I’m not sure how much more I can take
I get pounded on time after time
I’m sure that real soon I am going to break
Why must I be tortured I committed no crime

I watch as day by day it gets worse
My sanity slowly going away
Soon I may be leaving in a hearse
I fight to stay alive every day

Every day a battle to survive
A constant struggle to continue on living
What is there but to thrive
When the world has just stopped giving

You gave the world your all
Tried to make every one happy
Trying to catch everyone before they fall
Never letting anyone get hurt to badly
This poem is currently a work in progress. A friend asked me to write him a poem for what he is going through and this is how far I have gotten.

The desire the need
All I want to is one sweet kiss
Won’t you do this one simple deed
Each passing moment even more the kiss I will miss

The desire to hold her tight
To defend her from the world’s pain
I will protect her even after I lost the fight
If ever she is hurt I will look upon myself with great disdain

The desire the need
To hear her Beautiful voice tell me
That I truly am awake indeed
Now old dreams pass and new ones are becoming the ones I want to eventually see

The desire to see her beauty that competes
With sunsets most wonderful
My stress when around her sincerely depletes
For she drives it away unknowingly with her beauty most bountiful

The desire the need
To comfort her when she is down
Away from what is stressing her I will gently lead
Until peace and quite are finally found

The desire to feel her gentle touch
As she comforts me in my time of need
Never understanding she does so much
Caring for me in both word and deed

The desire the need
To spend the rest of my days with her
My love for her will grow stronger than ever anyone has believed
Without her I will be lost for sure

The desire to wake up with my arms wrapped around her
Not a stressful thought through my head will pass
For with her I am sure
All the cares in the world have left me at last
A newer one written to my girlfriend of a year and a half.

I remember a few times,
when I almost gave up all hope,
when everything was far from fine.
And I was hanging on to the ends of a rope.

I remember these times just a little too well,
when I felt like I was in a free fall,
And when I hit the ground someone rang a bell,
my final bell and I could do nothing at all.

But I am not here to remind you of yours,
I am here because I have something to tell,
no matter how bad it gets it will get better its true,
to tell the truth there are some things in life worth going through hell.

Even though what you're going through is bad,
it doesn't mean that it’s the end of it all,
and even though you're going to get sad,
there will be a time when you want to break through the wall.

And I promise you,
that there will be times when you're glad,
if you believed these words as true,
and because of the at you didn't give up when you were sad.

So get up and get out,
don't let the bad times make you fail,
show the world what you're about,
go ahead and blaze a new trail.
This poem is an older one. It was for some of my friends who were going through a rough time.

This ring is one of the most important things you will ever hold in your hand. For this ring is not just a ring but a promise. A promise that in itself is my whole heart ******* into. With this ring I am pledging my eternal love towards you. I have thought of this moment for many months and I am happy to say it is finally here.

Love in today’s culture is not what it used to mean. People fall in and out of “love” so fast now. I hope that you and I can set the standard for our generation. Together you and I will go through thick and thin, health and sickness, rich and poor. But we shall not let that slow us down. For our love is true. Our love is eternal. I know that together we can face anything. For love can overcome all things.

I cannot promise that things will always be perfect. I cannot promise that there will never be a time where you will cry. But I can promise that I will lend you my shoulder and cry with you. I cannot promise you that there will be no pain. But I can promise you that I will be there to comfort you. I cannot promise that there will be times where there is sadness. But I can promise that I will be there to make you laugh. I cannot promise that I will never make you mad. But I promise you that I will do everything in my power to see you smile.

I have thought of this moment for many months now trying to figure out the perfect way to do it. Should I go down on one knee, should I try to be sneaky, where should I go, when should it be. But one thing came to mind while thinking about all this. None of it matters as long as you are there and always will be there for me.

With this ring I am asking a lot of you. I am not asking for part of your life I am asking for your whole life and in return I promise to give you all of mine.


Will you marry me?
I used this letter to ask my fiance to marry me. She said yes and the wedding date is may 10th 2014

Oh fire what a friend I have made in you. You bite me if I am not careful but when I take care and watch what you are doing it is like I am unburnable. I can remember how often I have resorted to burning things from my past, fire you are my hero for you have made me forget all things needed to be forgotten. I feel you flowing through my veins at times, oh fire it is you that reminds me when I am human for it is as if it is your bite that brings me back to my senses and wakes me from my sleep.

At last when my heart almost lost its shine
When the glow of it had long since past
Your heart sought after mine
And when it was found my shine and warmth was back at last

I count no more wasted tears
No more echoes do I hear of their fall
No more wasted years
The time I spend with you makes it worth it all

I fear no more time or fate
For they no more can bring burdens to my heart nor brow
Between us the love is strong that was discovered late
And forever more will our souls keep it now.

Because of you
My world once broken is now whole
Love again lives in my soul
Can you believe that it is true

I love you
I love the way you can see right through me
I love the way you call me on my masks that you know aren’t true
I will always love you can’t you see

I’d like to say
I fell in love with you at first sight
But that would be a lie
And now to how I’ll shed some light

No it might not have been love at first sight
But then again I hadn’t really seen you until that one night
From that night on I always wanted to hold you tight
And protect you with all my might

You see it all started with those long summer nights
Talking from dusk till dawn
I was in the dark and you were my light
Towards you I was clearly drawn

It started with a slight feeling
Whenever I was talking to you
I didn’t quite understand with what I was dealing
But for each day we talked the feeling grew stronger and it intentions true

I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life
And ended up hurting you
It was killing me knowing that I was filling you with strife
After to long of a wait I knew what I had to do

I did what was right
I let you fully into my life
Since then you have been in my thoughts ever since that night
And to you I gave my heart to hold for the rest of my life

Then came a night that I had been waiting for
What night why prom of course
It didn’t matter how small the floor
For there was few slow songs of that there is remorse

Before long it was time for Belize
I was so excited for a week with you
But there was such a torture set in place I couldn’t believe
To hold you tight I couldn’t do

Now it’s almost a year
Man how time flew
And As I look back through time in my magic mirror
I know I will forever want to be with you.

