Gramps
You told me to spread love like butter.
And that there are more women on earth.
If she wants to leave'ya "lutter"
Never be with someone who questions your worth.
don't you ever be afraid to cry.
And never be afraid of living.
To do, you first must try.
In a relationship be the one who is giving.
Remember these last few words I call out.
In life we all have to depart.
Being happy is what life's about
Listen to your brain, but follow your heart

Our own piece of paradise
The sun shined on both of their faces.
On his a shy smile and for her the cute little grin she always had.
While sitting together holding hands that familiar tightness returned to the crotch of his faded denims.
He hated it, yet he loved it.
His manhood slowly grew larger as he blushed.
Her hands tightened on his, she was aware of the effect she was having.
They both came from different places but together on that lookout they were one.
They locked eyes for a moment and she got that fire in her look.

Lessons from grandpa
With tearful eyes and mournful cries I penned a letter.
I did all I could but my life didn't get better.
Later a therapist would diagnose me as depressed.
Saying my symptoms came from memories that had been repressed.
I remember knowing how but struggled with the why.
Session after session I would stare blankly and cry.
Every morning I'd wake up happy to awake.
Your last breath shouldn't have been ours to take.
I guess in our time with you we took so much for granted.
Looking back it's...

Be my reason
Some say love is a lie.
It's a lie we are often told.
You can be my reason to believe until I die.
You can be my love to hold.
Or we can prove they are right and lovers are doomed to fail.
Now that I feel right, without you life will be wrong.
A lonely life would be a living hell.
A soul alone would enlessly wonder along.

Holding your beautiful
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
At least that's what I hear.
I find it true when I'm holding you shoulder to shoulder.
My heart lights up like a lantern when you are near.
Without you I'm all alone.
I want you in my arms at night.
If you can't make it I'll stay by the phone.
I'll never give up you are worth the fight.
With Tears in my eyes.
And pain in my cries.
I'll still miss you day in and out.
When I see you by God I'll shout!
Because my mouth bleats as my...

From love to not
Three words at the top of my mind.
My heart was hurt and my head was numb
Instead of those words I turned unkind.
I was my old self, once again I was dumb.
Like always I spoke without a second to think.
I used to whisper with my hands on your hips.
I knew from happiness to despair I would sink.
I had all the right words at the edge of my lips.
But I chose to say something else instead.
You have a lot of reasons to be mad.
I hope all of...

Knowing what I'm feeling
See, I've got this infatuation.
But I'm not sure what to think, I don't know what to do.
I used to worry about self preservation.
Now I just worry about you.
You came into my life like a scene from a movie.
It's all too much to be real.
You inspire and move me.
When I'm with you it feels surreal.
I know that being with me is no easy task.
But you've put up with me because you are great.
I'm glad you said yes even if it was the second time I had to ask.
But now you are mine....

Something special
I don't care if you don't know where you are going.
Just take me with you when you leave.
So please take me with you when you go.
Because of you I finally believe.
What I believe in is love and trust.
We each have dreams I know it is so.
So follow yours before they turn to dust.
Just know I'll be watching you as you go.
In life there are those who truly make an impact.
For me you are that person sweetheart.
When you left me my heart was in tact.
That was then, but now it's...

The start of something, you
He sat, awkwardly fidgeting with his fingers while he thought of something to say.
His brow furrowed,sweat lining the collar of his shirt, his throat began to swell.
"It really was cute" she said, as if this would console his freshly broken spirit.
He remained plagued with inaction and had no words to express how befuddled his mind had become.
"Everything was going smoothly and I ruined it " he thought as he struggled to replay what had occurred.
Thinking of what he had said for a second time only brought more pain.

A poem for her
It all started with a break up.
She lost her beauty she lost her grace.
Now she is never without makeup.
Constantly wearing her second face.
Even after she picked up the pieces she remained broken.
She met a boy, a gentlemen who said she was beautiful , too bad she wouldn't listen.
The words he said might as well have remained unspoken.
He tried in vain to show her how she glistened.
It is said that when one door closes another open door is presented.
This could be his one shot.
He...

Lynched by love
If I had a wine glass, to you I would toast.
if I had a trophy buck, to you I'd boast.
If I had a knack for writing love stories, for you I would write.
And if I had a boxers frame, for thee I would fight.
But I have no wine so there will not be a cheer
.
I don't have a hunters grace so I'll never shoot a deer.
I haven't got a writers hand so I will write in vain
.
I know not how to fight , It will only cause me pain.
Your love is a noose and I've tied the loops
I've spent my time jumping through...
