Once upon a time ago

Once upon a time ago. 

Once upon a time ago two very lonely
souls had met by chance then fell pretty
much in love with each other the first time
that they laid eyes on each other then one
thing led to another and we kissed lightning
flashed and the thunder crashed and we
saw fireworks in each other’s eyes, believe
it or not that was you and I, thinking back
now it seems so long ago, anyway what
started out as two lonely people from
different times and places found something
in the other that they both had needed and
neither wanted to let the other go, it was
happy and smiles everywhere they would
go holding hands and kissing while making
love with both of them wishing that this
feeling would never come to an end, so they
got married way to soon. He was older
and having a lot of fun but could never
quite understand what the younger generation
was all about but he tried man did I try the
best he could but she was younger in a
different world that was free to do whatever
with whoever whenever they can believing
there was a difference between having sex
and making love, that telling little white lies
was okay, and more, as time went on the
problems were getting bigger than either
would ever say causing issue to arise that
neither one could hide away causing a rift
between them that grew so big that even
still today will never end. Unlike their so called
relationship that should No, needs to come
to an end for good, I know that we did not
start out to hurt each other it really was
very much love. We just came from two
different ways of thinking neither of us is to
blame it is just the way it was and still is
today. I am sorry for not knowing better or
understanding the huge difference that
was between us in the beginning maybe I
should have either way I do now and I know
that we never belonged together in the first
place, but I will always be flattered that you
even looked my way, I believe that time had
poisoned what we had causing us to become
very toxic, causing irreversible damage to
who we were creating this disaster we call
today, so we need to both salvage what is
left of our messed up lives. We have a chance
right now to find happiness with someone else
I hope. It is time that we separate before we
destroy each other any further then we already
have not just for us but our families, friends, and especially Ryder.

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...
