" You look at your watch when searching
for the time.
Go to a window, see if the weather is fine.
A book seems to find your hands.
You open it, hoping the first chapter is far
from being bland.
Always something to do.
Always somewhere to go.
Is there ever a time we stay still?
Even in our dreams, we rush for things.
The wheels just keep on turning, with
Gravity stopping us from floating in air.
On the go, on the go.
Trains, buses, cars, and planes.
Look how we grow.
This will never stop. It"s simply Human Nature.
So sad for the one's that get left behind.
All they become is a name and an address on a sheet
of paper."

"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."......

"Don't let yesterday's pain, stop you
From  giving tomorrow's LOVE."

"We flew through the air like a flock of birds in flight.
Days became weeks,
the end was nowhere in sight.
Dreams entered our minds,
we prayed that our goals came true.
They did.
One by one.
It gave us so much more to look forward too.
"TIME never pauses. "Time" never stops.
It can only be controlled with a simple snap shot.
Treasure your photo's, you just had "TIME" standing still.
Your years will come and go,
but your photograph's never will."

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

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

"A day of rain with a fireplace at it's highest glow.
A wife sitting on a chair that she seems to call her own.
A book placed in her hands as she turns to the next page,
and me in the most quietest atmosphere while i day dream on a comfortable couch.
Silence fills the air, as i stare.
She takes in a breath as Happiness enters the room.
My mind wonders in it.
For it knows of our love, and understanding we share in these
times of silence."

"I met  a woman in my dream.
She was "Faceless".. She was beautiful."

"When in battle tbousands
of miles away, race, color or creed
is stored away.
Yet it lives in the air that we breath
to many as they walk the streets
in America."

"We stand on the street corner,
i look at you with a stare.
The light will soon turn green,and in
seconds you will no longer be their.
My heart no longer sleeps with each step
as you walk away.
A crowd shuffles in, your gone.
Will you ever appear to me some other day?"

"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 have had only one beautiful Vision in
my life.
The day i turned my head in a crowded restaurant
only to see for the first time, the woman who
later became my wife.
I now look forward to my second.
My Lord and Savior "JESUS CHRIST"...
AMEN.....

"I'm sitting here thinking of there.
There is where i would love to be.
There, can you tell me where?
How will i get there?
What is it that's there?
Why should i even care?
What's so important that makes me what to
leave here?
Just a thought of being here, and wanting to go there,
does produce a little fear.
It's a fear of not knowing if you belong there.
New Jersey is the there of the where i want to be,
and Linda is of my care for whom i want to see,
but the question is. "Does she want to be with me?"

"Last night i said goodbye, it's bringing out
my tears.
I sit in  hotel rooms, and nothing is ever clear.
I think of you, it rattles me because your not
here.
My thought's when you hold me, my insides do
cheer, as they ask me . "Will i ever see you again."
My time in different states, and countries. It's my job
that takes me away.
If only you were here to see the view of this beautiful bay.
I know it's hard to be apart, but we need to try.
Think of our beautiful children having to watch
us say goodbye.
I could never bare seeing that, i'll try to spend
more time at home.
Money isn't everything, it's never hearing your voice again
as i call you on the phone."

"Red lights, green lights, a stop
sign ahead.
do you ever feel trapped, even the
sheets wrap around you in bed.
To walk across a simple street we must
look to our left and right, as if
we're being watched before the turning
of the red light.
We cross, and the people bunk into you
on all your sides while texting their phones.
You see a sidewalk rage break out, one
falls to the ground as if being struck by a
Military Drone.
Working in cubicles now that have 3 walls.
I remember offices with open and closed doors.
Our days come to an end, taking us an hour to come home.
Only to relax in your living room, and now being "SURROUNDED"
with the one's you love, baring in mind with-in the next twelve hours,again
you'll be gone."

"Life can be so strange.
Seconds turn into minutes, hours to days,
weeks to months, months to years.
So many have passed, and our flesh has never touched.
With all this time our lives have gone on,
with my thoughts of you filling the air.
At the same time i day dream, to hope i find you their?
I ask of the wind to deliver my thoughts, as my life runs it's course?
Thoughts do leave minds in search for a home to find.
You, my childhood friend. Can this thought of you ever end?
Will the wind breeze through you,
To have you think of me again?

"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."

"I met a girl today, with just her picture in front of me.
Her beauty is so pleasurable, and so is her Poetry."....

"I fell into the darkness, but soon i stepped
into the light.
She stood right in front of me, it gave me
an uneasy fright.
I leaned away to open a door.
She then called my name while
my heart fell to the floor.
Not knowing her that well, but wanted
always to.
I turned, and said hello, not knowing
shamefully what i was to do.
We spoke of the meeting that we both
had attend.
Exchanging phone numbers came early,
this beginning relationship was not about to end.
The dates also came quickly, taking me away from my work.
Poetry became secondary, i was becoming a clerk.
Being Away from certain things i Love.
So i say simply. SECONDARY can never be ABOVE"...

