My daddy has a job,
And it makes the Angels cry.
It isn't really supposed to,
He doesn't even try.

He always watches over me,
And tries to help me fly,
But he can never hold me,
And that makes the Angels cry.

My daddy always loved me,
He said it everyday.
I know that he still does,
Even though he cannot say.

My daddy watches over me,
Until the day I die,
'Till then he cannot hold me,
And the Angels will still cry.
Written 7-21-13
I Illustrated it on 3-9-14
It was written for both my step father who had raised me from six months old until I was seven. He died in a car accident.
And also a man who was like my father, who died due to a heart attack almost two years ago.
I love you both with all my heart, Rest in Peace.

Us humans,
Will never know,
What the afterlife will unfold.
The greatest mystery,
The earth holds.

Weather it was the smoke or simply my dying mind I saw her before me smiling divine..
Angels are real or maybe it can be explained, but she stood there haunting me from beyond this plain.. Judgment had already taking place.. I knew it in my heart.. I was going to see her again I was going beyond while holding her ghostly hand.. She smiled sunshine in my darkest hour, her eyes made our constellation, I view it in my stargaze as I leave my sins behind without hesitation.. Beyond is what I call it some know it as heaven.. The sun here is white a radiant light filled reverend.. The storms came in so quick I lost sight of her, I screamed for her name I was being pulled away.. The bolts of lightning struck me down.. I awoke in a hospital torn away from my beyond.. The doctors got my heart going again.. I smiled for the moment.. I knew it was just a matter of time.. Before I will get to see her smile divine..
After the life..
afraid of the unknown
afraid of what comes after.
afraid to find out that their is nothing,
only shadows enclosed in dark, empty shells.
shadows that used to breathe,
And laugh,
And sing,
And play.
Shadows that once were you and I,
Now; nothing.
Forever; gone.

Sadness fades like morning dew
Fading with Sunshine
So softly they flew.
Flew through heaven,
Flew through dust
Staining their color like rust.
Dark and grey
They turned to rain.
Only to settle deep in drains.
They sat and they thought.
And they moped quite a lot.
They missed their early few (years)
They where not morning dew.
Not fresh and new.
But tears
Stained by dust and rust.

Then sunshine came to meet them.
Through metal bars so cold.

Then they flew.
Flew through heaven,
Bold and new.
The wet on your tongue.
A breath through a lung.
A baby's first rain.
*They flew without pain.
I'm trying so signify the passing of innocence through childhood, and life, onto death, and after death.

I see a poem, it's clever yes
But I am displeased with the way it ends.
A man wished his life away.

I'm used to stories that go hip-hip-hooray
And this man wished his life away.
Why take tomorrow for today?

It makes no sense, I cannot say
That I would ever advocate such
Incredibly dangerous play.

This life is to be lived only right now
It's the cat's meow
The sound of love.

AHA
I'm attached to this life.
Still it causes me strife.

I have found much bliss
But still I know this
This life is not all that exists.

The endless Universe expands
And I am just a man
Caught inbetween here and...

The awesome land
Where fields of godly poppies bloom
Expanding into lotuses soon

The cows there talk
And the women
Keep me glued to Earth.

How do I reach escape velocity?
How do I become a star?
How do I, I, answer me my guiding Self.

Let go of it all.
Even the desire to go far
Or to go no where at all.

Let go of thought
Let go of feeling
Let go of wishful believing.

Simply experience
Life for the first time
Through unblinded mind.

It is here you will find
Past the reaches of time
An eternity always inside you.

Stay for a while
Meet Jesus and Sarah
You will soon, I hope that doesn't scare'ya.

Beyond the stars, deep within blackness, refracted particles of past times being. Moment for moment, alone with the notion, I'd trade each piece of me in for some portion of wisdom as I **** myself slowly in smoke on the stoop where I sit just after midnight, every night perpetuating dreams. Fantasies where it all ends in static, dramatically falling away from the world with memories intact. Stuck within limbo, clawing for purpose between the endless sleep. Deep within blackness, the faces I sat with for years come streaming in, and mask for mask, in the stars' masquerade, you're in your place trapped in love as the others. I deport data as I rend through the sky, I know that I'll find you, as the dirt parts from the coffin lid and I explode into light.

If I had to lie to save you
Would you let me?

The truth
So long as we love each other
A lie
For anyone who never really cared

I didn't know
That you were in love with someone else
When I was in love with you

I was just jealous for a time
So jealous
That I went numb inside

I let you go
I love you

And
I'm starting to feel better again
I
Am not
Chasing you anymore

Being young
Not knowing what these feelings mean
I could've really messed things up

So glad that I didn't
So sad
That we never really knew each other

If only I could speak when I was around you
Now I can speak
But
I don't feel that spark anymore

Maybe you are dead
Maybe
I can't ever see you again

I'm sorry
I can't write
Too much more
But I will

Please don't cry

left hand over heart...almost crying

I felt something touch my right leg today
A ghost?

If you're listening
That means you're still alive

Reincarnation?
Sounds silly
Maybe it's true
I don't know what happens when we die...

And if it is true
And you forget about me
I won't forget you

Maybe I can help you remember
If I look in your eyes
And call you by
The name
You had

Before you were born

Wow
Didn't work
Must be

Fake

as I'm walking away...I disappear...then you remember

The spirit never changed
Did it?
