Time To Cut The Rope

       You’re my best friend I won’t deny
But your problems are too much
Making life hard and our connection
Is getting further out of touch

The rope I gave was for your rescue but
You’re using it for committing a suicide
Killing our relationship and your career
And my emotions I just can’t hide

Life is hard, I can’t wait for it to get easier
Or comfortable like a favorite sweater
Life is never going to be easy so in hard
Times I must find a way to get better

I will always be here for you, this
I need you to understand and realize
But now that rope that’s killing you is
Killing me As tears fall from my eyes

For you and your life
I will never give up on hope
But if I am to save myself
It’s Time To Cut The Rope

Dear; Hello Poetry

   First of all I want to thank you all for
Your friendship and kindness!!!
Question? Does anyone know what happened to Beautifully Broken and Scripted Silence?
  Now for the reason of this letter.
I apologize for not reading and responding as
Often as when I started and I apologize for not writing as much either.
I know I don’t owe anyone any explanation but for those of you whom may care, I feel that I should explain or tell why.
One of my problems was writers block,
The worst that I have ever experienced and it kept me from reading other works as well.
I lost myself in depression and lack of confidence and inspiration.
The other problem is that we meaning my
Wife and I were living through a real life drama in literally what movies are made of.
The FBI and the Medicaid fraud department are at this very moment investigating into this crap and I am really having trouble understanding everything and trying to get a grip on things. I should mention that we meaning my wife and I have been found innocent and free and clear of any charges but members of our father in law’s family may find themselves behind bars and at least one of them may be charged with ****** as well. When all of this stuff started both my father in law and mother in law were both alive and now they are both dead and we have had to deal with two funerals and we find out that Mom wasn’t even in the Will and he was a loving Christian man and he loved her dearly and he wouldn’t have done that.
Second there’s $64,000 dollars from an account missing and my father in law’s death is suspicious. Mom died after with declining health issues and Dementia from Alzheimer’s. I hope and pray that they get to the bottom of it all and the ones involved get what they deserve. So needless to say on top of Covid and everything else, this has been a really bad time in our lives. We need to get away and we’re off to Hawaii this Saturday for 14 days of much needed vacation.
We just need to put everything behind us for a little bit. No work no investigation no nothing.
Please keep us in your prayers and I promise I’ll try to read more and comment more and like and love more and write more.
You’re all very special to me even though I’ve never really met any of you personally.
I still feel like I know you.
I’m sad also because It seems Beautifully Broken has left our little family.
God Bless you all!!!

Love Chuck!!!
P.S. Thanks for all of your love for the poem that I posted yesterday (Your Name)
I’m at work today, my last day before vacation so I gotta go for now.❤️❤️❤️

The Last Time

     Today I’m walking in Sunshine
Free from yesterday’s rain
Today my life is full of Joy
Free from yesterday’s pain

Today my eyes are wide open
And there’s beauty in what I see
Now that the vail of darkness
Can no longer hide it from me

There’s a new awareness in all of
My senses now that the truth is revealed
I’ve surrendered my life, I’m born again
All of my brokenness has been healed

I can’t believe that I wanted to take my
Own life in a time long ago
And if I had, the life I live now
Is a life I would never know

And now that sound of Hells Bells
As they constantly chime
Is a sound that has been silenced
And I’ve heard them for The Last Time

Destination Hawaii

    I work hard and I work long hours
It’s always a forty plus hour week
So there’s really a no brainer
It’s always a good time that I seek

Vacations come usually only one time
In the span of a year
And because of Covid last summer
We just stayed right here

Here being home and not one
Place did we dare to go
So the Virus seems to be under control
But does anyone really know

The restrictions were relaxed
And we decided to book a trip
And even though the numbers are rising
Tomorrow we arrive on the air strip

A lot has happened and unfortunately
We lost two loved ones so dear
And with everything else it’s just
Been one Hell of a year

So I’m sorry but I’m going to put it all
Behind a make this stern decree
I’m going to have me some fun
And I’m headed for destination Hawaii

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

God Is Crying

      With his voice, it began
Out of the darkness, there was light
He was happy with his creation, when it
Was finished, it was beautiful in his sight

All he wants for us is to love, if you
Listen you can hear his still small voice
He loves us so much so that his love
Is not forced, it’s still our choice

