POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
....I just write rhymes, not a poet.
No More
I've tried to fight the pain inside
but nothing seems to work
So today will be my final day
the end to all this hurt
I can't escape this misery
or hide the way I feel
So Death is all that's left for me
the only thing that's real
Is there anyone who hears my cries
or are they silent shouts
Does anybody see my pain
or know what their about
Will Death relieve this tortured soul
and set my spirit free
Or will I be a shadow
of the man I use to be
Only time will truly tell, though...

Memories Past
The agonies of memories past
entreat within my mind
I struggle with the pleas of self
to dispel them all in kind
Never shall I find the peace
which grants a kindred soul
For presently I battle demons
who wish to take control
I hesitate for but a moment
wondering where to turn
And as each passing day goes by
the countless embers burn
Must I swelter in the heat
of endless tortured flames
Or shall I conquer and prevail
to rise above the pain
Will Death relinquish all it's hold ...

Times Forgot
We hold each moments in our hearts
for how long shall they last
If time forgets the distant thoughts
of precious memories past
Then never could the ones we share
completely fade away
Since all my thoughts consist of you
with every single day
Like thoughts of us, your gently touch
and when you smile at me
The love you give is beautiful
so filled with honesty
I thank the Lord for bringing you
into my lonely life
And giving me such heart felt joy
when you became my wife
Your love...
for how long shall they last
If time forgets the distant thoughts
of precious memories past
Then never could the ones we share
completely fade away
Since all my thoughts consist of you
with every single day
Like thoughts of us, your gently touch
and when you smile at me
The love you give is beautiful
so filled with honesty
I thank the Lord for bringing you
into my lonely life
And giving me such heart felt joy
when you became my wife
Your love...

Surrender
I hear the voice of whispered dreams,
Which echoed long ago
The distant thunder shakes the ground,
As the fear within me grows
The voice approaches steadily,
As fires form in Its wake
I turn to flee on legs of stone,
Theres no more I can take
The world beneath me opens up,
As struggling...I run
But mournful cries of tortured souls,
Has only just begun
I force myself to continue on,
As terror fills my mind
With fear and hope my only friends,
I pray that I'll survive
Hands of Death have...

Fears For Tomorrow
When darkness falls across the sky
my fears hope for tomorrow
With dreams that soar like eagles fly
through peace and painful sorrow
As love remembers better times
and memories filter through
All these thoughts that fill my mind
I wonder which are true
I toss and turn as nightmares rage
with terror in the night
With horror etched upon my face
I fear no end in sight
Through space and time I search for you
my shelter in the storm
You gave me strength to carry through
I couldn't ask for more ...
my fears hope for tomorrow
With dreams that soar like eagles fly

As love remembers better times

All these thoughts that fill my mind

I toss and turn as nightmares rage
with terror in the night
With horror etched upon my face
I fear no end in sight
Through space and time I search for you
my shelter in the storm
You gave me strength to carry through
I couldn't ask for more ...

The Future's End
I travel down this fated road
my future carved in stone
It seems I'm destined in this life
to walk it all alone
There's no one who can feel my pain
or know my misery
I wait for Death to take my hand
since nothing's left for me
My tortured soul keeps searching for
the comfort in the end
Since loneliness and emptiness
have been my only friend
The peace of mind within myself
can never be replaced
I long to feel the gentle touch
within It's warm embrace
Will the whispering still echo ...

Only In My Dreams
Each night I get to hold you tight
If only in my dreams
You wrap your love around my heart
While lying next to me
To say I love you is not enough
It's more than just these words
It goes beyond one single thought
And anything you've heard
I watch the moonlight touch your face
As I gently kiss your cheek
I wonder if its me you see
When you're smiling in your sleep
Although this dream will surely end
And I know I'll have to wake
With all the ways you've touched my heart
Its more than I can take
...

Shadows In The Dark
With peace a distant memory
and love so far removed
I fear I must retreat inside
the sanctum of my tomb
As tortured voices call to me
I ponder at the door
Shall I release my hold on life
of this I must implore
Since forgiveness seems so silent
and my sorrows seem so loud
My thoughts escape detection as
I face the maddening crowd
But hope remains my company
as darkness turns from light
All my dreams have disappeared
like birds who've taken flight
I marvel at the mysteries
which...

Painful Memory
I never will forget the day
my world came crashing down
It happened out on highway 6
just right outside of town
My wife and I were headed home
after dinner and a show
When a truck who crossed the center line
gave me nowhere else to go
When I hit the ditch doing 65
all I heard was Tammy scream
Everything around me slowed
like I'd stepped into a dream
We must have rolled at least 3 times
though I'm sure that it was more
Then I asked my wife if she was hurt
as I opened up my door
If she...

Love Is...
Love is giving all you have
to make their life complete
And never making promises
you don't intend to keep
Love is sometimes letting go
in hopes that they'll return
And if it wasn't meant to be
hold on to what you've learned
Love is being by their side
no matter what the cost
For without them your hopes
and dreams are all but lost
Love is sometimes all we have
in a world so dark and cold
And need a place to warm ourselves
with someone there to hold
Love is having everything
when...

True Lies II
I remember it all clearly now,
The words he spoke to me
They all came from this bird I saw,
Sitting high up in that tree
At first I thought I'd lost my mind,
Just listening to this bird
But not too long into his tale,
I hung on every word
The tale that he relayed to me,
Was filled with drugs and crime
And ended with a friend of his,
In prison doing time
It started in a park he said,
Just a couple of years ago
He never named the park he meant,
But said that I would know
His friend was...

Was filled with drugs and crime
And ended with a friend of his,
In prison doing time
It started in a park he said,
Just a couple of years ago
He never named the park he meant,
But said that I would know

I Wish
I wish I could have brought you joy
but instead I've brought you grief
And broke your heart with promises
that were just beyond my reach
I wish I could take back those words
which caused you so much pain
And replaced them with the memories
where only love remains
I wish I could make dreams come true
so you could wish on every star
And embrace the magic on the night
you hold within your arms
I wish I could have taken time
to wipe away your tears
And surround your heart with happiness
to alleviate your...
