Crush
She passed along the note
She herself wrote
Grinning, as it was passed
Trying not to gloat
She knew she’d strike a cord
To be loved and adored
She’d do anything to prove her love
Like swallowing a sword
Or maybe not so drastic
But that’s what she’s leaning towards

Bringing Color To My Gray
I wish I was in love
Or just the feeling of
The euphoric bliss
The sultry kiss
Together, when push comes to shove

I wish I were elite
Head down to my feet
The hero of the day
While bringing color to my gray
Completely mesmerizing
In your own special way

Amber Pedals
Amber pedals mixed with gold
Picturesque, truth be told
Something simply beautiful
In a world that can be cold
Yet, they still rise and bloom
On sunny afternoons
In the spring they’re free to roam
Along a country road
And wave to passers by
On the highway to the sky

Mining For Diamonds
I’ve been mining for a diamond
I’ve found only shards of glass
That pierce the skin and produce blood
But I know this too shall pass
I’ll find the jewel I seek in time
I know this to be true
Then I’ll mount it on a wedding ring
And wait for your “I do”

1000 Poems
1000 poems speak volumes
A picture has no words
There is beauty in the two of them
It’s just something that occurs
If they’re done correctly
Each one forms a work of art
To be read or looked upon
As matters of the heart

🎲 Rolling The Dice 🎲
I left her there in the dust
What I thought was love
was just lust
I believed only her I could trust
About intimate secrets discussed
But she sold me out for a price
What she said wasn’t very nice
Before I trust again, I’ll think twice
Too scared of rolling the dice

Within Reach
Emerging from a blossomed lotus‬
‪She’d found enlightenment and chi‬
‪A vital element, to be at one‬
‪With all life and energy ‬

‪The pappus of the dandelion ‬
‪Floats away the seed‬
‪Until all have gone, with budding fruit ‬
‪To fertilize and breed‬

To sprout and be reborn
Seeking warmth in rays of sun
And shelter from the storm
That inevitably will come

It’s nature we should nurture
Find balance, inner peace
It’s within our rights to have it
And well within our reach

I Remember The Day
I remember the day
I sacrificed the sun
The moon and all the stars
The laughter and the fun
I remember the day
The day I saw you last
Summer in the backyard
Horseplay in the grass
I remember the day
Your arms fell by your side
A tear fell from your eye
All gravity defied
I remember the day
You took me by surprise
Making funny faces
Seducing with your eyes
I remember the day
You took my hand in vein
Did your best to explain
How teardrops mix with rain

No Fumar
‪I’m taking in nicotine ‬
‪Coughing up smoke‬
‪Air becomes fleeting ‬
‪Volunteering to choke‬
‪Leaving me breathless ‬
‪Yet, unwilling to cope‬
‪Taking a slide ‬
‪Down a slippery ***** ‬
‪I’m at my wits end‬
‪And at the end of my rope‬
‪Until I quit once and for all‬
‪Because death is no joke‬

The Clouds Below
Clumps of fluff
Is not enough
For a gift of your true love
Shower her
With gold and jewels
And other gifts thereof
That’s the start
To her heart
When Cupid points his bow
And shoots his arrows in the air
Through the clouds below

The Journey
‪The fun is in the journey ‬
‪Passing town to town ‬
‪Seeing peoples faces‬
‪Out there in the crowd ‬

‪The fun is in the journey ‬
‪Always on the move‬
‪To a specific destination ‬
‪Or wherever they so choose

‪The fun is in the journey‬
‪To the city up the road‬
‪To a beach somewhere in Mexico‬
‪Or to other parts unknown‬

Leopard Spots
Lying in the trees
Behind the leaves and shrubs
A feline leopards spots
And her two fresh spotted cubs
Lying in wait, but always alert
Not thinking of dinner, but what’s for dessert
A feathery pheasant?
Perhaps just might do
To pluck from the sky
From whence it once flew

The Perfect Image
I stood and watched in disbelief
I couldn’t help but stare
The perfect image; specimen
Completely naked; bare
She was a stunning beauty
With pouty lips and long blonde hair
But alas I couldn’t have her
No one said that life was fair

The Closet Door
My path to happiness is spiraling
Spiraling down the drain
Locked up in the closet
Waiting to hear my name

I wait and wait
Sitting beside myself
Alone and yet together
With my declining health

There’s someone coming to save me
To open up the closet door
I hope, and hope, and hope
And then I hope some more

