Poet Introduction
I am a poet . Poetry is my passion . My pain and my love bleeds through that ink onto the paper . I breathe in experience and breathe out poetry .

"A Man's struggle"
Everyday I sit and think "it's hard to be a man" , and shot out to the troops that's over in Afghanistan ~ We pray you make it home safe for you and your family's sake , why don't these people do the right thing and give these kids a break ~ Man life's a bitch but it's better if you love her , i'm sick of hiding in this ditch and trying to take cover ~ I need to come up out my shell but I'm hit with a spell , take a look at my life and the many times I fell ~ Again I fall back down and I get back up , but society's got me trippin' so it's hard to stand up ~ And going back and forth...

"Poetry"
My poetry is always in motion , like the water constantly moving in the ocean ~ My poetry is a form of devotion , my poetry is the way I release my emotions ~ My poetry makes me whole , these words I write are straight from the soul ~ My poetry is my desire , my poetry is my fire ~ It's such a need like the oxygen to the trees , it's my everything it's the air I breathe ~ I express my love my hate my laughter , poetry is my life here now and after ~ My best words on this page are here , this is my own way I cry my tears ~ This poetry has become my habit , speaking words of wisdom I am an...

"I still see you"
I still see you in my dreams even though you're gone , it must mean my conscious is telling me it's still hard to move on ~ The day you left my life became a mess , leaving me stuck in denial which created emptiness ~ I carried your body but your soul was gone leaving it hallow , just a shell in the ground one tough pill to swallow ~ Why did you have to leave without saying goodbye , I look up at the sky and wonder why did you really have to die ~ I cried hard that day and i'm crying still , I suppose until the day I die I always will ~ I see you in my dreams and I try to stay asleep , but it...

"Inner War"
Deep in my soul is where these demons reside , I try to let them go but they continue to hide ~ Behind red walls this hate has been buried , and when I mask them it can become scary ~ This inner war that I continue to fight , I'm running out of strength I'm running out of might ~ The torture the pain I'm sick of it all , i try hard to pull myself together but continue to fall ~ These demons sound like winter wind echoing through the trees , this is a side of me that no one else sees ~ This inner darkness it rages with power , I battle everyday every night every hour ~ How do I confront these...

"Music"
Music is my everyday life , inspiring poems and these lyrics that i write ~ no matter what type of music it can be , always has had an influence on me ~ Without music I really don't know what I would do , it's always some place that i can go to ~ Escaping reality at any time of the day , and it only takes seconds just by pushing play ~ Gives me the vent for this pain that I feel , intensify's these feelings that are so real ~ Without this i wouldn't have happiness no life no love , it completes me like the stars in the sky up above ~ Makes it easier for the path that i tread , as I come up...

"A Man"
A man will see that in this world there's no peace
But this man's on his knees praying for it please
A man has dreams
A mad man screams
A sad man weep
A dead man sleep ~ B.
But this man's on his knees praying for it please
A man has dreams

"You're Mine"
Your self esteem is low like a half filled balloon , but truthfully you are a flower in the bloom ~ When i sit and stare i want you to know , I'm stuck on you and your beauty it glows ~ I've had a few loves but i think you're the one , you don't even know it yet but the day will come ~ Your smile's like the sun peeking through the clouds , it brightens my day puts a smile on my frown ~ When i think of you it fills my mind , leaving no more room to think and it happens all the time ~ Never really had such thoughts before , all about you and whom I adore ~ All these wonders that my eyes have...

"Alone with my thoughts"
Alone with my thoughts the good and the bad , alone with my thoughts thinking of the life I could of had ~ Alone with my thoughts it's hard to be glad , alone with my thoughts most of the time i'm just sad ~ Alone with my thoughts like rivers they flow , alone with my thoughts that no one will ever know ~ Alone with my thoughts they begin to rain , and through these eyes flow tears of pain ~ Alone with my thoughts racing too fast , alone with my thoughts impossible escaping my past ~ Alone with my thoughts in my head they scream , alone with my thoughts all day I dream ~ Alone with my...

"Your new year"
We have the chance to change or keep the same life , the new year is upon us 2013 doesn't come twice ~ The mistakes we've made that we can't undo , we should try not to repeat in the year that's brand new ~ Leave the past walk away after it's put down , and forget about "then" leaving all frustrations drowned ~ What we can't take back and the choices we chose , we can put it to rest as this year comes to a close ~ Out with the old and start with the new , make your resolutions and what you wanna do ~ Stick with your goals and try to be patient , even though time flies don't let...

"Fall"
Days are shorter the nights become cool , Time to put on a hoody and close down the pools ~ All this summer beauty is a sign of death and decay , the trees will remain but the leaves will blow away ~ They no longer glimmer in the setting of the sun , this is one of the first signs that summer is done ~ The echoing wind and the branches sway , as it's picking up speed scaring the birds away ~ Shadows are growing , while less light is showing ~ Fall has arrived , but only for months it will thrive ~ Nature displays her last summer fling , before her long winter sleep swings ~ B.

"Cracked"
There's a crack in the clock a crack in time , crack in my heart cracks in my mind ~ Take me back to where it all started , so I can stop being broken hearted ~ Heartbeat keeps on knocking long after I awake , do these dreams foreshadow falls that I must take ? Now I seem lost on this never ending road , I should have just stayed where my heart was with my soul ~ B.

"Too young to die"
They say the good die young , who would have known it was your fate to die by a gun ~ You were all too young just beginning to grow , now the only thing left is your names in stone ~ Life taken too soon because of a senseless act of violence , not even knowing what death was now your voices forever silenced ~ All children too young ages 6 through 7 , guess you were planted on earth just to bloom in heaven ~ God made these sweet children to never grow old , made smiles of sunshine molded hearts pure of gold ~ These losses they just seem so wrong , but the innocent shall be in the presence of...
