Loves Flaming Fire

let me walk by your side
let me feel what you try to hide.
let me see where you have been
from the beginning to the end.

let me feel your aches and pains
let me cover up your shames.
let me be your second skin
so that no harm could ever get in.

let me protect you from the storm
for it is here that i belong.
let my 'loves flaming fire'
fill your heart with desire
the desire to be loved forever more.
for there is so much that i have in store.

i will take your broken heart
and put it together part by part.
i will make it whole again

The Almighty Pen

the pen is mightier than the sword
and stronger than the mightiest men.
with the pen petitions can be signed
it can be accepted, or it can be declined.

the people on death row with no where to go.
they know that the pen can set them free
or put them to death instantly.

you can write your name
or get the autograph of someone of fame.
there are so many things that the pen can do
it all depends on you.

the declaration was written with a pen
the signatures of all those famous men.

for centuries the pen has been used and abused.
it's been used for good and for bad
for happy times, and for sad.

Tears On The Beach

Sitting on the sand gazing at the ocean
Not even a ripple, no type of motion.
It was like my heart, dormant as can be.
So still, so silent waiting patiently.

You said that you loved me
And another there can never be.
But you had a roving eye
Something I did not see.

How easy it is for you to turn on emotions
But to any one person, you have no devotion.
So I just sit here with heavy thoughts and heavy heart
Wondering how we must part.

Your outer beauty attracts people to you
Like a flower attracts a bee
But what you hide deep within
No one person can see.

But One Life

i have but one life to live
and for my LORD- this life i will give.
he has led me through the darkness of night
and showed my soul how to fight.

he was there when i was in despair
where people turned their backs and did not care.
he showed me the true strength that we all have within
to fight the demons that lie in wait
if in him we keep our faith.

he is the water that quenches our thirst
he is the food that we eat first
he is the sun/son that gives us the light
and the one who gives us the stars at night.
he is the one who showed us to forgive
and in my heart will forever live.

he has given us 'free will ' to choose
and it's up to us, if we win or loose.

Teachers Challenge

It's time for the public to open up their eyes
Without the teachers how will our kids survive
What will happen to our children if they
don't have an education
They are the foundation of this great nation.

The teachers all had a dream and a goal
To teach the public young and old.
They had learned early in college
That they must gain daily knowledge.

Every day they challenge their minds
With new knowledge that they find
It does not matter what the topic may be
It all goes down into history.

They work hard at what they do
Teaching our kids and their kids too.
Teaching is not an easy task
not all kids learn that fast.

Mankind United

sitting in the church pew
listening to the priest
all my emotions began to unleash.

listening about all the worlds disasters
and help reaching HAITI so much faster.
people are starting to learn to care
and their feelings they're starting to share.

the LORD has a reason
for the taking of so many lives.

and all of these disasters
for the unity of man
is what he is after.

mankind is starting to act
to the plight of others.
saving children, sisters and brothers
and the fathers and mothers.

Summer Nights

(2/16/12)

It came upon a summers night
The wind was cool, the stars were bright.
Never in her life did she have such a thrill
As she felt her heart start to fill.

The beauties and splendors of the night
Created such a beautiful sight.
There was a feeling of love in the air
Wiping away all troubles and cares.

Music being played in the streets
Children dancing to the beat
Elderly couples walking hand in hand
This was a night that no one planned.

The summer nights tend to set all hearts free
And this is where you want to be.
Looking up at the stars at night

Two On A Fence

sitting in a lounge chair
looking up at the sun.
wondering how and why all of this begun.

it started off simply as not seeing eye to eye
then the words and insults all began to fly.
words can cut deeper and more
than a knife ever could.
but the ego is great
so this is where we stood.

i accepted all the innuendos
and all the casting lies.
i tried to close my mind
but the words continued to fly.

we are like the crows
two sitting on the fence
swaying back and forth
and the wire getting tense.

You Are

You are my days that capture me
You are my nights that set me free.
You are my longings that live inside of me
You are my hopes, my dreams, my fantasies.

You are the air that I breathe
You are my everything.
You are the water for which I thirst
You fill my heart to a point of burst.
I fall asleep and you are
in the corridors of my mind
You are there each and every time.

I caress your face, I touch your hair
We hold hands and I know you care.
I float in the depths of your eyes
I choke, I gasp, and then cry.
How is this possible? How can this be?
That in my life you are my everything.

My Child Beware

my child beware- there are predators
lurking every where.

what are predators you want to know?
they are animals who move very slow.

you will not hear them when they
sneak up on you
like a lion with the deer it slew.

unlike the lion, these are two legged creatures
that have all our human features.
they smile and talk, and laugh
the same as me and you.
but there is something that
they want to do.

they want to steal you away from
your family and friends
and will continue to try to the very end,
