Lost in your Eyes
If I stare into your eyes
 I can see past the stars
beyond the Galaxies
all the way past mars
Within the Oceans
 and towards the Horizons
 In a Complete Trace
Your Love is Amazing
If I get Lost in your Eyes
I can find your Soul

People in your LIFE
Everyone that's in
your LIFE are of
two of these things,
either there
for a LIFETIME, or
RELATION WISE
a FLING,
in your
LIFE FOREVER, or
just for a SPELL,
whatever the
LESSON LEARNED,
just remember:
IT IS WELL.
for those that
STICK AROUND,
are LESSONS in
THEMSELVES,
They will be there
for YOU ONLY, and
NOBODY ELSE,
Those that decide
to STRAY AWAY far AWAY,
JUST LET THEM GO, and
BE ON THEIR MERRY WAY,
Don't give them NO ATTENTION,
nor the TIME OF DAY,
the LESSON from this is:
  they never
ATTENDED TO STAY,
Let go of the YO-YOS,
for they seem to REAPPEAR,
THEY BOUNCE
BACK AND FORTH
AND THEN they DISSAPPEAR,
BEWARE OF THE NEEDY, just
(ONLY IF THEY ARE IN NEED),
BE CAREFUL OF
THE GORGERS, for
THEIR FORENAME
IS GREED!!!
I am ONLY SAYING THIS
to KEEP YOU AWARE,
Keep a lookout for these types
I am saying this to show,
I CARE,
THE REAL PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Will stay,
NO DOUBT,
In closing of this writing,
did I leave
ANYTHING OUT????
There are PEOPLE
THAT DO LOVE YOU,
I HOPE THAT I AM RIGHT,
These PEOPLE
are KEEPERS,
THE TYPES TO BE IN YOUR LIFE!!!

Note: My Silly Writing


The Alligator and
the Crocodile,
They haven't seen each other
in quite a while,
When times were easy, and
Life was greater,
the last the croc said:
See you later Alligator,
and the Last Gator replied
with glee in his eyes,
after a while crocodile,
as they both realized,
It's been a while and
It's been quite a minute,
Since The last time they spoke, and
when the times
have been Splendid!!
It's time that we part,
It's been a while crocodile,
I'll see you later alligator, and
Let's not make it a whole!!!

Think Happy Thoughts
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS 🤔,
don't let ANNOYANCE
BRING YOU DOWN⬇️.
Instead of a FROWN🙁,
you should try to
wear a SMILE 😃.
A HAPPY THOUGHT
is a POSITIVE VIBE,
Your feeling so JOYFUL,
that you just can't HIDE.
When you are FEELING SO GOOD,
and HAPPY INSIDE.
BITTERNESS is out,
and SWEETNESS in.
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
that comes from within,
If you keep this up,
you will DEFINITELY WIN.
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
you feel like you could FLY,
like PETER PAN, WENDY and
the LOST BOYS, so
high up in the SKY.
You won't be able to FLY, but
you will Feel LIGHTER,
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
and you feel like going HIGHER,
Hold on to these FEELINGS and
your DAYS will be BRIGHTER!!!

Beautiful Nightmare
Terrible Dreams,
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.

A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.

So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.

A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.

What's before you,
it seems so real,
It is so miraculous
You can't help how you Feel.

A Dream that is Delighting, and
Very Enticing,
The Thought of it Inviting,
and yet very Frightening.

It brings you to the saying that:
Dreams do come True,
Then again it's a Dream,
So just might be you.

A Beautiful Nightmare
to True Reality, or
a nightmare unhinged,
You just cannot see.

A Dream within a Dream,
You are not really there,
as you are aroused and
awakened from
A Beautiful Nightmare!!!!

Stained Glass Windows
The Stained Glass windows
in the vestibule,
in the Back of the church,
of the last row pews.
Through the Entrance,
is how I come to view,
As we enter the Lord's House
Where Praises are due.
These Beautiful windows are
Out of sight,
a Beautiful view,
Bringing to us Delight,
A beautiful church,
a marvelous sight,
A feeling of Happiness, and
It feels so right,
When you are so full of Joy,
Through these stained Glass windows
Where The Sun Shines Bright!!!!

Weeping Skies
Please pray for Los Angeles!!!


The skies are so gray,
with such a dark gloom,
I can smell the rain,
I hope it comes very soon.

The air is so windy,
The Clouds are set,
Hoping Raindrops fall,
Thus far, nothing yet.

