Have You Ever

      Have you ever, I wanna know
Lost yourself in a moment of pleasure
Taken the time to kneel before Jesus
And allow yourself to be a confessor

Have you ever just watched a Butterfly
Fluttering and floating in the air
Taken the time to give your love and
Truly let someone know you care

Have you ever felt a gentle Kiss
On the lips, cheek or chin
Taken a minute to go skinny dipping
Just to feel nature upon your skin

Have you ever been vulnerable enough
To open your heart and let someone in
Taken the time to laugh at a stupid joke
Or just smile or give a quick grin

Have you ever held a tiny life
In the palm of your hand
Taken hold of a baby, a kitten or puppy
If so than surely you understand

Have you ever, just come to realize
Oh no you don’t have to be that clever
Taken the time to observe the miracles
Of God,so tell me Have You Ever

I’ll Make Believe

     I can be anything to anyone
I’m a man of a thousand faces
But what am I trying to hide
How can I gain your social graces

I’m a Hollywood movie star
A superhero on your theater screen
When you cry out for help
I’m the first on the scene

I’m your knight in shining armor
The Prince Charming of your dreams
When you have a nightmare
I’m the only one to hear your screams

I’m a Billionaire I’m your provider
I’m Handsome and I’m Debonair
There’s not a man in the whole world
That can come close to compare

I’m a Magic man and I’ve always
Got a trick up my sleeve
But in my true reality to you I don’t
Exist and so I’ll Make Believe

Sometimes when I'm tired,
I'll think that I don't want to exist
This life is suffering, striving,
And why should I continue
I hate the life I've made.

But there are other things
There are dreams
There is presence
There is support
There is beauty

When I'm in these things,
I don't think life is suffering.
I think issues can be managed
I don't think, really.
I just love.

The Love Snakes

       Be careful of loves bite, for
Loves venom will flow through your veins
The poison will quickly leave you to
Succumb while love slowly reigns

Beware the love Cobra
Their venom is lies
Their target area is straight
Into your trusting eyes

Don’t forget about the love Boa
His love is control and constricting
He’ll squeeze you so tightly
You’ll find his love slowly suffocating

Love rattler he’s a bad boy with a
Clear warning to stay away
His fangs are long his movements swift
It’s not a game I suggest you play

To feed your appetite for love
Please know all of the stakes
The love King is tamable and good
With kids and the best of The Love Snakes

When Death Was Calling

     Disappeared is all color
Everything is shades of grey
There’s no distinction between
The dark of night and light of day

The feeling is as dead of winter
The branches are bare
I’m finding it difficult to breathe
There’s a staleness in the air

I don’t know the days
It’s all just a blend
I’m alone with my thoughts
The devil is my only friend

This was my story from an eternity ago
My first KISS was a shock to life
The AED at the hands of Angels
Now thirty nine years with a wife

The past is gone and just a distant memory
I broke away from the enthralling
Cherishing life and glad I didn’t answer
The phone When Death Was Calling

MRS TIMETABLE

     Tick Tock, Tick Tock
The second hand fly’s
We can’t stop time
Everyone is born and everyone dies

Make the best of everyday
Let Love flow from your heart
Better how life is together
Then it is to be apart

The world is impossible on its own
Let alone we fuss and fight
In the end does it really matter
Who was wrong and who was right

Stop listening to the media
As they only tell us lies
Jesus says love is the answer
His word is the only one that applies

We all need to love as much as we can
And for as long as we are able
Because we all live under the same
Rules of MRS TIMETABLE

Dedicated to MRS TIMETABLE
Thank you for your heart and spirit
And inspiration, God Bless!!!

Unnatural Divide

    Beware the first fallen Angel
He feeds his hunger and quinces his thirst
He’s the snake, causes loved ones to fight
But remember family comes first

It’s alright for you to be you
It’s the land of the free
Don’t you think if that applies
It’s alright for me to be me

Our opinions may differ
But we’re flesh and blood
Don’t take our love
And bury it in the mud

You can’t be so strong
On the ground that you stand
To break the bonds over something
We may never fully understand

Who’s right or who’s wrong
Forget your pride
Does it really matter in the end
Is it worth this Unnatural divide

In honor of badwords
I’ve dropped the presumptuous
Copyright
In my defense it was just a bad habit
When I first started writing, my mother
Told me that I should do it.
She said that it couldn’t stop anyone from copying your writing but it might keep them from trying. I’ve been doing it since I was 14-15 years old. I apologize.