Now as he looks down and sees so many
Are so consumed in hate and people dying
His heart is breaking in two as it fills
With pain and know that God is crying

How can a soul, anyone with a heart
Think that it’s right and find it gratifying
To riot and burn and **** in any rage
Without remorse, know God is crying

No one knows what is right as the Devil
Deceives so well and finds it satisfying
Pitting us all against each other
All the while he knows God is crying

We cannot see what is beyond the surface
The bigger picture of the evil underlying
The media has told so many lies, the truth
Is lost forever and know that God is crying

With each day that passes, the words
And the images become more horrifying
The fire down below now burns in the
Heart of man and know God is crying

People I pray please open your eyes
To all the signs that are notifying
From up above he grieves
Yes know that God is crying

In the end of days, evil will be called good
And good be called evil, so terrifying
So it is written and so it shall be done
And know that God is crying

The Death Of A My Bracket

   It’s tournament time again
My brackets are in
I’ve got my fingers crossed
Praying for my teams to win

The first and second round was a flurry
Of underdogs fighting to stay in the chase
When the madness was over
Surprisingly I was in first place

I originally had four brackets in and tonight
Drastically by the smallest margin in score
Three of my brackets bit the dust
And they don’t exist anymore

I’ve got one still hanging on and for the
Money I’m depending on its survival
And it’s killing me because I am forced to
Root for TTUN, The Ohio State Rival

But if I am to win it all I’ve got to root
For a team called Gonzaga
Can anyone feel my pain and
Can you understand my saga

Every year It drives me insane
They come and put me in a straitjacket
Because one minute I’m in first place
The next I witness the death of my bracket

Into The Night

   As the day slips away
And the dusk turns to twilight
I know my tears are gonna flow
As time gives into the night

Our love was passion and fire
I knew I was never gonna be the same
And now it’s all just a memory and
In the night the wind whispers your name

And as people see me now
There’s no words that can be spoken
I didn’t know a heart was made of glass
And how easily it could be broken

Now that you’re gone, with each day
The love inside of me slowly dies
You were taken too soon and forever
I’ll be haunted by your green emerald eyes

Time is irrelevant, pain is constant
As I’m faced with the reality of my plight
And I fear getting lost forever in my
Dreams as I enter Into The Night

In The Color Of Night

       Life that was once of family and
Love filled with times of togetherness
Long gone and forgotten lost in the
Shadows of darkness and loneliness

Family picnics and reunions and
Birthday parties are now just memories
Euchre tournaments and Christmas
Parties are in vaults of past centuries

No one ever calls but may send a random
Or rare text Separated by generations gap
Lost are the ones that were the glue
The Elders left behind didn’t adapt

Technically still bonded by blood
But it’s the only way we’re connected
Now we’re just people we once knew
And more like strangers rejected

The only time we’re together is when
One of us dies and walks into the light
When everyone cries around a casket
All dressed In The Color Of Night

Hi.

FALL

     I was living alone
Just trying to survive
Working my life away
Not sure if I wanted to be alive

I’d cry myself to sleep
After I turned out the light
My dreams were absent of color
They were always in black & white

Each day I’d force myself to carry on
Though I never knew why
Time was always in slow motion
As the world just passed me by

Never knowing God’s plan
Living in a dismal reality
Wishing on the brightest Stars
From a distant galaxy

Then I saw your face
And I heard love call
The Angels were singing
And I knew I was gonna FALL

I found out yesterday that my KISS buddy
Paul, Passed away yesterday and this morning
My wife had a stroke 🙏🏼 Please

Watch You Fall

     Do you still think about your past
Do you still think about you and I
And if you do, does it make you smile
Or tell me does it make you cry

Do you still tell yourself
You weren’t the one that would scrutinize
Do you tell your friends you let me go
How does your brain rationalize

In your own little world
Do you you live in a fantasy
Will you ever face yourself
Will you ever understand reality

Will I ever matter at all or did you
Just dismiss me from the start
When you look back now, was there
Ever any love for me in your heart

And as you were hanging on the
Edge of love and I was holding on
Did I lose my strength or did I let
You slip away knowing love was gone

In your arrogance and memory
What does your mind recall
Was it you or was it me?
Did I let go just to watch you fall

Beautifully Broken

    We know that you’ve been hurt
Deep down in your soul
The music no longer plays your song
There’s no country there’s no rock & roll

