Locked away deep inside

Locked away deep inside 

I still have a photograph of you that I have
always carried stored forever in my heart and
when I close my eyes to see it every night when
I dream of you and me like we used be not
all that long ago, I also have all of the
memories of you and I that are imprinted
deep down in my very soul that I can wrap
close around me like when you used to hold
me when the nights get lonely and so very
cold, but today if you asked me how am I
doing I would say I was "doing okay" but
the truth is sweetheart, if you could read my
mind you would know that I was lying
because there is not a single day that
goes by that I am not thinking about you
and so you know even after all this time you
are always on my mind somehow in some
way you are still locked away deep inside
of me while I still in the middle of night wait
for your call just hoping that you might think
about me when all your dreams do not work
out like you thought they would while I lay
here all alone in the dark wishing you were
right here next to me, with your head
on my chest listening to the beating of my
pounding heart with a smile across your
beautiful face knowing that it still skips a
beat for you.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all and we all matter bi

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T

Will Still

Will Still The sun will still shine and birds will still sing the rain will still fall along with the leaves from the trees while the waves will still crash down upon the sandy beach  snow will still fall in the mountains in the winter at least who knows how deep the flowers will still bloom when it comes to the spring the rivers will still flow and the fish will still swim in the oceans and lakes birthdays will still come to blow out candle sticks christmas will still come except there will be one person less that would be me Just more food for you to eat maybe less presents under the tree then a new year will still come the next will still too bombs will still drop and bullets will still fly killing innocent people who will  still die in wars around the world before breakfast I never knew why the moon will still rise every single  Night just as the sun will fall in the  west making love to each other as they have done now for ages humans will still fight over some thing called religi
