Inter Me

      Who am I, do I even know myself
Thoughts I have some old and some new
I try to keep an open mind, I’m not
Afraid to see a different view

If you look closely, you will see
Variations of one dominant personality
It’s not necessarily a confirmation
That there’s a glitch in my reality

I’m just a man with a heart of gold
My intentions are usually good
But no matter what I say or do
Sometimes I’m still miss understood

My thoughts I transform into my
Poetry with words that tend to rhyme
Forever on the internet riding a wave
On an invisible cloud in space and time

And with each one posted it’s clear
To see the range of my diversity
And see my soul to the Devil will never
Be sold, so keep reading to inter me

Take It Back

       Since The first time we met
Somehow I guess I stole your heart
And you gave me your love ignoring
All the red flags from the very start

You told yourself you were the Angel
That was here to save my soul
But clearly you were blinded and you
Couldn’t see the Devil was in control

Despite all that was against you it
Amazed me how you always gave your best
Though you never really made any
Progress and you always failed the test

I had truly convinced myself that
There would never come a day
No I never thought you could give up
On love and you’d just walk away

I kept pushing your limits to see how
Far you would bend before you would break
I guess this was the last straw and
It was more than you could take

I shouldn’t be surprised after constantly
Shaking the foundation, it would crack
And as easily as you gave your love to me
There’d come a day you’d Take It Back

Heavens War

        All around us, everywhere and every
Second there’s this eternal fight
It’s the ultimate battle
Between the darkness and the light

It’s a war unlike any other and nothing
Any director can portray on a movie screen
The casualties are astronomical and
The statistics go unknown and unseen

The Devil knows that the worlds faith is
Weak and humans are so easily deceived
And so millions die as the gift
Goes without being wanted or received

As each day turns to night
The world keeps spinning out of control
The battle rages on but not for the
Flesh yet it is for the soul

As those in power improve their
Wealth and fall victim to evils lore
They ignore what is written,Jesus will
Return and be victorious in Heavens War

When I Write

   As I sit and begin to type
I release a thought from my head
It’s a realization that I am alive
And not a soul that’s dead

I also realize my own diversity
Myself from every side
And I can let go of things
That I no longer wish to hide

I know that I can be silly, like old ones
And dark like apocalyptic Sky
I can be romantic like for just one Rose
And words of steel may make you cry

With each poem I feel there’s
A need for a little story to tell
Like with screaming whisper
Or I’ve been to hell

I have been saved and if you read
Thank you then you read heart felt flight
I can show the darkness but
I also feel it’s important to show the light

Hopefully you can feel the passion
And know what I felt inside
And with Legend of the death train
I hope you enjoyed the ride

Beautifully Broken was inspired by
A user name and there’s the idea
The thought that triggers the mood
To what a heart Felt or can feel

So I hope this takes you inside the man
That I am and you have a little insight
Of what’s going on inside my head
With each poem when I write

For fanning a dying flame.

Kryptonite

       I thought that I was invincible
Breaking hearts without caution or yield
But I wasn’t going to fall in love, no
Not with my love deflection shield

Every time I felt myself fallen, I’d search
The depths of love so profound
I’d put the brakes on and skid to a stop
And I’d just turn myself around

But as fate would have it somehow, like
With fall the color of the leaves change
The law of averages would take love
And put it on center stage

Every time you would come near
I found it difficult to see and speak
I’d feel my stomach turning and I’d
Lose my strength and my knees got weak

That’s when I knew what it was like to
Be Superman with his Super Human Might
And I realized that I didn’t stand a chance
Because I knew you were my Kryptonite

Hope

Since the beginning of our time
Good and evil have existed side by side
Good is all around us in the open
Evil likes the darkness and tries to hide

Good we seem to overlook and evil
Reveals itself when we least expect it
Good is in our hearts and soul but we can
Be evil too for evil’s Fire is always lit

All of technology can be used for good
And evil can use it to play it’s game
We know good in the name of Jesus
And Lucifer to be evil’s name

Social media is one such example
Of just how each can be used
Anything good is wonderful and
Evil just cannot be excused

Here at hello poetry our thoughts and
Feelings are here for all to see
We have an opportunity to share ourselves
And it’s easier to just be free

