Love...

2011-04-07T12:41:00.000-07:00

Love fills my heart
Love makes me bold
Love makes me say,
to have and to hold

Love opens my eyes
allows me to see
Love breaks my chains
Love sets me free

Love gives me wings
so I feel I can fly
Love makes me live
Love will never die

Love heals my soul
my pain and my tears
Love helps overcome
my biggest fears

Love gives me a passion
like the like of the sun
It can't be extinguished
and won't be undone

Love's always kind
Love never forgets
Love never hurts
Love never regrets

Lost in you

2011-04-07T12:39:00.000-07:00

Your smile is my sunshine
warming my every day
Your eyes are pools of midnight
making me lose my way

Your heart is soft and kind
but full of passion and fire
You're beauty is like no other
You're every mans desire

You touch my heart,
my soul. my mind
make me forget my troubles
with your words so kind

I hope to know you better
the real you, not the fake
If you choose to trust me
it won't be a mistake

Angel

2009-10-16T10:37:00.000-07:00

She wakes up and gets ready
all dressed up and no place to go
her job is to be sexy
The ones who see her will never know

the girl that I see
when I look into her eyes
The delicate angel
beneath the disguise

The girl next door
with the breath-taking smile
the who for a kiss from
I would gladly walk a mile.

She set a burning flame
deep with in my soul
It keeps me up all night
wondering, "Can I make her whole?"

All my already written poems....Sorry if it's too long!

The Greatest

You said I was the greatest,
I was your everything.
Just when I felt I could fly
you went and broke my wings.

Our love was meant to last.
It would bend but never break
but I would always give
and you would always take.

My heart is broken now.
You stomped it in to dirt.
Tears in my eyes, I look away,
so you can't see me hurt.

You broke me into pieces
when you walked away that day.
I did everything for you.
My love you did betray.

I will soon get better.
My heart will heal again.
One day you're going to miss me.
Then you will feel my pain.

Seasons Change

Remember dancing in the rain
as we sang our favorite song?
watching stars in the sky
waiting for the dawn.

Remember skinny dipping
to get away from summer's heat?
Waiting for a breeze,
warm sand beneath our feet.

Remember walking hand in hand
the leaves changing, green, yellow, red?
noticing their beauty
not that soon they would be dead.

I remember the lonely winter
always thinking of your face,
wishing it was spring again
so I could feel your warm embrace.

Father

He held me in the nursery,
a big smile on his face.
He pulled me ever close to him,
wrapping me in his embrace.

The day I learned to walk
was the first time I saw him cry.
He held on to that moment.
He knew time would fly by.

He taught me how to tie my shoes
and how to throw a ball.
He was always there to pick me up
whenever I would fall.

He would reward me when I did good,
spank me when I was bad.
He was always there with love though.
Rarely did he get mad.

He taught me how to be strong,
honest, straight, and true.
I learned that if I act like this
I will always make it through.

I am thankful for my dad,
that he taught me all these things.
I bet he was even more than man.
I'm sure he had angel wings.

Together

On the beach together
walking hand in hand
At a raging concert,
dancing to the cover band.

Together through the bad times
together in the good ones too.
Reaching for the clouds
breaking every taboo.

Making love so close
with every breath taking you in.
being ever close to you
my hands upon your skin

I always feel so high
when you smile at me that way.
I am always hungry.
Your love is my buffet.

I'd be with you forever
or even just an hour.
Every time I hold you close
my soul you do empower.

The Painter

My love is like an artist
my brushes are my hands
I'm like an old explorer
discovering new lands

My paint, my kisses
favorite color, red
Your body is my canvas,
I'll lay out on the bed

I will paint you slowly,
with soft, feathered strokes
When I kiss you so sweetly
you soft moan do I coax

Your skin, soft like velvet
melts with the touch of my lips
Exploring you ever so gently
from your neck to the curve of your hips

You grab my arms, pull me close,
I can feel your body heat
I look in your eyes and see yearning,
My masterpiece is nearly complete.

Cheating Song

The rain is falling down
I can feel it on my face.
It washes away all my tears,
But my heart is still a waste.

