Poet Introduction
I've been writing since I was a kid. It's a release for things that tend to get trapped in my head.

Hands of Time
The seconds tick,
The minutes click,
And hours pass on by.
Days fade to weeks,
And weeks to months,
Then years seem just to fly.
Age is just a number, to track
the sense of what we call time.
Life is just a setting, to see what
it is we can come to find.
And at the end of all of this we hope to retain our memories and our minds.
Remember,
The present is what makes us.
The past is what shaped us.
And the future is yet to be defined.

Fated Days
Thank you for being the woman who saw in me what I could not see.
Thank you for always being there to advise me in so many different things.
Thank you for understanding, even when it was clear you probably didn't really understand a thing.
Thank you for loving me unconditionally
and for being the best mom that you could be.
I miss watching you cook breakfast early in the morning as everybody else was still asleep.
I miss visiting just to sit with you in the evenings as you watched your beloved stories.
I miss how you'd get angry and call me every brothers...

Simply Who I Can Be
I .... am still me ....
Even though you can't see,
through my own pain and grief.
I .... still care to be ....
the exact same man you married before becoming a United States Marine,
so many years a go, but listen up lady.
I .... am truly ....
deeply sorry, for there's no ifs or maybes, it's not something that I can change back yet sadly baby.
I wish .... I knew how ....
It's just something that has to be for now.
So I'm .... begging you please ....
Don't yet walk out on me,
cause...

Butterfly Lies
I was taught better; Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
But sadly I admit, I could not be that guy.
Your simplistic beauty stunned me,
And that was just to the naked eye.
Your sex appeal was deeper,
Perhaps that's what made me shy.
I caught you stealing a glance,
And yet my confidence raced me by.
Tongue tied in a whirl of stumbling words just to tell you Hi.
You smiled and that was all it took,
to set the mood and rest my mind.
You said, "Hi, my name's Lori, and yes I'd be delighted to have dinner sometime."
Stunned, I replied, "That's...

In the World of my Lord
The Lord will return you once more,
For his flock we do go astray.
Then I will walk alone no more,
And together we will stay one day.
-Amen

My TooShort, My BiggySmallz, My ShortyLow
I am haunted by things worst then those that go bump in the night.
I tell myself, "In time it will be over, the morning sun will bring me light."
I feel your little fingers tugging at my hand.
I hear your voice whisper, "I love you daddy" over and over again.
Your laughter echos through the night's howling wind.
I can smell your hair with every toss and turn, or roll, in this empty bed.
I tell myself, "How could this be, it's all in my head".
Then I feel your little footsteps running down the hall, when will this torment end?
I...

No Title
We may not be brothers, but there we were, fighting side by side, in a never ending war.
The blood we shed, and the tears that fall, will not bring back those missing from the roster when called.
Time will tell, the stories of Heros who stood so tall.
But only you and I will know, how it is to be in a chaotic free fall.
I still feel the hurt when I heard you scream in pain.
How time stood still as bullets whistled our names.
An orchestrated symphony is how I choose to remember those days.
Like Beethoven Overture, except bloody and stained.

Letter Paintings
When letters become words, and words become pain.
This is how sentences hurt, and paragraphs are phrased.
Stories are told, and will forever torcher the soul.
Thus is the mind, when it is allowed to over flow.

Time Traveler's Poem
As I lay myself down to sleep,
I remind myself of times, at which, I was so weak.
No man, Nor God was there when life seemed so bleak.
And for that, my soul alone, is mine to keep.
So Sandman, please, soon visit me.
So I may return to visit, my fondest, memories.
For only in dreams can I, do I, am I at peace.
I remind myself of times, at which, I was so weak.
No man, Nor God was there when life seemed so bleak.
And for that, my soul alone, is mine to keep.

For only in dreams can I, do I, am I at peace.

I am...
I am the evil that lives inside of me.
I am the one I fear as time passes and grows quietly near.
For not a soul will ever know of a fallen tear.
Or how the evil carries me far and dear.
Like a love's whisper that will never part from my ear.
I am the creator of all I am.
A sinner and a saint, consciously never clear.
I am the one I fear as time passes and grows quietly near.
For not a soul will ever know of a fallen tear.
Or how the evil carries me far and dear.
Like a love's whisper that will never part from my ear.
I am the creator of all I am.
A sinner and a saint, consciously never clear.

Have You Seen Her
The pain of a woman is what I feel inside.
To think she's alone with no one along her side.
Life is so cruel, why does God let us cry?
The hatred for people creeps back into my mind.
I Love You So Much, Please find me in time.
Ill steadly pace, watch Bobs Burgers and get high.
Squiggly lines.
To think she's alone with no one along her side.
Life is so cruel, why does God let us cry?
The hatred for people creeps back into my mind.

Lord
Thank you for the soul you have sent my way.
Thank you for her beauty that I will not take in vain.
Thank you for the purpose you have layed in my way.
Thank you for the love that she brings me every day.
Thank you for her smile, it seems to ease my pain.
Thank you for laughter, we both needed it the same.
Lord keep her next to me, cause she keeps me still sane.
But do take my anger, my frustation, and my shame.