And is doesn’t matter about our age or
Gender or views or race
We get to know each other no matter the
Miles apart, it’s as if we’re face to face

For me writing is one of the ways that
With the evil I can cope
And here at hello poetry I’ve found
All of you and in humanity I’ve found hope

Silent Night

    In the darkness, alone I sit
With just the flicker of one candle lit
As random thoughts flow, through my mind
Let my words be thoughts refined

No matter your troubled heart
Don’t let your life fall apart
Settle yourself deep therein
Find your strength and peace within

Take yourself to a secluded nook
Close your eyes,visualize a peaceful brook
For yourself take some time
In the night find beauty sublime

When your world has gone awry
And your sorrow escapes in tears you cry
Let Jesus be that flicker of one candle lit
Open thy heart and eyes, and focus on it

You will feel his holiness
His warm embrace and gentle kiss
And take that heart felt flight
And you’ll know the joy of a silent night

I Cry

       When I see it, it makes my heart break
I don’t know how much more I can take
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

America the beautiful and I look around
So carelessly people throw trash on the ground
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

Out in the cold, out in the heat
Homeless people living in the street
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

With no care for the lives they are seizin
People killing people for no reason
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

We are all on this world together to live
And selfishly we take instead of give
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

Our children should be safe from the villain
And more and more mothers are doing the ****’n
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

For the Devil is the one who planted the seed
Of all the cheating, lying and greed
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

Soon again humans of Earth will be ridden
If we don’t stop doing what is forbidden
I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

I wonder and I don’t understand why
And it gets to my very soul and I cry
And it gets to my very soul and I cry
And it gets to my very soul and I cry

Greed

  In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our quality
We started making it cheaper
And quicker to sell more quantity

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our pride
We took our production over seas
We let everything slide

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our values in our brothers
Now we’re in a position that we
Have to depend on others

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced made in the USA
To make America great again
There’s just one thing I can say

In America, we need to take it over,
Bring it all back, that’s what we need
No more Mexico no more China and one
Last thing, no more greed

My Mixed Emotion

        She left me standing all alone
Deleted my number from her phone
My friends said let’s have some fun
But that’s easier said then done

I feel our love was just wasted years
Now I’m fighting back my inevitable tears
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry
But when a heart breaks I question why

Words of love turned to wicked scorns
The Roses have withered leaving the thorns
I’m walking with a soul so tattered
On the ground my heart is shattered

The river still flows to the sea
The Eagle still soars the sky so free
The children still play in the park
The Sun still shines but everything is dark

There’s no woman now that I can trust
My tears turn everything to rust
Forever like a sailor lost out on the Ocean
I will be lost in My Mixed Emotion

A Boston State Of Mind

    Here I am a sixty three year old man
Listening to my rock & roll at my age
My teenage years always come flooding
Back to me though I’m in life’s third stage

My music still takes me back to a
Younger version of myself
So whenever I get a chance I’ll
Take something old off the shelf

I’ll dust it off and put it on
And let it take me back in time
Sometimes for my neighbors it may
Be too loud but that’s my life’s only crime

Especially when I open the windows
And turn it up when it’s eight in the morning
Sometimes I push the boundaries
Because my urges come without a warning

I’m known for my passion of KISS but
I listen to a variety you’d be surprised to find
Today I may be wearing a KISS shirt but
I’m in A Boston State Of Mind

Legend Of The Black Swan

     The oath was taken and there’s
No turning back now at all
You’re a part of an elite brotherhood
Sworn to answer the call

You’re the best they’ve seen in a long time
A ****** who’s shot is sure and true
Your reputation is growing with each ****
The best of the best, there’s only been a few

This is who you are, you’ve joined the dark side the oath taken under the black rose
You’ve mastered every trick, to perfection
Allowing for wind and the use of shadows

Though this isn’t the life you’ve dreamed
It’s the life that you were born into
And it doesn’t matter how much you wish
It could change, there’s nothing you can do

So you tell yourself lies to make yourself
Feel better after each assassin
You tell yourself that you will still
Join the Angels like a Saxon

After countless murders, in the distance
You hear the toll of your own bell
You’ll spend your eternity in the
Deepest fiery debts of hell

Yes this is your destiny and long
After your extinction like the Mastodon
Your legacy is that of the Angel of death
Known as the legend of the Black Swan