But there is no one that’s coming
I know what there is in store
I must face all of my demons
And nothing can come before

Not until I realize
Exactly who it is I’m doing it for
Until I break the chains that hold me down
Can I spread my wings and soar
102 · May 2020
Moon Shadow
Moon shadow glistening over salt water seas
Beach sand covered feet
Salt water breeze

Full moon looking like a big wheel of cheese
Calm and serine
Mind put at ease

Waves crashing at the base of the beach
The sky seems within reach
The moment
increased
By a fatal disease

Lying down;
Resting in peace
No need to worry
It’s just a figure of speech
A man could lose his mind
Hanging out with Father Time
Knowing that his day would surely come
But until that very day
He’ll have much more to say
Even if it’s marching to the beat of a different drum

No Time For Goodbye
There’s become something evident
That’s to my own detriment
I feel like it’s just a matter of time
Before I meet my maker
It’s no maker or breaker
The punishment just fits the crime
In a world with corruption
Lies and disruption
We failed in a lasting design
Evil roams free
Despite faith or belief
Which makes it not such a difficult bind
On one hand I leave earth
Of which I’ve hated since birth
Because my situation
Felt beyond my control
But what could I do?
I was young, with no clue
And I never had a sense of self-worth
Now that I’m older
I’ve got pain in my shoulder
And I haven’t accomplished a thing
I’ve fought and I’ve clawed
Excalibur sword
But I’m sick
And I’m too tired to swing
I know a likes just a tap
Not to sound like a sap
Or make you feel like you’re being kept on a string
But believe it or not
Just to sweeten the ***
I’m raffling off my old set of wings

Spread The Word
His body could not contain
The thoughts within his brain
He must diffuse the news
It’s too hard to refrain
When all is said and done
When there is no one left that hasn’t heard
There’s still anticipation
Before each and every word

Transparency
I’ve reached a higher level
Tried to act like it was simple
I thought we’d keep this civil
I don’t eat a lot, just nibble

But I’m still hungry, though
I’ve still got room to grow
You haven’t even peaked
Or caught a glimpse of this one man show

I’ve stepped up my game
Despite feeling ashamed
Clouds above me
Standing in the pouring rain

Somehow I feel relieved
There’s nothing up my sleeve
If you don’t like it, just leave
It’s better to give than receive

My heart is pure as gold
Out the door and down the road
It used to be that I had control
Now I’m doing what I’m told

It’s this way everyday it seems
Always paddling upstream
On your own or for a team
Reality is what’s left of dreams

I’m just trying to make my own way
Living life day after day
Keeping negativity at bay
Finding it hard to find the right words to say

I try and be myself
Not try to be someone else
Throwing pennies down the well
Wishing I don’t end up in hell

I do the best I can
To be a good man
But even I have days
I find it hard to stick to plan

It’s who I am, it’s in my nature
Not to worry, it’s nothing major
Nothing that could lead to danger
Just the departure from our lord and savior

I’ve got my own ideas
On how it looks or it appears
No need to shed your tears
For me, it’s the same year after year

I’m sure things will work out
I don’t have the slightest doubt
Not certain what I’m going on about
It’s just what I do when you’re not around

There are days I pray for rain
A chain reaction for the unexplained
My arms are bound, I feel restrained
My score is low, but at least I’m still in the game

Doing what I can to win
Fighting off what I’m against
Hoping for sweet revenge
And to spend my time with friends

