Only you have the power

Only you have the power

I started out in my life believing 
that I was going to set the world on 
fire, but soon found out it was filled with 
nothing more than smoke and mirrors 
finding only thieves and liars along with
those who want to steal all of your dreams 
and desires anyway they can, 
I thought 
that I was the King of my own kingdom
but I never got to rule anyone or anything 
for I only wore a paper crown 
colored in
with a golden crayon, I thought I
was the captain of my own ship 
Sailing in the direction that I myself
had picked, little did I know at that time
the tides on the ocean of tears that 
were filled up with years of guilt had 
their own agenda taking me everywhere
but the place I needed, so I chose 
my path in this life the best that I
could all because I thought 
it would
lead me to untold riches and 
happiness 
but I got lost somehow and took a wrong
turn because it only took me
to a one 
way highway that led me straight to 
hell, where the harder I tried to get
back home the faster I would fall and hit
the ground and got really sick
and tired 
of it, so I climbed up the ladder as 
fast as I could stepping on
those who 
got in my way losing track of
who I was
caring for nobody but myself
until God or
someone else pushed me off
and I fell 
fast and this time I hit the ground so 
hard it finally woke me up so
I started 
climbing back out taking my time and
trying to help others to find 
their way
too which fills my heart up with peace
and my soul is now out dancing 
in the rain all by itself not needing
anyone else and as for me
well I have 
my ups and downs but now 
I smile 
because I know that I am just
that much
closer to heaven and get the
help of
angels now and then and even though
this world is still filled with thieves and 
liars that's okay cause they need help
too once in while and nobody
can ever 
take my dreams and or desires from 
me and just like the devil he 
only has 
power over you no matter how hard
He tries unless you let him 
for you
and you only have the power 
to live uour
life how you want it. 

Amen

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...
