Your voice is like music
You’re ethereal; a gift
You move the earth
More than a tectonic shift
You’re a goddess like creature
Your beauties refined
I’ll whisper I love you
A billion more times
Just to help you remember
I’m consumed, I’m obsessed
From the tip of your head
To your feet under dress
I worship your shadow
Your voice fills the room
I perk up my ears
And I’m saved from my gloom
My royal highness
My immaculate queen
My last thought when I lay down
As to meet you in my dreams

It’s not static, but dynamic
The identity of self
The landscape of my inscape
My inherited wealth
A treasure trove of riches
The hand that I’ve been dealt
All worthless and meaningless
Without the attention made to health

You’re my inspiration
You’re my lock and key
You’re my lover and my teacher
You are my everything

My muse for my creation
You have my utmost admiration
For the gift that keeps on giving
For the entire presentation

I stood for the duration
At the railway station
Traveling around the world
In complete anticipation

Righting all my wrongs
For fear of my damnation
6 feet on the ground
What in the tarnation?!

I was given my probation
I’m parched; need rehydration
I just need a little patience
With my vocal *******

And when this thing is over
I’m taking a vacation
Just imagine my elation
From letting go of my frustration

I’ve written in my journal
I wrote down blatant lies
It was a sadistic sort of vengeance
For someone I despise
I am not a jealous person
In my or in Gods eyes
But I am not to be trifled with
As I laugh at all your cries

Even on a cloudy day
In drenched clothes caught out in the rain
My entire life in disarray
But you’re still perfect in every way.
Maybe we’re not on the same page
In your eyes, I see the rage
That festers in your heart and brain
Let us overcome the war we wage

Tears are wet, our bodies dry
How did our lives get so intertwined
Aging better than expensive wine
Let’s reminisce of a forgotten time

Some might say I’m walking blind
Into the darkness of the night
You’re the sunshine in my eyes
And the stars above perfectly aligned
The scent of you is so divine
It reminds me that you’re Gods design
There’s certainly no good reason why
Our two hearts should not combine  
No mountains top that we can’t climb
Hold my hand and let’s take flight
Just don’t make me weak with Kryptonite.

My Minds Scenario

I write because the moments right
A write to heal my soul
To vent all of my frustration
And to clear out some room to grow

I’m passionate about the way I feel
When I relinquish my control
It lets me hold on to something real
And embrace my pain and sorrow

If I hold on to it for too long
I start to feel real low
I need some way to release it
And to let my feelings show

Some people look to self medicate
Others hit skid row
But I’m not going down that path
In my minds scenario

So I write down everything I think
To help learn what I don’t already know
Maybe there’s something that clicks
That I learned so long ago

I made a mistake
I trusted a snake
That slithered and hissed
Was conniving and fake
He reared and he bit
Uncoiled and spit
His venomous poison
Right where I sit
By what has transpired
The situation is dire
I need the anti-venom quite quickly
Before I expire

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

We cannot escape reality
A long way from where my eyes can see
Telescopic vision quest
Questioning my own mortality

Into a time before I’m free
I’m bound to feel some relief
Fade to dust, no lessons fee
At the university

The distance between you and me
One strike, two strikes, and then three
Beyond the light
The ocean; deep
Waters warm, sea of green

The quietness and when to grieve
A shock to all, total disbelief
No more pain;
Feel relieved

A pleasure captured
Stolen by a group of thieves
Don’t delay or question my punctuality
Just enjoy the air we breathe

Sunny weather
Shaded trees
Good conditions
A brisk cool breeze

Headed towards sanctuary
Where I lay, forever free
Spun by spiders
Oh the web we weave

Meant only to deceive
Hidden treasures up my sleeve
Slight of hand
Is what I’m hoping to achieve

And just before I disappear
Nothing more then a memory
Laugh and smile
And some time in which to bereave

