Spilled Ink from the heart and soul of Poet and Author Richard M Knittle Jr.

Why does love hurt Is there anybody out there who can tell me the reason that we can fall in love so damn easily with a stranger and then inevitably fall back out of love with each other becoming enemies in a war of words and emotions causing major conflicts for no apparent reason while bringing more hate and anger to a world that does not need it anymore, so why is it that love needs to hurt so damn bad when you break up with another then all of the pain that you feel from a broken heart hurts more than just about anything that you will ever know and even though no bones are broken that pain is just as real, I mean why do people even fall in love with these days since it always seems like it ends up causing us so much more pain anyway as all the ugly dark clouds start to move in covering all of the sunlight coming from the sadness of depression which causes so many teardrops start falling on your face so fast you think that you just might drown out in the pouring rain. I guess the ha...

  Remember Robin Williams Demons These demons I fight I know are for real from the scars on my heart to the pain that won’t heal I lay in my bed but at night I was awake for the bad ones have taken my dreams to forsake my fate has been sealed and with God's help I tried but my world is now over as It fell to their side I fought with the courage of his only son but at the end of the battle, I was still only one my life has been nothing it seems but one day in hell and because it meant nothing to me the faster I fell I fought back for freedom and the last of my sons the addiction I beat easy for Ryder well it is still on those friends I have taken with me into heart you have taught me humanity deserves a new start so please do not worry for me for I will never be gone all of the poetry that I write for you well they will live on I hope when you read them as that tear starts to call It is okay to remember me so please let them all fall for people like me who are hurting from the insi...

Love Forever I can still remember in vivid detail the first time we met after work it was a beautiful night and there was a smell of stale green beer and pretzels because it was Saint Patrick’s Day I guess some kind of Irish saint who drank a lot anyway I showed up not knowing what to expect yet I felt something was about to change my life and it did as I came around the corner you were standing there more beautiful than I could have ever imagined when my eyes found yours they said out loud WoW yours said yes like you could see straight through to my soul and was answering a question so we got a little bit closer until our lips touched and we kissed like we were the only ones there  just as lightning lit up the skies while thunder was booming from  within our pounding hearts as dark clouds covered up the then the light from the moon and stars disappeared that’s when the Angels looked down covered their eyes and blushed as our demons too were thinking way too much as they were ...

There are days I miss you more than yesterday's sun then there are days I wish I never knew you just want to have some fun then there are those that you do not need to know and others that would send me to hell for  thinking it  but mostly I miss the thought of us when we were only friends and that was all we knew.  Poet Richard M Knittle Jr.

I am afraid for myself and what is to come for everyday that passes I am dying just a little bit more while I am becoming weaker and more forgetful each day soon I will be gone just a forgotten memory fading away and nobody will even remember my name. I am afraid for my children because I will never be there for them I mean with me gone who are they gonna blame now for how their life has turned out the only others who may miss me might miss me a little bit I mean who will be there to take all the money I got I am afraid they might just need to finally go find a job I am afraid of dying not for myself but my mother and my boy the only ones who would will really miss me when I am not here for them to enjoy who will be here when my sons need their father or my mother needs her son especially when they look around and I am already gone.

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...

I believe that beauty is a sight to beholden,  so my eyes are beholden unto you just as the  stars in the night do not shine as bright as all  the sparkles from your eyes and your smile  lights up the whole wide world. Poet Richard M Knittle Jr.

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 ...

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...

  "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...
