Sleep Easy

2012-02-15T09:23:00.001-05:00

I can sleep easy
With you next to me
I can dream of peace
With you beside me
I can achieve my goals
When we're side by side
I can change the world
Because of your smile

Destiny awaits us in a far a way land and the journey together we will take hand in hand

I can feel your heart beating
While we kiss
I can see our future
Within your eyes
I can feel your dreams
When you're in my arms
I can be the one
Who fulfills your needs

And as we walk and explore each-others hearts, I remember that we've been connected from the start

I can sleep easy
When I look at you
I can sleep easy
When I feel you
I can sleep easy
With your soft lips
And I can sleep easy
Because you love me..

The Break Up

2012-01-04T15:47:00.003-05:00

Water pours from the sky
Heavy like the tears from her eyes
As she stands in front of me
And I say my final good bye

I'm sorry..
Are the only words from my lips
As she swears at me
And hits me with her fists

A break up like no other
Another heart I've broken
A story that's been ruined
An incomplete chapter in her soul

And I said..
Why couldn't we be meant to be
Why couldn't you believe in me
Why couldn't you just see
That I need to fulfill a destiny..

And she said..
What about your promises
What about our future
Why are you so selfish
What did I do wrong..

And we stand together
Face to face in the cold
And I turn and walk away
And she reaches for my hand

She pulls me in and we kiss
A feeling I'm going to miss
And I look into her eyes
And say again to her, good bye..

Love Dance

2011-11-07T19:16:00.001-05:00

I was sad..
Until I saw her dance
Then I was lost in her eyes
And the passion from her movement
She swayed side to side
And moved her hand high
While pulling me into her
And I felt like I was next to her..
When she breathes I see the notes
Of the song that she dances to
Now I am caught in her rhythm
I am lost in the feeling

The notes from her lips sparkle in color
Each step she takes looks like she's floating on water
So graceful and soulful as she moves her hands
She is the force that creates a love dance

And it is because of her soul
That I feel connected
That I think she's a blessing
To the entire earth
I am no longer sad
Cause she dances from the heart
And I know that brighter days will come
Cause she is in the world!

Change/ The Introduction

2011-10-27T14:59:00.001-04:00

Just when you feel like you have everything
The wind blows
The stars fall from alignment
The water turns to ice
And you are left with the feeling of nothing

You are at the crossroads to a destiny

A journey you cannot remember

A path you cannot see

But a life you feel in your dreams

Change is a constant in life
And as you try to roll with the punches
You're left with bruises and scars
That remind you of the past

"Brighter days, come to me, please"

You pray each night

While tears flow from you eyes

And you try to keep your head high

While looking towards the sky

Alone and confused with no one to talk to
And no one can understand
The pain that's within you
And what it feels like to lose a lover or daughter or brother and mother

So you push towards the future, alone..

Changing your life and all that you do

And introduce to the world, a new you!

October Love

2011-10-12T03:11:00.002-04:00

Temperature rises & falls as the leaves change colors & drop to the ground. It is within that subtle moment of change when I realize that no one life can remain the same..

We are in constant transition at all times. Forever changing both on the in & outside of these fragile bodies that consume our souls..

True beauty unfolds
but it is never told
to us while we sit
& watch in the cold..

Through laughter & tears
Have no fear
Its better to live now
then wait for what is near..

Month to month & day by day change will be forever with us. October Love stays within our hearts as we layer on another season of fashion..

& it is within a moment of passion that we strive to be better then the one we see in the mirror. & it is within 5 seconds that we can experience a metamorphosis towards our entire life..

As memories stay dormant in the depths of the brain
October Love will always remain
full of joy, thoughts & change..

Sweet Lips

2011-09-19T21:33:00.001-04:00

Sweet lips

I miss her kiss

I miss her eyes

Since she came into my life

As I walk down this path

Like walking on shattered glass

The wounds go deep

Making it harder to dream

Do you know whats on my mind

Since we first kissed

And I felt your soft lips

Pressed against mine

It was how I hoped

That you were different

Not here to use me

But here to heal me

Sweet lips

How I long for her kiss

And to stare in her eyes

And say she is mine

But this kiss

Wasn't meant to be

I was cheated by the moment

And can no longer dream

False Reservation

2011-08-29T20:49:00.004-04:00

Standing in line

For what feels like a lifetime

Hoping &

Wishing &

Praying for you

To notice me

A simple

But lonely boy

From just outside the city

Waiting for the chance

To tango in a dance

With a woman of pure heart &

Of beauty &

Of truth..

