I Remember You

     With every gentle misty rain
With every slightest pinch of pain
With each time I feel strange
With the ultimate winds of change

As each note weaves in and out of time
As each word searches for a remembered rhyme
As each lack of air makes me yawn
As each night receives its dawn

When every butterfly gets its wings
When every bird in the morning sings
When every time I stumble and blunder
When every Lightning is followed by thunder

With every mistake that I make
With every breath that I take
With every child I see at play
With every second that ticks away

As each memory I smile from ear to ear
As each time I shiver in fear
As each sky turns cold and grey
As each time it’s a bright sunny day

When I find myself alone
When I’m being dragged down by the stone
When your comfort comes shining through
I remember you

When Darkness Wins

     When you get lost in darkness
And hopelessness and doubt
When you feel there is nowhere to turn
And there’s no way out

When you feel worthless and you turn
To drugs or alcohol to ease your pain
You’ve lost everything and your dreams
Are washed away in a never ending rain

And suicide becomes the answer
And your own life you take
That’s when your loved ones get
Swallowed in darknesses wake

They loved you and tried to help
But you closed all the doors
And now your pain has been planted
In them like millions of spores

Your death left your soul
Unforgiven of your sins
emptiness devours the ones left behind
And that’s when darkness wins

Suicide doesn’t take away the pain
It just transfers it to someone else
Don’t let Darkness win!!!

My Beautiful Forever Valentine

     When I first saw your face
I knew you were my saving grace
My world was instantly a better place
I was no longer just a wonderer in time & space

A purpose was bestowed upon me
A reason to live a life that was meant to be
A life beyond the dream or a fantasy
But a life of our own wonderful odyssey

I never pictured myself in this way
I always thought I’d live an endless lonely day
Even when I get evil your heart will not stray
Your love is planted firm to stay

You love me though I be awkward and strange
Even still as my evolution is slow to change
It’s a bond with a unique interchange
With an endearing kind of exchange

Sometimes I feel like worthless slime
And stealing your love is a crime
I am so blessed that you are mine
My beautiful forever valentine

Love Chuck ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
For my wife, just wanted to share:

Mickey Gene

I am a KISS fan,some say I’m obsessed
But I say that this is really not true
With all of the evidence stacked against me
I don’t know what to say to convince you

Yes I have the CD’S and the Videos
I have a KISS bathroom as well
When I listen to them on my stereo
I turn it up and it puts my wife through hell

When I was 13 I heard Alive for the first time
I confess that I was instantly in love
If you put KISS down in front of me
A push may quickly become a shove

I go see them in concert when I can
No matter if it’s near or far
But an obsession is twenty four seven
And that’s not how I are

Because I love other rock & roll
And things about space and sports
And taking long drives and poetry
And Mickey Mouse and things of all sorts

I do have a plethora of KISS shirts I wear
So in a sense I can see what people mean
Because I even have one that I love
And that’s my Mickey Gene

Apocalyptic Sky

Time will come a day our
Earth will see its last
Chaos and confusion are norm,as
thoughts turn to days of past

Those whom never accepted
Thy gift of thy Christ
Whom never had faith nor
Could comprehend
his life he sacrificed

Will see his wonder and know
In death be unforgiven
And each heart like wood
Beneath the Axe be riven

And shortly it be realized
The decision of chosen path
And swiftly succumb  
to the Power of his wrath

The air be filled with sounds
Of humans cry
Beneath a dark, devilish
Apocalyptic sky

Thunderstorm

  We’ve been avoiding each other
Trying not to collide
But there’s only so many
Places we can hide

Why does it always
Have to be this way
It’s like we’re walking on
Broken glass every day

I come home to you
I don’t know what to say
I get this feeling that it’s
Just a game you play

Like a typical spring day
The cold clashing with the warm
The clouds are moving in
I think it’s gonna storm

It’s like a thunderstorm when we fight
You’re like lightning when you strike
With your burn coming as quick as
A flash of light
And I’m like thunder when I come down
I can smash you you as I stand my ground
And our love shakes apart
As we break each other’s heart
In the wrath of a thunderstorm

Now with all the wind and rain
We’ve suffered too much damage and pain
Left alone to pick up the pieces that’s
Left from the thunderstorm

This is a song that I wrote but
Rearranged it to make it a poem.
