in your face

i can see it all in your face
the slight smile, left side crooked,
a chip off your maxillary central incisor
from that bicycle accident in fifth grade

the couple of grayed lashes over those
deep blue eyes that many brightly regard
striking-looking, with crows feet splayed
like windblown tears of joy, to temples

those pock marks on your forehead from
chicken pox when you were home that hot
Indian Summer for almost a week and
your Mom looked so worried and doted

there's a little blood now in the left
eye's white, probably from long nights
worrying about those that you love, more
than days squinting toward a paycheck

whether through a looking glass darkly
or silvered glass back at you, it's all
there, faces give it away, for a gaze
at all that has been you, up to today

Three

There are no challenges
Where I reside
For deserted by myself
Then this island
Is home
It is where I scream
It is a choice
Of finding myself
It holds no terrors
Or deems to me
That this is fate
And where I belong

I took that choice
For only one
Can abandon themselves
Yet you gave me
The chance to live
By choosing
Things that would
Comfort me
And bring me hope
But I abandoned hope
As one challenge
Far too far

So I must choose
And it is true love
That most glorious
Of depth
And may I find compassion
For a heart
That bears none
Is truly a lost soul
And finally
I choose you
It matters not
Who you are
That like me
You are a soul
That made the choices
Of abandoning
Yourself
For the sake
Of others

keep it simple

Live your dreams
Like there is no tommorrow
Shut off your t.v.
Before you get swallowed

Take a hike with a friend
Leave your computer behind
Take a break from your rut
You'll be surprised what you find

Cherish every moment
Cause you know it wont last
Make that person feel special
Time wont stop..but life goes fast

Don't be afraid to smile
It doesn't cost you a cent
People will notice this
Along with your good intent

Take your special one
And just lie back in the grass
Try and count all the stars
And the ones that shoot past

Keep it simple
It will all come to you
Throw away your haste
How do you feel? brand new!

Never stop dreaming
Make it your inspiration
Treat it like a third arm
Another form of communication

Stay young at heart
Don't let your imagination die
Always keep an open mind
Let them know and don't be shy

My secret to writting is
I'm always outside
Mother nature's my god
Planet earth is my guide!

2010 my year

The agony inside left me despair

Love puff! Disappeared like air

Why I feel this way, I wonder

Love strikes you like a thunder

She loves me, she loves me not

She loves me, she loves me not

A game that my heart plays

Why do fools fall in love, so it says

I wonder who next she will slay

Enough is enough!

2010 is my year

I will be whispered in every ear

My acceleration in life begins with every gear.

Life and Liberty

Life doesn’t really know time
When it’s time to be born
When it’s time to die
Life only knows how to live
When it’s time to thrive
When it’s time to survive
Love never knows when
When it will happen again
When it starts or ends
Love only know happiness
When it’s finally found
When you keep it around
Liberty is not a new idea
When we are free to choose
When we have nothing to lose
Liberty is what sets us free
When you can be you
When I can be me
Freedom will always ring
When you find your voice to sing
When you feel the peace it brings
Freedom is worth fighting for
When it’s time for peace
When it’s time for war
Truth doesn’t always get told
When it’s left in the cold
When it’s outside the fold
Truth only knows its source
When a thought makes it’s course
When gravity is held in force

Life, love, liberty, freedom, and truth
Is all the evidence you need for proof

Dreaming Again

Dreaming of better days and looking forward to better nights.
Times are a bit crazy and it's looking like there is no end in sight.
With comets falling out of the sky. To the near hit of an asteroid
flying by.
It makes me kind of worried at what might be next.
Will a earthquake swallow us up and leave the rest?
Maybe my fear is just fearing the unknown.
You know what they say. One day your here and the next your gone.
In my deepest prayers, if these things do happen like that I don't
want to live it alone.
For we all want that special one in our lives.
From a best friend to a lover , You know that someone who is their
in the bad times and the endless nights.
I don't know where this poem is going or where it will end.
Oh look , there I go dreaming again

His Garden

His Garden

Who around you could be a poet,
What about them makes them show it,
For there is nothing to let you know it,
If you have it,you can not bestow it.

It's in their heart where poems grow,
And will oft' blossom before you know,
Giving a smile where your face will glow,
Or perhaps a tear when feeling low.

Their heart is where this garden grows,
Where truth and virtue often shows,
For here are the seeds that God sows;
We merely type the words He bestows

Remember me as I have of you (dedicated to free hand)

Remember me as I have of you,
You have gone so far to find,
Love that was fleeing so soon,
running as fast away from you.

That's which you think you've lost,
Your lover gone hiding in the woods,
Your wings once felt my masculine touch,
my words that have stolen your heart!

Framed soft gleeful smile,
Kiss me and break the spell,
Loneliness in an empty well,
It's time for you to kiss and tell.

Goodbyes are difficult farewells,
But not from a place from hell,
Escaped from the trap you fell,
It's time for us to meet and greet Hello

I slept and dreamt

I slept and dreamt
That life was a joy
I awoke and saw
That life was service,
Iaded and behold
Service was joy.

He who wants to
Do good knocks at
The gate,
He who loves finds
The gate open.

Chrysalis

That which protects from external forces
While within new life pulses...
Metamorphosis occurring
Old to new,
Evolving
Bringing
Growth and change,
To the one that'd been trapped therein
Emerging, twisting, breaking free
Shedding the old.... old me.
Stretching forth to the rising sun
Soon.... soon.....
My time will come.
