash my sorrow
to mend the heart of his baby girl.
The third ring he picked up, and said, "hello"
I replied "Sir, it's me Angelo."
"Please listen to my explanation, it's one to be heard.
To belittle your daughter in our childish crowd, as she ran away
i brought the bully to the curb.
A lesson was learned here, and only good comes out of bad.
I was part of that terrible act.
My apologize's from all, for we all hold the feeling of sad."
She will be protected by me when she's out of your company.
Cause the picture of her on my wall means a great deal to me."...

"His eyes had opened into such a darkness.
Miles, and miles of silence filled him within.
Thought's of the unimaginable started to begin.
Creations were his visions,
as he struggled with a deep sense of loneliness.
A star became his light, but seemed a bit to dim.
So millions were added with his frown becoming a grin.
The powers were felt with his planets becoming land.
So beautiful, but alone, is when he created woman, and man.
He placed them in Paradise, and set them on their way,
to learn the meaning of Love as they lived, and played.
Many creations were followed from his Masterful thought's.
Yet, so much of his beauty created humans have lost.
We too are lonely, and seek what God has done.
To make the best of companionship we all win,
and God has won."......

"Saying Never only leads to Forever.
I will reach that time in my life when
i stop breathing.
Until then you are with me, even when
your not.
A candle light will glow.
Will you be the one to blow it out.
It holds a flame that burns inside of me.
There is no wind on the face of this earth
that will "EVER" penetrate the love that survives within me.
I live with Ever's, And Ever's.
They will lead me to my Forever's."......

"So many years there was a fullness in
the air.
A home full of love and laughter that
we all did share.
My home is now empty.
All have left on there own.
The "Empty Room" is full of chairs,
where laughter sat in, but now is gone."

"I'm sorry for all that i said.
I acted like a child, i lost my head.
Now that i feel alone, and blue,
just like you.
I'm sorry."

"I will Love you,
until the kitchen sinks.
I will Love you,
until the meat ***** bounce.
I will Love you Forever.".....

It's early in the morning, i'm trying to find cloths to wear.
Your not here to help me, it's getting harder to bare.
The "Then" times were much easy having you direct so
much of my way.
The "Now" holds me in much confusion,
will there ever be a brighter day?
To hear the word "THEN" i instantly think of you.
It's of past tense. When we were two.
"NOW" is of the present, you not by my side.
Having once walked with a beautiful lady,
family, and friends have noticed just how much iv'e cried.
The "THEN" you were part of this earth.
And "NOW" you fly with the angles.
I'm completely dressed, and ready for breakfast.
I'll order your favorite. Coffee & Bagels.".....

"It feels just a little better now that i'm holding your hand.
The pain i once had is now living in another land.
A land so far away that you wouldn't be able
to hear me calling your name.
Yes it fells much better now that you gave me your hand.
I should of bought you flowers, i should of
opened your doors.
But with society's rules for a man
i was carried away so not to break it's laws.
man goes through life being the first one
out the door.
With you following behind, and me with no
intention of giving you more.
Until the day when i turned, and you weren't there.
My body slumped  over with a feeling i never possessed.
It was "FEAR".
"FEAR" of you no more was like waking from
a bad dream.
A dream that would never come true, because
of the love i know of now to give to you.
Yes it is much better that we again hold hands.
For now when i call your name,
together we will both visit beautiful lands."

"The day arrived for you to begin the greatest adventure of your life.
One that would complete you.
One that's been a thorn in your side for many years.
Only to find out that it would end in a tragedy.
A tragedy not known of unless you were to
go forth.
To find out at the end of your travels.
Would you still go through with it, is the question"???

"Eight twenty in the evening as she placed her hand
in mine.
The thrill was so overcoming, we touched for the first time.
To look into her eyes, was she thinking the same as i?
Maybe too early to tell, but mine were never to
say goodbye.
We've grown together, trying to make special each day
followed by another day.
Although there were some that were hard to bare, but
we seem to put those aside with memories of the one's
that care.
I am now 64, and she's 42.
I just received a letter of how much she loves her Daddy.
As much as i love my Baby Girl too."
