Spilled Ink from the heart and soul of Poet and Author Richard M Knittle Jr.

When it comes to love When it comes to love there many different types of people in the world I know who it is I am I do you? the ones who want love, those that need love, the kind who do not know how to love, then we have those who cannot love, we have people afraid to love other people looking for love even ones that hate to love or even love to hate and then adding to the equation those that mistake lust as love using sex to feel loved even people who have love yet never felt love love of another like a sister and a brother which in Arkansas is almost legal and we can take it even further making love to each other sorry love to joke about it mother and son love even referring to the above even man-boy love who really should be locked away while on the subject, there is a man man love up the well you know so again love the next is newborn love to everyone man dog love then woman dog love which I saw down in Tijuana definitely not what I thought but better then a horse woman lo...

Romans 12:2 All around this planet we all talk about peace on earth and good will towards all of man, but do we all really mean just that, coming from deep down in our souls within? The Bible verse Romans 12:2 says "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will." Now, in my own mind, at least from how I believe the bible reads we must not listen to all the others, do not be fooled by those falling into the trends, meaning just because it is popular and everyone else is doing it, does not mean that it is not a sin. You see one of the many problems here in America and in many other countries are we have so many laws for everything for nothing, why? Well God basically only has ten. Matthew 6:33 says "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as...

I am very honored that The Dear John Show a prestigious poetry show choose this piece of mine to read on Sunday,  The Dear John Show I can still remember  I can still remember back when just my  touch on your bare skin was quiet enough  to hold all of your love in my arms under  the stars watching them shooting across the skies then falling just as we did for each  other while wishing we would stay together,  with only the glow of the full moon rising  like the fires of our passion that was burning out of control, late at night where we laid  out on a blanket on the shores of eternity  just you and me on the oceans of forever  where you and I made love until the sun  came up shining its light down around us as we were making our dreams come true.  Here we are today and have both gone our separate ways as time were never completely on our side, it is funny how life sometimes goes for what we believe i...

Douglas is in the studio recording this song now. they say that love will find you when you just ain't lookin’  now i know that to be true  but they forgot to mention  love will leave you blue  love will leave you blue lost in the lie that forever will tell  feeling the lonely too chorus but I’ll never be lonely  your memory’s inside  I haven’t had the chance  to tell myself, your gone  we never said goodbye  those memories won’t die  Let me hold on a little longer  till my bleeding heart gets stronger and my soul won't fall to pieces when I cry the time we shared together  was the best time of my life  and even though we said forever  i never knew how short would be our time we met. you stole my heart its true we shared a kiss. I’ll be ok without you  But you’ll always be  th...

Free. Free from the tyranny that chained my heart free from the hate that had left its mark free from the wars that were fought for my soul  free from the conflicts in my mind not letting me go free from the colors that is my skin free from the violence that I was in free from the hunger that I felt free from the life that I was dealt free from the addiction in my veins free from the ashes in the flames free from the ghost in my past free from the love that did not last free from the greed from which we breed free from the power we did not need free from the boundaries that cage us in free from the races that should have never began free from the cross from which we hang  free from the ancestors in where came free from the world that divides us all free from the blindness that we saw free from the bloodshed that we bleed free from the people that think we need free from the ones that create despair free from the smoke that fills our air  free fro...

The stars shine brighter I believe that the stars above in the night sky shine brighter over  the United States of America  more than at any other place in  the world, no not because of  who our president is but the  people who live and work here,  people that are just like you  and I. So here is too all of  the men and woman postman,  who deliver all of our mail, for  now over two hundred and thirty  eight years from New York City  to down the Oregon trail, to all the fire men and women who put  their lives on the line for us each  and every day while rushing head first into the burning rings of fire  just like Johnny Cash would say,  to the many thousands of hero's  who died all in freedoms name  and all of the men and woman  who serve now or in the past  bravely all around the world who know that at any time they could die not like those who only  play ...

I can still remember I can still remember back when just my touch on your bare skin was quiet enough to hold all of your love in my arms under the stars watching them shooting across the skies then falling just as we did for each other while wishing we would stay together, with only the glow of the full moon rising like the fires of our passion that was burning out of control, late at night where we laid out on a blanket on the shores of eternity just you and me on the oceans of forever where you and I made love until the sun came up shining its light down around us as we were making our dreams come true. Here we are today and have both gone our separate ways as time were never completely on our side, it is funny how life sometimes goes for what we believe is so important to us, all at that very moment seems to change almost every day, now sometimes as I lay there in my bed at night when my wife and kids are sleeping tight the thought of you begins to fill my head bringing back al...

I have a dream I have dream yes just like Martin Luther King Jr. as many others do, from way  back in our sorid past up until today and even in the future  that one day peace, I mean substainable Peace will find its way into our hearts where (consequently Peace must first begin by  finding peace within one's  own self) forever through  all the eternities it shall stay lasting until the end of time, but alas, it is only dream, one that I do believe in, for I find  it so absurd of the fear and hate for the color of a man's skin, I mean to be honest are we now to be afraid of a rainbow or a box full of children's crayons and Play Doh? Were you will find just about every single color that  you can think off (even some you never heard of) in your mind. Maybe, we should all fade to gray taking all the hues away then would the world be a better place to stay for our children to grow live and play or would fear just find something else to r...

Peace on earth goodwill to mankind, we are of one world o e race the human race and are all citizens of the planet earth. No, I am not black  No, your right I am not black, so I cannot ever know how you may actually  feel, because God just happened to  make my skin color white but does it  make a big deal? We both you and I have struggled in a lot of the same ways  for I fight every day to find good paying  jobs so I can put food on my children's  plate. Just because I was born to  parents that are white too, does not  mean that I came with a big silver spoon.  Just because are you black does not  mean that you were born poor, you  have more millionaires now than at  anytime in our history before. You,  were never a slave picking cotton in the  fields and I never owned any and I never  will, that mistake was resolved back  over one hundred years through many  different color ...

Be still my quickly beating heart Every time I see you I need to stop and tell myself "Hey man, you got this, all you gotta do is just be cool" but then you look right at me with your pretty smile and beautiful face and all of a sudden my knees get weak then I can barely speak so I close my eyes real tight and remind myself that I will be all right as I whisper underneath my breath "Be still my quickly beating heart" as it begins pounding really hard deep down within my chest, while all of those loving feelings come rushing back I bet you can guess what happens next as I fall head over heals in love with you, just like I always do while some of my favorite memories start to play like double feature in my head showing me in my eyes past all of our home made movies along with some old photographs showing all the adventures that you and I had, all of the awesome uncut scenes even the adult eyes only ones from all our many different moments in ti...

happily ever after forevermore. As the very last drop of ink fell from his tired old pen and before it had a chance to spill splashing down upon the last pages of his life, something quite amazing happened for it almost seemed as if only for a just a brief quick moment hung right there in the air like a tear- drop falling floating almost as if time itself had stopped a deafening silence filled the air a kind of quiet, only the dead or even dying would hear, no birds chirping, or a cat purring, no tick tock from the clock that was showing one o'clock pm, not even water rushing from the river outside his door, no water dripping on the floor coming from a leaky ceiling in dire need of some repair, nay even dogs barking chasing the neighbors across the yard, no, absolutely nothing at all, suddenly from out of the ink a huge blinding white light like a bolt of lightning flashed followed very closely by a tremendous crash as thunder exploded knocking things off the wall from the concussi...
