My Destiny

   It’s not a mystery, no, no, no
There’s nothing to uncover
Everyone knows this to be true
If it’s not one thing it’s another

One minute you’re at the top of the hill
And the next you’re fallen down
Yes for every chance you get to smile
It’s not long till you’re wearing a frown

When I was a young man I was a victim
Of child abuse, physically and mentally
And even though I’ve left it behind
It seems it will be my forever penalty

As my life has moved on
I’ve come to discover
No matter what I do
I’m in a constant state of recover

Mentally I know that it’s my
Own voice inside my brain
That keeps holding me back
And I keep inflicting my own pain

Physically it’s as if I have my own
Personal evil spirit that I’ve conjured
And I cannot stop myself from
Stupidly finding a way to be injured

Don’t get me wrong I’m alright, life is
Just tough when I’m my own worst enemy
My past, my present and my future will
Uncannily be the same and be my destiny

I tell myself that I can’t
And last week I sprained my ankle
This week I smashed my hand
I’m 58 and I hurt all over but I have
To keep on keeping on

Twenty nine years ago I lost my mother to
Cancer, she was fifty nine. She died in May before her sixtieth birthday which would have been on this date November twelfth
So today is her birthday in Heaven.
Happy Birthday Mom❤️❤️❤️
I miss ya!!! Her favorite time of year was
Spring and she loved Butterflies and she is our Butterfly Angel.


🦋Butterfly Angel🦋

  In the dark of the night
Sometimes I cry
It’s been so hard,
Since you said goodbye

When I’m alone
Sometimes I see your face
The tears may fall
But I know you’re in a better place

Butterfly Angel,
So high and free
Butterfly Angel,
Watch over me

There isn’t a day,
I don’t think of you
I know I should be happy,
But sometimes I feel blue

Now you’ve sent me a sign,
Saying everything’s ok
A reason to live,
For a better day

Butterfly Angel,
So high and free
Butterfly Angel,
Watch over me

When I see you,
In your fluttering flight
With your colorful wings,
In the shimmering light

I know when God comes for me
I’ve got nothing to fear
The memory of you,
Will always stay strong and clear

Butterfly Angel,
So high and free,
Butterfly Angel,
Watch over me

Butterfly Angel,
So high and free
Butterfly Angel,
I know you’re watching over me

It’s Been A Long Time

   It’s been a long time since
I let him come out to play
It’s been a long time since
I let him enjoy the day

It’s been a long time since
I opened up the doors for the daylight
It’s been a long time since
I let the breeze flow, with delight

It’s been a long time since
I turned the stereo up loud like this
It’s been a long time since
I threw on some KISS

It’s been a long time since
I felt that child I’ve left behind
It’s been a long time since
I felt so unconfined

It’s been a long time since
I have, and hope you’ve enjoyed my rhyme
Today I let the kid inside of me come out
To play but it’s been a long time

The Residual

     He said he’d love her until the end
Of time, his love would never die
He promised that her eyes would never
Because of him sad tears cry

They lived happily and his love
Was true and never strayed
There were women who tried
But his heart was never swayed

One day he came home from work
And something just wasn’t right
Later that evening he went down to the
Kitchen for a snack and he died that night

One of his promises was broken
And sad tears fell like rain
Because it broke her heart and
It was such an unbearable pain

The very next night she was in the
Kitchen and she couldn’t take being apart
She took a kitchen knife and she
Pierced it through her heart

The new owners of the house swear they
See the couple locked in a time perpetual
He walks to get a snack as she pierces
Her heart in what’s known as the residual

Last Sun Rise

   The chaos has only just begun
The innocence of yesterday is lost
There’s no turning back the hands of time
The world is slowly being degaussed

The fire of Hell is rising from below
And coming through the surface cracks
Time is running out on humanity, God and
The Devil take all, browns, whites and blacks

There’s just a decision, a simple choice
Standing between you and Heaven or Hell
There’s no real pressure for you to decide
The end is near it’s no bombshell

Yesterday is gone, so live for today
But we all know Tomorrow may never come
I ask you are you willing to take the chance
Are you just completely numb

What path will you be on, when the time
Comes and no one hears your cries
Where will you find yourself at the
Time of your Last Sun Rise

An Angel To Me

   My baby is an Angel to me
Oh I know you can’t see her Angel wings
But I see Heaven in her eyes and I see
the beauty of Saturn and her rings

When she holds my hand
The feeling is overwhelming giddily
And I feel the warmth of her love
Knowing it’s given unconditionally

You may think that it’s silly and say
There’s no such thing as sweet bliss
But I am telling you the complete truth
And I feel it every time we kiss

It’s not hard to please her
No her love doesn’t have to be bought
She’s not a material girl, no sometimes
It just takes a gesture or the thought

I’m a lucky man and I know that I’m
Blessed to have a lady like mine
She can always pick me up when I’m down
And I’ll love her till the end of time

When you look at her, with your eyes
Her Angel wings you may never see
But my love for her will never stray
Because my baby is still An Angel To Me

I dedicate this poem to my wife
Cynthia, my Angel for life
I love you baby ❤️❤️❤️

The Wails Of The Banshee

  As the Sun rises to kiss the day
The fog is thick and lingering
Fall has set in and the air is crisp
The leafs are colorful but withering

In the distance we can hear the wails
Of the Banshee and fear for the worst
This town has a dark history and
Some say that it’s cursed

Tonight the Moon will be full
With a hazy halo ring
As it will rise above a darkening Sea
As a breeze sends a chill I pray for spring

For the fall is just the presser to winter
And winters here can be harsh
And with the night comes the danger
Of a strange creature lurking in the marsh

It comes in the fall and leaves in the
Spring and each year lives are lost
Some have described the creature
As a sinister looking Jack Frost

The town’s people all live in fear
And never go outside at night
As the creature seems to grave humans
To satisfy his monstrous appetite

Especially on a night of a full Moon with
A hazy halo ring above a darkening sea
There’s certain to be impending death
Upon hearing the wails of the Banshee
