Life goes on

Life goes on

I unlock my front door turn the knob
and slowly open it letting the sunlight hit 
me melting away the darkness that 
was covering my skin melting it away causing 
a smile to form feeling like a butterfly 
emerging from its cocoon allowing me 
to spread my wings and feel free, then
I breath in and then slowly I let it out 
putting one foot in front of the other 
day in and day out ever since you 
left me I am just trying to figure it 
all out taking one day at a time relearning 
how do things by myself like a child all 
over again now that it is only just me again 
not you and I, its been hard I will not lie
but you know what? I will be just fine
I did it before you came along and I will do 
once again just you wait and see, 
because I had lived my life just as happy
as I could ever be before it was ever 
you and me, oh my heart? Well, it has 
been broken many times before and 
I am quite sure that it will not be the last 
time either, and I got through it breathing and 
still alive just like I will when I get over 
you, but you must know that I will always care
no matter where you go or even 
what you may do, for you are now and will
forever always be a little part of me as 
I have also left a piece of me in you, 
for you see when people come
and go in our lives either by fate 
or maybe even chance no matter how 
long they are around or even why they are
there we learn something along the 
way from those individuals to help us 
get through our journey until the very 
end, oh I may hurt and feel the pain 
coming from a love that has died and the
ache of loneliness for I do not know how long 
but we all eventually heal it really is 
just a matter of time, so we can all be
ready for the next person who may 
come in to our live and who knows what
they will teach us but I know one thing
for sure either way life goes on so I
breath in and then slowly I let it out 
putting one foot in front of the other 
day in and day out.

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