The Past Is Gone

     Some people say that I dwell
In the darkness of my one time hell
I don’t feel that I am bottled up in my despair
People take their pain to therapists to share

We all must vent before we blow
The reason for our pain we’ll never know
Jesus has taken me by the hand
He is helping me to understand

When I put it down in my simple rhyme
It helps release the hurt from that time
So I take what’s on my mind and write
To show the dark and the light

I tell people about what was once before
And they can see that it is no more
I have come a long way this I know
But I can see I still have a long way to go

I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me
I don’t need them to necessarily agree
God is healing the scars I thought would
Never heal
But know those scars are real

I am still awkward and strange
But I accept the things that I cannot change
I am moving forward no longer in a lull
And for the Lord waits my soul

The Devil will still use my darkness in his fight
God will be victorious with his light
I assure you all I am moving on
Though I still write about it,the past is gone

WITCH

      Some might say there’s no such
Thing as Witches and a Witch’s spell
But I tell you there is and all
Evil Witches go to Hell

Some may not have the ability
To make a magical potion
But still find a way to be Evil
If they choose to have the notion

Oh they can be such a deceptive charade
So innocent with blue eyes
But if you fail to see it, you’ll quickly become
A victim of their manipulation and lies

They slip into your life so silky smooth
They just have that special knack
And when you least expect it
They swiftly stab you in your back

So I warn you all of Witches
Be careful of their wake
If you have the opportunity
Burn them to a stake

Just trust me on these words I say
I have fallen victim, my life in ruin
All because my heart is trusting
And I couldn’t see what she was brewin

It takes an evil within oneself
To posses such a unique niche
I pray that no one out there ever
Comes in contact with a Witch

Difficult to go to work and enjoy my life.

Starting Over Again

           Now that it’s gone
I can’t stop the rain
Now time has passed and I am
Starting over again

Every time I see a pretty face
Every time I see a smile
Every time I see beautiful eyes
Starting over again

I can’t bring myself to look
I can’t bring myself to conversation
I can’t bring myself to even speak
Starting over again

Every time I think I can
Every time, I see her face
Every time I tell myself I can’t
Starting over again

I can’t even imagine it
I can’t begin to believe it
I can’t bare to breathe
Starting over again

Sands Of Time

      Time, it just keeps ticking away
It’s unforgiving as it passes us by
Everyday must be cherished even
If it brings sad tears to cry

Time, it has no feelings for us
Though we treasure it so
It’s almost our enemy because
Eventually it steals what we love and know

Time, one day there won’t be any
Left for us to carelessly spend
It will be gone so quickly like
The dust in the wind

Time, it will break your heart
Again and again and again
We can’t freeze it or stop it, to try
Would just be a foolish game we can’t win

Time, yes our precious time
In our hearts it’s so sublime
So give your love each day for we never
Know when we’ll run out the sands of  time

Rose in the fire song version of
All that remains are the thorns


                      Rose In The Fire

We had a love
We had a love so strong
Where did we
Where did we go so wrong

You use to smile
You use to smile so bright
It use to feel
It use to feel so right

(C) Now our love,Is like a rose in the fire
I feel like I’ve got a bull by the horns
When you throw a rose into a fire
All that remains are the thorns

I wish you
I wish you were still my only one
But I can see
I can see those days are gone

I think we
I think we both know
It’s time to
It’s time to just let it go

(C) Now our love,is like a rose in the fire
I feel like I’ve got a bull by the horns
When you throw a rose into a fire
All that remains are the thorns

(Music Interlude—Solo)

(B) Now as the smoke Clears from the sky
I’ve wiped the tears from my eye
It’s time to move on to a better day
We took our best years
And we threw them away

(Cx2) Rock out with the following x3

Rose in the fire,rose in the fire
Will we ever learn
Rose in the fire,rose in the fire
Just watch it burn

(End in music)

The Dawn Phenomenon

    In the grasp of the disease
Glucose is your enemy
The number is to be monitored so
Twice a day you check it dreadfully

Everything we eat causes
Your Sugar level to rise
So it’s shocking in the morning after
Sleeping you wake to your surprise

Before you eat breakfast your number
Is higher than the evening before
How can it be you didn’t snack before bed
You were conscious of the score

