You are the light in my darkest times
Guiding my heart and soul with your love
You are strength when I am weak
Helping me move forward
When life seems to hard
You are the river of life
That quenches my thirst
When I am dry
You are my food
Your love fills me up and re-energizes my soul
When I am at my lowest
Just the thought of you
Brings me from the pit
When I feel lost
You find me and bring me back
I could hug you forever
Just to hold you in a warm embrace
Squeezing you tight
Making l you problems run away
I could hold you forever
Just letting time slip away
While we hold each other tight
Letting our cates go away
First Man at the bar: Tony I challenge you to a game of shots.
Second man at the bar: Sorry sir, I don't do drinking games any more.
First Man at the bar: Why, you chicken?
Second man at the bar: No sir, you're still young, so you may not understand. But there is a madness to it. A lunatic wide-eyed craziness that overtakes your mind, heart and soul, A bottomless pit hollowness that can never be filled. So you keep playing, letting the madness control you, letting the desire to out drink everyone consume you. You fall, and fall, deeper and deeper into a hell that spins out of control. You loose everything in the downfall. That sir is why I don't play those drinking games anymore
I buried you beneath the snow
Though only 9 years old
My daughter
My princess
After your mom left us with that other man
You were all I had left
Tears run down my face
As I put you in your final resting place
Beneath the elm tree with the tire swing
You'd play on all summer long
After your mom left
I started to date
Put you were the one I'd listen to
When I wanted to see how they rate
Only the best could help raise you
And you helped me keep that true
A new mom
You will never see
For at 9 I now bury thee
Cancer was to much for you to bare
May God take your soul
And guide it home
I hope to see you again when I get there
Daddy no, don't touch me there
The liitle girl of five years old cries out
His daughter
His own flesh and blood
He slaps her everytime she tries to fight back
He puts his thing inside her again and agaim
grinning with every scream that pours from her
Black and blue the bruises get worse
As blood flows from her nose
A lot for one to endure
when you're only five years old
No mommy, don't touch me there
The little boy of five years old ctres out
Her son
Her own flesh and blood
The boy is slapped everytime he tries to fight back
She touches his thing again and again
Grinning with every scream that pours from his mouth
Black and blue the bruises get worse
blood flows from his nose
a lot to endure
when you're only five years old
Friday night
Race night
Time to get in gear
Put your game face on
Show them you have no fear
The engine roar
The crowd cheers
The energy is your thrust
That flag drops
Watch the flying dust
Put the tailgate up and the hammer down
Drive it as fast as it will go
Gotta win this race
Gotta take that trophy home
Put the tailgate up and the hammer down
Leave the rest in the dust
Zooming at fast speeds
Feeling all that thrust
I die everyday
Through my poetry
My words spill onto the screen
Like blood from my own veins
And they keep flowing until my veins run dry
And this body flops onto the desk
But with the last word said
This dead body awakes
To carry on another day
When I die
I want to be sure and go to Heaven
I've been told Jesus is the way
I want to be a Christian
So many denominations
So many choices
They all say the speak the truth
So
Whose version of the truth is correct
I want to get to Heaven
So I must pick wisely
So
Which one.
Which path to fallow
And of that wasn't enough of a choice to make
Look at all these Bible interpretation.
So many of those to choose from
They all say the same thing
Just in different ways
So
Which do I go with
Which is correct
Look out outlaws of the fridge, there's a mew law in town. The "Lone Cucumber" rides with his faithful companion "Tomato" . Together they ride, finding spoiled food to bring to justice. "Hi-ho celerystalk away"
To pizza or not to pizza. That is the question. Rather it is nobler to face the intestinal gas and bloating, for the tasty goodness. Or to play if safe and eat something else
Your skin as soft as silk
Your breath as sweet as a rose
Your eyes dark and knowing
A window into your soul
Double
Double
Fudgey bubbles
Fires burn
Milk begins to bubble
Time has come to pour in the mix
Now to get our chocolate fix
Tongue lashing
Tongue bashing
Time and time again
Over and over
Lashing and bash my
Skin, heart, and soul
I am not good enough
I am not good enough
I am not good enough
That's all I ever hear from you
You rip and tear
Your poor child apart
To bad you don't realize
What your doing to my heart
Stand up for what you believe in
Stand up and sound the call
Raise your voice
Let it be heard
The world tries to shut you up
The world tries to dumb you down
Stand tall
Stand strong
Don't let the world push you around
Speak out against injustice
Speak out against the tyranny
Speak for those who cannot
Raise your voice
Raise it high
Don't ever let it be denied
I could hug you for all eternity
Just to hold you close
So you never feel alone
I could hug you for all eternity
To take away the pain
So you wouldn't go insane
I know the world can be tough now and then
I am hear to help when I can.