"Cry me a river, that's what she has done.
After i dismissed all the laughter, romantic
dinners, the excitement of our forever lasting fun.
A lady with no emotion has no soul.
How much i tried to bring it out, her
heart was just too cold.
Too late to shed tears after i had given her
my relentless love for one full year.
Now she cry's me a river, tugging on my
shirt begging not to leave her.
Iv'e been through this before, but never
opening up the door.
I forgave,, only left standing in my tears that fell
to the floor.
Here it is once again. My blood rushing to my head.
The door fresh in my sight.
It opens. I walk into the night.
Time stands still as i breath in the early morning air.
I look up to the sound of a free flying bird, and me, also
there."

"It's like a greeting of a new born baby.
For the first time it's placed in  your hand
you smile and would give it a name if you can.
What come s next is you show your beautiful
newcomer to all family, and friends.
Who wants to hold it, while you want to protect it.
It seems to never end.
To a cell phone. It's on vacation each, and everyday
of the week.
You check into the finest hotels, eat at 5 star restaurants, and
is pleased just walking down the street.
When it's time to end your day, you place it on your
night table, not too far away. Tuck yourself in while the night comes to an end.
Waking up in the morning you first yawn, then reach
for your cell.
You gently take off the charger as if your changing a
baby's diaper.
Then you wait for it to speak, hoping to hear good
news while you were asleep.
All is well. A brand new day is to begin. You both jump
out of bed, make it to the kitchen table where "You And Your Cell"
will have your regular, bacon and an egg."

"Scattered memories fill the visions in my mind.
What one person can remember, can it leave the
other blind.
Does she feel the way i feel when approaching
lands, and sights that were a beautiful part of us?
Does she still hold on to the laughter
of the good times that have passed?
I put aside the painful times feeling it's the right
thing to do.
Wasn't hard, they were so few.
Memories are the hardest.
They pop up everyday.
Where ever i go i see a photograph of us, in
the city, or here as i sit by the bay.
Does she think of me as i think of her?
"Does She?"

"It's normal to see them around trash cans, dumpsters, and
decaying veggies, but mine found he's or her
home resting on my bathroom faucet.
Every morning there it rests.
To me i never felt it was a pest.
What gives me the right to judge God creations?
A category characteristic of there own.
It was not being harmful to me, yet a bit
playful i may add.
Flying in front of my mirror making sure
looking good for the day planned.
Done, it would land on my finger as i escorted
us both out into open land.
I released. Flying with freedom to the sound
of Steve Miller Band.
Doing my errands for the day i would think
at times what my simple little friend was up to.
It sometimes made me sad when i thought one day hearing
someone say."They die on the 3rd day"...
What suddenly came to me. It was the end of the 3rd day.
I awoke on the 4th. Walked slowly into the bathroom.
Looked upon the faucet. My morning companion was gone.
Living with a fruit fly maybe absurd to many, but i love all
creatures of God. To me it was full of fun, and funny."

"You try your best to break it. Living like a sculpture,
taking it's abstract form, carving, and chiseling with your
mouth with nothing to show for it but a chill as if it's a frozen
piece of ice.
Hands are not tools. The're made to hold. To feel the heat of one's
heart coming through, to melt the other as if it were a piece of chocolate.
Yet, she holds back with reasons unknown.
Leaving my mind with questions that i need to ask.
Questions that just may chip away the concrete shell .
Standing together in night's darkness, with the light of
the moon shimmering off the left side of her tanned cheek.
I asked. " Why not even a simple kiss, or a moment of a held
hand after six months in your company."?
Turning away with a couple of steps out of the
glorious moonlight. Standing in complete darkness, a
voice called out. " It's hard to love again, when love never
treated me right the first time around."
I then stepped into the darkness, softly pulled her back
in the moonlight, held her in my arms whispering.
"You are now in the light with a love the second time
around."
We kissed. Held hands taking a walk under the stars to a new
path on a concrete sidewalk."

"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"???

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

" You live in a town for so many years, and
your spouse passes on, memories appears.
Day after day, where ever you go. A walk in the
park, she will show.
Looking at the bench, her favorite bench where
laughter, and idea's flows form our souls.
Never interrupted until a pigeon joined in on
our conversation.
Pleasant, and warm were the days we sat there.
Along with the children on the swings, and the
open air.
Restaurants on every corner with their fragrances
flying through our sense of smell.
Choosing the one with the odor of the BBQ Grill.
Although, through the years we did try them all.
The Lake was our favorite. There was our first date.
That's when we saw a butterfly, and she said. "How
can anyone hate."
After she said that. I'll never forget, that in that moment, i
loved her more then she loved that butterfly.
I was never able to question , why?
For 39 years it was She and i.
I left New York 3 years ago to leave those memories
behind.
Living in Texas i now
write of those wonderful memories with my fingers, from
my mind."

