Traveler
In an effort
To be rewritten
Or rather
Be rid of
A lack of remittance
And a reputation there of

I leap into the darkness
Of a complicated mind
One must ride the lightning
To justify the lines

Though these insinuations
Seem intended to intrigue
Never mistake a Traveler
  For some old hippy freak...

We're all powerless!
Nothing is in our control;
not when we die,
not when we were born,
not what we do.
Law stops us or at least most of us.
We don't choose what we learn,
that was decided long before we were around
and will continue long after we go.
We are powerless!
We are unimportant,
unheard of,
silent.
Unless we have talent
even then
we are powerless!
We are the superior species,
we run the world,
we destroy everything!
Natural
or what we created,
we destroy ourselves,
the land were animals roamed
dinosaurs maybe,
now just a city skyline.
Just concrete.
We are powerless!
We are overrun by destruction,
by ourselves,
our systems,
our ideas of right and wrong.
We are powerless!
No matter how many persuaded
there is always
one
who remains in the past!
One
who will not change!
One
who is stronger than us!
that one
leaves us powerless.
When I see you and my heart drops
and it almost stops
Is it Love
When I can not wait to see you
and I do not ask, is this really true
Is it Love
When I have made my mind up
and I do not think it over
Is it Love
When you are enough
And I want to give everyone else up
Is it Love
When it is not just another hookup
and I do not want to ***** it up
Is it Love
When we smile
While looking at each other face to face
Is it Love
When we do not mind sharing the same space
no matter the someplace
Is it Love
When we embrace
and we do not go to first base
Is it Love
When I knew in one moment
and I stop hoping
Is it Love
When I do not ask for more
and it's you I adore

Is it love
When I do not ask anymore

When I Look at You

I see love.
I see
beauty.

God, how I love you.
Such
warmth, strength, and loyalty.

It emanates from your soul.

You were meant for me,
and I,
was meant for you.

This love,
this love is
everlasting.  

I
will
love
you
always
and
forever.
A poem for my darling husband ...
Wrapped in the fireplace
of your arms. Warmed by
the trust in your smile.
The night and our love

Are acquainted. You cuddle close
and feel my heart. I brush your
hair away from your face.
The window and the rain

Are old friends. Soft candlelight
washes over our skin,
soft music over our repose.
The ambiance and timing

Couldn't be better. I look
down at you, you're falling asleep.
I kiss your forehead
and whisper, Sleep well.

With eyes closed, you sigh
and reply, Then don't go.

sometimes you have to go deeper
the seam you thought would never end, is gone, for now,
all mined out
and no one says that is going to be easy
set out you must all the same
and no one can tell you how deep your search will take you
just keep digging in your own unique way.
