Love
it cost nothing, it is freely given and it is easily felt.
It transcends time and  Space,  

Love is like a faucet that can't  be turned off. Nor can it be erased. But it does grow , it has a life force all it's own.

It  Stirs our very soul.. It can make you  Laugh ..it can make you Cry..

For love,,nations have gone to war.

Love need not be spoken and yet  it can be felt,.
through the touch of a hand ,
the look in your eyes.
And the tenderness of a kiss .

A simple  Gesture of kindness is all it takes.
If only this remember,,

love can't be faked.
A poem for my niece
Thank you for you kindness

As we walked and spoke on that sunny day.
We talked about the things we loved,
and

we spoke of the wars he had Fought. And His battles of life.

when his face turned sad and he asked. have you heard from my son..
I miss him really bad.
I never see him anymore do you know where he's at.
we use to go fishing,
and I really miss that .. do you think he's mad.
He's all grown up now
It's been so long ..I can't remember his face.
do you know where he's at.
As the tears rolled down my face
I said yes,
I know where he's at
And no dad
I'm not mad..
It's so sad when your love ones have this..
They see you but cant remember
Who you are..breaks my heart..

We love we hate we fear.
All hearts at one time are shattered to pieces .we hold close and dear some of these pieces from our life .they're what make us who we are they are what causes us to fight.
Without this pain are we truly alive
Or
Just  Emotionless ghost passing in time

I saw the vampires last night ...
Racing out ,
out into the midnight air..

I saw them last night under the Moonlight ..
Moonlight so bright  it pierced the mist of the night..

Darkness surrounds
Their pale white skin so pale it shines with luster against the darkness,  and lacks any signs of life ..

The fast chatter from there lips I hear them speak ...
but  can't  understand..


just a faded shaded image blurring against the darkened painted pallet of nights life ...

As I hide in the shadows...
Hoping they not  see..

I saw the vampires
Come out last night.
Just hollowed shells of memories past.
They are Not the same people
Just blurred images
That Speak fast .

I saw the vampires come out last
Night.
After being gone from my home town for over 20years I come home to find most of the people i new back then. now on drugs like ****..
This is how I saw them ..
It broke my heart to see what this drug does to people..

I write because you do not see..

those things I feel, those things inside of me..
I write because you cannot hear ..
the voices the ones I hear..

I wright because my heart has been freed..
I write because of the love i have for thee.

I write because I want you to see..
Me...
i write because you can not see...

In these moments of spoken verse..
I feel it less my nightmare this curse..
this pool of silence and the call of death.
The tap, tap, and the Ravens breath.
Do you hear me Poe!!..
as I  lay me down to rest ..that knocking,, that tapping,, and the sound of the ravens breath ..
My ode to Edgar allen Poe.
One of my favorite dark writers.