It can’t be true it’s gotta be a false read
Yet in fact it’s your new reality
As the body awakens there’s something
That happens to you naturally

If you’re a diabetic it’s like a demon
Planted evil seeds that spawn
And you begin to fear this thing known
As The Dawn Phenomenon

Everyone’s Talking

   A still small voice is calling
Know that Jesus saves
Out in the streets hear the noise
Hear it over the airwaves

This is the Devil at his finest
It’s so hard to find the love
When the world is fighting and
Every push becomes a shove

Everyone one knows the two paths
We all have the right to choose
In times of difficulty when we fight wrong
With wrong the end result is we all lose

Every Time there’s a disaster see it
On the news, those that come to rescue
And then there’s those that loot
Forgive me and my pirlicue

When one is killed wrongly by police
We agree that it wasn’t right
But in turn is this cause or reason to
Rioting and causing a national racism fight

In hindsight couldn’t we have protested
And voiced ourselves in a way that inspires
Not by disrespecting others property by
Busting windows and setting fires

Outside at your door you
Cannot hear him knocking
The Devil has us fighting and no one’s
Listening but everyone’s talking

The Wilted Witch

       She’s a most Evil one
She’s the Devil’s Daughter
She’s got a thirst for blood like a
Dehydrated Athlete has for water

She has a dedicated patience
For hers is a soul eternal
She has a natural curiosity and
Unsuspectingly walks among the Mortal

If you come in contact with her
Make sure you get on her good side
If she feels you’ve crossed her
There’s no where you can hide

Her wrath would be put upon you
Brought from the depths of Hell
You’ll suffer until you die never
Knowing that you’re under a spell

Things will continue to happen as if
Your life was a video game glitch
You’ll never know that you were
Blind Sided by The Wilted Witch

Front Line

   We don’t have the evidence if this
COVID-19 Was an accident or deliberate
But the fact remains that it is real
And it is able to mutate

So this is not technically called a war
There’s no Bombs or Bullets flying
But all over the world, reports are coming
In with thousands of people are dying

We hear China talking but we all
Know that they are lying
And quickly we have a Pandemic
And the world is crying

The numbers could be astronomical
And I don’t want to sound like a manic
I am not writing this to cause chaos
And certainly I don’t want to cause panic

But I do want to stress, in these times
Well I’ll put it like this
I want you all to stay home
Stay calm and listen to KISS

Seriously though it is getting scary
And it’s not something anyone would pine
But here we are the people in health care
Standing on the front line

Colossal

    Are we alone is the question
As we search the vastness of space
The curiosity and the wonder of life
In another galaxy but still no trace

Sometimes we wonder if this is it
Is there nothing more
We wonder about the meaning of life
What are we living for

As we get caught up in the day to day
Sometimes we forget to live
We sometimes get angry, we forget
We have love in our hearts to give

We lose our faith in a supreme being
Because it just seems unfathomable
How can this ancient story be true
But can it be so unimaginable

Can it be that we are like rebellious teens
And just refuse to be docile
Just because we cannot comprehend
Something so beautiful and colossal

In The Woods Beneath A pine

    Last night I slept next to his
Body one last time
They may have his head
But they won’t get mine

Did she **** him and is she
Now a fugitive on the run
Or did they **** him and they
Need to get her for the job to be done

If I left it there, it would be
A deep dark mystery
But I will continue on and reveal
A story from our grim history

The year was eighteen sixty five, the
Slaves were freed and the KKK was born
The Republicans fought for race equality
And the Dems felt a deep scorn

The leaders of the Democratic Party
Believed the good black was a dead black
Earlier that night they burned a cross on
His lawn and later came the attack

They were known as the men in white
Pastors and law men and the butcher
They killed her husband and now
They were out to catch her

As the clock strikes midnight, in the
Distance she hears the howls of the canine
As she stops for a quick breath
In the woods beneath a pine

Spring

     Summer has long faded away, with
Only its memory that’s trying to remain
As I sit here in a shiver, so desperately
It’s Summers heat I wish I could retain

For now as I write these words
The fall rain has switched to snow
The Christmas decorations are complete
Including the hanging of the mistletoe

It’s a guilty pleasure of mine to wait
For her there just to steal a kiss
I’m a blessed man to have her and
Seriously I never dreamed a life like this

