Look onward out towards the crashing waves of the sea.
It's there I dare to compare the rock holding form upon the crystal reef.
Compare to whom for there is no capable being upon this Earth holds claim to equal such
I know only one strong enough to withstand those  violently crashing waves , my hero , my daddy, his back totes the weight of the world every day , this rock standing firm in the heart of the crystal reef, holds little force to compare
Journey with me for your eyes won't believe
Young but recalling the blizzard one winter my hero, my daddy that returned from the mountain
Eyes of sky blue shining through crystals of icicle hanging from his lashes, his face purple from the wicked freeze of sleet.
I peered with pain while my mother laid warmth over my hero's frozen face, it was the rock in the reef that cold winter's day far across the fierce mountain snow he tracked to provide a meal a for his family
A wife and four girls , a back that had been broken not one but three times , I couldn't hold the tears in my eyes as my bus passed him walking as it drove me to school  there was no money for a vehicle, my hero, my daddy, five miles to and five miles home, every  single day for over six months and never missed a day , walked with his *******  back to provide for us
His hands were covered with hard labor of his life as the mines collapsed sparing his life as it ripped his finger away
His job led him underground just miles from hell for to long
Turning his lungs to it's likeness of the coal
Three days went by what seemed forever as the rubble they lifted from that mine was like holding a gun to the head of the men trapped in below
For the chance of that bullet one wrong move would send the mine and it's beings far beneath the earth to never be found.
We glared at the pile of rubble they said time was running out
Wait what does that mean as the families begin to weep
When all of the sudden the minor let out the words that sounded angelic to my ears, Men I see a light shining in the hole and it's coming towards me.
I could see as what looked in the form of a man but was covered with black from the coal the light from his hard hat turning side and up and down as he had one man on his shoulder he lifted him out and disappeared to retrieve the other men still down in that deep dark hole. One by one my hero my daddy brought them to their safety , this my friend is the rock from the reef that can withstand the crashing waves,  the man that tracked through a freezing blizzard to make sure his family ate, and the man that returned the husband's home safe to their family's from the depths of hell that day Always and forever this man will be , My Hero , My Daddy!

If I could have one wish I would wish to spend just one more day with my daddy. He was my rock

You were my mother and I have something very important to say.
I love you and I lost an important person when you passed away.
You had an aneurysm which was what caused your untimely death.
I was in the hospital room with you when you took your final breath.

I was devastated when the doctor told us you were going to die.
Life would never be the same again after I had to say goodbye.
On the day of your death, I cried and I felt mighty low.
But I'm feeling better now than I did half a decade ago.

Even though time has healed my wounds, I still miss you.
Dying is terrible but sadly, it's what we all eventually must do.
It makes me happy to know how much we loved each other.
Rest in Peace Mom, you were always one hell of a mother.
Dedicated to Agnes Johnson who died five years ago today on March 6, 2013.
Worst Nightmare Mar 2018
Success follows your step
Fragrance flourish when you breathe
Flowers bloom when you smile
I feel the luckiest when you hold me tight
Oh, darling
There will be no darkness
No lonely nights
In my life
As long as
I have you by my side.

You starred in a British sitcom called Father Ted.
It is extremely sad because now you are dead.
You were successful and things were going great.
But then a tragedy occurred when you died in 1998.
You were taken far too soon, you were only forty-five.
The world would be a better place if you had survived.
You excelled at acting and you were a teacher too.
You were an awesome Irishman and people loved you.
DEDICATED TO DERMOT MORGAN WHO DIED TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ON FEBRUARY 28, 1998.
Worst Nightmare Feb 2018
I was a proud young man
With smiles blooming on my cheeks
Dream-dancing in my eyes
Mind- filled with the ideas of being seen

After I met you,
I lost myself
Dreams became reality
Happiness became synonymous for my eyes
Trust me,
After I met you, I grew unidentifiable

For now,
I am you
And
You're  me
I am nobody
And you're none!!

Beyond the horizon of pride
And an urge to be seen and recognized
You and I have blended together
Invisible to the world.

For now,
You and I have transformed into "WE"
And living the heaven within "US."
Randy Johnson Feb 2018
It was a sad day in 1993 when you went to be with your maker.
You starred with William Hartnell and years later, you starred with Tom Baker.
You starred in seventeen episodes of Doctor Who.
The show became a success partly because of you.
Doctor Who was a fascinating show that was scary.
Millions of people were devastated when you died on the 18th of February.
Dedicated to Jacqueline Hill (1929-1993) who died 25 years ago today on February 18, 1993.

I'm just as simple as I can see myself being,
People complicating my intuition,
Disregarding my suggestions,
Like I ain't nothing to consider,
But I know they looking back now,
Making sure I don't move up to the front row,
I ain't even worried though,
Got a focused plan I been working on,
Oh don't tell me, don't tell me,
Don't tell me! You didn't know,
I'm the one changing on the low,
Of course there coming after me,
I'm the one aiming for a goal,
They cant even recognize there own,
Gotta come around and try taking,
What I've planted to grow,
I just keep on the move to make it home,
Keep going on, keep moving strong,
Ain't worried about nothing at all.