You think there’s no love for you
The ship passed unseen in the night
Love for you is just a dead star
And what’s left is it’s dimming light

But I know that love will find you
And recognize the sparkle in your eyes
It will be so spectacular and it will be
The most wonderful of a surprise

The planets will someday all align
Though I know the universe is vast
And it seems completely impossible
But you will find a love that last

The music will play again and
I know the birds will sing
The flowers will bloom and from the grey
Color will again be returned to everything

Your heart will beat and be warm like it’s
Wrapped in a quilt that’s beautifully woven
Happily ever after is waiting for you and
No more will you be beautifully broken

Beast Of The Angels Demise

    It’s Two Am and the darkness
Still reigns the night
The tears are fallen and it’ll
Never be too soon come the light

In the shadows I see the vision and
I can hear the echoes of love and joy
But love was conquered and destroyed
In a battle matching the likes of Troy

She was an Angel so pure,
She was sure she had the power to heal
But my pain was over bearing
Ultimately crushing her Keel

Disabling her so badly that she was
Unable to spread her wings and fly
My darkness took her life with
Unknown powers that mystify

I guess I’m destined to be without love
My heart just a sacrificial lamb
A darkness will forever reign and
Time will be forever frozen at two AM

It’s unbelievable the events
That came to materialize
And I can never forgive myself for being
The beast of the Angels demise

Green Depression

   Just like with my Buckeyes, I’m an
Eagles fan and I wear my heart on my sleeve
Now here I am waking up to a blue Monday
In shock from a disaster I can’t believe

I know that I sound crazy sometimes
When I talk about conspiracy theory
And I know that I put people off
And make them feel a little weary

But please understand that’s the passion
If you truly know me, you know I’m all in
Jesus, Wife, Family, Buckeyes, KISS,
Friends,Eagles and I wanted them to win

The State Farm connection I needed
For everyone to see,
It was played in the State Farm Stadium
And the spokesperson is the QB of KC

But I’m not really a crazy person
There’s no need to be afraid of me
The bottom line is an Eagles fumble gave
The Chiefs a TD and the Eagles had no D

So here I am on this Blue Monday
With no way to let out my aggression
And I can’t seem to fight my way out
Of my severe case of Green Depression

Annihilation

     It started out as a normal day, with
The waves softly crashing upon the shore
The Sun was was kissing the day
Like it has always done before

Little did anyone know just how quickly
That it was all about to change
The events that would take place that
To say the least would be extremely strange

And it would be the beginning of the end
A slow but seemingly deliberate evolution
The end of our present existence
And our mindless stagnation

It came aimlessly from the vastness of space
And it crashed at the ocean’s edge
A living Alien Rock of cells and upon impact
Immediately started to grow like a sedge

It multiplied and created its own atmosphere
It invaded every living thing as to merge
To become one with the host or more like
A take over if you will, a sort of purge

And the world as we know it was lost
Forever by this uninvited annexation
And this virus entity that inherited the
Earth Forcibly by Human Annihilation

Love Is A Villain

    When I was a young man
Love was a scary thing
I listened to the rock stars
And the lyrics they would sing

So I would heed the warning
Whenever love had me in its sights
KISS Love is a slap in the face, Nazareth
Love hurts,Def Leppard, Love bites

So needless to say, when it came to love
My heart rejected made me a skeptic
I always felt that love was a fairytale
Love was something synthetic

But against everything, I trusted love
I feel for you hard and fast
I told myself that this time I
Found a true love, one that will last

In my heart I truly felt love and I thought
You were the one in a million
But you were what they warned and
Proved that love is a Villain

The Media
  
   It use to be informative
It use to be both sides of the story
It use to be the good and the bad
And stories of triumph and glory

Now it’s all about fear and hate
And political divisions left or right
Now it’s all about doom and gloom
And getting their ratings for the night

I can’t remember the last time that I
Saw any emotion on a reporter’s face
They just seem like stone cold robots
Far removed from the human race

The world hanging on every word
Of their fake news and lies
Dressed in their dresses and suits
Just the Devil in disguise

The only light they shine is evil
The ultimate dark light
Pitting us to turn on each other
As they watch us argue and fight

They are nothing but serpents
Technically known as Ophidia
The one and only, truth is
The Devil is the Media

The Hardest Part

     Oh Lord Jesus, I’ve always heard
If it sounds too good to be true
Then I should never trust it
So how can I believe in you