As it gets nearer to Christmas day
Like a child the anticipation is setting in
Wondering what presents wait for me
Just thinking about it brings a quick grin

It brings me more joy though to make her
Smile and I hope she likes her presents
Every year it’s always the same
My soul fills with excitement and suspense

The snow is beautiful covering the ground
And trees, like a true winter wonderland
I admit that it’s a wonderful
Feeling to see it firsthand

But seriously as I shiver, my mindset
Is dreaming of birds as they sing
And the flowers and the bees
And the butterflies and warmth of spring

Invisible Man

  I’ve been working my job one hundred
Percent, blood sweat and tears
Community service to my best ability
For the past ten years

Everyone knows my name and everyone
Knows my heart and soul
They know the work and service
I provide as I play my role

With each day my only challenge
Is the fight I have with myself
I wish I could take my thoughts
And store them on a shelf

But the bottom line is no matter
How far that I go above and beyond
It’s taken for granted and won’t be
Noticed until I’m dead and gone

I slip in to start my day unnoticed and
I go out and do everything I can
I come back stealthy as well and
It’s like I’m the invisible man

No Tomorrow

     There’s so many people living
With so much pain and sorrow
They’re living in the world of the
Past and they worry about tomorrow

Is our lives meant to be lived without
Hope and with a heart without repair
Is there no time for a life of joy
When we live with so much despair

If the Sun comes out tomorrow will
Will it make us smile enough to get by
If the Sun hides behind the clouds
Is it solely a reason to cry

There’s always tomorrow or so they
Say or at least those who procrastinate
I hope they’re right and they’ve got
Nothing left undone before it’s too late

Because all the money won’t buy more
Time and there’s none you can borrow
I know it’s cliche but we should all
Live life as if there’s No Tomorrow

The One

     Attention all people gather around
Let me extend an official lathe
To tell you amazing stories about
People whom had unwavering faith

Like the story of Noah, a righteous man
Instructed to prepare for the rain
He was told to build an Ark
And the people thought he was insane

They mocked him as he built
His vessel designed to scon
Then came the rain and they
Soon realized that he was the one

Now there’s the story of Moses
He said to the Pharaoh let thy people go
He was also laughed at and mocked
As the Pharaoh stood fast with a no

Then the plagues came to destroy
The Pharaoh and the Evil that did spawn
And the day of freedom came
And they knew Moses was the one

But here’s the most amazing, for every
Person that feels like Delta Dawn
And you’ve surely lost your way
Remember he left the 99 For The One

Alone Again

        There’s no turning back now
I’m past the point of no return
My destiny it seems is to keep burning
Bridges, I guess I’ll never learn

I’m on yet another journey without
A blueprint or any kind of plan
I didn’t  want to leave this way
But I was forced to play my hand

Out on the highway driving in the
Blowing snow,  I’m completely exhausted
I’m struggling to stay awake and
Keep my windows defrosted

We were together last night
We shared an enchanted kiss
I was riding on cloud nine
Living a life of complete bliss

We had a chemistry there was
A spark and there was desire
I certainly felt I was on the edge of
Love but it wasn’t enough for the fire

I’m a man and I can’t remember the last
Time I cried, fighting the tears in my eyes
I can’t believe another chance for love
Was lost and my inevitable demise

I’ll never know what went wrong
What was the beginning of the end
How can I go on without you and what’s
My purpose now that I’m Alone Again

Heaven Or Hell

    They say the end is near, they say
There will be a day as dark as night
I’ve got no worries about that time
For I’m on a heart felt flight

I know that I won’t be one among
The millions of humans cry
Beneath that dark and Devilish
End of times Apocalyptic Sky

But I am not writing this to say I’m
Above you, no not by far
But just to ask a question, I’m just
Wondering where you are

Have you received God’s precious gift
Or can you hear Hell’s Bell’s toll
If what they say is true, there’s no time
To waste to decide who gets your soul

As long as you breathe, you can
Listen to that still small voice
You have the mind and freedom
To decide, it’s your choice

You may question, how do I know,
I say I feel it in my heart
I’ve been put back together
After being so torn apart

I just know I feel his love,
I don’t have to worry or wonder
This may not be enough for you
And you may hesitate as you ponder