Preconceived Notion’s
Separated to her own detriment
And a yearning for her man
Her thoughts are all consuming
Still she fails to understand
The nature of the forces
For the powers that be
She’ll harbor her resentments
For an eternity
As to why he had to go
Why he had to leave
He simply went to work
But still she aches and grieves
She cannot bear detachment
She can hardly breathe
She’s in love without her lover
With notions preconceived
101 · Sep 2021
Kiss And Tell
Our thoughts were contemporaneous
Visions of themselves
There was no need to look further
No reason in which to delve
To go deeper into meaning
While wishing you farewell
But I’d go to any measure
As to never kiss and tell
101 · Oct 2021
Intent
At times, I just need a cat nap
To help me finish out the rest of my day
I cannot sleep though, when you are around me
That is why I am still awake
You suffocate me with all of your affection
It’s justified, if I give consent
The law is just a contradiction
In proving that there was intent
Like lost wishes down the well
You can no longer kiss and tell
Without repercussions
So severe it hurts
But I would go to any measure
If it was just to have the pleasure
To listen to the grace behind your words
101 · Mar 2024
Good Morning
I rise from where I slept
Morning breakfast’s prepped
Lighthearted conversation
Not too heavy or in-depth
Coffee and a biscuit
Or a scone to set the tone
Maybe, a spot of tea
To put our minds at ease
And discuss the coming day
How to do it, and in what way
101 · Feb 2021
Stealing Kisses
I dove into the ocean
The dry land I wouldn’t miss
It was my every last intention
To steal a mermaids kiss
That’s when I saw the creature
Would I finally get my wish
To defy the laws of nature
And sink down into bliss
101 · Dec 2022
His Revenge
Dim lit lights on an empty street
There aren’t shadows in the rain
A maniac is on the loose
He’s no longer being detained
He’s on his way home
To seek his revenge
In a homicidal fit of rage
So be sure to lock the doors
As not to put fuel on to the flames
100 · Mar 2021
The Artist
Artists capture moments
Interpret every line
Every shape and color
To form their own design
Whether it be putty, paint, or pencil drawn
Or a photo taken
Just before the dawn
Art is introspective
Interpretive and expressed
But a multifaceted point of view
Is what I like the best
100 · Nov 2021
The Bakery
We’re real close to the bakery
They’re practically our neighbor
I go there almost every day
They’re moments that I savor
I have some coffee and some toast
I like their coffee more than most
They’re always pleasant
Kind, and sweet
And they always keep an empty seat
100 · Dec 2022
The Noisemaker
I am the noisemaker
The loud, obnoxious sound
That heightens the awareness
Of those that stand around
Putting off pretenders
The defenders behind masks
That reside and hide in solitude
From questions no one asks
100 · Sep 2021
The Strudel
There’s a noodle in my strudel
A pastry light and brown
We don’t know how it got there
But was lucky it was found
To bite into my strudel
A surprise, you could tell
Could cause me to get sickly
But eventually get well
100 · Jul 2022
Bark Facade
Under the cover of the tall elm trees
A hallow path is set
To walk through and be guided
Without certain harm or threat
The path is dark and dingy
With echoes haunting sound
Bouncing off the bark facade
Of every tree around

The Astronaut
The astronaut had landed
First foot to touch the ground
He planted his flag
He’d constantly brag
And he’d walk around town pretty proud
But that was back then
And today is today
And no further progress
Has ever been made
It’s such a shame
But he’s not to blame
He did all that he could, if not more
100 · Dec 2020
Orange Glow
Enamored with the orange glow
In ones perceptive line of view
Eyes meet the horizon
As eyes will sometimes do
Standing at the rock face; bluff
Cool breeze, nearing dusk
Bundled in emotions arms
Cannot do the moment just

Rehabilitated?
Release is near approaching
Counting down the days
To be free and be redeemed
For the weak in which he prayed
He’s no longer stuck in his old ways
His mind is clear of sin
At least he’d have you think
As he says so with a grin 😈

Hurts To Feel
There were dark days in my past
When I walked amongst the shadows
Waning in a battle field
Dodging flying arrows
Aimed straight at my heart
But deflected off my shield
Then ripped and torn apart
Until it no longer hurt to feel
100 · Oct 2022
The Jerk
He’s unhappy with his choices
He’s ashamed of his intent
Having grand illusions
With the voice inside his head
Only to reach failure
Time and time again
Of all the things that happened past
On him, you can’t depend
He’s self centered and he’s lazy
Lethargic, and aloof
It’s not what you want to hear
But at least he tells the truth
Except when he does not
He’s a liar and a thief
He’ll tell you what you want to hear
Without missing a beat
He’s not altogether crazy
Some of his intentions are for good
At least that’s what he tells myself
Like no one ever could

The Good Life
No ordinary life I know
Waiting for it to unfold
The life thereafter, seldom told
A youth slowly learning how to grow old

Since birth, yearning to have and hold
Each life worth much more than gold
Turned to dust, developed mold
Life fully understood, exposed

The plot is twisting my inner soul
Beware, a vision to behold
Cashed in my ticket, brave and bold
To live the good life, I’m not yet sold

Morning Coffee ☕️
My ‪first kiss is with my coffee ‬
‪To wake and start the day‬
‪It’s strong pungent aroma ‬
‪Is by far the only way‬
‪To be approached at morning ‬
‪Before I’ve had my sip‬
‪Is to gamble, and put your life at risk‬
‪Before my coffee hits my lips‬
It’s brewed with love
The grinds are pure
From overseas
It came ashore
To be put in my cup
So that I may drink it up