The gray Skies are ready,
Perception predicts Rain,
Of All of the burning Forrest,
I pray this in Jesus Name.

Los Angeles is now Burning,
As an arsonist runs free,
Oh, Please stop these fires,
I beg this and I plea.

As the burning slows down,
It's a sad crying shame,
From losing homes and businesses,
Lies nothing but burned remains.

May the burning start to cease,
As we are wondering why,
Lord, please send us rain,
Form so very, very High,
Form the Heavens above
Of these dark weeping skies!!!!

A Faded Memory
So, within the crowds of people and chaos,
It was your face that I vaguely remember.
I think it was in Winter or around December,
If I Recollect correctly, it was probably November.

You were walking through the Crowds, so tall and so lean,
A crafted work of art, so unreal as it might seem.
It was so noisy, that I was lost in my own thoughts.
The expression on your face, was worried and distraught.

I remember it like it was just yesterday
I was wondering if your are Okay?
you seemed to be troubled by something
you just went on your Merry Way!!

To this Day I remember,
how you made an expression on me.
I just wished I could have known what was wrong
You are nothing but a Faded memory

It takes STEP BY STEP,

It will be MELLOW and

Stop Doubting Yourself
MY FIRST POEM OF 2025,
LET'S GET IT, LET'S GO!!!!!
Your NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS IS TO:

"TAKE HEED TO THESE WORDS, and
SO WILL I!!!"



STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF,
YOU'LL be surprised at
what you COULD DO!!

There's a PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE,
HE DIDN'T BRING YOU THIS FAR
TO LEAVE YOU,
You're going through SOME STRUGGLES
HE WILL DEFINITELY see you THROUGH,
You Also have TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS,
HE'LL know just what to DO

Don't worry about the whereabouts,
who, what, where and when,
You are on the winning team,
You have Jesus Christ within.

Don't be like Doubting Thomas,
You only have to Believe,
Believe that you can do this, and
His blessings you will receive.

JESUS knows your struggles and
  he also knows your fears,
He also knows your downfalls,
Just know that he is Near

When you feel like being doubtful
Just turn that thought on around,
Put in your mind that you got this,
There's no time to bring yourself down

So, my advice is for you to STOP DOUBTING,
IN YOUR HEART, just know,
THAT YOU COULD,
You need TO GET UP, and
PUT IN THE WORK,
BELIEVE THAT IT WILL, AND YOU WOULD!!!

The creator of this "PAIN" is YOU!!
Of All that you have PUT ME THROUGH,
Just MOPING AROUND and FEELING SO BLUE,
Here FIGURING out what I SHOULD INITIALLY DO!!!

IT'S TIME to CUT THESE STRINGS,
From this, we could NO LONGER HANG,
To me, it ain't NOTHING BUT A THING,
Relasing you, ALONG WITH THE PAIN!!

It was "YOU" who CREATED this TRAUMA,
It was "YOU" who had BROUGHT ALL THE DRAMA,
A POSITIVE BEGINNING is NOW MY MANTRA,

Whipsers of Yesterday
Things of Yesterday
are gone like
Whispers in the Wind,
carrying them away,
To never see the Light of Day,
To be Blinded by the Dark of Night,
To never see the Sun Shine Bright,
The Whispers of Yesterday,
Have fluttered away, and gone astray,
The voices that were heard,
The speaking of soft words,
You barely hear them,
Just under a breath,
Upon a Whimper,
is where they rest.
Whispers of Yesterday,
Are all now gone,
Now, Turning soft whipsers
into a sad Love Song!!!

The MORROW of the STORY IS:
PUSH AND DON'T QUIT!!!

YES, THE CHALLENGE

HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!

YOU ARE STRONGER
THAN YOU THINK, and
YOU ARE SO TOUGH!!!

HANG IN THERE and
GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT,

KEEP CLIMBING that MOUNTAIN
UNTIL YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!

YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO
YOUR GOAL,
DON'T STOP!!

We ALL Have STRUGGLES,
we ALL have FEARS,

we ALL have DOWNFALLS,
and SHED MANY TEARS,

but ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT:
JESUS IS NEAR!!