Can it really be that simple
As easy as you make it seem
How am I supposed to know
The reality from the dream

What about the joy and tell me
What about the pain
What about the Sunshine and
What about the rain

What about the darkness and
What about the Moon glow
What about the light and
What about the shadow

Softly a voice said unto me
Take my hand, give me your heart
I’ll be right here beside you and
Carry you through the hardest part

Drop

       The orchard of Apple trees
Was once the best crop
The branches are bare now
There’s no Apples to pick or drop

Outside my window I see a Butterfly
In a flutter ballet and a Rabbit hop
In my emptiness is the sound of silence
You can hear a pin drop

There’s a pain so unbearable
My heart is breaking, no signs it will stop
In my overwhelming weakness
To my knees I am forced to drop

My mind is in chaos and in a
Whirlwind I am spinning like a top
The clouds have turned grey
The rain started to drop

My uncle Dean has passed away
I have seized in function I’ve closed shop
From my eyes uncontrollably
My tears begin to Drop

Free

    I live in America and even with all of its
Problems there’s no where else I’d rather be
It’s one place in the world that’s known
As the land of the brave and free

The following words to all may be controversial but it’s my decree
Jesus is the answer and the only way
If you truly wish to be free

Jesus is the new covenant,he eliminates the
Temptation of the forbidden fruit tree
Jesus takes the chains that bind us in
The ******* of laws and breaks us free

His sacrifice makes the laws of the ten
Commandments just useless debris
Did I just type these words, am I insane
What do I know about being free

Does this mean that I can **** and steal
And commit sins like adultery
Am I now a Neanderthal running in
The wild crazy naked and free

Absolutely not and just the opposite, so
I know if I were to fall upon a scree
Believing in Jesus takes away my fear
Of my failure and it sets me free

My imperfections I know that I will always have and my value is like that of a bawbee
But Jesus love’s me unconditionally and
That knowledge truly sets me free

I don’t need the laws that show me the sins
I’m not to commit because I have the key
I believe in Jesus and that he died to give
It to me to open the lock and get free

I don’t have the temptation of a child
To sneak in the night to get the cookies
I don’t know how much more simple I can
Make it so you can understand being free

The laws tell us what we shouldn’t do but
They also tempt us I’m sure you agree
You know right from wrong but with the
Laws one cannot truly be free

The old covenant was the laws and it once
Had purpose but God could see
No matter how hard we tried to abide
We would fail and couldn’t be free

So he sent us Jesus as our savior and I
Wish I could put it in lights on a Marquee
His love is for all of mankind and it’s
Strong enough to set us all free

The Last Exodus

       Modern man has had his reign
Annihilation is ultimately inevitable
Lawlessness has taken up domain
The message of Jesus is undeliverable

The people live in denial and un excepting
Of the gift of their blessedness
They live carefree and without Consequences indulging in their decadence

With a lack of acknowledgement comes
A life that’s connectionless
And without a Devine intervention
We become a society that’s directionless

The choice is of our free will and we’re so
Accepting of all of the behavior indecorous
And our time is running out and we must
Rediscover that which is precedence

It’s time to put the Creator our Lord
Jesus first again and know his excellence
If we wish our souls to be received in
Heaven upon the time of The Last Exodus

Internal Combustion

    No need to worry about WW3
Or about an Asteroid from Space
Or being swallowed by the Sea
Or the invasion of an Alien Race

Don’t worry about a biblical flood or fire
Though Jesus will return
Humans have lost their hearts and desire
History lessons they didn’t learn

Loved ones turning on each other
Because of Political divide
Father Son, Mother daughter, sister brother
Separating as they choose a side

Born to love, innocent child
Grow up to hate as an adult
The world is in chaos Neanderthal wild
Be aware of the blind assault

Heartless no remorse in killing
Get in line behind the Antrustion
So easily and so willing
Disaster comes with Internal Combustion

Do You Still Remember Me

    I can remember the days when
When physically you were mine
I can remember your love
Still within the realm of space and time

I can remember when you held me
When I was just your child in tears
I miss you more now it seems
With the passing of the years

If I close my eyes, I can see you clearly
With your fading smile and your sad eyes
I wish I could hold you once again
And like a song over and over I’d reprise

Not a day goes by without you
And I wonder if you look down on me
Can you tell me Angel
Am I just a faded memory