I just want you to know, I gave him my
Heart and he took away my pain and sorrow
Life is short and everyone knows
There’s no guarantee of a tomorrow

Maybe there’s nothing to it at all
How can any one human really tell
Until you’ve breathed your last breath
And find yourself in Heaven or Hell

Heaven Sent

    I can tell you all about my deficiencies
And I can tell you about all that I’m not
I can tell you about the darkness
And everything that I haven’t got

I can tell you a million excuses
To why I’m not where I once wished to be
But I cannot explain the cosmos
Nor can I explain God’s plan for me

I can’t tell you how many tears I’ve cried
Or how many times my world fell apart
I can’t show you the million cracks
That make up this broken heart

I know that I am no Casanova
And I am not the man of steel
I’m not the Prince of England
But my love for my baby is real

I’ll never have the riches of my dreams
But no longer do I have a heart of discontent
Because I know my baby is an Angel
And I know she was Heaven sent

Government Experiment

The flu is real, COVID—19 Is real
And so is Cancer and MD
and so many other things that
Can harm either you or me

As we move forward into the future
Life isn’t a candy stick of peppermint
Please know that all the rest was
Just a government Experiment

Twas the night before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas
And KISS is rocking my house
Not a creature can be seen
Not even a mouse

The neighbors are all checking
To see what the heck is a matter
For none of them,not one
Has ever heard such a clatter

When they looked in my window
They saw me rocking around my tree
A nightmarish sight I am sure
They wish they didn’t see

My windows were shattered and I was
Screaming on Peter,Ace,Paul and Gene
And turning the volume up louder when
The Police arrived on the scene

They said man it is Christmas Eve
It’s obvious to us you are a black sheep
Why do you feel the need to rock when
Your neighbors are trying to sleep

I told the officers that it was in my DNA
I was born to rock & roll
I have always been on Santa’s naughty list
And have always received bags of coal

They turned my music off and took my
KISS CD’S and gave them to a trooper
I waited until they all drove out of sight
And I began to listen to my Alice Cooper

KISS-K-I-S-S
        Definition-(Keep It Simple Stupid)

Whispers in the wind, shadows glistening
Enchanted silo-wets naked together
In a longing embrace on a majestic cloud.
The universe to your beauty
Is why the weeping willow weeps
As the wind blows, hear nature speak.
The epitome of what is meant to be,
A stream in the meadow, a birds song,
A soft butterfly caress, a good witches spell
Never to be broken. Voices carry a love song everlasting with words that linger
All thrown together, never understood
And make no sense but because they are beautiful it seems they were written by a genius. Though I could write them if I tried I Simply just like to leave you with a KISS

Fallen Angel

     I can feel your pain, I know
And I have secret to tell
This is just between you and me
Not all fallen Angels go to Hell

So if you’re feeling low and you
Think you’ll never see the Dawn
If the darkness has surrounded you
And you feel like you’re the lost one

Just listen to me, I know
If you’re feeling you can’t go on
It hurts so deep inside and
You’re just hurtin for someone

Take my word, I know
If it feels,the pain will never be gone
Just know In your heart you’re
Not the only lonely one

In the shadows between the lines
Hear the echoes and recall
Hear the whispers and know
You’re not the first to fall

No you’re not the first to fall
And you know you won’t be the last
If you want to find love again
You must release your past

Just take some time to unwind
Your broken heart from its tangle
And when you’re ready, just take
The hand of another fallen Angel

This is not a poem.

Where Is God?

