Age and Beauty

I wrote this to my wife Brittany 7 years ago when we first met..

Age and Beauty

Her beauty was that of a princess in a fairy tale with a body
that was as perfect as a bottle of hundred-year-old red wine.
He was a poet that wrote of beautiful women just like her
in all his epic love poems all the time. She was the timeless
beauty who had the essence of Marilyn Monroe he wanted
to create a new poem written all over her body on a blanket
under the light of a full moon and all the stars up in the skies
on some hot midsummer night, two hearts who were lost
that want to beat as one just trying to find their way in this
lonely life, but alas time was not on his side. She had all the
time in the world as she was just starting her life, and he
was halfway through his they were friends though he
secretly he wanted much more, for he was the age when
he wrote of love from the beginning of time. She was all
the beauty of this world that he dreamed of and all the
masterpieces he would write whenever she was around
yet she never even had to make a sound. The poetry that
he wrote in his head was simply amazing and the ones
that he wrote for the world to see were absolutely lovely
as could be. She was just as wild as a northern wind in
a perfect storm with a wild soul that wanted so much
more out of life than she has seen so far. He lived a
thousand lives with her in his dreams that would play in
his mind whenever he would close his eyes, she knew
too and was so amazed by his words that he wrote to her.
Maybe one day she will know that she was his Juliette
his Monroe was his secret love that she would never
know. Her beauty never faded for him just like all of his
feelings that saturated his mind with the thoughts of her
every day and night his heart was always hers from the
start his soul that would forever feel young because
one day on a hot midsummer night age and beauty
finally came together to write a masterpiece of love
that only they would ever know the words to that
would forever be etched in all the fabric of time as
they wrote a classic piece of poetic art together
that will last always and beyond forever as age and
beauty came together as friends and lover's husband
and wife in every love poem that was and will be ever
written of all time.

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...