Does time stand still, does your mind
Still think and your eyes still see
Can you tell me Angel
Do you still remember me

YOUR IDIOCY

      I’m gonna take a moment here
Of my own personal time
To write a quick little PSA
In a special little rhyme

Now I know the title is crude but
Sometimes crude has its place
So this is why I have to send this
Message like I’m in your face

Most of you out there do what’s right
And with driving etiquette you comply
So disregard this for when it
Comes to you this does not apply

When driving we use our lights
At Dusk and at Dawn
And definitely in the dead of night
And when our wipers are on

Your lights are not necessarily
So that you can see to drive
But most importantly they are
So others see you and stay alive

So I hope you learned something
From these words of my poetry
It’s really my biggest pet peeve
The world is tired of YOUR IDIOCY

Mr Make Believe

   Sometimes I can’t help myself
I just wanna be more than I am
Living this normal life can really be
A drag, like it’s one big scam

Sometimes I wish I was a rock star
With girls galore and money to burn
But I’m not gonna make a deal with the
Devil, that’s something I spurn

If I could be a super hero, how cool
Would it be, imagine the possibilities
But I’m thinking that might be too
Much for me, think of the responsibilities

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a Genie
In a bottle, granting me three wishes
Instantly I could have anything I desire
But that might be super suspicious

So if just for the day, like a magician
With a trick up my sleeve
I’ll just close my eyes and put
My Faith in Mr Make Believe

A Walk In The Rain

      Last night I had a dream,
I was living in complete tranquility
When I opened my eyes,
I found myself in my own reality

A born sinner living on a planet named
Earth somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy
Feeling like a rogue satellite
Lost in the outer limit of my apogee

Stepping outside to a day without Sun
The sky is different shades of grey
As I walk it begins to rain and
My thoughts just go astray

So I’m walking in the rain without focus
Wishing for a parting sky
As sadness overwhelms me
I have to fight back tears from my eyes

Lost in my emotions, God sends a warning
Touch of his love to help ease my pain
And I felt so good inside and I realized
That it’s good to take a walk in the rain

Burning Tongue

     I Don’t know the Answers
To all the questions why
Guess they’ll never be known
Until the day I die

Why did you let alcohol change you
Why did you surrender
They told me once a long time ago
Your heart was loving and tender

But the Demon living inside of you
Was something you couldn’t contain
I lived in fear of your presence and
Your words of steel only caused me pain

I survived the physical abuse
And the nightmares have faded
Darkness no longer surrounds me but
I guess I’ll always feel betrayed and jaded

Jesus saved me from Hell but I will
Never forget the words you so easily flung
Or your red Devil eyes as those words
Were rolling off of your Burning Tongue

He Loves Her Still

       He Loves her heart and soul
But she’s beautifully broken
He tells her he loves her but his words
Are like they’ve never been spoken

In her eyes he can see a battle raging
He has to turn from the violence
But he understands it’s the reason
For her frequent scripted silence

He tries to show her his love is true
His actions have an honest charm
He desperately tries to assure her
His love would never cause her any harm

Her wounds have left a scar
Penetrated long and deep
She closes her door and he
Is left to listen while she weeps

He wasn’t the reason for her pain
Or why she’s mentally ill
Any other man would just walk away
But in his heart He Loves Her Still

Away From The Lights

  I live in the City,life is lived
In a whirlwind, a quickened pace
I’ve never felt like this was the life
For me, no I feel so out of place

But it’s been this way for all my life
And I’ve learned to adapt
But there’s always been a yearning
For a simpler way, to be untapped

A slowed down way of things with
A porch and a lemonade or tea
A place where the Rooster crows and
Stars fill the sky like the water of the sea

Away from the sirens and crowded streets
Away from the concrete highways
Away from the skyscrapers and malls
Away from the this mental craze

Away from the life of the fast lane
And all of the City sights
Just once I want a life of peace
Somewhere far away from the lights

   The desert is long, the desert is wide
The Sun is hot, the Sun is high
The Tarantula and the Scorpions creep
The Buzzard and the Eagle and the Falcon fly
The Canyon is large, the Canyon is deep
The Cactus and the Joshua tree grow
The Tumble **** rolls and spirits call
The night is cold, the night is long
The Moon is bright, the River winds
The Rattle Snake and the Coral Snake live
And the Mountain Lion Stalks
The Shadows play tricks
And Men lose their minds
The Wind blows, the Wind howls
The colors are like the Rainbow
The time stands still.

