Today is a new day.
A fresh start.
I move forward to what is to come.
There is hope for my future.
I work towards a goal and do not stop until I have reached it.
Then, I make a new goal to work towards.
I am relentless.
There will be obstacles.
I do not succumb to the endless distractions in and out of my line of sight.
I will be heroic.
Taking on the challenges that lay in my path as I make my way.
It will not be easy.
It is my expectation that it will not be, and if it comes easy to me then I am not doing it right.
That has always been the way.
I bask in the idea that there are some people out there who would like to see me fail.
It is all the motivation I need to obtain the success I have envisioned for myself.
I will triumph.
I will leave a legacy behind me that I am proud of, that will stand the test of time.
Death may come to my body, but in the minds of others, I will live for an eternity.
Distance stands between us
The time is growing near
That I'll get to hold my sweetheart
My darling, my dear
There's excitement running through me
There's a skip in every step
My smiles' worn for all to see
Until my hearts content
Time has become a blessing now
When I thought it to be a curse
I'm unsure how this will all play out
But in my mind its been rehearsed
My anticipation is off the charts
That my beloved should now appear
It's like nothing I've encountered
Not once in all my years
The joy I feel is boundless
Yet it still hasn't reached its peak
I'm certain to approach its limits
Once our two hearts finally meet
To try and describe this feeling
Words just seem so obsolete
For emotion is heard its loudest
When ones heart skips a beat
I picture fireworks and neon lights
Yet nothing so discrete
That moment that our eyes do fix
I'll know what it’s like to be complete.
There, before my very eyes
You stood
Weeping
I spread out my arms
You took my invitation
And we embraced
The comfort eased your pain
The tears dried
And you struck a smile
Which in turn
Made me smile
We shared a moment
A tender moment
Life is a series of moments
Each, in their own right,
Magical
Terrifying
Telling a story
A drama
A comedy
A horror
A love story
Moments
Moments in time
They are what make us
Or break us
Covet them
For they are our life’s blood
My mind and body can’t agree
On what the hell to do with me
See, I’ve lived my life afraid to live
I’ve got so much more I still can give
But I am selfish, an introvert
I shy away when I feel hurt
Protecting all that I hold dear
Living out my days in fear
I shudder at the thought of change
That somehow I’ll drown in the rain
Barely noticed, I feel restrained
From the noise inside my brain
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Enough to drive a man insane
And now it’s time to end the game
No contenders, mine to claim
It’s hard for me to explain
Like art, I feel stuck in a frame
No excuses, none to blame
I’d surrender if it’s all the same
And live my life that’s too mundane
While ending up in the hall of shame
A chip
A challenge
A *** of gold
Pushed in the middle
By a couple of pros
Holding
Folding
A pair
A stare
Winning
Losing
Nothing compares
A rush
A jolt
Nervous despair
A win
A loss
A chip and a chair
A river
A boat
High card in my hand
Skill and some luck
A dealer with flare
Attempting to bluff
The tension in air
All in for the win
And a moment of prayer
If you guessed poker.
You’re right
Breathless
You leave me
On a fine day
In the hot summer
Craving
Yearning for
A cool breeze

You’re majestic
A flower petal
Beautiful and sweet
The nectar
The pollen
In the summers heat

In the yard
Sunbathing
Soaking in the sun
Lemonade
And ice
Dancing on my tongue

Birds chirping
Bees buzzing
Bright and green
And blue
Heat wave
On a Sunday afternoon
Inspired
When bat meets ball
It makes a loud crack
It may be gone
It might be fouled back

It’s a game of inches
You never can tell
But if it’s a home run
You can bet they’ll all yell

Oh, look at that!
It’s a ball through the hole
The right fielders got it
He’s going to throw home

Is he safe?!
Is he out?!
It’s the umpires call
The ump called him safe!
The catcher dropped the ball

The boy who was safe
Runs with glee
Wow!, What spirit!
What a great team!
