I just wanted you to know.

Throughout our entire lives, we will meet an uncountable number of people in the many places that our life's paths will take us. Some of those may just be around for a few brief moments while others are just passing by some may be longer, but just know that any one of them can and will change the very essence of who you were. This poem is dedicated to all of those that have touched me whether it be good or bad for because of you I am now whom you see.

I just wanted you to know.

I just wanted you to know that I truly
do miss you and all of the love that
we once had, more and more every
single day, I know they say that time
is supposed to heal our wounds and
that we move on eventually, but just
so you know It is not always true for
your memories will never fade and
they shall always remain for all
these tears that fall down my face
for you when I am all alone still
carry the very thoughts and feelings
of you every single day, I truly do
believe that in our short lives we all
live, love will come and love will go
but if you are one of those lucky
enough to have fate on your side
you will meet that one person who
is special over all the others that
we meet, they will be that one
whom you will always in your life
remember forever through all the
ends of time for the true love,
you once shared while you were
together was very strong and deep,
that one you still maybe with
forever or maybe even for just a few
days or even weeks, the one who
woke your sleeping soul above any
and all others that you will ever
seek, the very one that you judge
all the rest, the one that rose above
and beyond and caused your heart
to skip a beat in your chest.
I found that one soul within you, no
matter where it is in this world that
you may be and as I am sitting here
right at this very moment under the
millions of stars across the night
skies with all of my memories
playing in my head of you and
me causing a smile on my face
and tears of both sadness and joy
falling to the ground and, I just
wanted to reach out to say thank
you so very much for not only
being such a big part of my life
for just that brief moment in time
that God had given us, but for the
piece of your heart and even your
very soul that you left inside of me
that shall now always be a part of who
it is I am and has made the reflection
of whom you see now for without
you in my life my world be a lot less
bright never knowing you.

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...