Chaos and confusion are norm,as

Those whom never accepted
Thy gift of thy Christ
Whom never had faith nor
Could comprehend

Will see his wonder and know
In death be unforgiven
And each heart like wood

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

WAR

    It’s the saddest of all
When humans **** each other
And even sadder yet when it’s
Called civil and brother is killing brother

There’s nothing civil about it
We know it’s the Devil at work in his play
As he’s laughing with great joy
As thousands die each day

You see it in all types of wars
Like between the police and the thugs
The good verses the evil
And this includes the war on drugs

And there’s domestic war
When two people forget their love
As a riff comes in between them
And a push comes to a shove

And last but not least as two friends
Have a problem that they can’t solve
It boggles the mind and makes me wonder
How did this happen how did it evolve

A friend is someone you regard with
Affection and someone you trust
But as quick as the blink of an eye
A friendship can turn to rust

And one side is thrown for a loop
As they’re hit with a surprise attack
Blindsided and viciously over taken
By the other one stabbing them in the back

And just weeks before you were asked
For your love and support and prayer
And you were there for them and that
Same person becomes your slayer

As a follower of Jesus I was taught
Even if my heart had been riven
That I am to accept it and to have
The strength to say all is forgiven

And with my teaching I will and I do
With my heart but in my brain I’ll define
And this will be remembered as the moment
Trust was lost as you chose to cross the line

I just wanted to know what was wrong
Not knowing what you were fighting for
You said not to worry everything is cool
And your next action was declaring WAR

Babies & Love

  Yellow Roses and Butterflies
Ice Cream and babies & Love
These are the simple things
She held dear, along with the Lord above

She had a beautiful smile
And we could make her laugh until she peed
She would laugh so hard
And be unaware of the liquid she freed

She had a heart of gold
No one can deny
Sometimes I scream to Heaven
I cry, why, why, why

But the world keeps turning
And we all know the drill
We all have to keep on living
And understand that it’s God’s will

So now I cherish the simple things
She held so dear, along with the Lord above
Like yellow Roses and Butterflies,
Ice Cream and babies & Love

For you here at Hello Poetry
I wrote this about my Mother after
She passed away.
I miss her every day!!!
God Bless anyone who has lost a loved one

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

Everlasting Butterflies

    There’s a story of love in my
Poetry I’ll try to summarize
It happens to be all of the Cliches
The weak knees and Butterflies

Love at first sight, I know it’s corny
But I tell you no lies
It’s like a fairy tail complete with
Unicorns, Rainbows and those Butterflies

When it’s true love, it’s hard to explain
Every time I look into her eyes
I get so lost and I’m speechless and
You guessed it those Butterflies

There’s Nothing even the best poets
Could write any words of surprise
Because love is a feeling deep inside
Perfectly described as Butterflies

The fluttering of the wings inside the
Stomach cannot be explained otherwise
You know you’re falling as you get dizzy
And weak in the knees and those Butterflies

It’s a feeling so strong that nothing
Can destroy and it never dies
Married for forty one years, yes still
Those Everlasting Butterflies

Like Leaves Turn To The Rain

     Life takes us on a journey
Like being on a run away train
There’s things that happen along
The way that we just can’t explain

So trying to put this into words would be
Like crossing into unfamiliar terrain
When I think of all the scenarios
It’s something that boggles my brain

We can’t see the future and write it
Down like Nostradamus in a quatrain
And when it comes to knowledge or the
Science it’s really not my Domain

So when it comes to our love, what
Description can I use to make it pertain
To take something of complications
And make it simple or plain

It comes down to just another one of God’s
Miracles like blood runs through a vein
And it comes to me so easily and natural
Like leaves turn to the rain

I Will Re Evaluate
          My Own Intelligence

   It is the year twenty, twenty
We have come a long way right
So our intelligence should be high IQ
Our future well and bright

This was my thought as I go about
My every day simple task
But I look and see intelligence must
Be blocked by some type of casque

The brain of modern mankind
Has not advanced as it was perceived
Intelligence is far from reach
And is going un received

A media panic was put upon our nation
And for whatever reason everyone needed TP
Some one please help me, for now I feel
As if it’s fifty billion BC

