Certain kind of something

Certain kind of something

Whenever I go out I take a good long
look all around me just watching
and listening to all the people out
on the streets no matter where I go
I keep trying to find a certain kind of
something that has to do with love
I am not exactly sure of what I am
looking for but when I see it I am
quite sure that I will know, I see the
single ones just trying hard to find
another one who is just like them
just so they could know what love is
so they will no longer be lonely
any more, then there are those who
have finally just given up on ever
really finding a true love for they
have given up on the hope after
being in all of the raging battles
in what I call "Loves war" who
have been beaten down, bruised
up, scars from wounds while still
hurting from all of their broken
hearts. The few that just do not
ever want anything to do with love
are only looking for a good time
with their motto of "what can you do
for me, baby how about you buy me
a new car throw in some cash and I
Promise to love you long time" which
makes me say ewww, they are so
confused on what exactly love really
is fooled into believing like a lot of
others have been too by an almost
exact facsimile of what love is
suppose to be the nemesis of love,
lust another four letter word yet
means something quite different,
you see a real love will last long
past forever no matter what you
may hear while lust last only long
enough for the attraction to wear off
or until the money runs dry. No
matter who you are everybody in
every place wherever you go are all
still searching while they continue
hoping for the same thing that all
of you and I are all still wishing on
patiently waiting for not another
cold-hearted lover or one night
stands, love that never last past
the morning, promising forever
while knowing it is a lie, no what
want and have been searching for
is really true love to walk through
our doors.

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...