Each step I've taken to this day,
Its all been mutually plan my way,
Never let the route get distorted,
Got that 20 20 vision,
Good luck giving that a go,
Better off visiting your ophthalmologist,
Cause I'll just tell you adiós,
Heads up to the ones building there own,
Scratch the rest off the list,
Right out my soul,
Ain't never done anyone wrong,
Probably why your ahead and I'm too slow,
Probably while you get left,
And I still bring it home.

Always been me to keep everything real,
Always be straight with it and unique,
Watch me do it better any day of the week,
Love putting actions into what I'm all about.
Escape me now run for your life,
While I'm around I'll stomp you on the ground.
People talking about what they got,
Others talking about what they bought,
Just as a warning,
I don't care about any of that.
Ambition running thru my veins,
You wish you could be this good,
My heart is soft but my mind is not,
If your thinking you can walk over it,
Better turn around or I'll break you on the spot,
Now I'm sounding cold hearted,
But I told you my heart is much more.

Ain't got the time this I know,
Looking forward to catch the sun,
Staying away from all these ghosts,
That are trying to creep me off this track,
I don't even see them anymore.
All I see is me,
A family man I plan on being,
Along with the success of the business,
That I've been putting on each day of the week,
You won't ever stop me,
Momma raised me to not give up,
Drain me of my blood,
I'll find a way to keep moving on,
Drain me of my thoughts,
I'll give you a piece of my mind,
Drain me of my love,
I'll always love more.
Finally figured it all out,
Never needed y'all
Just needed to understand who I am,
That's most important than all.
Ronald J Chapman Feb 2018
My princess, you ask me, "What do I think of you?”

Princess, you are beautiful my love. 

You are stronger than any woman I have ever known.
There is no one else in this universe or an infinite number of worlds, 

that can compare to you, my sweetheart.

I write love letters to you every day telling you so.

I want to find enough courage to step on board wings of silver,

and fly home to you my dream, 

to hold you in my arms in Seoul, reciting love poetry to you is my last wish.

Looking into your eyes,
seeing Heaven,
two Angels dancing in reflections,

A glimpse of a new Seoul; a bright future ahead,
seeing us embracing love
in our world,

Love waiting to be born,
to kiss our Souls,
to hold love close to our hearts; never letting go.

I love you with all my heart, princess.
I wish fate grants us the miracle,
of you holding me in your arms in this life,
or as a mother holding her newborn child in the next.

I will love you forever,
in this world and the next,
my dear Princess Love.

Writing Rhymes

Writing until I’ve got a headache in my eyes,
do you have any idea what it takes to write this many rhymes,
& speaking of writing I’m trying to write so many rhymes in my lines,
because they say it sounds a bit cliche so tell me am I doing alright,

I mean I habitually rap like it’s a ritual act,
it seems I’m a Minimalist with an excess of stacks,
and an excess of facts that’s sometimes off subject but rarely off track,
the Underdog that always seems to over react,

writing line after line after line after line,
switching my position with upward momentum,
so much that I don’t even know where I’m at anymore,
all I know is when I’m gone the world will still have these poems he’s sending,

he as in me and hey I do not mean,
to talk in the 3rd person I know that it’s weird,
but I do a lot of things that I do not mean,
like rhyme without trying like I’m doing right here,

which I guess makes sense in a sense,
since I often do things I don’t usually do,
see there’s two things I seem to be really good at breaking,
and that’s my own heart and my own rules,

so I’m working on only having one rule in my life,
and that’s to not have any rules,
because society and those living in it,
already try to over oppress us with their own crazy rules,

but what are rules if they’re written by fools,
I’d get into it but I’ll just choose not to,
because that’s another subject and I don’t want to get off track,
or subject us to something that’s not relative to the subject we’ve construed,

and since we’re on the subject of the subject that we’ve construed,
would you please remind me what we were talking about if you be so kind as to,
oh wait please delay what you we’re about to say because I remember now it’s we’re DFW,
and that stands for Down For Whatever ready for any endeavor and the chaos that could ensue,

which is this case seems to be rather mellow because it’s just words typed on a computer,
because I have an addiction to writing these missions in form of poetry and prose,
and I’d like to get better and start rhyming less with my letters,
but it seems old habits die hard & that my friend is nothing new I suppose,

and that’s why I’m writing until I’ve got a headache in my eyes,
do you have any idea what it takes to write this many rhymes,
& speaking of writing I’m trying to write so many rhymes in my lines,
because they say it sounds a bit cliche so tell me am I doing alright…

Never fear losing a friendship due to the ******* that is known as truth.
I have been alone I have been with many and I have been with you.

We can dance in avoidance of pain masking are emotions only for so long.

I see it in your eyes and if you were a book my dear I would linger upon every page .

I could tell you its simply a friendship but I never ******* anyone let alone myself .

I know what it is and sweetheart so do you we didn't seek it cause the best kind of poison is made of the sweetest desire .

There's not a night the thought I do not entertain .
As we know separately the direction is best shared together as one .

I have no words besides what your reading now .
And these will be the blood of my soul I cast of dark magic in efforts of reaching out to you .

The key is yours and we know our truths so believe what you must to get you through another empty night .

We know what this is and I simply wait to know what's under the cover so stop the game and simply allow me to read every line that lay between .