Waiting patiently

For you to glimpse in this direction

So our eyes can meet

At which point

You'd fall in love with me

Then our dreams would be complete

As easy as counting

1..

2.. &

3..

I believe that ALL love

Can be free

I reserve this seat for you

At the table of my heart

A place for you to be a queen

A spot for us to dream

Soul food can fill us &

I'm sure that's all we need

.. But sadly for us

Our eyes never meet

So this lonely boy

From outside the city

Leaves his dreams at the table &

Walks out of the line..

Heart vs Mind

2011-08-15T17:52:00.003-04:00

The heart knows

What the mind does not..

Dreams flow like a river
Love grows just like flowers
And destiny is always right in front of you..

When you are in love!

***
The mind knows
What the heart does not..

Lessons learned from past to present
Fear diminishes within seconds
And the truth is always just around the corner..

When you are wise!

***
And as we grow
All that we know
All that we experience
Changes our perspective
Allowing us to grow
Into newer souls
Cold or heartless
In a priceless world

And still..
I follow my heart!

Three Poems About Love

2011-08-03T00:48:00.002-04:00

Miles Apart

Only 5000 miles away
But during this rainy day
My mind cannot take
The sorrow and pain
Of being away from you
And if you only knew
What was in my heart
We would no longer be apart
And you would come home to me
Where you belong..

What Was Once Our Love

People are talking
About what was once our love
Beauty and harmony
Peace and love for all to see
It is now gone..
Second chances come along
Rekindle the light
No longer does she shine bright
And the tears left on the pavement
..They fade away

Actions Over Words

Jump.. Fly..
Ascend to the sky
Show them what love is..
Reply with actions
While they ask with words
Do what you must
To prove your worth
And to show them that they are everything..

A Creation of Hope

2011-07-19T02:39:00.002-04:00

The time to achieve
The time to believe
The time to succeed with all your hopes and dreams.. Is now

Why wait for another day
Why delay and hesitate
When you can do
And be
Anything you desire
Feel free and believe
That you have the power

Creation is within you
Destiny is a choice
And you can create and make the destiny you desire

Let it burn
Like a fire
Deep in your soul
And know
And believe
In the power of your world

And it starts with your thoughts
It starts in the mind
Imagination is the key to your influential beliefs

Feel free
To dream
And you will see
That life is whatever you design it to be..

Beautiful Soul

2011-07-11T12:32:00.002-04:00

Time changes all except one thing
My love
As I gaze into her brown eyes
I realize
That no amount of time has changed the feelings I have inside

Each moment is one of beauty

As we sit

As we dance

As I hold her soft hands

I feel her beautiful soul in all that we do

It's in her kiss
From such lovely lips
That lifts me high
Towards the sky
A feeling I know
I need for my soul
To help me ascend
And inspire the world

Time is an illusion

When you are in love

The days can fly by

And it will never seem like enough

And when I am with her
The feeling is complete
A still moment
Which is a gift
From heaven to me
And I see
The true beauty
In all that she is
An angel with divine purpose
The beauty the world needs

Each moment is one of beauty

As we talk

As we laugh

As I hold her in my arms

Her beautiful soul shines through all that we do

Heatwave

2011-07-04T12:18:00.002-04:00

Heatwave on a summer day

I become a slave to your desires

As our lips touch and our bodies meet

We feel the heat of each other

Sweat drips as we kiss like this
And we cannot pull away from the moment

Time goes by as we share our sinful tricks and you merge me deeper into you

Feeling alive and high as I look in your eyes

Being lost by the passion of your voice

And it's a choice to be around you any other day

But during this heatwave I am a slave to only you

Street Beat on a Rainy Day

2011-06-27T10:51:00.001-04:00

My fingers tap the glass

On a dark afternoon

In the month of June

And I remain amused

By the rain falling down

Tapping the ground

With a rhythm that is heard

Speaking louder than any words

My feet tap to the beat

My mind is at ease

As the rain falls down

And people dance in the street

Rainy days

Fade away

The sorrow that lies within

Waiting for you..

