I would have given anything.

I would have given anything

As I stand here today on the precIbus
of my life I have always wondered
what it would have been like t
have had everything
that I ever wanted, I mean sure, I have
a car that I can drive around town to
get me where I want to go, a home with
a roof over my head where I can fall
asleep on my bed and live, I have food
on the table so I do not go hungry,
clothes on my back that are new and
clean not used or dirty, a flat screen
television I can watch the news on
to see all of the people who have
nothing at all , but the one thing in
life that I have never known and always
wanted and I would have traded
everything I owned is how it felt to
be loved back by anyone at all, to
feel what love felt like when love wrapped
its arms around me holding me tight,
to hear what love sounded like when
it was whispered softly in my ear in the
middle of the night to smell the scent
of love left on the sheets of the bed and
pillow from the night before,
and its
sweet taste it left on my lips from your
kiss and me kissing all over your
beautiful body, so now that
I am
hanging off the edge of insanity
I will give anything I have to know that
out of all the love I have ever given
throughout my entire life is that
there is somebody out there somewhere
that ever loved me back.

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...