God Bless,
Michael....

"You walk with-in my heart along the beaches
we once strolled.
It's sad that your not here, it leaves me bitter and cold."

"So what that you lie to
the government.
So what if you don't tell the truth.
So what if you lie to congress, some
example they send to our youth.
So what if they jump over our boarders.
So what if they are caught then let go.
So what that they **** our children, it's
only about the vote.
So what if they bus them to our neighborhoods.
So what if we have to pay their insurance, the
rich and famous need not worry, it doesn't
cost them a single cent.
So what is 550% of war minded Syrian Refugees
are to enter our land.
So what if we applaud them with open arms, and
a Marching Band.
So what if they take our jobs and pay away.
So what if America doesn't see a brighter day.
So you, anyone of you tell me "IT'S NOT A SO WHAT"

"Married couples should stop thinking of Marriage
as an institution, but as a relationship that's
on fire.
It just may last forever."

"I went to a club tonight, and
Wound up in a fight.
Hoping to meet a woman, it just wasn't my night.
Until i awoke from the punch.
Not knowing where i was at.
Laying on a couch, with a beautiful
Woman wiping the blood from my mouth."

"Your Valley's are rich with your soil, i
stand in it,
Your winds that rage through me like a
herd of wild horses, I breath it.
You surround me with a force of courage.
Your Mountain tops standing at attention
with snow caps touching the bluest sky's.
You surround me with such a blissful joy.
My eyes have become yours, to see the beauty
that you have imposed.
You placed a soul in my created body.
Now i know you.
You surround me with, your precious love.
Yours waters, i swim in,
they refresh me.
I'm now clean in thought's..
You Cleansed me.
I Bow Before You.".....

"Don't you think it's time time, that
you  finally find the time, that you finally
find the time, to follow "The One."
Haven't you had enough time, in your
spare time, to think of the right time, to
follow " The One."
He has given you all his time, for you to
think of the time, for you to think of the time
to give it to "The One."
So, the next time you think of time, please, for your
own sack. Give it to "The One".....
God Bless you all,
Michael....

" I live alone with the Lord, and my
cat.
His name is Noah. Does he dream of building
an Ark for all different kinds of humans.?

"I once sold the same identical cars to two strangers
who lived on the same street.
One paid  $ 800.00 dollars over cost, and the other
paid  $ 200.00 dollars over cost.
One day they met and compared the Bill Of Sales.
Then they both drove to my dealership to question
why?
One was very, very angry.
The other was very, very smart."

"My Grandfather sits in the corner as the
party is going on.
No one to talk to. No one to explore his
past years, and his hidden charm.
Sipping his glass of red vino, i vision as
he once sat on the streets of Italy with his Family, and
friends.
I can hear the sounds of the Mandolin as he makes
his move on the checker board under the shady tree.
I drew closer wanting to know more of this Family Monarch.
So many untold stories that he may want to talk about.
As i approached he turned to me calling out my name with
a question. "Ah, Michael. Are you having a good time?
I answered. "No Grandpa, but with you i'll be fine."
We spoke all about his past, and Oh how we laughed.
Tears began to develop from his eyes, I asked. "Grandpa why
do you cry.?"
He held my hands. He kissed my cheeks with a reply."It's been
a long time that i sat with someone who is interested with my
life before i die."

"A word of advice toward a question that
someday you maybe asked.
It has to do with pictures of you, and your
loved one that were taken in the past.
You smiled when saying cheese,
then you noticed a flash.
Both there with scenery in the back round,
still as can be, with no hint of sound.
Friends look on with the past
of both of you.
Then the question maybe asked.
"After the picture was taken, what did you do"?
I too was asked that question, and seemed to
never know.
This was a question that i needed to answer,
i just couldn't let it go.
Sometime had passed, and this all happened
again.
This time i was prepared as the picture
was in the hands of a friend.
I could of said many things,
at one time i was going to make up a list.
But my answer was simple. My wife, and i
agreed that we would always "KISS"....

"You think I'm scared,your dam
right I am.
You think I'm worried, that goes hand
and hand.
Being afraid is not easy to
Say
Admitting the truth is the
only way.
God's world is at a threshold, it's
talked about everyday of each
week.
We seem to do nothing about it.
Can it be that we are becoming weak?
Yes it is scary, and I do feel less safe.
It's all in God's Hands. "Us" The Human
Race."

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.".....

" Don't look at one and
Judge..
Listen to their words, then
You will know of their heart."❤

"The flicker of a match burns quickly, compared
to your cold Heart that has me leave swiftly."

"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."

" Hands are to hold, Arms are to hug, Lips, are
to kiss, and i have none to offer. You are truly
missed."
With Love,
Michael..
