My hands gently caressing over your skin.

Your body shakes and shivers deep from within.

Feeling my warm breath
racing down your spine.

In just that very moment
I knew you were  mine.

Eyes to get lost in
deeper than outer space.

I gently run my fingers
down your sweet and tender face.

Our lips finally meet
causing one enormous spark.

Our souls both glowing
and shining in the dark.

My hands move down
massaging your breast.
I could continue my story
but I'll let you Imagine the rest.

Sitting here
in meditation.

wondering about
my own  identification.

Dreaming  about
my summer vacation.

Reminiscing about
a past infatuation.

Do we need  
outer space exploration.

We thank the Armed Forces
for their dedication.

And seem to forget
the needy in desperation.

We need to help our own
show some dedication.

Or at least help them
change their life situation.

I know you can see
their frustration.

As billions go
to other nations.

Bet yet we forget our own

As I sit here
and continue in meditation.

I take myself
to a higher elevation.

But that's
your interpretation.
Only from
your observation.

As our children are suffering
from starvation.

There shouldn't be
any complication.

And yet so
many denominations.

we shouldn't put
any limitations.

from a country of
so much innovation.

But why does our government
seek world *******.

But yet they forget their own

We only see
their chosen presentations.

They show us only
certain altercations.

Then media  thrives
on all the accusations.

Why  all we read about
is their incarcerations.

Which cause
hate and assassinations.

From all there exaggerations.

Which causes
uncivilized demonstrations.

All the breakdown
in communications.

And the medias
absurd manipulations.

That tries to keep divided
our great civilization.

But when it really matters
there is great hesitation.

But yet we forget our own

In the book it says
lead us not into temptation.

But they create
such a fascination.

And push
our very own  expectations.

With there
sneaky modifications.

Of certain
well know corporations.

And provide
certain gratifications.

Without everyone's
consideration.

Or passing
the right legislation.

We our their
experimentation.

But yet get no
appreciation.

Which goes back
many generations.

But yet we forget our own

We have forgotten
our own foundation

That love
is what made creation.

And its disappeared
from our population.

All we see is
hate and annihilation.

But they don't show us
the right information.

The kind with
pure human consideration.

The kind
which causes admiration.

With out the feeling
of obligation.

Its time to begin
a new celebration.

And stop
all the hate and separation.

And show all love
with true aspirations.

As morning comes I open my eyes,
and never forget say.

Thank you all mighty entity,
for yet another wonderful day.

The sun is shining
the day is bright.

I'm thankful for its beauty
and its powerful light.

Its the little things in life,
that I'm thankful for.

I'm grateful for what little I have,
even though some have more.

Cherish each moment,
with your family and friends.

Because tomorrow isn't promised,
and today it all could end.

Be thankful for the plants
be thankful for the trees.

It's because of them there is air,
that everybody breaths.

Be thankful for the vegetation
and the flowers that we see.

Be thankful for the sun the rain
But don't forget the bees.

Be thankful for the water
that's pure enough to drink.

Be grateful for the men
that brought it to your sink.


Be thankful for the sun, the moon
and don't forget the stars.

They have made it possible for  you and i,
be thankful where we are.

Be thankful for the really  big things that you or I  can not see.

Be thankful for the energy
that makes you you and makes me me.

It starts with that sun,
that I was thankful for.

but that's a real tiny picture.
We are here because of so much more.

Now as I lay
down my head
and close my wary eyes.

I'm thankful for everything that makes me me
even if I'll never know why.

I hope to wake
for yet another day.

So I can continue to be thankful foR,
more little things I did not have
the time to say.

Have you ever fell in love
from the very very start.

With that special person
you hold very dear to you heart.

So many emotions
going through your head.

Too many to count
while lying in your bed.

Just waiting for the right moment,
to tell them how you feel.

To show them how happy they make you,
and what you feel is real.

Through ups and downs and thick and thin.

Your love for them,
always kept hidden within.

Afraid to let them know
what's really on your mind.

Afraid to lose what we have
a true love that's hard to find.

Afraid of being rejected
and made to look a fool.

So you always keep on
dreaming
and always play it cool.

Never being good enough,
to play that important part.

You just sit there and be quiet
and love them with all you heart.

Listening  to her waves  crashing,
She always wants to speak.

Don’t mess with mother nature,
Cause havoc she will wreak.

