Setting here thinking/wondering

Thinking of when we were younger
"Youngsters"
You were such a stunner
And I was your boy wonder
Us together all summer
"Free"
Our first kiss under our favorite tree
"Together"
Just a little naïve
"All would be"
Side by side
I just knew someday you would be my bride
Then out of the clear blue sky
There you stood with another guy
"Sighed"
Years went by

Setting here wondering
How are you
Are you happy
Do you ever think of the day you broke my heart
"Tears apart"
Is there a lot of distance between us
The past, would you like to discuss
Like our talks on the school bus
"Both of us"
Have you thought of me more then a thousand times
Hearing the clock chime
I have run out of time

Years of
Thinking/Wondering
Still loving ?

This place

where i still see your face
our love , still exist just a trace
this was our space
that we came to after the rat race
when i walk in i try to keep a straight face
and not break
for loves sake
your absence i am not sure i can shake
there is only so much this man can take
sleepless nights and always awake
i swear i see your shadow
i take a double take
maybe our split was a mistake
is it to late
or was this our fate
how could you leave this place
and hate
not even a last date
wait, ours, this place
it was not even up for a debate
i could not get irate
you called me your soul mate
in this place
now i have lost my mental state
at any rate
apparently it does not matter
the after or
this place
would you like to answer
no
you would rather
see my heart shatter
with no more laughter
i am not much of an actor
i can't believe this place
nor i no longer matter
our place

This place

Right now !

I want to be with you right now
I want us to trust right now
I want to hear you right now
I want you close right now
I don't know how right now
There is so much I want to do with you right now
Right now
I want to sleep with you right now
I want us to be they right now
I want to feel your touch right now
I want you to come over right now
I don't want to be alone right now
Right now
Touch me now
Kiss me now
Make love to me now
I am yours now
Between us now
Come home to me now
Right now
My fantasy is you right now
My dreams are of you right now
My thoughts are only of you right now
You are all I want right now
Right now
Trying not to be a fool right now
Trying to make this real right now
Your driving me wild right now
Trying to get your attention right now
Just trying to exist right now
Right now
My love is real for you
This fool has fallen for you
My heart is full for you
My obsession is for you
Only live for you
Right now
All I do is think of you
I am in love with you
"Right Now"

KINDER

"Hello"
That is all it takes
To cause a smile
Going the extra mile
Every once in awhile
Nice to hear
"A Thank you"
"How are ya"?
Up lifting it's the way we all should be
It starts with you and me
After years of it's me, it's me all about me
It's time to be
"Kinder"
Taking off the blinders
"People" this is a simple reminder
To make a strangers day finer
Something so simple so miner
Just to be a little "Kinder"
No one should ever be treated as an outsider
We need to be the provider
Of all words "Kinder"
Close the gap of this world being wider
It's starts with you and me
To be "Kinder"
Drop the dividers
Our minds we need to reconfigure
After all these years
"Go figure"!!
All it takes is us to be "Kinder"
"Change"
Wait' a minute
This reminder of being "Kinder"
It starts with me
!!

It only takes a hello, a thank you, how are ya , a smile
Remember to be "Kinder"

This Poem (for someone )?

I do not know
Maybe for someone in my future or
my past from long ago
"Who Knows"
This is not a bio
Nor a request of
Just something to say hello
So!! "Hello"
Spark an interest
Something may grow
"A Desire to know"
Of course there is no status guo
"To know" !!
All it as to do is flow
I am not just any Joe blow
Right now I guess a John Doe
Because I am not known
To the people or person I am writing this to
"Although"!!
You never know !!
It's 2 a.m. or so
Watching a T.V. show
Something they call a talk show (I think)
Rather be staring at a painting from Vincent Van Gogh
Laying here naked from head to toe
"Sleepy"
So I guess I got to go
Well any way
"Hello"
To Someone
I may or may not know
!!

our souls

so many this world has stole
that are no longer whole
putting first their own goals
not having any self-control
something I think the Devil has stole
one by one our souls
so many has forgotten his good grace
it's not happened at a slow pace
or in any particular place nor
to just one race
"A Disgrace"
that we have lost God's embrace
something you cannot replace
can you imagine
we allowed our souls
to be stolen by the fire breathing dragon
God's heart now sagging
he is no longer hearing prayer
nothing more to share ?
why would you dare
then we wonder why our souls
our in despair
no longer aware
"Beware"
our souls
!!

DREAMS

Busted by a bunch of schemes
Makes you want to pull your hair and scream
People will go to any extreme
to take advantage of your dreams
Does not matter of what theme
****!! it's just so mean
to shatter someone's dreams
Is there anyone out there with some honesty and
modesty
That want leave you hanging
to dream of other dreams
And not looking for something  to gain
or
redeem off of your dreams
That is truly on your team
and will help you achieve your dreams
That will not hold you down
And look at you like your some kind of clown
Not out to beat you down or
cause your dreams to drown

You ware the crown
and
you need to
protect
the
Dreams
!!
