My daughter

Blue eyes smile up at me
your laughter I love to here
Little hands wrapped around my kneck
Fishy faces made as kisses
bright red hair flashing in the sun
A love I'll always have
concieved in pain
carried in fear
Something I'll never regret
my life, my love, my hope

Right Here

I'm a city boy looking for a country girl
But I've searched all over the world
Who would have thought you were right here
When I thought I had looked everywhere

You never know what you have until it's gone
I was lucky I never waited that long
I never realized how much you meant to me
Until you were about to leave the country

I drove to the airport to convince you to stay
You had gone so far there seemed to be no way
I grabbed your arm to stop you from going through
I kissed your lips and I told you I loved you

You stood in silence and waited a while
When you turned around you had a huge smile
The words you've waited for finally came
Gazing into my eyes you told me you felt the same

I had traveled all around the world
Looking for that one special girl
All of them seemed so wrong
But you were right here.. all along

Internet love

Here we are mile away
Our hearts pounding which way do we sway
Two lonley souls looking for a mate

Can we fall in love sight unseen
Whos to know you or me
This is a risk for i know
I am totally out of my confort zone

The blocks come down the wall are shattered
Its time to take that step of faith
Where would you lead me
What roads do i follow

I only ask is that you give me know sorrow

My Marriage

To be or not to be
that is the question
or so they tell me
what does it mean to be
the ability to hurt
the ability to inflict pain on others
does this mean you have the right to do as you please
to try and kill your child
kill your child another carries
to tear apart all that is real
all that is sacred to another
is this what it means to be?
you were
to me you are no more
in your version of to be
I choose not........

Loves Wish

Sharing love and happiness
meant everything to me.
The times I needed someone most
was when you come to me.

You shared with me you dreams, your hopes.
You opened up your heart.
But distance was our enemy
From the very start.

Thoughts of you were always
In my wishes and my dreams.
But overcoming all the hardship
Isn't as easy as it seems.

Just wishing you were with me
was my favorite thing to do.
The miles seemed to fade away
But just wishing never helped us too.

I hope that life will give to you
The best things that it can.
Life is what you make it
every hope, dream and plan.

Love to me is special
Your special to me too.
Promise me you won't forget
I'll love you forever true.

"Goodbye"


A big pile of dirt
He plays with his cars
Buries them deep
A little too far

Mama and daddy sitting talking
Been so long
Mama is usually gone
He knows something’s wrong

Divorce is the subject
Their voice filled with hurt
And tears behind eyes
Their love buried in the dirt

They play with their son
He is too young to know
That mama and daddy are splitting
Their love no longer grows

Only been three days
Since mama walked out
Not a single word spoken
No letters, words, or shouts

He laughs with such happiness
Excitement in his eyes
Seeing his parents together
Doesn’t know they’re saying good-bye

A few more minutes
Of mama and daddy being together
And this is his last family moment
That he’ll remember ever

Dedicated to my son.



"Infinite Love"


Softly you touch
Ever so peaceful
Can’t even tell
You touch so soulful

Touching my heart
With invisible fingers
Placing love deeply
Forever it lingers

Painting my heart
Different colors
Taking away pity
That I swallow

Doubt removed
Trust replaced
Growing love felt
With no disgrace

Love your heart
Pure and true
Never felt this
I’ve never knew

Love so innocent
Pure love in eyes
My eyes love you
Never could they despise

Love of child
Heart so mild
Loving me
My heart once wild

Child of mine
Son of father
My love for you
Deeper than water

Growing deeper
Universal plane
Expanding more
Just can’t explain

Love so blind
A non-parent couldn’t see
My love for you
And yours for me

"Burned by Fire"

I felt the fire
The heat so hot
It burned when you kissed
So I took another shot

The flame got higher
My temperature rose
Felt it burning
All the way in my toes

Your hand held mine
Felt like a coal
A burning ember
Out of control

Upon my chest
You did place
Your fire within
Made my heart race

A slow deep kiss
Inside I’m burning
To lose all control
Hormones are yearning

Never been this heated
My body shaking
I long for more
This pressure is quaking

Animal thoughts
And primitive actions
Bodies naked
The coming attraction

Lust or love
Which am I feeling
My mind is lost
Dang this is thrilling

Lost in time
Eternal pleasure
These moments of desire
Oh what a treasure

Bodies burning
Frenzied and contorted
Lost in time
My mind is distorted

Intense actions
Filled with fury
Passion so hot
The mind is blurry

An act complete
Still burning from flames
The desire burns deep
Feelings can’t be tamed

Close eyes once more
Her kisses have fire
Her hands of flame
I’m filled with desire

“Waiting to catch you”

Tell me your dreams
We’ll build them together
Please take my hand
And we’ll walk forever

You are my rose
I love you thorns and all
And baby I’ll be there
Every time you call

Your love the sweetest fragrance
My soul has inhaled
You’ve cast out my loneliness
Hurt you have expelled

Maybe I’m just hoping
I’ll break down love’s wall
And I’ll be there to catch you
When in love you fall

TEXAS

my dreams shattered
in little pieces they lay at my feet
i pick up the shards
blood drips from my fingertips
staining red upon the snow
before me is an open door
I see the shine flash brightly
glinting off my icy walkway
i feel no warmth
i feel you watch me from afar
i see your shadow by my stream
in dreams you come to me
you beckon me to leave my icy castle
my faceless stranger
you promise me warmth
you promise me saftey
i'm afraid to hurt again
for in my icy castle
i may be cold
i may be alone
i am safe
i long for you
should I stay or should I go
your relentless
you call to me over and over again
you invade my dreams, my waking moments
from you I cannot escape
I don't want to
still I do not heed
you come to me
your heat your warmth
you bring to me
you melt my icy home
i am left exposed, yearning afraid
you warm me with your fire
you cover my soul with your honesty
you silent my fears with your gift of love
my icy castle is no more
my dreams now a new tapestry
repaired from threads of yours
entwined we are
united we be
fire and ice
forever free

Hangin

Quiet and simple, talks to no one.
Walks the dark halls at midnight.
Trys to find the perfect spot.
Hangs himself from the stairs.
No one know who he was.

I Am

I am Dark and Different
I wonder when the darkness will end
I hear the screams of the dead
I see there blood on my walls
I want to stay in the dark
I am dark and different
I pretend to care
I feel like ashes blowing in the wind
I touch the blood to feel the death
I worry when I will see the light
I am dark and different
I understand that everyone dies
I say death is better than life
I dream about my end
I try to see life through
I hope to die a painful death
I am dark and different
