I have written many sentences with my heart

I have written many sentences with my mind

Most often it's difficult to tell them all apart

There is me, there is you in every single line

Forever on words
I shall dine

I'm a poet, it's how every day starts

As my eyes first breathe the morning air

My heart and mind through words rise naked and bare

You waltzed into my life without caring whom you might ******* and destroy, or how many.

You rudely and violently attacked a man that did not deserve a fight with you, but then again not many do.

You took from me the only man I ever in 'my life' looked up to for still my many unanswered questions about life.

The one man that was my beacon whom guided me through every storm .....until the rain and howling winds eventually had passed me by.

HATE.

Hate is a very strong word therefore I very seldom use the word.
But cancer, know this, I HATE YOU!
You have devastated my life once already in a way that has put me into a place that there is no coming back from.

Alas, however,
.... I refuse to allow you to destroy whatever life I may have left!

My life that I once knew is certainly in ruins after I saw how you treated and violated one of the most lovable men that has graced this Earth.

It may be dark at times where I reside now and perhaps forever more,  
but I will not allow you to keep my eyes from absorbing the rich sunlight that will grant this flower the nutrients needed to continue to grow.

You brought me to my knees in one fell swoop.
But I will rise once again I hope one day soon.

One day soon I will stand tall like a redwood just so that I can eventually look down upon you.

Look down upon you and feel like I beat you,
not only for me but,
... for my Dad that you murdered in front of my eyes without care.

Of heaven's rain a bird wets its beak.
The deer and the strays lap from the rising creek.
The lion's sacrifice the lambs unweak.

Horses and their shoes on a cobblestone road.
Lily pads a float to hold an old large toad.
Butterflies fly by with an innocence overload.

A dove bringing peace as it soars overhead.
Rabbits and squirrels frolic in their moist grassy bed.
Proof that God is alive, he's surely not dead.

Give me two shots
of that
heart break
*****

She just called
to tell me that
her and me
are through

Looks like...

Another week of
suffering from
the brown bottle flu

My life can not
be sober if I
can't have
you.

If,

     I am water ?

  Your stone,

        offers no impediment.

Go ahead,
     and
heave it hard,

      you've got nothing!

remember,
remember back when you were just a toddler
and mommy and daddy told you to
beware of the monsters and strangers?

well,
what they were really telling you is that human beings/your friends are the real monsters
and danger.

never
remove your
eyes from
anyone.

once you have,
the damage incurred can never be undone.

eyes that smile hide a medieval darkness that sparkle like the blade of a guillotine.

a trusting fool
will always end up on the bad side
of a
crime scene.

Many people see
stars in the night sky.

while i see only a
graveyard,

and candles
still aflame on the graves,

even though they are
long extinguished by the angels.

The waves of life
come rushing in
against a human shore line.
Destined to caress
our feet
our hearts
our lives.
