Blindfold

this is the time in my life
when all i see is you.
a time in my life, when
i don't know what to do.

you touched my life like no one could
and my life turned from light to dark blue.

what will it take for you to love me?
there is so much more to me
than the human eye can see.

my love for you is like the light
yellow moon, rising in the east
and like the bright orange sun
going down in the west.
24 hours in all its glory
this is my love, this is my story.

Thru The Eyes Of A Spouse

I recall the nights that I laid in bed
With the pillow propped under my head.
Looking at this woman lying next to me
And how our love came to be.

Problems we have had our share
But for each other we’ve always been there.
Life makes love difficult to cope with
It pulls and yanks at your heart
Trying to tear the walls apart.

You struggle every day to make a life
You just want things easier for you and your wife.
There are times you feel like you’re drowning
And gasping for air, and people
see you but they don’t care.
They are going thru life the same as you
And they don’t know just what to do.

So you resign yourself to the fact

Homework

homework again?
will this drudgery ever end?
what do they expect from someone like me
when i don't even know my a, b, c, s.

teachers tell me that i will fail.
and that they see me going to jail.
that i have no ambition.

i can't afford college tuition!

but i know that i must learn
otherwise my life will forever turn.
in this life there is no other way
so i must listen to what they say.

i must take away this negativity
just so that the teachers can see
that there is some hope for me.

It Does Not Matter #2

it does not matter- if you're getting old
it does not matter- if you're skin and bones
it does not matter-if you're old and gray
it does not matter-if you go or stay
it does not matter- what people say
it does not matter-living day to day

the only thing that matters, is that
you're alive today
and you'll fight whatever comes your way.

never give up on yourself
for you have no one else.
age is with us to contend
age is something that is not your friend.

it does not matter- if you had a good life
it does not matter- if you're contrite.

no one really knows the true life you've led

I Look At Life Differently

(3/30/12)

We all look at life in different ways
Most keep quite, while others have things to say.
I am not a vocalist - I am a writer as you can see
Politics don't interest me.

I write about things that I see and feel
Some are fiction, some are real.
There are many different forms of expression all around
Some with silence, many with sound.

Every time that I walk out of my door
There is so much that I'm grateful for
A roof over my head, a bed in which to sleep
And food to eat.

Yet there are so many questions in my mind
So many answers I've yet to find.
So many places I've yet to see

Woman In Control

Woman in control 3/24/07

To all the woman who enjoy poetry
My words are here to set you free.
I can climb into your heart and soul
And release all the emotions that you hold.

Feelings that have been locked up inside
Feelings that you try to hide.
All the words that you want to say.
Yet! Never find the way.

Always relish the thought that you are like mother earth.
Brought into this world to show the beauty
And love that you posses
And for you it’s an endless test.

Your beauty is deep within your soul
It is a beauty in which you learned to control.
You can make the bad look good

My Daily Walk With GOD

i did my walk today
a mile and a half each way
it may not be much to the younger generation
but! it fills me with exhilaration.

the walk opens my mind so it can see
all the beauties that GOD gave to me.

and as i do my daily walk
people will stop to talk
we'll talk about the beauty of the day
and it seems that time slips away.

when i get back to the house
i have a confrontation with my spouse.
'what took you so long, and where did you go
or is it that you're walking slow'

the arguing is not a beauty to me
it is just a mystery.

Eyes Will Tell

without your love my dearest i would surely die
for when we met my feelings started to rise.
they started at a slow but steady pace
and then they took off; running their own kind of race.

i know that you felt what i was feeling too!
by the way your eyes looked at me.
our eyes interlocked and the feelings started to grow.
much more than you could or will ever know.

you tried to take your look away from me
just so that my eyes could'nt see.
that blushing glow, was because of what?
you felt it deep inside
were you feeling something dear?
of what your eyes were unable to hide?

now when we look into each others eyes
all we could see is the depth of love inside.

Fighting The Devil

When we argue - I must concede
Because on this the devil feeds.
The devil gets his greatest sensation
When he disrupts any relation.

He is there waiting for the spark to ignite
So we can begin to fight.
He knows that love can conquer all
And waits for us to weaken so we can fall.

Like a lion waiting for its prey
In the bush he will lay.
The devil has many stomping grounds
And you never know when he's around.

His greatest victory is when we go astray
And to GOD we no longer pray.
Yet he can not tell what's in the heart of man
When we decide to take a stand.

Three

(02/25/12)

The word three and why it means so much to me:
Have you ever really thought about the three?
And how it can affect you and me.

How it has been passed down thru time
And helped people see who were going blind
And who could not see what was in front of them
Even when it was a relative or friend.

Let me just put things in the perspective
That has entered my mind, and has been
There for a very long time.

#1) the father, the son, the holy ghost
#2) the three nails in both hands and feet
#3) the three kings at the birth of CHRIST
#4) land, sea, sky
#5) man, woman, child