To those who may be wondering,
Where is God?
To those who believe,
You know the answer.
The notion and miss conception is
That if there’s a God,
Then why?
Why is there all of this Hell on Earth?
Why is there all of this pain and suffering?
Why?, Why?, Why?
The answer is—- This is Earth,
We were created to Love!!!
Love each other unconditionally!!!
Just like his love for us.
The battle between good and evil has been
Since the beginning of time.
We are given the freedom to choose,
It’s that simple!!!
We can choose to be good or evil.
God is not and will not just gonna save everyone from this world.
That’s not the deal.
The Deal——It’s very simple,
He says, choose me.
That’s it, in your heart choose me
And ask to be forgiven of your sins.
Choose me and I will save you, I will
save your soul from
An eternal life in Hell and give you an everlasting life in Heaven.
Die unto yourself and be reborn into a life
With me and when your days are over here in
This world you will join me in Heaven!!!
The signs are showing—It is written these are the end of days.
It’s been for awhile and there’s nothing written about how long the end of days
Will last.
We cannot turn it around.
All that we can do is make that choice.
The choice to be saved, the choice to receive the gift. We can choose to love and not to hate. We can choose forgiveness and to forgive.
That’s it people, it’s that simple!!!
Look, for those whom already know,
You have nothing to worry about.
I’m not here trying to force my beliefs onto anyone. I am just trying to be a messenger and present the news.
You can say it’s just a fairytale, a fantasy or a dream and that’s okay, I will never judge you or  condemn you because that’s not my job or my intent.
So you can say that I am wrong and I can tell you that you are wrong and that will be that.
I just know this one most important factor,
Disappointing, oh you bet ya, it would most definitely be if I die and find out that I am wrong.
But just think about that and think about how disappointed you will be if you find out that I am right.
I’d rather believe and be wrong
Then not believe and be wrong.
All I can do now is Love you and pray for you!!!
God Bless!!!

For Just One Rose

    I live my life as to ways taught
Only as the golden rule
But alone I am and I wonder
If I am but just a fool

I have given my love
For it be thrown in a fire to burn
A thousand of lessons
You’d think I would learn

Yet I know deep inside
There is someone for everyone
So I searched and I prayed to find
My love for life before my life be gone

Now I have found her
Yet I feel myself begin to hesitate
My heart is stopping me
As I question my fate

But in my eyes she is beautiful
I dare to offer my heart, for her to take
If she were to dismiss it
So fragile it would surly break

So in the misty morning,as the sweet
Smell of the dew tickles my nose
I risk the pain of thorns
For just one rose

The Scorpion Queen And Her Twin Telson
      
    She’s an Angel, or at least
That’s the illusion she wants us to see
But I believe she’s the Devil
And there’s fire burning within thee

She’s beautiful in every way
Her dress is yellow and black
She’s perfect in every way but I
Caution you, beware of her attack

She may promise you Heaven
You may easily fall under her spell
But if you do, you may soon realize
You’re on the highway to Hell

I’ve heard the myths and fear the legend
Of her Angelic voice as she begins to sing
And how that’s the only warning
She gives just before her sting

There’s unbearable pain as her venomous
Poison runs through your veins
And how death is welcomed as you realize
You’re trapped inside a world she reigns

I know you’re the King of your castle
The Captain of the ship
I hope you have a heart of stone
And a stiff upper lip

Be prepared for your sentence, a life
In the grips of her power with no parole
You’ll be a useless man, a zombie
Without existence and without a soul

If you dare to venture into the stormy sea
Be sure your ship has a sturdy keelson
For even Hercules would succumb to
The Scorpion Queen and her twin telson

NEVER KNOW COME DEATH

    New born baby, so delicate, so fragile
This little life in your hands
I just wanna say this clearly
So that everyone understands

Give your love unconditionally
To this heavenly sent gift
Treasure each moment of their life
For time can be so unforgivingly swift

And if today you find conflict with anyone
And tempers rage and hatred reigns
Quickly find a way to forgive and
Don’t keep your love in chains

Pray for those whom don’t know Jesus
This doesn’t take special skill or magic art
It’s just the simple power of prayer
And prayer comes from the heart

This shouldn’t be that difficult so
Give your love freely with every breath
For life is so minutely temporary, we
Never know come death

HELLO POETRY PSA

In all seriousness I hope that everyone is
Doing well and you are all safe and secure
From this Coronavirus.
I’m an FTO for a private Ambulance company
In Ohio. I am just getting ready to start my shift for today. I do have an off time but just to give you an example, Yesterday my off time was at 1700 hours 5:00 PM.
I clocked out five hours after that at
2200 hours 10:00 PM.
I posted my last poem over 20 hours ago.
I pray that all of you stay safe and that no one catches this virus.
GOD BLESS ALL!!!