The cleansing rain coming down,
Tries so hard to heal my heart.
It lays in pieces on the ground,
It’s broken all apart.

I stand there and I wonder,
Then I crumble to the ground.
Did she ever really love me?
Why did she kick me while I’m down?

She took a heart I thought was hard
and she softened it with her touch.
She molded it and made it new,
Didn’t think I could feel this much.

I put her on a pedestal,
For what she’d done for me.
She renewed my hope in love,
And made me shout with glee.

Just when I thought she’s perfect,
When I thought she can do no wrong.
She took my heart and broke it,
While she sang her cheating song.

What Remains

I've been burned
I've been scarred.
Now I'm only left with remnants,
my heart charred.

It's only just a small thing,
a little piece of me.
but, it's ever so important
with the ability to set me free

I'm closed off and I'm broken
but you find the way to my heart.
You hold it in your gentle hands,
I feel my love kick start.

If I can only heal it.
I can't do it all alone.
I feel it renewed a little bit
every time you call me on the phone.

Each time I see you face,
Each time I feel your touch.
I can feel the freedom coming,
I can't hold back too much.

I let the feelings flow,
hope they're no too much to handle.
It's always dark when I'm alone,
glad you're here to light my candle.

Love and Flowers

New love is like a flower,
so fragile and so tender.
Don't forget to water everyday,
and never ever bend her.

Can't bend new love with our lies,
or our cheating ways.
If we nurture this special love,
it will last for all our days.

The flower grows so slowly,
no need to rush it along.
We won't rush new love either,
or else she'll do us wrong.

Plant a flower in bad soil,
and it will surely die.
Love the wrong person for you,
and all you'll do is cry.

Make sure the soils good and fertile,
before you plant the flower.
Do the same with love my friend,
and you'll feel loves awesome power.

Untitled

There is a deep hole in the ground,
where all you can see is black.
Once you fall into this deep dark hole,
it seems there's no coming back.

It's so lonely down here,
there's no one to see.
I feel closed in, can't really breathe,
why isn't any one helping me?

I claw at the walls of this bottomless pit,
trying so hard to get out.
but it doesn't matter what I do,
kick, scream, cry, yell, or shout.

I finally give up, start to relax,
I can get used to this night.
No one could help me out of this hole,
no one could here my plight.

There's a light up above, calling to me,
my soul is completely at peace.
The light is so bright, I hear angels,
My body cries, " Oh sweet release"

Support the Troops

American, Australian, British,
Korean and Italian too.
Our boys have been through hell man
and they did it all for you.

Doesn't matter if they're yellow,
brown, red, black, or white.
They fight this filthy war,
so we can sleep at night.

Forget about the governments,
the underhanded politics.
They aren't the ones who are dying,
they're only throwing bricks.

Our boys didn't choose this war
any more than you did.
If they really had a choice,
violence they would forbid

We're losing a generation
of healthy upright men.
While governments fight over
who, what, why, where and when.

I hope this war will soon be over.
I hope it's coming to an end.
It's time to bring our boys home.
It's time to let them mend.

So remember in your daily life
just jumping through the hoops.
Our men are dying over there,
so please support the troops.

Loving Me

The moon is shining brightly,
the stars, they seem to glow.
Whenever you're here next to me,
The night sky doesn't seem so hollow.

The morning shower's warmer,
flowers have a sweeter smell.
When I have you near me,
It's like I'm under your spell.

I don't know what you do to me,
but you make my world complete.
Is it something in your amazing eyes,
or the smile that's always so sweet?

I know my life is good now,
without you, where would I be?
My life used to be so empty,
thank you for loving me.

Alone

When I sleep at night
all that's in my mind,
is will my love be sweet,
compassionate and kind?

I've looked my whole life through,
will I ever find my lady?
When I ask God, "Is this the time?"
he always answers, "Maybe."

When I am at my lowest point
and I am feeling down
I wonder, "Is he laughing at me?
Am I his personal clown?"

Somewhere along the way,
I realize in the night
It is not God who is at fault,
it is MY lack of might.

I feel the sadness slip away
and in its place is hope.
I know that I can find my love,
til then I can just cope.