The world is dark
Let's shine some light
Together we can make it right
I could hug you for all eternity
To never let you go
To never be lost in the shadows
To know the light of kindness once more
I could hug you for all eternity
Your gentle touch
Lighting the darkness within me
I know the world can be tough now and then
I am hear to help when I can.
The world is dark
Let's shine some light
Together we can make it right
How do I make you see
how much I live you
How do I make you see
how much I care
I can't
I can only reveal to you
What is in my heart
You must make the choice from there
I can't make it for you
My heart beats with the love I have for you
Every second
Every minute
Every hour
You are on my mind and thoughts
The rythm of my life is set to you
When I wake in the morning
When I go through my day
When I go to bed at night
You are there
Always at the front of my mind
Never to be lost
Never to be lost
I have laid out my heart to you.
I have laid out my soul
The choice is now yours
To be mine
Or to let me go
That choice is yours to make
I can't make it for you
I am a traveler of the world
A drifter
Aimless wonderer
Homeless
I have been called all these
I have also been called much worse
I am not homeless
The world is my home
I travel from town to town
Helping out where I can
Taking odd jobs
Some people stay away
Keeping their distance from me
But
I make friends everywhere I go
I always have a story to tell
Stories about my journey
Sometimes I thrill people with stories about
Magical lands
Science fiction
Or whatever type of tell they wish to hear
When my time is up
And my work done in that town
I pack up and move on
Onward to another adventure
Onward to where I am needed
Truly
I am not homeless
The world is my home
While taking a nap yesterday afternoon. I had a day dream. I had just finished fixing lunch ( a simple ham sandwich and chips) when the crew from Food Network's "Dinners, Drive-ins, and Dives" bursts through my front door and sets up their cameras. Guy walks up to me and we start talking about my lunch. After a few minutes Guy picks up my lunch ( plate and all) and leaves my house. The camera crew packs up and leaves as well. I am left standing at the table with no lunch and the only thought in my mind is " What the hell was that?"
I had a dream last night. I was on the Food Network show "Chopped" but instead of food in the baskets. There were phrases, and words. Each contestant was then given 30 minutes to write a poem using what they found in their baskets. After 30 minutes each contestant presented what they wrote. One would be eliminated. This would go on until their would be just one contestant left. Thus making them the winner.
I am patriotic
But I won't throw it in your face
Demanding you believe what I believe
Waving my small American flag
Shouting at the top of my voice
Denouncing everyone who disagrees with me
I am patriotic
I respect all people
All nationalities
All opinions
I am patriotic
But I realize there is more to this country than just Americans
Everyone nation with ideas
Every people with unique flavors and styles
Yes, I am patriotic
May dad
Both my Grandfathers
Several uncles, and cousins
Have all served in the military
Some still serving
I stand with them as I always have
As I always will
Yes, I am Patriotic
But this country is very diverse
I respect everyone
I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna sing
I'm gonna lift up your holy name
You have saved me
From death and the grave
Jesus my Lord
Poetry is my way to express myself
My pain
My tears
My joy
My laughter
Poetry is my emotional outlet
Poetry is my way to express myself
My opinion on society and social issues
My opinion on the Government
Poetry is my way to express myself
To bring awareness to
Domestic violence
The poor and needy
Drug addiction
PTSD
Poetry is my way to express myself
Poetry is my life
I may say I'm OK
Bit in truth
I am dying inside
I may say I'm OK
But in truth
I am lost and afraid
Just because I say I'm OK
Doesn't mean that I am
I may not have words to describe my true feelings
I may say I'm OK
That I feel on top of the world
But in truth
Be falling into an emotional pit
I may say I'm OK
That I'm the strongest I've ever been
But in truth
Be emotionally weak and scared
Just because I say I'm OK
Doesn't mean that I am
I may not have words to describe my true feelings
I love this bar
The music
The people
Put a smile on my face
Never leave hungry
The food is great
The drinks are better
Than at any other place
The staff is friendly
And serve you with care
You're just a part of the family
Each time you go there
A pool table in back
A dartboard to
Always something being added
So you'll always have something to do
Sit at the bar
Drink
Eat
Laugh
And have a good time
Or
Sit in one of the booths
That will be fine
I love this bar
It never closes
Open 24/7
365 days a year
From the day we met
Until our wedding day
Each and every moment
You take my breath away
Now upon this day
We stand hand in hand
In front of friends and family
Exchanging vows
Started our lives on a new path
Together we will journey
Life's road together
Rejoicing at Life's joy
Drawing strength from each other
In Life's pain an trials
Together we stand
Hand in hand
Heart in heart
Life brought us together
May life never tear us apart
Homeless No The world is my home Nomadic life Traveling here and there Never staying in one place to long Meeting new faces Exploring new...
