I imagine you don’t know me well
Pretending to be a friend
Waking closely by my side
Your efforts are lost quickly

These days are where it starts
Needing double what it takes
Searching for truth
Never peeling back the failure

You can’t comprehend this level
Reaching out with one fragile hand
Your heart bleeds this pain
Wanting so bad to be felt

I imagine this is where I leave you
Struggling to see the ghost
Open our eyes
Don’t let him leave

Simple actions of friendship
Where are you?
I see bright lights coming at me
Jumping on this train seems the only way

Out of town
Down the dirt road
Pebbles and muddy steps
This is where I’ll find you

Innocent mind of a toddler
Her bright blue eyes have only wonder
Questions she doesn’t know to ask yet
Reasons to be scared don’t show

Protected by her shadow
Learn to eat
Learn to dress
Learn to smile

Her heart is secure
Within her mind she holds so close
A woman of great strength
Persistent to hide the truths

Faced with the greatest challenge of her life
Smiling through it all
Laughter fills the hospital bed
Fear has no place here

Always surpassing the obstacles
She delivers with force
Proud of who she’s become
Who she has yet to be

Wife
Mother
Daughter
Sister

She breaks all barriers
Continues to succeed with each level
I am mindful of her needs
I am careful with her heart

Protected at every moment
We are one at our core
Even when we scare each other
We can bend but never break

Driving down a dirt road
Hands hanging out the window
No direction set
This road leads everywhere

Leave it all behind
The faults
The achievements
Leave them

Ahead is purity
Questions don’t arise
Fear has no place
Released from the devil

Into the arms of no one
That feeling at the end
They say you can’t achieve
Impossible to breathe that moment

Their faults weight heavy on your goals
Their fears keep you from overcoming yours
Held down by the past
Awaiting release

No matter how fast you run
How hard you push
You can’t escape their fears
You own them now

In the darkness of the sky
Out shines a beauty.
A soul recognized by her strength
and courage.

She amazes me with the challenges she overcomes,
always looking ahead to the next amazing trip.

She left the nest years ago,
yet you can always feel her love around the family.
We can turn to her at anytime
Never worrying about denial.

A true Friend, Daughter and Sister.

Out of her heart pours a caring thought
showing me that love can come from
outside the family with such sincerity
making me trust what love really means.

And the love of friends and family,
a critical part of my future in this world

My mind travels every which way
before hitting a wall.
It's tender and I push as hard as I can
never reaching the point of success.

I want to be at peace with myself.
I want to travel the thoughts of its Beauty.
Understanding the power it has
and yearning for a weakness
so I can push through.

I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Maybe I need to stop thinking of me
and find out what makes her happy.
Maybe then and only then,
will I become a man.

One who gives and does not need to receive
in time will have everything he wants.

Love...

Standing tall and proud,

she waits by the window.

Her eyes see wings,

reaching to touch.



Subtle hints of green

soar through the air.

Moments moving

inside her body.



Lust creating emotion,

pouring out of her mouth,

like a red wine waterfall

never reaching the ground.



This gentle silk

draped across her body.

Glowing from her heart,

awakens my body.



Her desire is blind,

feeling her way

through my impulse,

scratching at the glass.



Gentle kisses awaken her body,

feeling her clutch the sheets as

my lips control her,

And put her to sleep.

Don’t be alarmed,

he sits with you.

Strong minded,

free willed.



Don’t be afraid,

she waits for you.

Happy eyes,

lifted spirit.



I hear you speak,

lovely in my mind.

Gentle forces,

reaching out.



Time is near,

scared to the touch.

Incubus is upon you,

don’t close your eyes.



Feel the touch,

lose your mind.

To the edge,

Release your body.



Lay back,

love what you are.

Force nothing,

embrace the soul.
