I Love You

I can say I need you

 I can say I care

 I can say I’ll listen and that I’ll always be there

I can say I want you and that I’ll always be true

but I wish I could just say I love you

I can say you’re beautiful and complement you in every way

I can say without you my life is worthless and beg you to stay

Yes I can say all these things to you

but I wish I could just say I love you

Three little words that’s all they are

but when I’m with you they seem so far

I can recite you a poem to tell you how I feel

I can give you a kiss at the top of a Ferris wheel

 I can do all these things for you,

but why can’t I just say I love you

What Is Real

The prisoner is real and not just those in jail

We are all prisoners of our past, society, and of our own ambitions

 The gunslinger is real not just those of the old west

A gunslinger could be police, fire, rescue, military, or any person who sticks their neck out for the protection of another

 The person in shadows is real

That side of our personality that makes it feel so good to do the wrong thing

What is real

The human condition that is real

Life

As the world keeps spinning round

I let out a lonesome mournful cry

Though I cry loud as can be

I see no one has heard my scream

It hurts me so to think no one cares

For as I look there is no one there

Through the pain and through the hurt

The world has rubbed my face in the dirt

I know it all looks bleak for me

That is just life you see

For my life is a troubled one

So I fight always as I go along

NAKED

Naked

I stand before the world

Laying bare the very foundation that makes up my life

For all the world to see

I hold nothing back

All my scars

Testimonies of life itself

Life lived to the fullest

Scars from surgeries

Scars from wounds

Scars of life

My body is an open book

Of life truly lived

Come read the pages

Come learn the lessons life has taught me

Naked

I stand before the world

My body a testimony of a life well lived

Every cut

Every wound

A page in that great text

Come learn the lessons life has taught me

Come enrich your own live

My life is an open book

Come read the pages

Learn from my knowledge

Prepare yourself for the road ahead

To prepare for the road ahead

Naked

I stand before the world

The emotional dam within me bursts

Water flows from my eyes

As I remember

Loved ones lost

Friendships both good and bad

Relationships gone bad

Missed opportunities

My Amazing Friend

You have a sweet soul,

And a mind so strong,

I love that you never,

Tell me I'm wrong.

You give me advice,

Listen to my fears,

Help me with decisions,

And quiet my tears.

You have been a great friend,

Though you don't know me well,

I trust you, my Darlin,

That my Secrets you won't tell.

You don't judge my mistakes,

And you help me feel normal,

I can tell you anything,

You're my human journal.

I'm glad we started talking,

I love getting to know you,

You're an amazing person,

I hope you know that too.

You're such a special soul,

And I just can't get enough,

You always make me laugh,

Even when life life is rough.

I'm sorry if I bother you,

If I message you too much,

But know that I care for you,

And I love when our hands touch.

You are perfectly, incredibly amazing,

And I say exactly what I mean,

There's not many people like you,

You're every person's dream.

Fishing

Let's go fishing in

The lake and catch a big fish

Let's go fishing in

The lake rod and reel in hand

Have fish for dinner tonight

Sins

The sins of the past

Have caught up at last

To haunt me again

To make my world spin

I am sorry for all I have done

I have fought this battle

Until I have won

As for the sins of my past

I hope they can be destroyed at last

Tree

Tree

Climbing

Up into

The higher limbs

Try to reach the sky

Climbing down tree

Toward the ground

Back on

Earth

It's a picnic

It's a picnic

Hotdogs

Potato salad

Cake

It's a picnic

Blankets on the ground

Frinds and family gatheed round

This day is perfect

I'm glad we desided to dine outside

Boy, all this food looks fine

Not a cloud in the sky

It's a picnic

May joy resound

Fun with family and friends

May love and laughter abound

Blessed (Bible Study)

Luke 6:22-23

Jesus said Count yourself blessed evertime someone throws you out or cuts you down, every time someone smrars or blackens your name to discredit me.  It means that the truth is to close and that person is uncomfortable.  You can be glad when that happen, for even if they don't like it I do.  All heaven applauds.  Know that you are in good company, my preachers and witnesses have all been treated like this

Poetry Is

Poetry is my life

My emotional outlet

So I don't explode

Poetry is a passion

A love of words

A love of life

Poetry is who I am

It flows through my blood

It resounds through my speach

Poetry is the fire of life

That warms the heart

That warms the soul

Poetry is a comfort

In the harsh and dark times

Poetry is light

Poetry is truth

True emotions

True passion

Ice Cream Sundae

Once again

Time to celebrate what matters most

Time to reflect and rejoice

You

Jesus Christ you are my savior

I will always praise your name

You guide me through life's darkness

You help me ease life's pain

You help to warm me in the winter

Of life's bitter chill

You strengthen my weary spirit

To climb life's tallest hill

When The Work Is Done

When the work is done at the end of the day

Time to unwind time to play

Pull out the grill and light it up

Sit on the porch and chat a lot

When the work is done at the end of the day

Let’s go fishing at the lake

Let’s catch a fish of mighty size

Let’s fry it up to hungry eyes

When the work is done at the end of the day

I’ll rejoice in every way

I’ve given it all I had

When the wok is done at the end of the day

Time to enjoy life in every way

Time for games to play

When the work is done at the end of the day

Winter fun

Ice skating on the pond snowball fights sledding downhill

Voices

Voices have come in

From the past

Voices have come to haunt me

Voices from yesterday

Voices from some faces

I can’t even name

Words of discouragement

Words of hatred

Words of evil

Words of dread

When I say I love you

When I say I love you

I mean it with all my

Heart

Soul

Mind

I love you more than my life itself

Soul

The doors of hell have opened

From which come forth the most terrifying thing of all

A glimpse at my own soul

Black and greasy

Sin corrupted

It is not a pretty sight

Blood pours from every opening

Just the sight of it sickens me

For it is my soul

For it is my hell

WITH MY HANDS

With my hands

I have created

I have destroyed

I have built up worlds

I have let those worlds fall

My hands have created worlds

like none ever seen before

Like none that will ever be seen again

Worlds of such purity and joy

Worlds of such comfort

My hands are the  master’s hands

For the master works through me

So all things can be fulfilled

So all things can be set right

So all things can be at peace

Through my hands the master has demonstrated

Love

Compassion

Forgiveness

Joy