2011-06-20T10:44:00.001-04:00

In all the time I've known you
I've never known anyone to match your beauty
Your eyes and your smile
Have kept me in love with you since we were back in high school

Never have I known someone so gentle and caring to those around her..
Never have I met someone so strong and determined to make her dreams come true..

From the beginning
It's always been you..

I sit here glancing these photos of you
Hoping that I will see you again soon
Wishing that I could hear your voice
For I know, we belong together

Pretty girl
Give me your heart
And I'll cherish it
Forever

Pretty girl
You'll have my trust
And our love will last
Forever

I can picture me looking into your eyes for a thousand more lifetimes
And until it's our time
To love again
I wait for you

The Love of a Moment

2011-06-13T10:36:00.001-04:00

We drink in the moment

And these bottles keep coming
Sooner than later we are tipsy
Enjoying the night

Enjoying each other

Taking in what life has to offer

Joy does not escape us
Colours blend together
Flashing lights get brighter
As we head to the dance floor
And we dance and sweat
During a night we'll never forget

The digital watch on my wrist
Tells me it's 1:30 am
Last call is around the corner
As we make our way to the counter
Another drink, another empty bottle
Another moment of life

It's a surprise each time
While I look in your eyes
With my blurry vision
And only you on my mind
And the simple things in life truly are free
Like laughter and friends and destiny

It is free for the taking
Just like this moment with you
As we head back to the floor
And dance a little bit more
Until the music shuts down
And the DJ goes home

And now we leave this club more in love than before..

Half Bottle

2011-06-06T11:28:00.001-04:00

When you feel loose

And relaxed

Not a care in the world

You know it's job is done

Bringing laughter

And cheer

Surrounded by your peers

For a night long forgotten

A sip of pure bliss

Enchanted like a midnight kiss

Stars shine in the sky

City lights flashing by

Misery and pain

Escaping your brain

As this bottle of wine speaks to you..

Energy & Motion (Life)

2011-05-16T11:21:00.003-04:00

Though the journey is not over
You feel content
You feel the power of a love well spent
And the path that is ahead
Is filled with light
And at the sight of the moonlight you know that you're right
To feel how you do
No longer singing the blues
And enjoying the present and future designed just for you
As the clock ticks
You know you'll never miss
A moment in life that is cherished like a kiss
You live for today
You live for the moment
As your energy guides you towards a destiny that is poetic with motion and filled with devotion
And it's all you've dreamed of since a child

And as an adult
With every drink you sip from the fountain of life
You fill yourself up
Feeling as high as a kite
That flies in the sky with a simple breeze
Showing you that there is no limit to what you can be
Dream and achieve
Be all you can be
And embrace the journey of life..

Sunrise/ Sunset

2011-05-09T11:53:00.001-04:00

I watch the sunrise

As I see the dark sky

Change from black to blue

I think of you

The view takes me back

To another distant time

As I remember why

I look towards the sky

Love lives on

Even after it's gone

In a land amongst the stars

A place that isn't too far

And I know that beauty

Lives within those we meet

And it's a blessing to see

All wonders and dreams

In this land or the next

A sun will rise and set

Always spreading the light

..As its beauty shines bright

I Remember/ Unity

2011-05-02T10:54:00.001-04:00

Here today, gone tomorrow
Come back hope, rid us of sorrow
The water pours, as angels cry
The world is lost, say your goodbyes

I remember a time
Long ago
When people were one
And cared for the soul
I remember a time
Long ago
When we laughed together
And created a world

Peace is beauty, no destruction
Colors shine bright, unseen creation
Steps of true love, never die
Those footprints, imprint the sands of time

I long for the day
Of unity
Where senseless battles
Are a distant memory
I long for the day
Of unity
When we live as one
In blissful harmony

Time on the clock, live today
Don't worry, no fear, don't hesitate
Evolution is near, embrace change
Sun shines again, a new day

The Gift

2011-04-18T11:06:00.002-04:00

She is an object of beauty
Time cannot erase the feelings in the heart as she walks with love while keeping her head high and remembering the time, that I loved her..

Through death the journey won't end

As I watch from the clouds I feel proud as she smiles and touches the hearts of many..

Time doesn't matter

As long as we remain together

Connected in the soul

Forever she is the world

Never be apart

As we cherish each others heart

Dancing like butterflies

Floating towards the sky

Real love carries us through each life time..

At the start, it was energy
It filled us, moved us, changed us and created us to be the greatest of love for the universe to see beauty at her best as we travel young and are free..