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

Without You

   Well it’s no secret, I was on the
Highway to Hell at a high rate of speed
The world had abused me enough
And I bled all that I could bleed

Just another lost worthless soul
Wondering aimlessly in the wilderness
I was without direction and without
Love and my heart was filled with bitterness

Darkness had convinced me that it was
My only friend and I would never see light
I didn’t have a dream, I was brainwashed
And broken living in a constant night

At an early age life had been ****** out
Of me and I didn’t have any desire
I was sure that my destiny was to walk
Eternally on Brimstone through fire

But God saved me by sending me an
Angel, this much I know is true
I don’t ever want to think about my one
Time fate without him and Without You

Runaway

     Runaway, Runaway, you can never
Runaway, the truth will always find you
It doesn’t matter what the truth is
In the end there’s the truth we knew

In the Goodfellas we can see the truth
Right before our own eyes
Life always catches up to you even
If you’re in your best disguise

The wise guys, the Goodfellas
The family and the golden rule
Never be the Rat remember togetherness
And never play each other for the fool

But the reality is you can’t trust anyone
Soon they all want their own stack
No longer satisfied with just a cut
Eventually everyone gets it in the back

It’s the universal lesson you learn
When you decide to betray
You find yourself in witness protection
And your the stiff you tried to Runaway

Her Spell

    I was young but far from innocent
But I still thought love passed me by
Forever grounded and always alone
My broken wings to never fly

The fairytale, never a reality but I
Dreamed life could still be bliss
Then I saw her and I was hypnotized
And my life changed with a kiss

What they say about it, all the symptoms
Was becoming my experience
But everyone said not to worry about it
For it was proven not to be deleterious

In her presence I felt so strange
And I would lose my ability to speak
My stomach would turn upside down
And my knees would grow weary and weak

And now as the years have passed us by
Still burning brightly is the flame
I know that for me, forever
It will always remain the same

I’ll always remember my flight
And the instant of the Sudden chandelle
The day that everything changed
As I fell helplessly under her spell

Dedicated to my wife Cynthia
April 13th 1983 was our first date
I married her April 14th 1984
I truly still get the symptoms of her spell
When we’re together.

I Love You All!!!
This is unbelievably overwhelming!!!
I’ve never shared my poetry like this
In any type of forum.
My heart is feeling your love and
Your passion. I promise I’ll be reading your poetry as I continue to explore and experience this site. I have been inspired to write again as you may have noticed with my copyright dates. I literally just wrote a few of the poems that you are liking and loving. Thank you all!!! God Bless!!!

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

Old Ones

  I remember my youth and
The energy that was endlessly flowing
And today I feel that energy
Continually slowing

I remember my elders and
How they envied me
Wishing they could store
That energy for eternity

Now the years have passed me by
And I still feel the kid Inside of me
But I have no clue just where
That energy might be

I know it's lost in some
Kind of a galaxy Void
Harnessed inside some
Kind of a robot droid

Or maybe it's frozen in the
Space and time doldrums
Or maybe it was  hijacked
By the old ones

Caterpillar To A Butterfly

  I Never thought I would be a husband
Never thought I would be a dad
Never thought life had a purpose, never
Saw anything good from a life so sad

But through it all some how I survived
And it’s something I’ll never understand
But there’s always been a light from above
And I guess I don’t need to know the plan

Never saw myself as more than worthless
For it was pounded in my brain
Never had a moment to be proud
Never wanted to carry on my fathers name

But as we fast forward to now
I can see all the times Jesus carried me
So I gave him my heart
And from the darkness I am free

I have a beautiful wife and daughter too
You know that life that wasn’t for me
But some how here I am
And I feel it was meant to be

When I think about it you know, it most
Always brings tears of joy to my eye
Because I got to see my baby girl
Transform from a Caterpillar to a Butterfly

Living In A World New

   Once not long ago, the birds use to
Sing in the trees outside my window
But where are they now
I’d give my life to know

Once not long ago, the Sun use to shine
Life was as beautiful as a rainbow
But where is it now, its warmth
And its light it refuses to show

Now the sky is grey and heavy with rain
The leaves whither and fall
My days are filled with darkness
And life doesn’t feel worth living at all

Even the Stars refuse to sparkle
And the Moon has lost its glow
Old man river is dry and his
Water is stagnant without flow

Once not long ago, you were mine
And I thought our love was true
But now you’re gone and I’m alone in
Darkness, living in a world new