Early Mornings Light
I wake up to the sun rising
At early mornings light
To the sounds of nature
A new day in my sight
I contemplate the day’s events
Playing it over in my mind
The ins, and outs, and obstacles
Of the daily grind
I break my fast with berries
Gathered from the vine
Then I feed the horses, the chickens, and the swine
Last, I wake the children
Sleeping in their beds
Prepare them for another day
And their journey up ahead

Seduction
Let me gratify your needs
Let me spin your wheels
Let me ****** you for an eternity
So you know just how it feels
Let me caress your neck
Let me whisper in your ear
Let me sing my song in harmony
Well enough to hear
Let me kiss your lips
Let me feel your hair
Let me grip you firm and squeeze you
Showing you I care
Let us walk the meadows
Let us stroll the beaches sand
Let us gaze into each other’s eyes
Exactly where we stand
99 · Dec 2021
Birthday Wish
A birthday wish
A birthday list
A birthday gift
A birthday kiss
Such little time to reminisce
Of the glory days of old
The warmth in winters cold
The pictures taken with family
Now sit in frames of gold
Stories by the fireplace
And the ones that go untold
98 · Jan 2021
Knights of Camelot
We drank from the golden goblet
We slayed the dragon in his lair
We traveled far for many days
To save a damsel in despair
We are the Knights Of Camelot
We’re proud to make this claim
We’ll fight to the death if it so be
To protect the kingdoms name

All Dreamt Up
Morning dew
Thoughts of you
While ambling through the park
A foggy mist
A dreamt up kiss
A hookup after dark
Under dim lit skies
Is where courage lies
Hoping there’s a spark
To ignite on cue
As our desires grew
And for new adventures to embark
98 · Dec 2022
Basic Knowledge
I know I know too little
A minuscule amount
In order to commingle
Without having a doubt
Just some basic knowledge
So I can fit in
And communicate with others
Behind a crooked grin
Showing I have interest
In the subject that’s at hand
Spoken very slowly
So that I can understand
98 · Aug 2022
Bunches Of Buttons
Bunches of buttons
Some old and some new
Worn in a fashion
That best describes you
Whether yellow, or orange, silver, or blue
Some with four holes
Most have just two
Designer buttons
To pick through and choose
Then sew them on tight
Because they’re easy to lose

Hidden Gems
Across the sea
On sand dune shores
Are places you don’t see on tours
Golden sunsets
Where beauty stems
Along the landscape
Hidden gems
Waterfalls
Creeks and trees
The kind you only see in dreams
Perfect lighting
Casual scene
Can’t be replicated
By machine
98 · Dec 2022
The Bond
The inner glow of oval eternity
Saturated in love
A child’s first communion
Connecting with the above
Expressing every phenomenon within
Telepathically relayed
And just before the moments gone
Can a bond be made
97 · Aug 2020
Baby Blue Hue
Gently breathing
Sparkling air in ghostly specter
Cool night upon us
Crystal symphonic chimes
Dangling like a hunters spear
Dangerous; stiff
Unpredictable
Their beauty enticing
To the touch
Hints of baby blue hues
With red droplets of pain
Due to curiosity
And poor judgement
97 · Nov 2022
Carried On
I let it win
It took control
I held it without letting go
It held me back
The fear surpassed
The closing act
To events of past
I gathered strength
I forged ahead
Continued on with life instead
I carried on
With scars as proof
Now just faded events
Of a forgotten youth
97 · Feb 2021
My Moon And Stars
Sometimes my love for you is not always what it seems
But I’ll love you for eternity awake or in my dreams
You’re my moon and stars
My sparkle and my gleam
My lovely lady lover
That will always reign supreme

Hanging Out With Royalty
Walking down the corridor
Of a castle by the shore
To eventually meet the king and queen
She turns around and there he is
His majesty of the invalids
Come to greet her
And give her the grand tour
Then ushers her through the chamber door
Showing her things she’d never seen before
Like candelabras made of gold
Deep rich colors
Lush and bold
Incredible views
Of the vast and scenic land
That goes on forever
And just seems to expand
As far as the eye can see
Until the land stops and meets the sea
She thanked them for their hospitality
Then left with an apology
Said she had some place she had to be
And that she hoped one day to meet the queen