There is no end

Real love carries us

Energy remains

And beauty within shall never change..

Another Goodbye

2011-04-11T11:47:00.001-04:00

Here I am again

Sitting here with my pen

Thinking of you

Thinking of how to say goodbye

Each lifetime we meet

And my desires are at a peak

As I see your smile

And the sparkle in your eyes

Time passes us

And I am left with the memories

Of a life with you

And now my life without you

My soul shall forever wonder

My heart will always search

My eyes will only cry

When I think about the time... we've lost

Love.. My love…

Where are you now?

How are you doing?

It has been awhile...

But still every night

I see you in my dreams

It is a beautiful thought

Of how we could be

I wake up knowing

That I can only see you smile

When I dream the dream

Of a timeless love

I cry.. And I cry

And I say another goodbye

But in my heart

I pray that you would just say hi...

How I wish that I

Could turn back time

So I can hold you in my arms

And know that your mine

But all I can do

Is sit here and view

The thoughts I have left

And these pictures of you

Until next life time

I will pray that I get things right

And that's when I'll propose

And we can live a beautiful life

Until then

I say goodbye

Saturday

2011-03-28T11:00:00.002-04:00

She looks up at me
Straight into my eyes
And smiles as she wraps her arms around me

On a normal Saturday
I would lift her up
And squeeze her tight in my arms
But this is not a normal Saturday

Still, I hug her back
And I feel she misses me in her world
I miss her too but on a day like this I cannot speak

Silence comes over me
As I think and reflect on life
And wonder if faith will step in and lend a hand

Within a hug that lasts 5 seconds
I pray for what feels like 3 hours
And I say
Please, bring me back those I’ve lost so I can have a family again..

Suddenly time is up
As I smile at her and we both turn around and walk our separate ways

Time does heal wounds
But a destiny that involves love and family will always be the driving force of my soul

Each week I hope to hug my little girl
Once more...

*****
About the Poem

Many people have stories that have gone untold and after seeing and observing the losses they have experienced I felt it would be necessary to say the thoughts that I feel they may have.

"Saturday" is part of a series of poems titled; Seven Days

Happy Days

2011-03-21T11:07:00.003-04:00

The wind blows in March

And the sun shines down on us

The heat hits me

The sound whispers into my ear

A chill works its way up my spine

I see

I feel

I touch

I hear

I love

And hope lives within me

Time slips through

It passes me while I move backwards

Paralyzed by the puzzle of emotions

And the wind continues

To whisper to me

The sun starts to fade

Hidden by the clouds

Struggling to seep through

And I envy this power

The power to escape

And again, here comes the wind

Stronger than before

Blowing away these tears

Releasing the fears

Caused by happy days in my life

And now we shiver from head to toe

Only cities apart

Still dancing to the beat of your heart

But no longer seeing, feeling, touching or hearing you..

The sun makes its return

And as the wind continues

To push me back

I travel through a labyrinth

Of choices from days gone and past

And I am left only

With a whisper in my ear

*****

About this poem.

This poem is a reflection piece that was inspired based on the memories that we can have from our past and from where we might actually be in the present.

"I travel through a labyrinth of choices from days gone and past" This line is one that can show the depths of a persons soul while struggling with love and trying to move on.

"Releasing the fears caused by happy days in my life" This line has the most truth and emotion behind it due to its raw honesty.

Thank you,

What Happens to a Friend

2011-03-14T11:24:00.002-04:00

Where have you gone
Where have you been
Through the best and darkest times of my journey
I cannot find you

I need you near
I miss your voice
I want to see you
I need your help

When the going gets tough
You disappeared from my life
How can this be
How is it you can't see

A young seed is demolished inside without me

The wind blows past the chances you refuse to see

A storm stays trapped within the temple of life

What do I do
What can I say
The struggle seems endless with you gone from me
And I need you

I need you near
I miss your voice
I want to see you
I need your help

What happens to a friend
Is this really the end…

An inside look...

Before I go..

