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."

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.

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 .

All things pass,
the good,
the bad.
All things pass,
even the mood
you've had.

I think you should,
just keep on moving.
The good you did,
needs no proving.

Just keep on walking, loving, crying.
Keep on talking, struggling, vying.

'Cause above all, we're all dying..

It'd be a shame, to waste your life,
even if all you've known 'till now was strife...

awkward and easily misunderstood,
he only eats fried food.
hates exercise with a vengeance,
"you're gonna die before me", i always tell him.

he weaves something out of nothing,
in him i found what i was lacking.
pushing through stress, pain and fear,
with pvc, glue, pen and paper.

while the world dreams he's awake,
structures, rhythms, games he creates.
even when he sleeps his eyes are half-open,
his heart in the stars and his mind full of wonder.

to the you who constantly creates,
even when darkness inhibits;
i'm proud of what you've done and made.
you with your weird blue chinese jacket,
unkempt hair and dark eye bags;
constantly tinkering,
shining from within.