I search for her all day and night.
I search for every hour.
And after all my searching is done
I've found my precious flower.

She's everything I thought
a woman needs to be.
She's beautiful sweet and kind.
She means the world to me.

I kiss her lips, I hold her close,
as we dance ever slow.
I hold her close, I promise,
I will never let her go.

Now soon we're getting married,
my heart it beats so fast.
I pray a little prayer to God,
"O Lord I hope this lasts."

We've been together two years now,
our first child's on the way.
We still love each other just as much
as we did on our wedding day.

John's going off to college now.
I know that he'll be alright.
He's going to be an engineer,
I know his future's bright.

It's forty years since the day,
I saw that twinkle in her eye.
We had her funeral today.
Why did she have to die?

I stood in front of loved ones.
I said a special prayer.
I told her, "Will you wait for me?
for I will be soon be there."

We begin our life alone,
and it ends just the same.
If you don't live in the middle,
it's you who are to blame.

Priceless

Her hair is black as night.
Her eyes, they almost match.
Any man who chases her will find,
She’s almost impossible to catch.

She is a natural beauty,
Just like the girl next door.
She will woo you with her eyes,
And leave you wanting more.

A heart like hers is special,
Kind, soft, warm, and tender.
She’ll know if you are really true,
Or just another pretender.

In love she will be careful,
She’s slow to show her cards,
But once you’ve won her over,
You’ll forever have her heart.

Remember, always treat her
Like she’s a priceless vase.
Her heart is easily broken,
and impossible to replace.

Cold City

I walk around this city,
there are people all around.
So much human contact
but no happiness to be found.

In this city full of people
loneliness is everywhere.
The people are so sad.
The have no smile to spare.

How can we live like this,
just “rats” caught in a race?
With wealth, poverty, murder, rape,
how can we keep this pace.

This city life is cold,
the people colder still.
Is this the way life's supposed to be,
or is there a better deal?

Broken Soldier

Here I am in this foreign land.
All that I see around me is sand.
I'm here to kill men I do not know.
I don't think I'll ever understand.

I came here just a simple man,
no different from you
but things that I must do here
will change me through and through.

I live through all the killing,
of other acts I can not speak.
The nightmares keep me from sleeping,
“Dear Lord, I feel so weak.”

I know the cost of war now,
even though I did not die.
When I think of what we had to do
I'm left always asking, “Why?”

I didn't go to war for me,
I went to serve my country.
Now I really know why they say,
“freedom isn't free.”

Perfect Enough

I used to think I needed
a perfect, “special” lady
of who and what she'd be like
and how I'd call her baby.

She's be generous and kind,
beautiful, honest, and caring.
She would have my full attention
and always catch me staring.

She would never let me down.
She would never break my heart.
I knew that when I found her,
surely we would never part.

I searched my whole life through,
looking for my cutie.
Now I know I'll never find her,
until I realize life's true beauty.

It doesn't matter what she looks like.
It matters how she makes me feel.
Just being happy with one another.
That's how I'll know it's real.

I want to wake up next to her,
to laugh the day away.
As long as she's here next to me
everything will be okay.

She's not the picture of gorgeous,
but who can really be?
I know she's not perfect,
but she's perfect enough for me.

Love Fades

It's 3 am, I wake up,
I wonder where you are.
I get up, look out the window,
of course there is no car.

Said you'll be late again,
but how late could it be?
Is it really work this time,
or have you stopped loving me?

It's 4 o'clock, I'm sitting here,
as you walk through the door.
I look at you, I'm crying,
“I can't do this any more.”

“I know that you've been cheating,
that you've stopped being true.
The only problem here for me
is that I'm still in love with you.”

I get up to go, she says, “Don't leave,
what about this commitment that we've made?”
I say, “how did we get here?
How did our sweet love fade?”

She says, “Let's just work though it.
Nothing will get in our way.”
I say, “You know I could never leave you.
Our love is here to stay.”

Priceless Treasure

My heart is deep and caring,
but it's always in disguise.
I hide it in a deep dark place,
far away from prying eyes.