Its been a year
A wonderful year
A beautiful year
An amazing year

Through thick and thin
Through Joy and sorrow
We have made it and I plan to do it again
With you by my side I will always be ready for the morrow

Some people need time away from the one they love after only a year
But I find I’m having quite the opposite effect
Each day, hour, minute that passes by to you I want to get ever more near
I deeply hope to you I have the same affect

I’ve never before experienced the feelings I have for you
I find it amazing how the slightest hint of your perfume brings a smile to my face
And as I wrap my arms around you I know this love I feel is true
For each second I hold you my heart steadily increases its pace

You are always there for me
You always listened to me when I was in my darkest times
The way out you would always help me see
Your voice during those times sounded as beautiful as a set of chimes

I will be yours and you will be mine
For this year and years to come
Together we are the perfect design
Our hearts as one beating like a single drum

Together you and me
Will make as close to perfect family
As anyone ever did see
An example of how to live we will be

Its been a year
A great year
A fast year
An eventful year

Though time may pass
and settings change
it doesn't mean you have to.
  
While you are away planning for your future
don't forget about your past
for it is part of what made you this way.

Though you may make new friends
don't forget about your old ones
for they're the ones that hold you near and dear

And though your free time may few and far between
we ask if you could spare a minute or two
to contact us from time to time
This note was originally planned for my graduating class of high school but it was never even processed. Let me know if any of you like it.

Oh how I wish I was younger more now then ever,
For I think I have found what I have been looking for,
For the girl I have found I think I could be with forever,
But of the time I have left with her I wish for more.

When I see her my heart screams with joy,
And the air is filled with my long forgotten laughter,
And the time with her I spend I truly enjoy,
She leaves me with a smile even after.

Even though the time I have actually known her isn't long,
For many think I'm insane,
For the year I have left I wish to prolong,
For when I'm with her I forget about my pain.

I want to hold her tight and make her stay,
But right now I can only ponder,
As I hope and pray every day,
That away from me she will never wander.

But right now keep a promise I must,
A promise I made after getting hurt to much,
Because if I can’t keep my own word why in me would anyone trust,
And because of this promise this love I cannot touch.

So now the question comes in this promise should I keep,
Should I cross the final line,
Because though the promise was made to be deep,
The reward from jumping over the line would be divine.

Cross I did that final line
The reward was entirely sublime
And we together are doing just fine
I am hers and she is mine

To feel the touch of rain drops,
Oh how exquisite that would feel,
But I know that feeling is to never be felt again,
Because for the rest of eternity I am stuck here in hell.

I am stuck in this place of torture,
I can only stand and scream as I get burnt from eternally burning flames,
I can only wish that I could grab the glass of water not even 5 inches away from my fingertips,
And If I ever did reach it right as I get a drink it turns to sand or more flames.

I am here for eternity because somebody didn't stop and tell me what I needed to know,
All the chances you could have had,
I blame this on you,
How could you let this happen to me.

Were you to worried about your "reputation,
That you thought that spending time with me just to talk about how JESUS changed your life,
Would make you feel like an outcast?
Well guess what because of your selfishness I'm here, Thanks alot.

With this ring comes a promise. You must be willing to accept it before you wear it. The promise is to love me for as long as possible as I will you. To love me through all the hard times that are yet to come as I will you. To love me and nurture me back to health on the days where I am sick as I will you. To love me and comfort me when I need it as I will for you. But most of all when the day comes where all that matters to be said is “I do”  when I say those words you will not hesitate to say them back to me.

Our love is not fragile, it is not shallow. Our love is strong and none can fathom how deep.
Our love is not short, it is not passing. Our love is for a lifetime and it is here to stay.
Our love is not one sided, it is not full of doubt. Our love is open and it is built on trust.
Our love is not for you or for me. Our love is for US.


Some say that the journey into life begins when you first enter this world. I have a theory that there are multiple journeys of life in the life that you live. There is obviously the journey into becoming a adolescence and then teenager (it is coupled with school). When that ends there is the journey into adulthood (can be accompanied by but not limited to college, vehicles, taxes, jobs, stress). But I believe the two most important journeys in life are the ones about love. The first one begins when you are first born, the second one begins when you find the right person. The first one is finding the person you belong with that you love with every fiber of your being. The second journey is simply to spend the rest of your life with this person. And as I have went through both of these (the first being a bit rough to start) I ask you  to join me in starting the second journey of love. I want you to be my lifelong partner in exploring the world.


If you choose to make this promise all you have to do is put this ring on your finger, and I will be yours for life.
I wrote this to go with a promise ring that I bought my girlfriend

What would happen if love became a word. I mean what if it meant nothing more then just a word to say. Just a word, no meaning at all. What if the word love got tossed around like a dogs old tennis ball (or toy), and it meant just as much as that old ball/toy.
Would it make a difference, would it matter at all?Would the world be strung in disarray, because no one would be able to tell a truth from a lie. Would there be any trust between husband and wife, parents and their children?

All that read this please leave a comment about what you think the world would be like without love, because I believe that is where we as a nation are heading.
Also don't be afraid to leave different opinions.

— The End —
