A father, a husband, a lover, and a gentle soul
I miss you
I love you, Grandpa

Red is the color she blushes when I tell her how genuinely adorable her laugh is.
Yellow is the color of the sun that enhances her angelic personality.
Green is the color of the grass that sways beneath her feet, graced by each footstep.
Blue is the color of sadness, almost palpable, when she can't find the right words to say.
White is the color of everything beautiful that circles her soul.
Brown is the color of her coffee eyes, warming me like no other could possibly do.
Black is the color, absent of her cruelty, as she has none to fool me.
Oh, she lives in colors.

I have a poetry compilation that is available for purchase.
Not many are purchasing it, though.
It's difficult for writers who aren't published through a legitimate publishing company.
I'm self-published, but that does not mean my writing is anything less than pleasing to read.
I want to connect with people through my poetry.
Well, that can only happen if people purchase it to read.
I promise that you are not alone in what we all go through in life.
We're all in the same boat.
Some people try to sink us.
Some people try to save our future.
Would you give it a read?
It is not about me.
It's about you and the world we need.
So, please follow this link.
The world is smaller than you think.

Your brother was sitting in the car across the parking lot.
He flicked the headlights on and off to bother you, but it didn't.
You focused your thoughts and whispered in my ear,
"I love you."
You looked like an angel with those headlights beaming against your cheek in the darkness.
I pulled you against me.
"Good, because I love you, too."
I softly spoke those words in the cold, quiet air between us.
I couldn't stop smiling, even as we both drove our separate ways leaving the parking lot.
I swear the stars shined brighter that night.

Your voice,
Ah, it lures and seduces
My resistance is useless
Confused, yes
I come closer
My heart bolstered
Up high on a pedestal
My feelings run
From the space in between
To the space in your dreams
This is sweetly irresistible
Sweetly, I embrace you whole
And we are one

Cut
Little razors
I rake them across my mind
Our porcelain frame isn't meant to be maimed
It's too beautiful
It's far too delicate
Besides, it's easier to be in pain
If the agony lives solely in your brain

Tracing your tongue along my lips
Cover my skin with fingertips
Oh, the ecstasy of touching me
Even softly, gently, carefully
It is then that I realize how alive I really am

Walking beside you
Beneath skies, blue
Oh, the peace surrounds
The sounds and circles we round
They make me crave the sweetest moments