It's Just a Hiccup
It's just a SMALL HICCUP
If it bothers you then
Drink some water or
hold your BREATH,
Fix the ERROR,
after that
Just REST,
Don't let the SITUATION
bring you on DOWN,
Work with the GLITCHES and
then MANEUVER on AROUND.
It just a SMALL MISHAP and
it can be FIXED,
It not a BIG DEAL
So go on and HANDLE IT.
It's just a LITTLE HICCUP,
Don't get your
*******  in a BUNCH,
It'll work out SOMEHOW,
I'm just giving
you a HUNCH,
When things
GO SIDEWAYS,
or EVEN DOWNHILL,
There's just GOTTA
BE A WAY and
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!
When things are OFF and
CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN GET TOUGH,
JUST REMEMBER
there's a way and

Poor wounded Soul
Poor wounded Soul,
trying to survive
Life's Trauma,
from one powerful blow.
All that your soul needs,
is to feel at ease,
careless and free,
just feel the nice breeze,
sit back and relax and
Have no worries.
Let go of it All,
The Pain, suffering,
worrying, and sorrow,
Leave yesterday behind,
push forward to tomorrow.
This agony that you endure
won't Last long,
So try to be strong,
it is only a test,
REMEMBER:
WHO'S ON YOUR SIDE, and
In this JUST REST!!!!!

Them Ole School Daze
I recall my school daze
like yesterday,
Am so glad those
times have gone away
The memories have Faded,
and gone astray,
My life was tough,
and the skies were gray.
I was very good student,
and I did my best,
didn't have many friends,
but I did not fret.
I was a loner sometimes,
but that's okay,
Just recalling old thoughts
from my ole school daze!!!!

DELUSIONAL
ARE YOU DELUSIONAL??? because
YOU REALLY MUST BE,
You are BELIEVING THINGS
that you should not EVEN BELIEVE!!!

It is NOT TRUE, it is NOT EVEN REAL,
It is ALL in your CONSCIENCE,
It is ALL in how you FEEL,
It is ALL just TYPICAL, HYPOTHETICAL,
INFLUENTIAL, UNUSUAL,

BELIEVING your own THOUGHTS, and
The FACT that YOU ARE
DELUSIONAL, but
It's not your FAULT!!

You Can't help what you FEEL,
It is hard to EXPLAIN, and
You STILL TRY TO DEAL,
I HOPE THAT YOU,
RECOVER
and from this
you HEAL

Believing your own SUGGESTIONS
makes you look SO INSANE,
Feeling like your ******,
It just a CRYING SHAME!!

I HOPE that ONE DAY, if nothing else,
YOU WILL find PEACE OF MIND and
SEEK SOME HELP!!!

Water Puddles
Water puddles from a heavy rain
Gray clouds above as they calmly remain,
The air is fresh, the temp is so cool,
No signs of sunshine or skies of blue

The Rain is Pouring from the clouds of gray
Splashing all over, what a Rainy day,
So, wear your Rain gear, coats and rubbers,
Please try to stay dry and avoid water puddles

I write to be free,
flows right out of me;
when Inspired to write;
It comes rapidly.

My mind steady ponders,
A world full of wonders,
encouraged to Inspire, as
I ever so desire.

My pen steady moving, and
minds steady grooving,
it's as easy as walking,
let my pen do the talking.

C-3PO
Hey C-3PO is that really you????
Did you fall from out of space,
I'm trying to get a clue.

So, what are you thinking
What brings you to earth???
How did you get here,
as I closely observe!!!

Oh What's that you say!!!
you guys are at War!!!
Darth Vader, Startroopers,
as in a Star Wars!!

The spaceship was swirling
around and around,
out goes the android,
and on to our grounds.

C-3PO has entered our world,
Pick up your lost Android,
and win the Star Wars.


Sincerely,

EARTH GIRL

Your Android, mistakenly
entered our world

🖍 We are Crayons 🖍
Like a box of crayons,
We come in many shades, and
in many different colors,
Shades and skintones, we
Precede one another.
We have the reds, and
the Oranges galore,
and the rest of the colors,
that we certainly do adore.
We are like crayons,
We start off as perfect, but
When we're worned down,
We are tattered and broken,
We are still useful, although
our essence had faded,
We're used less and less, and
We start to feel degraded,
We are like these crayons,
We are still around, but
Our purpose becomes useless,
as we are dwindling on down!!!

When Loneliness is your spouse,
You two can lounge around in the house,
Be bored, say nothing and just be still,
Don't interact, just kick back and mainly just chill.

