An incandescent sunset
The waves crash nearby

The Side effects of Love

You my dear are an imagination,
But a mere illusion of the mind’s eye
My rare new intangible fixation
My dear you arouse me, so I deny
I know not of how you came to be here
But you and your sensation must leave now
I’m sorry but it must be done so dear
You dear know not of what I will allow
To rid me of this malevolence, so
I’ll not continue to be a burden,
To this world my dear, I now say adieu
My dear you mean the world to me, within
You are but an untamed dream, and you have
Swept me away, but I am not your slave.

Thy Own Decision

(This is a true story on a tough decision that i had to make.)

I know not of what to do.
Thou can not decide between you two.
But I shant continue to mislead.
Oh, from what life shalt I lead?
It must end right hither and now.
I shall end it soon, but how?
Thy own heart is telling me one.
Mine ownst mind sonnot reckon.
I'm tied between these men of two.
One of which is thy beau!
When the time comes there'll be but one.
It comes down to the final elimination.
The time is now, oh yes it 'tis.
For now a decision it is.
When one's heart will break.
and thy other I shalt take.
It is now the final task.
The winner of my heart will now be unmasked.

5 Senses

I smell the musky scent of your cologne
I hear your breath close to my ear
I feel your lips brush mine
I see your eyes close
I taste the saltiness of your moist lips

I Will Not!

The wind will cease to blow
The sun will fail to shine
The trees will stop their growing
The angels will halt their singing
The birds will end their cawing
The stars will fade from exsistance
But I will not falter from loving you

Can We?

This is just going
Down a narrow
Winding road...
Never to be better
And my loss is
What I fear...
Can we stay together?
Cause I'm not so sure...
The road is rocky
But we can make it
Cause you can't leave now
You've got me...
I'm trapped...
In love
Without you...
I'm nothing
By myself
I know
I'm missing...
Something...
You complete me
That's why...
We must make this work

Don't Forget Me

Cry for me not
My little angel
It's my time
My time to leave

Be strong little one
Be strong for me
I'm always there
Whenever you need

Don't give up
My darling
Just follow through
It's what you should do

Be good for me
My baby girl
Don't get in trouble
To me you mean the world

Stay safe my little one
Stay safe for me
I love you honey
Don't forget me

A Thousand Miles (not finished)

(Chorus)
I could go a thousand miles
I could see a thousand things
But I would pass up anything
To be with you right now

From Cali to L.A.
Denver to New York
These places don't mean anything
Without you here with me

Any distance I would travel
Any mountain I would climb
Any river I would cross
Just to be with you tonight

(Chorus)
I could go a thousand miles

These Things I Shed

The tears
I shed
Are not of sorrow
But of fear
The blood
I shed
Is not of abuse
But for pleasure
The sweat
I shed
Is not from work
but from sleepless nights
The clothes
I shed
Are not because I'm changing
But because I'm working
The words
I shed
Are not for school
But for custody
The hair
I shed
Is not purposeful
But from Chemo

Paul the Gnome

My story starts out in a musty old bedroom of a pretty run down house. On the ratty old mattress in the center of the room, sat a little girl who was overcome with laughter.
“Boy, was that a great trick. Pa never knew I put Crazy Glue in his cap. Ha! What a great idea, but no one laughed. I thought it was funny.”
The little girl went on about how she glued her father’s cap to his head.

The Spring Duckling

A chubby little baby duck
Went jumping in the mud and muck
And within a shadow of a doubt
The chubby duck began to pout

Because he began to pout
He had done it day in and day out
As he was in the gooey mud

The chubby little baby duck
Who was floundering in the mud and muck
Was just then swept away
Hope he comes another day

The Hayride

I can see the hay wagon as it comes
So I prepare to jump and shout
Everyone was frightened along the way
After they leave I laugh and hum

When I go on
I don’t scream or shout
I high five the monsters
It was a great phenomenon

Smelling Posies

I was smelling a posy
When a bee stung my nosey
Just then I fell like a rock
And squished a peacock

Why does it have to be me
Oh boy now I have to pee
I tripped on a duck
On the way to my truck

I ran out of time
I couldn’t wait in line
For the porta-potty
Wetness had over come me

Happiness

The sun rose
Among the dew ridden valley
And what shall we see?
Two fawn playing gleefully