It longs to have the taste of love,
to feel it is complete.
So I keep it locked in a box
modest and discreet.

I buried the box in a secret place,
then I map I drew.
Every since I've Known you
I've given every clue.

The map is not on paper,
for it is in my soul.
Lead right where it takes you
and you will surely make me whole.

The treasure in the box
is priceless and unique.
You know it's much more precious
than any old antique.

My heart will open all it's doors
to a heart that's good and true.
I kneel and pray every night
that he'll lead me straight to you.

Loneliness

Loneliness is a shadow,
falling across the land.
Love is a foreign place
from which I'll always be banned.

It's hard to get out of bed;
hard to eat my food.
I want so much to do something,
but I'm never in the mood.

I yearn for human touch.
I need it oh so bad.
If I don't soon get the cure for this,
I'm sure that I'll go mad.

Just when I'm at my lowest,
when I know it can't get worse.
A new person comes in to my life
and breaks this awful curse.

Oh look, the clouds are breaking.
The sun is shining through.
I can finally see the light of day,
because of the smile from you.

Best Friends

I didn't wake up this morning
cause I didn't sleep last night.
I couldn't get you out of my mind
even though you're out of site.

Don't know how to breach this subject
but my feelings are so true.
I'm thinking of how to tell you,
“I'm falling head over heels for you.”

I've known many women
who were sensitive and kind
but I know what they were lacking;
your spirit heart, soul, and mind.

I know that we are friends now
and that lights my every day.
Best friends make best lovers.
At least that's what they say.

You know what's in my heart now.
You know just what I feel.
No matter what you choose to do
I want you to know my love is real.

Silent Heart

A new day is dawning,
my life coming together.
Living in the “now”
getting glimpses of forever.

Realizing what I can be,
not enamored with who I am.
Peace, welcome to my life.
Good riddance, constant bedlam.

What is this new feeling?
Excited, nervous, confused
Holding back the flood gates
for fear that I'll be used.

I can't wade in these emotions
there's no in between.
Either give in completely
or walk away unseen

I can't be half loved,
half-liked, half despised
I'll speak not what I feel
and leave my love disguised.

Truly Blessed

The way you smell, the way you smile
these are things I want to know
the way you taste, the way you feel,
when we are dancing slow.

The way you look in to my eyes
the way it makes me feel
When I see the love with in your heart
I'll know our bond is sealed.

I see our future in my mind
I can feel it in my soul
the house, the kids, the car, the boat,
but it's our love that makes it whole.

I'm truly blessed to have found you.
You are what I really need.
If I ever lose you
I am sure my heart will bleed.

Last Chance

You went away today
left me here to cry
don't care about my feelings
wouldn't even notice if I die.

You come over to “make love”
then barely say goodbye.
Say with me you'll share your body
but love you won't supply.

It's only when you want me
the only time I get the call
I'm hanging on a cliff face
trying not to fall.

You know not what you're doing,
how you're hurting me.
If you don't want to love me
then simply set me free.

I'm through with this, it's over.
Hope you know you blew your chance.
My heart has run away now
It's looking for a new place to dance.

Undone

Her eyes are dark as night
but shine brighter than the sun.
When I think of her
my world just comes undone.

She makes me smile.
She makes me laugh.
When she's not around
I feel I'm only half.

Doesn't matter if it's cold
or a hot summer day.
She'll never need to doubt me
for my love will never stray.

I'll just hold out my hand,
wait for her to take it
put my heart in her care
and hope she never breaks it.

Hero

I want to hold your hand.
I want to touch your face.
I want to touch my lips
to every secret place.

I want to be the man
you fall asleep with every night,
the man you wake up next to,
I'll be your Mr. Right.

I want to hold you when you cry
and wipe away your tears.
I'll be your great protector
and chase away your fears.

I love you even more
than you will ever know
and with every day
my love will surely grow.

Waiting

I wait for you each day.
When will you be here
so I can take your hands in mine
and pull you ever near?

I think of you each morning.
You're even in my dreams.
When will you finally give in
and decide to be my queen?

How do I show you that I care?
How do I show you what I feel?
How do I explain these emotions?
Knowing you is so surreal.

