I can see love.

I can see love
I was all alone while sitting on the rocking chair out on the front porch watching as the steam left my breath, just wondering why I am talking to myself​ as I say "why has love forgotten about me? I can see love it is everywhere that I look but love cannot ever see me, I do not understand why am I not here for love to see and if that is the case than where the hell can I be, I see love every day at the old folks home in the couple in room number twelve holding onto each others hands from two different beds just so they will not need to die alone, I can see love down at the city park where I see so many couples hugging and kissing on blankets on the grass making out, you see I always see love but love never knows where I am at, I can see love when the school bell rings when I saw Johnny give Sally his highschool ring I saw love walking hand In hand just down the road with the new couple who just moved in newlyweds I was told I hope love stays with them so they go through this crazy life together while they grow old for as long as they can. I saw love just about a week ago right over there at the grocery store isle eleven I think it was when a man caught his wife in his arms from slipping as I he said baby I would never let you go Yeah I can see love alright for it is everywhere that I look and it is always in my sights but whenever I try to grab on to love and hold on tight it runs away from me it disappears just like broken string attached to a high flying kite as I watch it disappear slowly and steadily out of sight. What can I do so that love can finally find me? am I invisible to love because that is what it would seem, for my entire life I have seen love every single day and I have seen love everywhere in every way but love for some reason has never seen me so I wonder if it will ever know that I am here out In the open down on my knees for the whole world to see as I pray to my God that love will finally find Me.

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...
