I am afraid to say.

I am afraid to say 


I am afraid to say that the last remaining love 
that I had held for you after all these many 
years has sadly finally died last night, it passed 
away quietly without making even a sound as 
we both were laying right here on this bed with 
not a word being said facing opposite of each 
other in a room that we made into a home at 
one time together but like so many times in the 
past so very far apart from one another, living
like we are aliens in two separate worlds in
another dimension never seeing the other in 
person just a feeling like a déjà vu moment 
seeing the shadows from out of the corner 
of your eyes with a sensation that this place 
once held happy times, yet you cannot quite pin
point the who, what, when and the why like 
tiny fragments of a broken memory that 
look a little bit like,  no just like all of the tiny 
broken pieces of a heart that has been beaten 
down, bloodied, bruised, tied up and mistreated 
giving up the dream of ever seeing what true 
love really is and just so you know there will
be no memorial ever given out of respect for 
memories still out and missing nor will there 
be any grave or digging down into the hard
ground creating a six foot hole somewhere 
from nowhere in an unmarked grave, where 
it belongs like my sometimes angry temper 
and all of your fake emotions from a love 
that I never really had since you will never 
know what love really is, so let us just say 
that we have tried so many times in so many
places for all of these many long years we 
have run out of excuses of why this is so 
ridiculous that it has deformed as it transformed 
us from best friends and passionate lovers 
to two compete and total strangers who 
instead of love now hate and despise each 
other blaming the other for changing us to
who we are today and for what please can 
you give me a reason why? But I have grown 
so much stronger given the strength by He
we believe in from when I was blind he let
all his light in and now I can see, no longer 
hidden from all the smoke and fire caused 
by my passion of love and desire from my 
own eyes and now I have the truth to beholden
not like all the lies that we both told at one 
time or another as you tried so hard to conspire
against me as you hid all of your desires from
me but given away to the many different 
affairs that had, now today to tell the truth 
you know it does not matter anymore placing 
blame is such a waste of time and I am getting 
older not younger and it is time that I live 
my life being happy by myself or with another 
who actually will love me for who I am just 
me, as I will love them back just as much as 
they give too, giving me much needed 
attention and affection unlike you have ever 
done. So let us just stop all the fighting talking
under our breath calling each other names and
end this charade and all of the games played
as I am so tired of being ignored left to feel
all alone while having this always unchanging 
never ending discussion with no more words 
being needed as there are to many words
being wasted between us, for you and I are 
no longer a me and you as we are so very 
long overdue, expired with no chance on being 
revived or refreshed, finished, dead on arrival
and done, I am so glad that I am no longer
a prisoner of my wounded and battered 
emotions, escaping the jail cell of my own
design put there by you from your years
of abuse of my heart mind and soul, so 
goodbye and good luck in your life filled 
of lies that have been mapped out in your
mind that has been mixed and short 
circuited by addiction of which you have 
a condition of an evil affliction of an epic 
proportion from a selfishness that you 
have perfected and one that I no longer 
need to put up with because I am moving 
on up to the me side of town no longer 
the clown you made of me the one I fell 
back in love with again standing tall 
and able to look at my reflection in the
mirror every morning and respond to 
with hey how are you doing? I am just
fine my old friend. So I need to bid you 
adieu, adiós, addio, adeus, goodbye.

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
