---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ---- Peel away the rotten apples that I sneezed out from my eyes They will never be forgotten, but their infected by all those worms inside The core was once the center of life, but now it has grown soft As this baby has grown older and is no longer cute at all Their skin is misbehaving and they leave an old fermenting smell All the secrets they've been keeping I wonder what they would tell As I dwell upon these memories, but there aren't any facts Only counter intuitive directions mislead by simple acts This apple is for my daughters and this one is for my friends These are from my childhood memories, the ones I hoped would never end And these are for my family here is my dear old mom and dad I am still wishing for those moments, but they are never coming back Now I sail away into oblivion, because there is nothing left inside Just a little boy who loved to dream, but that part of me has also died

Whats the secret to brilliance my friend. You always strike a chord with you depths and skillful use of words. Indeed it was an absolute pleasure to read tonight my friend.
Ive learned from the best my friend no need to be modest at all OB1, but truly I thank you for all your support. Oh and BTW next time just get some KFC the work is already done
Thank you Mr Ken, yea Nothing I write is ever pre thought of or premeditated I never know where Im going to end up when I write something. Im normally the kind who just grabs a pen or types once something arises or inspires me to do so and where ever my heart may take me is where I am. Thank you always for your time and thoughts always…Jesse