I know not what to say.
I know not what to do.
The only thing I really know
is that I'm head over heels for you.

So if you think of me each morning
and I do these things to you
we can finally be together
and have a love that's true.

SH*T

Life is always shit.
Nothing ever changes.
Where do I trade this one in?
Know the way to life exchanges?

Always alone, never fulfilled,
what the f*ck am I doing here?
Every day is filled with loneliness
every night is sleepless fear.

Haven't had a good night's sleep
in almost four years now.
Can't take this crap much longer
This life I disavow.

Maybe it would have been better
if I had died over there.
Really, who would have missed me?
Who would really care?

You

Your smile always brings the light
to an otherwise gloomy day.
Your eyes, so bright, affect me
in a completely different way.

Your heart it is so special,
so charitable and true.
Loving, sweet, gentle, caring,
these are words that describe you.

You truly are a lady,
almost never a bad thing to say.
Your actions are like your heart,
kindness they always display.

You're a truly special woman.
You are the finest catch.
I truly hope you meet the man
who will be your perfect match.

Two

Two smiles shine so bright.
Two hearts intertwined.
No words can do them justice.
Their love can't be defined.

Two people dancing close,
drowning in each others eyes.
Knowing they'll be happy,
together all their lives.

It won't always be easy.
They knew it from the start.
Their love will overcome this
and they will never part.

She makes him feel complete,
makes him feel something new.
He'll never let her go
and always prove his love is true.

Complete

One eye green
one eye brown
you turn my world
upside down

Waited my whole life
to feel this way.
Had my heart locked up
now it's on display.

I had no direction,
no hope, no dreams.
When I see your smile
I see what life really means.

It's about finding your soul mate
a truly miraculous feat.
Living life together
with the one that makes me complete.

Jester

Your eyes burn so deep,
seeing into my soul.
Your soothing smile, soft and sweet,
melts my heart of coal.

I close my eyes and think of you,
my princess with no crown.
I am your court jester,
making you smile whenever you're down.

You're always the perfect picture
of sweet serenity.
No matter how my day has been
you always bring peace to me.

You make me smile and laugh,
make it safe to feel once more.
Your laugh, your heart, your hair,
these are things I do adore.

I wish I knew the words to say
of how you make me feel.
I could speak of love and friendship
in these words true feelings are concealed.

I smile, I'm warm,
each time I see your smile.
I feel complete when you are here.
Come with me and stay awhile.

Johnny

I wake up in the night
to a familiar sound.
I jump out of my cot
then right back on the ground.

Mortars are coming again.
Getting tired of this attack
Johnny's laying on the ground
missing half his back.

Running for the berm,
searching for my foe.
If only I can find him now,
death may I bestow.

Rage is taking over,
no chance of rational thought.
Thinking about dead buddies,
I become distraught

The mortars stop, some one got them,
then reality sets in.
Go back to my tent now
and pick up my dead friend.

Our foe is fighting for his land.
What are we doing here?
So many explanations offered,
none of them are clear.

I know why I first came here,
to help set people free.
What I did not realize is
they're not suited for democracy.

Second Chance

Walking down the street today
I saw you across the way.
You with him again
much to my dismay.

I remember when that was me,
holding you hand, walking down the street
but our relationship was cracked
just like this old concrete.

I never gave the effort
never gave my heart to you.
You did everything for me
but I only made you blue.

What a fool I was
to not know what I possessed
Your love for me was full, sincere
wish I had passed the test.

If only I had a second chance
love songs I would compose
and never make you sorry,
that I'm the one you chose.

Hope this new guy's good to you
and always treats you right.
Cause if he don't, then I'll be there
riding in like your shining Knight.

Stay

Green eyes
Blonde hair
Can't be helped
Have to Stare

Soft skin
Sweet Smell
Can not speak
Just as well

Pink cheeks
Bright smile
Have a seat
Stay awhile

Smooth voice
Sharp mind
Stole my heart
Love is blind

Sunsets and Poems

Love...

Lost in you

Angel

All my already written poems....Sorry if it's too long!