What is the connection between the
Coronavirus and this
Was there a memo or warning of
Some kind, what did I miss

Are we a people of caveman brains
I really thought we were smarter
If we are, I guess everyone’s brain
Just left town on a charter

But the reality is, no we haven’t advanced
At all and so now with great diligence
Because I was wrong About us humans
I will re evaluate my own intelligence

Voice’s

      I sometimes hear the echo
Of his voice so heartless
It never failed to be mentioned
He always told me I’m worthless

Yes sometimes I still hear their voices
So cruel the bullies inflicted so quick
So I just became a loner
I Never belonged in any click

And let’s not forget to mention
The voice in my head
Telling me that I would be
Much better off dead

But weaving in and out of those
Voice’s was one so soft but strong
Telling me that all the other voices
Were simply just wrong

That voice was the voice of Jesus
Whispering ignore all other noises
I give my thanks to thee
Because I didn’t listen to the voice’s

Judgment Day Is Coming

     You think you are a sly one
Yes it seems you’re in the clear
But now you’ll always be looking over
Your shoulder in constant moments of fear

Your manipulation skills are grand
But this was like taking candy from a baby
You took advantage of your own parents
You’re such a classy lady

I know that you convinced them that your
Advice was sound and right
You presented everything in their best
Interest your plan was solid and tight

They were elderly and you circled like
A buzzard waiting for them to die
It wouldn’t surprise me if you murdered
Your father, when you called you didn’t cry

Sixty four thousand at least and a possible
******, Are you tossin and turnin at night
Or are you so smug and uncaring that your
Conscience is clear, you just turn out the light

You made sure the documents were signed
So everything went to you without suspicion
And now the ***** deeds are done
Your tricks were as smooth as a magician

I wonder as you smile with your arrogance
Can you hear the bag pipes humming
Earthly death will arrive some day lady
Judgment day is coming

This is a real life situation of family
Medicaid Fraud —$64,000 Thousand Dollars worth That we know of
Plus a possible ******
Main suspect is one of the Daughters of
My Father in law on my Wife’s side,
The man my wife’s mother married
This is under investigation.

Christmas Peace

    As I sit here on my couch, I have a
Cup of hot chocolate in my hand
Thoughts in my mind, there’s things
I ponder and things I’ll never understand

All of the lights are out and I have switched
On the Christmas tree and window display
And I’m letting myself get lost in the silence
Of the night and in a dream I slipped away

I’m overwhelmed with a feeling of love
And I’m surrounded by beauty everywhere
As my mind begins to process it all I think of
Heaven and if I could be there

Everything is so real and it shakes me
As I begin to hear one single Angel singer
I begin to wake up to the Christmas tree
Flicker as my dream continues to linger

I wish my dream could be my reality
I pray for hate and violence to cease
I wish the world was Heavenly beautiful
And every day was like my Christmas Peace

Dawn Of Fire

     Since the beginning of time
We’ve known that our time will end
In the final days the people will beg
For more but none will he lend

For the saved there’s no worry
Only the unsaved are taking the risk
Maybe they think that time can be
Saved on a USB or a re writeable disk

Time it ticks away quickly and soon
There’ll be a darkness of eternal night
The people will choke on the smoke
And feel the heat of the fires light

This is the world’s doom, we can’t change it
But one can change their fate
It’s up to each individual and I pray
If you haven’t please do before it’s too late

If you don’t believe, that’s fine but In a
Vision I saw the flames were getting higher
For it is told this is the age of the beginning
Of the end and we’re living in the dawn of fire

The Way Of The City

     Dog eat dog it’s violence It’s chaos
It’s tears in the rain
The night never sleeps and the day
It only brings pain

Do unto you as done unto me
Come face to face with the realization
It’s nothing but a game
A pawn for a pawn in retaliation

Shots fired and a man is down, then
Innocence get caught in the line of fire
Nothing good comes from the madness
When Guns and drugs are the desire

When hate and anger is the Devil’s pleasure
It’s the reason for his endless reign
It’s the endless cycle of life and death
So senseless and so insane

God have mercy I pray, when I see it
I become overwhelmed with pity
It’s hard to just shake it off but
That’s just The Way Of The City

Change

   Like a clock on the wall changes time
Like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly
Like night turns to day, everything
Changes, sometimes in the blink of an eye