2011-02-14T11:21:00.001-05:00

I am happy
Happy to be alive
Even if it isn’t for much longer
I cherish the time left

I am thankful for her smile
For her little hands and feet
For the hugs and the kisses
And the purpose she gave me

***
I am grateful I could dream
Even though the dream was short
I am blessed with the memories
Of what true love can be

I am happy
Happy for my two feet
As I jog just once more
Before this feeling escapes me

I appreciate the hearts of the kind
The lessons they gave
The friendships made
And how they changed a mans fate

The clock is ticking
And time is running out
I will take what I have learned
And share it with the world

***
I am happy
That I can stare at our photos each night
And view our time, in my mind
And live the next few days without pain

I am blessed with a gift from God
The ability to write
Turned the darkness within to light
And my soul is free for the day we meet

Before I go
I wanted those closest to me to know
As I say thins one last time
I love you

--- --- ---
What inspired this piece of literature?

The truth is we never know how much time we have left in the world. Anything can happen, any second of the day. To me, this poem shows a person who decides to be happy for what he has. He cherishes the moments, past and present - as he prepares for the unknown future.

The message I want you to leave with is this… *** Be all you can be TODAY. Do everything you can to reach your dreams. Never stop, never quit. Follow your heart. And go!

Vision

2011-02-07T09:44:00.004-05:00

I have a vision of peace

This vision exceeds all the senseless and pointless trivial trials of mankind

It is pure

As pure as my heart once was as a child

Before the broken hearts

Before the disasters of the world

Before media consumed me

Before lies spoke from my mouth

The leaves on the trees blow beautifully

And water is fresh and pure

Grass is green and soft on your toes

And true love knocks on everyone’s door

No one walks around with guns strapped to their hips

People smile at each other and speak words of kindness from their lips

Eyes sparkle with hope

And no one feels alone within the soul

We breathe in the fresh air

And our hearts are free of worry and stress

We can all live a long life of joy and happiness

And family stays together through everything

My vision of peace is pure

And lives within me as I step out to change the world

One person at a time

One smile at a time

And even amongst my broken heart, my love for my desires will always stand strong

This is my vision of peace

----------

What inspired this poem?

This poem was inspired after some reflection on my life.

Who we are and who we strive to be in life can often leave us in a constant place of frustration. Even in this frustration, I believe that HOPE can be the most powerful tool.

The Elements Within Me

2011-01-31T11:15:00.000-05:00

I am hope

I am dreams

I am passion and love

I believe in hope.

As my heart beats slower as the days go by I know deep inside that I must keep hope alive to excel me to my dreams

I believe in dreams.

They are beautiful especially when I look into her eyes and she smiles back at me and hugs me, I know that this path is my passion and love

I feel passion and love.

When I step outside the house and look towards the sky everything is clear and I feel the warmth of the sun within my soul, giving me a feeling of hope

I am hope

I am dreams

I am passion and love

I am all that you need

And these elements of me, will never leave

Creating a Destiny

2011-01-24T11:20:00.003-05:00

So here we are in this moment
Are we trapped? No
Yet, we are unable to let go
And we know that our lives are better when we are together

I picture you in every aspect of my life
For now and forever
We can survive it all, together
And I see us 50 years from now growing old and filled with love

Each day that goes by is a gift
You capture my heart
And I knew right from the start
That this was the perfect love that I had dreamed of

Love is a simple and joyful feeling
You can see it in my eyes
To the world, it's no surprise
That time stands still whenever you're near

I wish you could see my soul
The colours that radiate through me
Make me feel strong and free
And I know that it is because of you why I am on this path

You have inspired me beyond belief
You've shown me much beauty
And because of you I can see
That you are the sensational woman that I need

No love can compare to us
We can strive and find a way
To let our feelings grow strong each day
When we live for each other and no other

As I stand here, in this moment
I know I will support you
I will always be here for you
And I feel the greatness that our love can achieve

Nothing else matters
Except a lifetime of making you smile
And yes, I would travel 1000 miles
To be with you and make all your dreams come true

All great relationships have their challenges
Through the ups and downs
I will always be around
And never turn my back on you

Now in the present, we have a choice
To create our destiny
To be all that each other needs
And with doing this we can reach our bliss and find our way of love and peace

Memories of Tomorrow (Part 1)

2011-01-18T11:48:00.001-05:00

Your smile lights up an entire room and your eyes make me fall deeper in love with you

Beauty shines through..

Lighting ones soul

Changing darkness within to peace, love and harmony

Blessed is the word

It comes to the mind

When thinking of you and what you have changed in ones world..

A lifetime with you would be the greatest gift from God and when we kiss, your soft lips makes me feel the path you want us to have.