From the earth we were created
We came from the dirt and the sand

Never take with out asking her
And always give back to the land.

We live because she’s so precious,
She gives us the air we breath.

So plant many  seeds to keep her happy,
Before the earth we leave.

We have abused here for so long,
Who knows if she will ever recover.

Love and Treat her right,
So she leaves us new things we can discover.

Without her or her sun,
we would never survive.

Be sure to treat her right,
So all living things stay alive.

Time never stops,
Time has infinite ranges.

Maybe its only short term,
What can I say life changes.

Many people we Will meet,
With some we'll have life exchanges.

Some come to change lifes path,
What can I say life changes.

Life is filled  with ups and downs,
Just like Great mountain ranges.

Many obstacles throughout  our life,
What can I say life changes

Moving on in life,
From those who cause disarranges.

Hard choices we must make,
What can I say life changes.

Keeping  our eyes on the mark,
Just as they do at gun ranges.

Be strong and never giving up,
What can I say life changes.

Embracing life no matter what we do,
Never be afraid of changes.

Never changing how we love,
But what can I say Life changes.

Staying positive is key,
When turning life's many pages.

Keep that smile on your face,
Even through life's many changes.

I will love you on your worst day,
I will love you on your best.

I will love when your wide awake,
Or  if your tired and need to rest.

I will love you when you're to busy,
And have a 1000 things to do.

But the biggest reason I’ll love you,
Is just for being you.

I will love you when you're healthy,
And when you're  sick in bed.

I’ll take care of all the little things,
No words will have to be said.

You wish is my desire,
You deserve nothing but the best.

I will love you unconditionally,
My love I will always confess.

I will always let you know,
How you make me feel.

The one thing I can promise,
My love will always be real.

Twinkle twinkle little star
how are you today.

I want to see my little buddy,
clouds please move out the way.

glowing in the sky ,
you are always shining bright.

I never see you in the day,
you only come out at night.

So much I want to tell you,
so much you need to hear.

I want to tell you of the one I love,
And all my dreams this year.

When I wish upon you my friend,
I never tell a soul.

In hopes my dreams do come true,

Twas the night before new years,
and all through the land.

They came by the thousands,
with a drink in their hand.

Waiting for that moment,
and watching the clock.

As some of them screamed,
bring me another shot.

Some came early
and the party begun.

And before you knew it,
3,2,1 the old year was done.

The party went on,
and they continued to drink.

Some peed on the floor,
and some in the sink.

Lots of them partied,
till 3 or till 4.

As they woke up curious,
How they ended up on the floor.

Where are my *******,
and where is my blouse.

why am I waking up,
In some strange persons house.

Well the party is over,
And they had lots of fun.

Happy New Year to all its January 1.

Good  night all you wonderful people,
It's time to shut down my mind.

I hope to wake in the morning,
To see what knowledge I can find.

Never ever stop growing,
Learn all life has to teach.

Be the one to share your wisdom,
Not  the one who choses to preach.

Wisdom they can not offer,
They never  continued to grow.

Always skipping like a record,
The same old story they show.

Trying to control the masses,
They are starting to lose their grip.

Do you believe in  their story,
That all amimals fit on one ship.

How did it sail the oceans,
Was it slaves that maned the ores.

Did they find a new continent,
  or did they never end up on shore.

There  is more to life  then we realize,
There's  more to how we exsist,

Show me in your bible
These  stories some can't resist.

There are over 7000 thousand  religions,
Prove which one is real.

There is only Good and Evil,
But it's all in what you feel.

Trying to control the masses,
Is how the term God was created.

As priest touch little boys,
All along While they  masterbated.

Money is the root of all evil,
But yet in God they trust.

It's like the Easter bunny or Santa claus,
Your  stories are all a big bust.

it's a game we are born to play.

To many different obstacles,
each and every day.

Always trying harder,
always giving your best.

and worries upon our chest.

Live life in the moment,
whether in happiness or in sorrow.

Love like it's our last day,
we are never promised tomorrow.

Sitting here thinking,
All I can think about  is you.

Thoughts throughout my head,
At least I know I'm  true.

Not trying to be awkward,
Or chase you far away.

You have my utmost respect,
I feel that I must say.

I hope you don’t mind,
I will never ever offend.

Words lost or been hidden.
I’m not one that likes to pretend.

