He sat alone in life for the most part
Writing verses from a poets true heart
Along the paths he had chosen and taken
But all of the time his soul was forsaken
Anger built up and was never released
Rarely in life did he ever find peace

Feelings below in a silent volcano
Eruptions awaiting a violent crescendo
Walls crumbling beneath darkened skies
He kept it hidden so nobody knew why
Inside his body he just wanted to die
He wrote of his pain in a note of suicide

He felt only if somewhere existed peace
Beyond heavens gates for some release
This cherished path he would now take
His destiny of peace his chosen fate
Rainbows and angels of beauty float
It was his final wish in his suicide note

I remember on a visit back in 1983
Incredible beauty I had never seen
Reddish dusty land, nature everywhere
Every teenagers perfect little dream to share

Crystal clear night-time, universal skies
Perfection to behold upon your very eyes
Astronomical dreams for all to feast
All my imaginations where finally released

Coyotes back then howling in the night
Till early night and of first morning light
Mount Lemmon snow kissed on the top
Never seen such beauty, as my jaw dropped

Visits to the Mountains, Kitt Peak Observatory
This was always the perfect place for me
Memories I keep in pictures over thirty years ago
Always cherished more than any words could show

My heaven on Earth Arizona so beautiful.

Every night that I pass you by
I just let out a heartfelt sigh
I want you to feel my pain
That you left inside my brain

I took your pain I want it all
But like a fool I want some more

With all the pain and hatred
That you instigated
Leaves me feeling capitulated
With my heart you infiltrated

I took your pain I want it all
But like a fool I want some more

You knew which buttons to press
You had nice touches to impress
But I could never understand or digress
That you would not confess your evilness

I took your pain I want it all
But like a fool I want some more

You have your ways to tie me up
You just cut me up and spill my blood
In your evil ways there is no love
I suffer in pain of tears that flood

I took your pain I want it all
But like a fool I want some more



Sometimes a song title inspires me to write a verse only sometimes...

Open your heart
Like a wall chart
Let me read you
Am I getting through
Words are hard to find
Difficult to define
Champagne on ice
Cuts my heart with a knife
Until my love flows for you
Fall into my arms
I will just say
With you I stay
Till my final day
Our favourite songs we will play
All through the night into the day
Memories of the past
No longer last
This is the start
Open your heart

1990 one of my first poems

Through the passage of time we live in another world
In another dream we believe our plans are now unfurled
We cannot touch what's not there for us to hold
Changing water into wine.. turning silver into gold..
Life can be so confusing.. and with no answers inaudible..
Emotions then take over for all to see uncontrollable..
When there are no words there are feelings that show
Private to us.. it's a part of us we don't want nobody to know

Yet when we lose someone close and we feel the pain
All the voices of condolences we hear bring more tears of rain
And life still becomes more confusing as every second ticks
And there is no way to reverse time and fix the things to fix
Clouded and blurred my words may seem to all that read
But for me it starts to heal the pain and scars.. 'it's what I need'
Just for now I will live in another world alone a place so serene
Till I feel the time is right for me.. to live another dream..

Emotional Man is my poetry pen name on another website.

If love was like the wind
Always changing directions
Mysterious and unexplored
Adventures into new realms
Held captive in your heart
Your imagination explodes
Hand in hand shared thoughts
Love's an adventure for both
Often rocked by storms
To test faithfulness to extremes
To see who is true with love
And who will weather the storms
Staying together the prize
Of true eternal love from the soul

But alas not all survive the test
And true love is not always meant to be
Sometimes the damage is done
And nature takes its own cause
Separation and heartache is the recipe
That brings to an end, broken love
Bitter is the taste and hard to swallow
These changes bring new adventures
And new lives and relationships
But new adventures bring new challenges
Always changing direction
If love was like the wind