Desire is within us..

Motivating my beliefs

Fueling my inspirations to make me the man that you need

Passion is all around you

Its your most remarkable quality..

Making me glad for the memories we have and this love, that will always last

Days with your Heart

2011-01-03T11:09:00.001-05:00

Today is a day that my heart has changed
Today is a day where I no longer feel pain
Life is a blessing filled with gifts
I am humbled each time we kiss
For love has brought us together
And we can survive any storm or weather
It's symbolic when I am with you
And Its true, I've fallen deeper in love with you

Tomorrow is unknown except for us
Tomorrow is when the world will hear about us
Candle light dinner then a walk in the park
And we kiss on the bridge under the moonlight in the dark
I trust my heart and I'll give it to you
I vision our future as beautiful as you
We are connected together for one simple reason
We are soul mates destined to be in love through all seasons

Yesterday is far in the past
But love is a thing that can always last
Hope is what stays in my heart
And I promise you that my love will never part
Day by day and step by step
Our foundation gets stronger with each step
And when our hands touch I always smile
Secretly you are who I wanted since I was a child

Days go by and love remains
And this love that we cherish will never change

Second Chance/ The Power of Words

2010-12-15T08:16:00.004-05:00

As I look onto the world I see devastation and poverty
I see destruction and fear
And washed up dreams for peace

Hope has been lost
And the devil that lives inside of man is making its way to the surface

This is worse than any drug
Love has died, hate has won
And the people have been consumed by doubt and negativity

And as I watch this happen I realize I am more alone than ever before
The woman I love, loves me no more
And I must now face and change the world alone

I watch over her from a distance to make sure she is okay
But inside of me I am filled with much pain
But my pain must come last if I ever stand a chance to help the world pass this era of a corrupted dance

Through the darkness I strive to be the light
And when children are handed guns I shall stand tall and protect us all
Man created weapons but let's not forget that words are more powerful if spoken the right way

If words can convince someone that guns are okay
Then words can convince the world that it is time for a change
Fear and rape and abuse can stop
And love can appear again and win back its spot

And through this change the world will be brought back to its glory
The beauty and unity of man will be preserved for the future to see

Peace will be among us again
And I carry the loss of the woman I love with me as I watch the world restore itself

And I shall watch her from a far
While my heart gets cold and I cry frozen tears as I remember the love that only meant the world to me

The world can continue its dream of peace and love can fill the streets while poverty gets washed away from the minds and hearts of the children of the universe

Snowflakes of the future

2010-12-06T11:42:00.002-05:00

It's winter
And the snow falls all around her
She dreams of peace and change in the world
She sees with her heart and not with her eyes
Life is scary and trouble is near
But to her it is beautiful without all the fear
She puts her hands out and looks to the sky
The snowflakes hit her cheeks as she dances and smiles

Turning around
Faster and faster
Her eyes light up as the snow falls faster
It is the simple things that make us smile
And seeing life through her eyes can make us wish we were still a child
Life gets more hectic as work gets involved
But we work for our dreams which are never truly that far
Take time in life to cherish each other
Love yourself and love one another

It's winter time and the snow has fallen
A new beginning has come

Without You

2010-11-16T05:44:00.001-05:00

Without you
I can't breath
I can't sleep
I can't live my life as free as I would like to be.

Because of you
I can dream
I can feel
I can reach to the heavens and achieve my goals.

This is real, what I feel for you
If only I could speak to you
And let you know I love you
And let you know I need you.

Without you
I am lost
My heart is in pieces
And my world has shattered

My vision is blurry from the tears flowing down my eyes and it's no surprise I would cry after loosing you.

A woman that changed my heart
Made me feel loved
Made me feel happy
Gave me a purpose to live.

But now your gone
And without you
I just want to give up and die
The world has ended
My soul has vanished
I have nothing to live for
Without you.