Don’t get me wrong,
I’m one that  you can trust.

But if I keep all this inside,
My mind would probably bust.

Theses words that I say,
Come from a genuine heart.

My words when I'm inspired,
I turn them into art.

You truly inspire my thoughts,
You really inspire my soul.

Put the pen to paper,
My words they start to flow.

My soul you have awakened,
It’s been sound asleep.

I only can hope and pray,
You don’t think I’m really a creep.

Time apart,
Time standing still.

Lost moments of time,
We find what is real.

A woman so gentle,
A woman so kind.

A priceless work of art,
That we struggle to find.

So many fakes,
When seen at first glance.

Protect what is valuable,
When given the chance.

A woman so great,
That’s been battered and bruised.

A woman so wonderful,
That seems to get used.

What can one say,
But life can be mean.

You’re a beautiful woman,
An elegant Queen.

You’re a hidden Picasso,
Or a cherished Van Gogh,

A priceless work of art,
Never be afraid to let it show.

You're a rare find,
Sorry for their loss.

Your not just some peasant,
You my friend are a Boss.

Ever have a nightmare
keep reoccurring in your head.

If it happens why we are awake
We may be better off dead.

Things must go unanswered
How did this all start.

Wishing you could stop the pain,
Deep within your heart.

Heavy with guilt and sorrows,
Never being  able to speak.

How do you stop the pain inside,
Or find answers that you seek.

Monsters in your head
Eating at your soul.

Trying to subdue the beast,
Or at least be in control.

Lost dignity  from ones actions,
The pain will always persist.

It gets harder to control these demons,
Their power you must resist.

All we can  do is ask for forgiveness,
As we  pray and hope for the best.

We are still will be left with our demons
And pain upon our chest.

They say the key to healing,
Is speaking of the past.

But when words are never spoken,
The demons takeover fast.

Your mind becomes their playground,
And that’s where they stay and play.

Eating at Your emotions,
Each and every day.

Creating unbearable sadness,
By Tearing apart your soul.

Emptying out your insides,
Leaving behind a hole.

The monsters keep on clawing,
And dancing in your head.

Taking away your happiness ,
Wishing you were dead.

Dealing with guilt and sorrows,
Is how they all survive.

Hoping all the pain will end,
Just so you stay alive.

Their voices are getting louder,
Each and every day.

Trying to find the strength,
So I can keep them all at bay.

Your day is upon us,
Mothers day is almost here.

I sit and think of you daily,
And oh i miss you so dear.

Things suddenly happened,
And we slowly grew apart.

But I never stopped loving you,
With every inch of my heart.

My anger for my step dad,
Sent me far away,

I had to pay the price,
Each and every day.

I flew from the nest,
And hung with the wrong crew.

Another bad choice,
But still I always loved you.

Many demons inserted,
Deep into my soul.

Questions I always had,
No answers I was told.

I built up my walls,
And shut everyone out.

Screaming inside my head,
Letting all the anger out.

Even though,
I was anguished with pain.

My love  for you,
Always remained,

A life lesson learned,
A little to late.

I’m sorry Momma,
For choices I hate.

I’m miss you so dearly,
I want you to know.

But because of you,
I’ve been able to grow.

Into who I am,
And who I’ve become.

I’ll love you forever,
I’m happy I’m your son

Never expect anything
From someone you really love.

Always hope for the best,
And Prepare for the lack thereof.

If we have no Expectations,
Then we can have no pain.

If we live with expectations,
we are only to blame.

When we get hurt,
and
have a heart filled with sorrow.

Just hope for the best,
And pray for tomorrow.

Don’t live a life
with expectations,
Live a life filled with hope.

Then you can truly live ,
Instead of having to cope.

With the expectations you set,
That caused your broken heart.

Cause you expected way
to much,
Right from the very
start.

Trying not to sway.

And not being able to say.

For now I’ll carry your burden,
For now I’ll carry your pain.

Not wanting to see your heart torn out.
And run over by a train.

I can already feel your sadness,
I know it’s going to be bad,

It really ***** being connected,
I always know when your sad.

Just know I’ll be here when that time comes,
I’ll always be a great friend.

This is how I stay loyal,
By your side I’ll be  till the end.

A  mind never truly sleeps,
Even when we close our eyes.

