This Life

This Life

I hope this life you find your peace
the way it needs to be, I am alone now
I always was it is not your fault it was me.
You gave me hope to rise above,
to fight for my lost son the hope and
strength to show them all that I
was not ever done.
The world took note as people watched
this gift you gave to me, and many
people got your  gift as it spread
your hope through me.
The darkness never stops looking for all
the ones that do escape; it will hunt you
down forever till you meet your final fate.
It takes from you what you love most,
and watches you live in fear;
you were my love, my strength to fight,
the only reason that I am still standing here.
I will always have you in my heart,
I loved you more than life, as it used
that pain and fear I had, to break our
chain of life.
You gave me all you had to give,
for your heart was never mine,
and when your gift of hope fell from me
I got lost and fell back in time.so scared and lonely, with emotions highI just did not understand, I never wanted tofall in love with you, it really was not planned.
The bond that we shared, no one will ever
know for our lives were filled with so much strife,
you held my heart in your hands and stole
my soul like no one else ever has in my life
The path we took had led us there and
we do not know where it goes, but I will
never give my love away again as you are the last it will ever know.

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 a...

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...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