Savior

2010-10-04T11:06:00.001-04:00

I can be anything you want me to be
I can be everything that you need.
I can soar high in the sky alongside of the gods
and shower you with blessings of what a true love can be

I will protect you
I will save you
I will guide you towards the light

I will stand by you
I will honor you
I will fight for what is right

All though we are different
my heart will not change
I promised I’d fight for you
regardless of the pain

My soul and my heart are unbreakable
my love is unmistakable
my vision is of unity
and peace is what I strive to see

And you…
you are the reason I can pursue
All things are possible due to my love for you

Through the darkest of days and shallow nights, I will be your light
I will be your rock
I will be a living dream

When all hope seems to be lost
let me help you
when you feel like you can’t go on
I will carry you
if you need to cry
I will wipe your tears
and if you scream for help
I will be there

I can be anything you want me to be
I can be everything that you need.
The journey of life makes me question many things
but what I know is I would give anything to help you

I will be there for you
when you call my name
I will hold an umbrella up
on a rainy day
and with your most precious of gifts…
I’ll love with my heart and treat as special as a kiss

And as time goes on
I will always be with you
the heart of one man
will always protect you

As life can often pierce the body like a bullet
I will stand strong as your shield
I will live up to my promises
I will protect you from your fears

I can be anything you want me to be
Believe in me, relax your soul… and be free!

Sleepless

2010-09-20T11:36:00.000-04:00

Have you ever had trouble sleeping at night?

Feeling lost and alone
with no place to go
and all you want
is for someone to say
I love you…

Sleepless nights go on for days.

Lying in bed
wishing and hoping
that the person you love
would just turn to you
and say the words
I love you…

One hour goes by
Two hours go by
Four hours go by
and still you can’t sleep.

The pain burns deep within your soul
as you wonder how you lost your heart.

A woman like you/ (photograph part 2)

2010-09-13T12:16:00.001-04:00

I have never known a woman like you
and I feel I never will again.
These photographs are all I have
and I will cherish them until the end.

Your smile lives on within my heart
and when I think of it, I cry.
You are the dream I’ve been searching for
and I will remember you for all of my life.

I look at you everyday
and my feelings fly higher then before.
The beauty of your eyes, speak to my soul
and I know that you are my entire world.

I love when you reached out your hand to grab mine
my heart doubled in beats.
You are a remarkable woman, and through these memories
you will always live on, through me.

I have never known a woman like you
and I know I won’t again.
What I have left are these pictures of you
they are a blessing I will keep, until the end.

The Soul of the Ocean

2010-07-12T11:49:00.001-04:00

I close my eyes and begin a deep sleep and as I sleep, I begin to dream.

I am on a beach with white sand around me. I can feel the grains flowing in between my toes with each step I take towards the ocean.

The wind blows strong. The suns heat makes its mark on me. It is at times like this where I feel free. I turn around, looking towards the open land only to see trees and more sand that I can hold in my hand.

I continue my walk towards the ocean that is a crystal clear blue that I can see through. As my feet reach the shoreline I feel the sand washing away from my toes. I keep moving and one of the waves carry me further into the ocean.

The warmth of the water relaxes me as I dunk my head underneath the crystal blue ocean that surrounds me and brings me the feelings of happiness and peace.

I am swimming.
And after a few moments I can see the figure of someone coming towards me. A beautiful woman whose hair flows in the water and her sparkling eyes make my spirit want to merge with her soul.

Around her neck she wears a star necklace that seems to light up the entire ocean. As she smiles at me, she takes off the necklace and wraps it around my left hand.

This beautiful angel from under the ocean touches my chest and I am launched from the water. Moving at a speed where I can only see the radiant colors of life surrounding me.

I awake from my dream, trying to catch my breath after being launched from the ocean. I still feel her hand on my chest.

I turn to my left hand and what do I see, but a beautiful star necklace that shines just for me.

I begin to smile and close my eyes… but I can no longer dream.

Magic and Dreams

2010-07-05T11:22:00.003-04:00

I step towards her
towards the one
who lights up my soul

I smile
because of her beauty
and how she changes my world

I wrap my hands around her
and I know
she is the one

I look into
her sparkling brown eyes
and I feel that I could cry

And as the wind
blows around us
I can feel her love

And as the sun
shines down on us
our spirits become one

She tells me to close my eyes
so I do
without hesitation

She leans towards me
and kisses my lips
and I feel her kiss made time stand still

She asks me
if I believe in magic…
if I believe in dreams…

I open my eyes
to see her smile
and I feel the joys that love can bring

I answer
“yes I believe in magic and dreams
that is what you are to me”

We grab hands
and start to walk
with the light always shining on us

Waiting for the light

2010-06-28T12:39:00.007-04:00

I am waiting
waiting for her to return
waiting for the light

I wish to see her again
but sadly
time goes by slowly in the night

I am alone
with my thoughts
that are clear in the darkness

My hopes and dreams
feed my soul
through the night

When I close my eyes
I can picture her smile
and it fills my heart with joy

The butterflies in my stomach turn
and even though she’s not around
I feel her in my soul

I am waiting
waiting for her to return
waiting for the light

I am walking around
in circles
looking towards the sky

How much longer till the sun rises?
Where did she go?
What is her name?