A fallen soldier
A quest indeed
To find the answers
That have long escaped me

I run to my nook
My crevice, my cave
Hide in the safety of my cozy
enclave
Surrounded by a babbling brook
I’m shaken, unsettled, I’m ruffled, I’m shook
Longing for minutes, for hours, for days
Fleeting moments of past
When I was courageous and brave

Her eyes pierced right through my body
I was shaken to the bone
Like emerald jewels they sparkled
That it felt like I was home
Her skin was soft like pillows
Her hair so bright it glowed
As did the aura that surrounded her
My fingers free to roam
Her body dangled with grace and beauty
That I had to grab on hold
Like a sweet and supple flower
It sent me to a place unknown
There she bloomed before my eyes
Like a sentimental poem
And with a whisper she exposed herself
And let out a gentle moan
I was mesmerized by her curvature
That I thought I would explode
And a smile ran across my face
When it was clear she was my own

I hide beneath the trees, like it’s my own forbidden forest
I nestle under shade to cool my soul
I use rocks to hide my presence
In a mist like evanescence
Because the sun that’s beating down will take its toll
I hide away from others
I seclude to gain my peace
I find solace in the forest
Among the rocks and leaves
I justify my silence as I peer out from the hedge
I see a waterfall and I bathe at waters edge
I focus on my yin and yang
And I wallow with my spirit
And sometimes I scream out loud as hell, so everyone can hear it

I was denied my contentment
My phosphorescent jewel
My iridescent luminescent
Images of you
A fireworks explosion
Seething ***** of light
****** into the atmosphere
To electrify the night
Bolstering up the front lines
For graphic acts of might
And lit up like an active war
Despite the will to fight

I carry that absence
Wherever I go
Invisible feelings
I find hard to show
Your presence is felt
My feelings, they grow
You’re my yin and my yang
My rhythm and flow
I reminisce on the past
When we were both close
When we were young and we were free
But things change I suppose
Now we are older and have moved on with our lives
Goals set in stone we aim and we strive
But I’ll never forget
When the two of us met
And you made me feel so alive

You’re my suffocation of delight
My muse, my guiding light
Ingesting every ounce of joy
My magic human sprite
I dance beside your aura
My fire, you ignite
You’re the center of my universe
My rock, my strength, my might

If your beauty is my salvation
Then I’ve died in peace
On the shores of the vast ocean
To the highest mountains peak
No substandard erosion
Could crumble my inner thoughts
For you are my rock, my everything
My ever beating heart

I found my salvation in paradise
Sitting in sand under trees
Overlooking the ocean at sunset
My heart washed away by the seas
I’ll never give up or surrender
And I listen for soft melodies
To lift up my spirit from nothing
And to forget about old tragedies
My actions came under some scrutiny
So I got up and started to leave
It was then I remembered my mantra
Which helped put my mind back at ease
Never give up or surrender
I’m sure everyone would agree
That this is indeed a good mantra
And this is the right way to be

I relish the opportunity
I value every chance
You’ve given me throughout the years
To help me to advance
You’ve been my guide
My saving grace
You’re a mainstay by my side
You’re the person that I look up to most
The apple of my eye

My shadow saw its silhouette
It scared him straight to life
He now goes by a different name  
And is married, with a wife
On rainy days, I miss him
Or when darkness falls
Unless there is a light left on
Then, he’s on every wall

You became my poetry
My confidant, my bliss
My sweetest little darling
Irresistible to kiss
You’re an angel without wings
That I cannot resist
Fallen down into my arms
I’m elated you exist
A diamond in the rough
My other half, my swan
I’ll love you till eternity
Or till one of us is gone

I’ll turn you into poetry
Paint your portrait with no clothes
Leave the beauty that’s in front of me
Completely bare; exposed
I’ll sketch your upper torso
Make a sculptured figurine
Because you are my tomorrow
My princess and my queen

My words are my shield
As the pen that I wield
Protects me and frees me of pain
All at once they’re combined
From my heart and my mind
And they keep me from going insane
My words are my force
That unbolts the course
That restrains and prevents how I thrive
They’re weapons unleashed
From my internal beast
That remind me that I’m still alive
And when I am through
And I’ve spoken my truth
You’ll know that what I say is real
My word is my bond
From here to beyond
That cuts through hot butter like steel

Going through it
Getting through it
Light that I can see

A whistle, a missile
Coming at full speed
I take a step onto the tracks
Not sure of where it leads
Must make a decision fast
What’s it going to be?