Thoughts spinning around my head,
My mind never tells no lies.

Words tend to find their way out,
Passing through my soul,

Sometimes racing so fast,
Unsure how this will go.

Birds singing in the trees,
Waves crashing on the beach.

Sometime I struggle to find the words,
They dance just out of my reach.

Sometimes people don’t listen,
Wondering if they really care.

Maybe it’s they don’t understand,
And that’s what causes their fear.

Spend some time inside my head,
If you truly want to know me.

The Possibilities are endless,
Until then that's  where I’ll be.

Many words are left unspoken,
To many words that are never said.

We always wait till it’s to late,
Then words can never be said.

Words should never be hateful,
Words should always be kind.

People may be forgotten,
But mean words are left behind.

Be grateful for our loved ones,
Be helpful to the weak.

Be kind to all humanity,
Starts with the words we speak.

Be honest with your intentions,
Because feelings will get hurt.


Truthful words need To be spoken,
Like that’s not a matching shirt.

Why  are people so thoughtless,
In saying terrible things.

Stop and think of the pain you'll  cause,
And the sadness it may bring.

It’s  your  beauty that I see.

A beauty so deep and vibrant,
That’s how you will always be.

A beauty so pure and natural,

Just like a dark moonlit sky.

A beauty that is unspoken,
Every where you go.

Blessed you are a friend.

My mind is tired and wary,
So many thoughts I  do keep.

So Many thoughts hidden inside,
Even when I sleep.

Many many emotions,
Running through my head.

To many to take with me,
When I’m gone and dead.

Some they make me happy,
Others they make me sad.

Thoughts that come from anger,
Others that make me mad.

Thoughts that bring me laughter,
some serious and not to funny.

Some feel like a rainy day,
Others are bright and sunny,

Thoughts that’s cause great anguish,
Others that’s cause great pain.

Ones that cause me calmness,
That help to keep me sane.

Wishing I had someone to listen,
That truly would understand.

But till then I sit in silence,
Doing the best that I can.

Worry not for their loss.

But people are in our lives for a reason,
Paths are meant to Be crossed.

Always trying to pay it forward,
So when this life does end.

I know I helped out many,
Even if they were not a friend.

Reflections in the mirror,
Foot prints in the sand.

Looking at who we are,
Leaving impressions when we can.

All we see is an outer shell,
Not knowing what’s inside.

Never knowing ones struggles,
With a smile they always  hide.

To many like to pass judgment,
For reasons  they’ll never know.

If one would take the time to care,
This is how one grows.

Stop staring in the mirror,
Your reflection is all you see.

Instead take time look inside yourself,
That’s the way it should be

We all have many flaws,
We all make many mistakes.

If you truly want to understand,
Then spend the time That it takes.

Some shells can easily be opened,
Others will take some time.

Being honest, loyal and caring,
It’s amazing what one can find.

I know that I am not perfect,
An I’ll never pretend to be.

When I look it that mirror,
It’s more than a reflection I see.

When my time is up,
And I’m just as memory.

Just look back at the sand,
My impressions will always be.

Wandering through a forest,
In the deepest dark of night.

Not knowing where to go,
Our thoughts turn into fright.

Unable to see the paths,
Not knowing which way to go.

One must look inside themselves,
And use the knowledge that they know.

No one there to help us,
The journey we must go alone.

When one learns the meaning of life,
Then the paths are shown.

Some are fighting demons,
Others are fighting fears.

Some have voices in their head,
That have been around for years.

Some are sad and lonely,
Others just really depressed.

Some just have many burdens,
They carry upon their chest

No matter what one struggles with,
In their deepest dark of night.

It doesn't  stay dark forever,
Stay strong till you see the light.

Why do we self destruct,
When we're so close to our goals.

Some find it hard to interpret,
Why  others  seem to know.

We can be our worst enemy,
Our souls seem
filled with doubt.

We must continue on our journey,
It's what Life's all about.

Conquering all our emotions,
Conquering all our fears.

Sometimes for a brief moment,
While other times it takes many years.

Never giving up,
Always pushing forward.

Never losing hope.
Never being cornered.

Our journey will be long.
So always stay true to our self.

Never giving up on hope,
BY placing
our struggles upon a shelf.

Always keep pushing forward
No matter
how hard it gets.

And keep on living life,
With love and no regrets.
