Have you ever cried

This is the first piece I have written in several weeks since getting out of the hospital, I felt a lot of pain and sorrow not physical but in my soul, met some angels who are nurses and a few new ones heading home including a few that came to see the room they had once stayed before they moved on. This is for their loved ones who left the stains of their teardrops on the wall.

Have you ever cried

Have you ever cried outside on a sunny summer day?
Have tear drops fallen when you heard a certain song being played?
Have your eyes seen someone special who was not really there?
Have your ears heard voices when nobody was around of someone whom you cared?

Chorus:
Well, your not crazy and your not
a damn fool, no, that is how you
know your heart is still broken and
trying to heal reaching out just
trying to feel anything a touch, a
kiss, a thought from the one you
loved who is no longer here.

Have you ever heard a whisper all alone in the middle of the
night?
Have you ever felt the warmth of their body in your bed all alone with arms wrapped around you tight?
Have you ever had a dream that felt so real that when you woke to an empty room you could feel it still?

Chorus:
Well, your not crazy and your not
a damn fool, no, that is how you
know your heart is still broken and
trying to heal reaching out just
trying to feel anything a touch, a
kiss, a thought from the one you
loved who is no longer here.

Love will linger long after they are gone either as an angel up in heaven or words in someone else's song, and even though it feels like time has forgotten you just remember that forever is not that very long your heart will mend you will stand tall again and finally you will move on.

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...