I faced the train, In the pouring rain
I’ve conceded all my rights
To play the game
Or live in shame
Will I live or die?

I scream out loud
To a silent crowd
Leave them wondering why
How can I explain myself
To an evanescent try

Don’t give up, or give in
The talent that’s inside
It’s not too dark
It’s not too bright
Awoken by the mornings light

I fought to be the champion
The will to live in spite
With every breath that I take
Leaves me naked and benign
.

It wasn’t a catastrophe
A little crisis if you will
I managed to stay dry as best I could
And I ate the bitter pill
There were concessions made
Big plans were delayed
Until the bad weather stops
I’ll stay naked in the rain

You looked away
As I stared into your soul
Peeling back the layers
As far as they can go
Searching for your inner you
The you that you control
Waiting for the answer
That only you could know
Like a flailing human torso
Swaying to and fro
A natural born disaster
With a shiny bow

Flower petals blooming towards sun drenched skies
A fawn eating grass on the knoll

Birds singing their sweet melodies  
Chirping at your soul

Trees of green and yellow leaves
Flourishing, and bearing fruits

Squirrels chasing after one another
Having their disputes

Lush tall grass scour the plains
In the distance, an owl hoo’s

Rocks on streams
Along its edge
As the wolves await the moon

A foxes curiosity
A ****** builds a dam

The butterflies dancing in the wind
The land devoid of man

All of nature moves in sync
Like an orchestrated band

A secluded paradise
Untouched by human hands

Nature in slow motion
A true spectacle to see
Where there’s pollinated flowers
And birds flapping their wings
With stirring gusts of wind
Through the stationary trees
And sweet love in the air
Not unlike the birds and bees

The nature of the battle
Was fought with pure resolve
Sheer determination
Could it be that we’ve evolved?
Into the makers of a mess
Poor people in distress
No gratitude, just attitude
Could it be that we’ve digressed?

Winter springs and mountain views
The horizon, red and orange hues
Search the landscape, vast and bare
Clear your mind, and breathe the air
Visualize a rustic scene
Red mountain tops, and fields of green
Shimmering water, reflects the sky
Beauty to the naked eye

In a portrait of a nature scene
Lies prickly thorns and dark green leaves
Bushes of the holly evergreen
The lush green foliage in between
Where the flowers are full in bloom
That recluse under the starlit moon
But rise again mid afternoon
Ascending up, tried and true

He stayed up in bed
He was smart and well read
He had very thick glasses
That he wore on his head
He tried to capture his dreams
To arrange and rearrange
Every thought he could think of
No matter how weird or strange
He managed to do it
It all now made sense
To take aim at the bleachers
And swing for the fence
He wasn’t an athlete
But he surely might try
To hit a home run, run the bases, and slide
His anticipation was growing
And the message was clear
He could take on the challenge
Or cower in fear
He instead chose the former
In turn, accepting his fate
He’d not only be good
But undoubtedly great!

“Never coming home again”
She knew it in her head
The words that she remembered
The things that she heard said
A promise that was broken
When he was pronounced dead
“Never coming home again”
To tuck her into bed
Just some old fond memories
He lived for and help defend

They had a bond
Both wolf and girl
They gazed into each other’s eyes
They were each other‘s world
They had a connection that could be seen
They shared each other‘s hopes and dreams
With words unspoken they could express
Compassion with the girls finesse
The wolf a gray and white fur coat
The girl brunette, with a bright red tote
They a pair, as the townsmen stared
Walking side by side they so dared
Without a thought, without a care
No friendship could quite compare
On one Sunday afternoon
The wolf chased down a large raccoon
He grabbed him by his head and ears
And the poor girl broke out into tears
From that day it became clear
The girl must sever ties with what she held most dear.

