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 inside
we were born into a darkness without the light side
we hide our deep sadness from those that we love
and could never be treated by any doctor glove
All the smiles that we share and the laughs we hand
out that only mask our loneliness as we look for a
way out we still love our left children and blame is
theirs not but we tried all the choices and believe me
we fought
so if the darkness does not find you please do not
be quick to cast out be thankful my friends that it
missed you no doubt
Robin Williams fought with demons and he fought a
good fight but he lost his long battle with the darkness
for him, there was no light so I want to say thank you to
Robin for all the great laughs you have been the light in
our battle as we walk down the same paths
I personally will mourn you as my demons may win
but as the gates of heaven open I will scream at the top
of my lungs nanu nanu as I walk on in.

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...
