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.

Many levels in my true being,
A life time to understand.

We are all 2 parts,
Half woman and half man.

If you chose to ignore one,
Life will always be a test.

If you choose to embrace both,
You lead a life that’s the best.

Always knowing what is right,
When things start to go array.

Feeling ones emotions,
No words one ever must say.

Loving life to the fullest,
Only the obstacles in your head.

Keeping you from your potential,
Because of words they said.

Be that mirror most do need,
A gateway To look inside.

So they can see the darkest hours,
They always seem to hide.

Holding them back from,
Where they need to be.

In the shadows they stay,
Till they are truly ready to see.

The whole meaning of life,
The way it was intended to go.

A life full of challenges,
Is the only way to GROW…

Troubled I am,
Answers I seek


Uncontrollable pain,
Weary and weak.


Answers I  wish,
Were plain to see.

I listen to you,
But the problem is me.

Yet I don't know,
What I  need to learn.

All I really know is
Tag you are it  is it really my turn.

I'm it again
Things keep dragging me down.

Kicking me harder,
Why I'm down on the ground.

When do we go forward,
Or may I say up.

Hiding my sorrows,
Hey Bartender pour another cup.

Dealing with my troubles,
always blocking them out.

Others are more important,
I thought I'd figured it out.

But lesson continue,
And life will go on

The struggles will remain,
But we must remain strong.

Your beauty is perfection,
Completely balanced you are.

Beautiful both inside and out,
You are a shooting star.

Someone I could only wish for,
Someone only in my dreams.

So connected I feel completely,
Atleast that’s the way it seems.

You slowly lift your shirt,
Exposing your silky skin.

As I gently place my hand on your back,
I feel connected from energy within.

A bond that’s hard to explain,
Words will never describe what I feel.

Is it all in my head,
Or is what I feel
truly real.

Don't ever be worried,
About the words
I say.

I will always be honest,
And real
Every step of the way.

The bond we've grown to have,
I promise to never break.

Take my hand
Walk with me,
This journey
we are meant to take.

I will be your teacher,
Yet it is I
that will be the one to learn.

I will share with you all my knowledge,
But wisdom you must earn.

I will be the light
During your darkest hours,
Next to you I will walk.

I’m here to listen
Not just to hear,
But to understand when we talk.

If you ever see me look away,
Afraid to look in your eyes.

I’m Afraid I may get lost,
Is the only reason why.

Not that getting lost is bad,
It would be an amazing trip.

I trust our bond will guide us,
We have become an unsinkable ship.

Life will be our captain,
With flow is the way we go.

Even if the seas get rough,
There’s one thing I’ll always know.

From the very beginning,
To the very.............
end.

I will today, tomorrow,and always
Be your Truest Best Friend.

Out on the beach
lying in the sand.  

From dust of the earth
comes woman and  man.

Its truly amazing,
if you stop and think.

How we've all evolved
and creature's continue to become extinct.

We are why
they die and disappear.

Just think that may be us
we need to have great fear.

Change our ways,
before its to late.  

We will be the ones,
that control our own fate.

Life doesn't end,
when are body is dead.

It continues to flourish,
from the energy in our head.

There's more to life,
then we will ever know.

It will continue on,
as some of them show.

Energy is the force,
that keeps all things going.

Even without seeing,
or ever even knowing.

It travels through time,
near and far.

It's what gives light,
to the tiniest star.

Its far beyond,
what
one will ever see.

It's what makes you you,
and what makes me me.

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.

I’ve walked through
my darkest days,
Mostly alone
trapped inside my mind.

Not knowing if
I would make it,
In the end
I left the pain behind,

Never giving up
fighting for my soul,
Even though I was battered
and torn apart.

From the demons that once consumed me,
And tried to break
my weakened heart

A heart
that was already broken,
They thought
I would be so weak.

But little did they know,
They were the answers
I did seek.

What was once
will be no more,
For what held me captive
shall never be.

For what controlled me
will never again,
For what made me Blind
beware I now can see

I now know I am blessed,
As I continue to become awake.

Don’t  for once say you see a weakness,
I to made that mistake.

Let the journey continue,
Only one obstacle  in my way.

That obstacle is me,
That I’m happy to say.

That Shall never be,
I Now love myself
with all my heart.

Why couldn’t things been easy,
Where I knew
right from the start.

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.

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.

Today we live in
a world filled with hate.

Where a lie of one
can seal anothers fate.

Some people are real,
To many are fake.

Those we associate with,
is our choice to make.

Keep our friends close,
and our enemies at our side.

Because they are the ones,
with the most secrets to hide.

They will make up stories
and deny one of the truth.

They have no loyalty, morals
  or any couth.

Misery loves company
and those few friends they'll take.

They will slither together,
Like a nest of snakes.

Waiting for just the right moment,
To strike out of spite.

They'll strike with quickness,
with there venomous bite.

Breaking you down,
and tearing you apart.

You must react quickly,
before the venom reaches your heart.

So protect yourself
and give them a fight.

Beat them with love, purity
and the truth which is right.

If I could only pick up the phone,
And hear your tender voice.

If only we could have one more day,
But we were never given that choice.

You were taken away from me,
at such a young age.

It’s been like reading a book
Yet Being unable to turn the page.

I miss you more than ever,
My pain always hidden inside.

Sometimes it slips through my broken cracks,
And I find it difficult to hide.

You truly are a blessing,
Because you gave me birth.

Then the saddest day came along,
When we gave you back to mother earth.

You will always be in my heart,
You will always be on my mind.

All the wonderful memories,
That are forever left behind.

I know you’re up there listening,
And I want to let you know.

I’ll love you for eternity,
But this Momma you already know.

I may not have all the answers,
Nor do you my friend.

Those who chose to attack me,
Have no place when it comes to an end.

The only thing you have taught me,
Was I have to always be strong.

Listen to my intuition they say,
Guess what the Angels weren’t wrong.

I’ve finally grounded myself,
My roots have started to grow deep.

I’ve finally learned who I am,
And now I’ll never be asleep.

My soul has once again been summoned,
It is my time to shine.

I’ve found my place in life,
A place that will always be mine.

Time to be the teacher,
Since I’ve been given this amazing light.

It didn’t come easy my friend,
I put up a really big fight.

Never give up searching,
For The amazing person you are.

Take a Look inside yourself,
You are that shinning star.

Words are what I feel,
Feelings are what I say.

I try to do my best,
Each and every day.

Never wearing a mask,
Like I have something to hide.

I only have one face,
This is my only side.

Some people may not like me,
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.

I try to be a positive impact,
On everyone I meet.

I celebrate my victories,
And gain knowledge from my defeat.

If you get to know me,
Just know I’ll always care.

I try always to be happy,
happiness  I hope we can share.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