Down the mountains snowy *****
Sunshine between the trees
There’s a stillness in the morning air
That’s absent of a breeze
The trees stand up
Proud and tall
All for one
And one for all
They align themselves for natures call
And reach new heights
Before they fall

I aspire to new heights
From the level I’ve been at
Moving on to better things
To showcase my final act
To end my lifelong journey
Gaged by how I should react
Succumbing to, and guiding through
How I socially interact

This is not how our story ends
It’s only just begun
On to new horizons
Past the setting sun
We must continue writing chapters
To the story of our days
Unless we become complacent
Stuck in a foggy haze
Once all of the smoke has cleared
You can adjust your eyes to see
That the future is just up ahead
And the past is history

I’ve written when I’m
angry.
When I was sad or I felt down
Rarely did I pick up a pen
When my life was running sound
When obstacles had been avoided
Or things had gone my way
When you didn’t hear me complaining
About my troubles every day
It’s a rare occurrence I’ve forgotten
It doesn’t happen all the time
When every sentence has an ending
And it fits in perfectly aligned
But today starts a new chapter
I’m happy and it shows
I have something to look forward to
And my confidence now grows
I see big things in my future
Something to start the flame
In a well set new environment
Where my aim is to reach for fame
Not to gloat or be braggadocious
But because my skill sets reached its peak
I’ve attained a whole new level
If maintained, one I can keep
And I can strive for greatness
Not stuck in remorse or self defeat
Because I’ve become a person that I’m proud of
Who I respect and hold in high esteem

The news was in the paper
There in black-and-white
The stories that unfolded
Some written out of spite
Changer of the narrative
The Duke of written word
Facts form very suddenly
When word of mouth is heard

To dethrone and to plunder
Suffocate and smother
Ram the gate
Seal your fate
Like heavy metal thunder

Rise to the occasion
Set a new foundation
That carries on
And overcomes
The falling of a nation

Taken what is given
The visionary mission
Dressed to ****
Come get your fill
And embrace the new tradition

They traveled on the circuit
A band called “Night and Day”
They were wild and eccentric
But man, you should’ve heard them play
They blew the roof off when on stage
The new sensation, latest rage
They played the night
Into the next day
Then they passed out in a field of hay
They woke from sleep and heard a tune
A string guitar and southern blues
They then knew that they had to go
To the next town to put on a show

I’m a night owl, one that rarely hoots
A repeated self destructor
With no signs of resolute
I never followed a dream
Because of battles behind scenes
Raised by single parents
Since the ripe age of two
Only child, without a care or a clue
I grew to like all team sports
And I practiced; got good
But my emotions compounded
And I felt misunderstood
I was labeled disabled
From a very young age
And I used some poor judgment
At many a stage
I was always an odd ball
Never fitting quite in
I’d use humor as armor
To deflect and defend
I’m true to myself
I admit I’m no saint
But it’s been a really long time
Since I’ve heard a complaint
Or committed a crime
Now I’m giving and kind
I have a big heart
My compass wasn’t broken
But I still misread the charts
I use expression through writing and art
This is my pride and my passion
And a good place to start
I’ve procrastinated long enough
I’ve grown hungry over time
I’ve stood in my way long enough
For my glow not to shine
I’ll pick up my paintbrush
On my canvases; new
And I’ll pour out my emotions
So that I can share them with you

They came face to face
As nighttime silhouettes
Fulfilling dreamt up fantasies
Without morning time regrets
In the heat of passion
They saw eye to eye
Then slept away
In the bed they lay
Until their mouths
Were parched and dry
