There’s a sadness in being, a sadness in seeing
Our creation decline,
Twas not your vision nor twas not mine,
But we will begin again as we have before,
And once again, hope for more.

Love is not easy to be done
Love need time to develop
Love need patience
Love need attraction
Love need respect
Love need generosity
Love need truth
Love need trust
Love need honesty
Love has hardles
Onec Love Is Done
Than Love Is Forever

Damaged at 40 and still I can't connect
No wonder I cry over just the concept
The deeper the pain the deeper I forget
Until withered further by that aspect
Looking back on it.
If it wasn't for the joy
between a dog and a boy
I just might of split
but didn't
with the help from the invisible part
that just won't quit

Reading as a Child


Where can I find quiet?

My thoughts scatter at sounds

knocking, knock-knocking.

Inside the panelled cave dwells parents’ silent attire.

I enter and turn, facing out.

Calm cottons, serene silks, peaceful polyesters

drape behind me like ghosts from the past.

I roll the hollow door shut, pressing in the peace.

As I lower myself to sit,

I fall through layers of shoe funk

hovering two feet thick.

Unfortunately, the quiet awakens Tinnitus,

who is usually hidden laced within the racket.

Finally secure, I concentrate my quilted mind under a dim bulb

and over words barely reflecting into peepholes.

Comprehension is vital

dad wears out his tongue,

as Mom sits hooked,

weaving twisted worries

that I pattern.

Somebody like you,
is who I'd want to be with forever ...
Somebody like you
is who I wish to make my days
more meaningful , colorful, and richer ...

Somebody like you
is definitely who I desire
to carve a trail of love and lust for each other ...
that would remain burning hot to the touch
from now to whenever ...

Somebody like you
is the one who can love me for who I am ...
Who can gladly take and appreciate
all the love, devotion , and care
that I will so selflessly, with you, share ...

Some people we meet are not meant to stay ...
Some persons we encounter only linger for awhile ...
But there are those exceptions
that may come our way ...
Somebody like you
with whom I can think in terms of forevermore ...
with whom I can see and feel
that rare elusive bond & connection
that reminds us of what true Love
is all about and for ...

Let me love you my Darling,
so I can prove to you
that the sun rises through the clouds
and is still shining ...
Let me love you my Dearest
so I can show you,
even when you are at your weakest ,
that I'll always be there ...
Let me love you my Honey,
so you can once more taste the sweet
after suffering the bitter ...
Let me love you my Sweetie,
so you can live all your following days
hearing yourself sweetly called
in all the most endearing ways ...
And let me love you my precious Love,
so you can once more be
the best partner, friend, and lover
as you surely will, in turn,
bring all those out in me
wherever... whenever ... forever ...

Amazed at the knowledge that trickles through thy brain, flowing endlessly away,
leaving but a stain!

Do you know?
You are the star in your own show
You are the light shining bright
You are the spark and you are the fire
You are the low and you are the higher
You are the day and you are the night
You are the good and you are the bad
You are the happy and you are the sad
You are the slow and you are the fast
You are the future and you are the past
You are the present and not meant to last.

Lightning striking
thunder roars
and oh the rain!
how it did pour
then afterwards the petrichor
the sweet scented smell of a summer storm...