Everything used to be cut and dry
Boy or girl and right or wrong
But now it’s all so confusing
Like trying to learn to play Mahjong

I’m not here to judge or condemn
That is for the fool
It’s just that I’m of a different time
And all I know is old school

In my mind a woman is a woman
And she dresses appropriately
And a man is a man and when they
Are together the difference is plain to see

So forgive me me if I smirk
And if I find it odd and strange
I’m not trying to be mean and cruel
It’s just difficult to accept the change

The Power Of The Cross

    
    The world can hit me again and again
It can hit me with everything its got
The Devil can burn me with his fire
With a fire of the hottest of hot

He can put me in the center of the
Darkness of a permanent night
And I will focus on Jesus and I will
To my faith hold on tight

It’s a different world now
In more ways than one
Some say the end is near
Soon we’ll all be gone

I’m just a man trying to survive
As this old world spins
When everyone thinks it’s a competition
I’ve got news, nobody wins

You can have this world and your greed
Go ahead and focus on your profit and loss
I’ll just sit back and relax and I’ll focus
On my Faith and the power of the cross

The Hurting Lingers

    Above any thoughts of infidelity
Our love I thought was strong
But in your eyes I see your quilt
And I realize that I was wrong

You threw it away like it was trash
A bond that never should have fallen apart
But carelessly and thoughtlessly
You had no regard for my fragile heart

Why is love so hard to find yet so easy to
Lose and cause so much pain
Love’s bliss lives in the warmth Of Sunshine
Yet the heartache lives in the rain

As the tears fall from my eyes
I see the promise of love turn to rust
This heart of mine bleeds and in
Love never again will it trust

Forever when I reminisce I’ll see
Love as it slips through my fingers
Forced to live with a broken heart
As The Hurting Lingers

Back To The Beginning Of The End

  It’s all clear to me now
But I didn’t see it then
How my world was falling apart
And I was losing more than just a friend

I set out on the road, in search
For something that was already mine
I was sure it was just over the horizon
But with each day I could see that I was blind

Further and further, I moved on
And all the fault was my own
I thought that there was something better
But all that it left me was alone

How can a man do what I did
And dream of lust and fantasy
When everything he ever wanted
Was already his reality

How could I throw it all away
Without blinking an eye
Now I have to live with this regret
Until the day that I die

Thinking about it, Brings nothing but pain
And memories of the past
If I could turn back the hands of time
Then I would be back home at last

But now I live each day and I
Punish myself for my crime
I’ll spend the rest of my life wishing
That I could turn back the hands of time

Back to the beginning of the end
That is where I wish I could be
Back to the beginning of the end
When I thought I just needed to be free

Back to the beginning of the end
Just before our last goodbye
Back to the beginning of the end
Just before I made you cry

Yes right before I made my worst mistake
For now my life is in a state of suspend
And the reality is knowing that I can never
Go back to the beginning of the end

Away From The Lights

  I live in the City,life is lived
In a whirlwind, a quickened pace
I’ve never felt like this was the life
For me, no I feel so out of place

But it’s been this way for all my life
And I’ve learned to adapt
But there’s always been a yearning
For a simpler way, to be untapped

A slowed down way of things with
A porch and a lemonade or tea
A place where the Rooster crows and
Stars fill the sky like the water of the sea

Away from the sirens and crowded streets
Away from the concrete highways
Away from the skyscrapers and malls
Away from the this mental craze

Away from the life of the fast lane
And all of the City sights
I just once want a life of peace
Somewhere far away from the lights

A Whisper In The Wind

Sitting on my deck as night begins to fall
Thinking of a time I thought would never end
And in a sense it still exist
For now it’s a whisper in the wind

A monsters attack in the middle of the night
A child in fear unable to defend
Without warning it sometimes returns
For now it’s a whisper in the wind

A beautiful girl, young loves first kiss
Time separated, love letters I didn’t send
Hope she can still read them
As they are now a whisper in the wind

The sounds of us as children at play
And the promise of a forever friend
Though long ago it’s not forgotten
But now it’s just a whisper in the wind

A mother’s love, and watching her die
Her last breath, her soul ascend
She’s still with me, her love is a comfort
Now as a whisper in the wind

Time has flown so quickly
And it’s hard for me to comprehend
All the faces and voices still echo as
Everything still lives as a whisper in the wind