There's no talking back, no nagging, no sound
The House is so still that there's no one around
The lonely sets in, its just you alone,
Being in SOLITUDE is what is now shown

No backtalkling, nagging or even arguments,
Just a quiet still calmness
that is heaven sent

There's nothing wrong
with ISOLATION,
To be by yourself and
have RESTORATION,
It allows you the time
to be with one's self
Recooperate yourself
minus everybody else

There's nothing wrong
with having guest, but after
they leave you settle and rest,

So, happy to see them,
but, now it's time for them to leave
You finally unwind, relax
and can breathe

Windy
The air is breezy and
blisteringly cold,
The wind chill is high,
The temperature is so bold.

The trees are swaying in the wind,
It's cold outside and its time to go in,
The winds are cold the day is Chilly,
It's so cold outside just call me Chilly *****.

The Sun is out which is such a thrill, but
The Winds are crisp and
it's bringing us the chills,

In lieu of a cold and windy day,
I'll trade it for Sunshine to warm me today!!
The wind is cold but that's alright,
A nice warm comforter will bring me delight!!!

It is What it Is
Election: 11/5/2024

It is What it Is,
The Election is now Through,
It Didn't Go our way and
It got us feeling All Blue, but
We won't let it Bring us down,
In fact,
this is what we'll do,
SHINE like the DIAMONDS that we are, and
Our DEAR LORD ALREADY KNEW.
So, please Don't feel SO DOWN and OUT,
We Lost the battle, but to us
IT WASN'T GIVEN,
But through CHRIST our SOLID ROCK
WE STAND AND THROUGH
HIM WE'LL KEEP ON LIVING!!!

Sparkling Stars up in the sky,
Watch them Sparkle so very High,
Up above a darkened night,
A showcase of stars dancing in delight.

They Sparkle so High in their rightful place,
The Light and beauty with love and grace,
Just look above wherever you are,
You might just catch a Shooting Star.

Sparkling Stars just watch them shine,
A Light display to me is fine,
Even with these darkened nights,
An Illuminating sky will feel so right!!!

On Pins and Needles
It's like walking on PINS and NEEDLES,
which is very, very HARD to ENDURE,
While going through TRYING TIMES, and HARDSHIPS,
Looking for HOPE but just NOT TOO SURE.


When LIFE is GIVING you LEMONs or
You are just HANGING on by a THREAD,
or looking for a SCAPEGOAT or,
MAYBE IT ALL IN YOUR HEAD.


Whenever there is a PROBLEM,  
an ISSUE or NO RESOLUTION,
JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:
THOUGH IT ALL!!!
There will always be a SOLUTION!!!


When Your NERVES are on the EDGE, and
YOU'RE COMPLETELY LOOSING CONTROL,
Your MIND is GOING SIDEWAYS,
As if you have NO PLACE ELSE TO GO,
When your NERVES are GETTING THE BEST of YOU, and
THOUGHTS are going TO and FRO.


Just TAKE in a FEW DEEP BREATHS L,
A give a STERN GLANCE,
LET GO of your FRUSTRATIONS and
Here comes your BIG CHANCE,


To LET GO OF the NERVES and
the TENSION,
For, this FEELING IT WILL NOT LAST,
IT WILL SUBSIDE and then GO AWAY, and
Your ANXIETY will be in the PAST!!!!

Hey let's go for a stroll,
and Rock n' Roll,
Step one, two, and three,
now, here we go.
Before you judge me,
First, hear me out
You don't know where
I have been, or what
I'm all about.
you need to know that,
I have been through a lot,
I have gone through some stuff,
stomach twisted in knots,
These roads have been rocky,
I have had enough,
I have walked many miles,
Trials have been rough
I have come a long way
I have walked a long while,
One foot after the other,
been walking for miles,
It's been really hectic,
got me singing the blues
I'm trying to endure,
and push right through
What more can I say,
I done all I could do,
OH YEAH,
and by-the-way,
NICE SHOES!!!!

I feel so (Torn) inside,
Especially (When I see U).
I must be honest with myself, 
 I am (Officially Missing You),
I don't know why, I just do. 
I feel like crying out, 
I feel like taking off.
But, (Who Can I Run to)
 when I'm dealing with so
 much Drama. It hurts me to
admit that I'm (Single Again),
but that's OK, (I Don’t Need U)
anyway. Infact, I
(Should've Let you Go)
A Long time Ago.
I Should've (Slowed Down)
 instead of rushing into
a Relationship with you. 
My instincts told me to
turn him loose, and to just 
(Free Yourself) from his grip
because it's not worth it.
He wants to be a 
man but acts (Like a boy.)

Just like a BALANCED DIET,
Let CHEERFULNESS
