AV1988 Poetry (6)

A just man that works hard every night,
often chasing crooks not wanting to go down without a fight.
He spots a law breaker after patrolling the streets,
he runs great distances and jumps fences and other feats.
He tackles him and he cuffs him;
after the chase in an ally where the light is dim.
He takes him to the car and puts him in his place,
the crook still panting after losing the race.
He takes him to jail to lock him up,
from the effects of crack, still dazed, the crook still doesn't know whats up.
He fills out the paper work, prints, and pictures the man,
he puts him in the cell, still on time for his plan.
To his fellow officers he says good-bye,
being very thankful that, yet again, this night he did not die.
He takes out his keys and gets in his car,
going to his apartment which is ten miles far.
Behind the wheel at this hour he usually tires,
but he keeps going to get to his wife whom he most desires.
He notices someone on the side of the road kicking sand,
so he pulls over to give him a helping hand.
The mans car had broken down,
and the only expression in his face was a frown.
The officer begins to fix the car since he is a skilled mechanic,
he looks at his watch, sees the time, and begins to panic.
He remembers that his wife is waiting for him, in the back of his mind.
Becoming frustrated, his teeth begin to grind.
He fixes the car and is on his way,
desperately trying to get home on time, he begins to pray.
He get to the parking lot and begins to rush,
anxious to get inside, the keys the keys he begins to crush.
he speeds up the stairs with all of his might,
once inside, he finds his wife asleep, he kisses her and whispers in her ear, "maybe tomorrow night..."

I Lay here wondering while I wait. Just waiting for a message to determine my fate.
To reinforce what love means to me. Just Laying here wondering if this is my destiny.
Wondering if i'm going to stay alone. All I want is to hear her voice on the phone.
So sad here without her to the point where I cry. Laying here I shed a tear from my eye.
I feel the tear roll down my cheek. I wonder, does this make me weak?
Caused by the heartbreaks that i've been through. I lay here wondering if Id do things differently if I only knew.
No, I don’t regret these things, id leave it all the same. Its nobodies fault, no one to blame.
Being in Love has always been strange. I know I love her and there is no reason for that to change.
I once asked God to send me an Angel from the heavens above. I now have my Angel and she is the one I love.
I Lay here wondering no longer feeling blue. I wonder if you know Angel, That I love you.

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams slip away
Life becomes work not play.

Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams are left in the dark
Life becomes a burden and a treacherous
Journey, which we must embark.

Dreams are your sails
And life is your boat
Secure them tightly
And stay afloat.

I walk up to you speaking only with my eyes. What am I saying to you? I hide all emotions. I keep my heart in disguise. You stare deep into my soul piercing through all of my defenses. You see right through me, and its no surprise. You know me so well as if you can hear my thoughts. I have no choice but to let my true feelings arise. You continue your gaze and your lips curve into a smile. Instantly I give in. I don't know what it is about you that keeps me in your spell. I look down at my feet overwhelmed by your gaze and my lips begin to curve into a smile. You light up knowing you've unlocked the side of me you recognize. I'm lucky to have found you although we're worlds apart. You read my eyes, heart, and soul. Everything you see you already know. I whisper, "I Love You, I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know." I Lean In for a kiss and you close your eyes. Our lips never meet and you wonder why? A soft breeze whispers, "open your eyes" only to realize. I'm Gone…

Imagine after running for an hour in blazing sun, taking your first sip of water; how great that water tastes.
Imagine working so hard for the goal of climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, and you climb all the way to the top; how great that feeling is.
Imagine that you're drowning in deep-dark water and you're about to pass out from the lack of oxygen after swimming as hard as you can trying to reach the surface, and then you make it and you take that first deep breath; how great that fresh air smells.
Imagine that you're a young child thats lost and alone in a big world surrounded by strange places and strange people. And you're so scared that you're about to cry and just then you hear a familiar voice of a loved one that has just found you; how sweet that sound is.
You were my sip of cold water that satisfied my thirst.
You were my feeling of accomplishment that satisfied my heart and soul. You were the crucial breath of fresh air that saved me.
You were that sweet voice that called out my name.
It was all you...

You enjoy torture and inflicting pain.You make it look like im going insane.Some how you manage to remain out of sight.You hide yourself well. Sometimes you can be creepier than anything that could come out from Hell. You give me an evil laugh and a sinister smile.I stare at you trying to figure you out,This might take a while.I remain unfazed by your devilish look.I stand here staring at you for such a long time,who knows how long it took.I must remember the one im staring at is me.Im not sure how you were set free.I stand still like a statue made of stone.But in this realm we are not alone.Something lurks in the darkness;Its too dark to see.This monstrous creature that comes after me.I notice you’ve come alive.And its all because of this creature that has arrived.You take great interest in this unwelcomed guest.You and I have something in common because this creature I too detest.I seek to destroy this creature that has haunted my world with its ways.You get ready to torture the monster with a look of excitement on your face;I guess thats the way you play.You want to make sure that it suffers by inflicting a lot of pain.This creature disgusted me so much,I wont complain.Allied together we make an impressive team. But there is no waking up from this Nightmare, This is not a Dream...