My mind is filled with questions
and I anxiously wait
for her and the day

The hours go by
and suddenly I see
the sun start to shine

I stand still
my hands are sweaty
and my arms are by my side

I look ahead of me
far into the distance
hoping to see her appear

“Wait no more”
a voice whispers
into my right ear

I turn around
and I see her there
smiling just like before

Her sunflower dress
blows with the rhythm of the wind
and my heart skips a beat

I am done waiting
she has returned
and the light shines in front of me

I Am

2010-04-19T13:22:00.003-04:00

I am more than just a man, I am poetry and love

I am peace and harmony. I am creation at large

When I dance, I let my soul talk

I let my heart feel joy. I let my dreams free to soar

I allow myself, to get lost in the feeling of passion

The feeling of connection and the feeling of rhythm

When I am with the one I love, I am energy and soul

I flow to her heartbeat and connect with her soul

I hope to inspire a world full of change

I am more than just a man. I am the movement of change

Photograph

2010-04-12T10:57:00.003-04:00

I look at this and I remember it all.

There isn’t a single smile on this earth that shines like yours!
Not a single look that can make me feel complete.
There is no other face that I wish to touch
And no other lips that stop time when we kiss.

This photograph is all that I have
It is the sweetest memory

When all else fails, I look at you
When the world is too much, I turn to you
When I miss your touch, I kiss you
And when that’s not enough, I pray to you

There is no other hand on this planet that fits perfectly with mine
No other heart can beat in perfect harmony with me
There is no other voice that sounds like an angel and sings to me like yours
There are no other eyes I can look into and say “you are my world”

This picture of you is just for me
It is the sweetest memory

When I need my best friend, I look at you
When I just want to cry, I turn to you
When I go to sleep at night, I kiss you
And when that’s not enough, I pray to you

I remember it all when I look at this…
A photograph of the one I love!

Just Listen

2010-04-07T12:21:00.012-04:00

I sit here with my pen in my hand, on a beautiful day, in sunny April. The grass is green and fresh, the flowers are blooming effortlessly with great color and beauty. The sun shines down over God’s creation and people and if you just take time to listen you can hear it…

The wonderful message of life! It is always around us, whispering, speaking softly. Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Can you see it?

We are free. Free to love and experience life. Free to sing and share our songs of freedom. When the wind blows, don’t fight its direction and when your heart beats, don’t fight its love. Because it is this love that connects us all together.

To be free means to turn our back on negativity for negativity is the worse drug. It can take over the mind, heart and even the soul. But, if you remember to let the light shine within you, just like God lets his light shine over his creation, we as a family will be alright.

Can you hear the beautiful message of life?

It is all around us. All you have to do… is listen.

9:06/ Hope

2010-04-07T12:18:00.007-04:00

At 9:06 I looked at the clock.
If I could give one gift to everyone in the world it would be the gift of hope.
For hope can bring so many beautiful thoughts into the human world.
Hope can make us want to help others… Hope can make us believe in something more…

Something About Love

2010-04-07T12:10:00.005-04:00

-There is something to be said about love-

How she can make a man feel unbreakable to the world but in her arms she makes the man caring and simple like a child. The connection of his soul with hers is unfathomable. Like space and like time… there is no end.

She picks him up when he’s down. She listens to his heart and doesn’t miss a beat. She brings the man closer to his dreams!

The most beautiful creation of the universe is this woman. The same woman who strives to be the best friend in the world. Who excels at everything she attempts. The same woman that gave the man her heart to hold and cherish for life times to come.

She can make this man cry tears of joy just by looking deep into her brown eyes where he can always see the passion, joy and miracles of their future.

-There is something to be said about love-

Higher and higher the man elevates off the ground being lifted by her soul and spirit which shines brighter then the sun.

What the world does not see is her. She is the one who keeps him strong. She is the one who carries him through the storm, with open arms, never hesitating and with her head raised high.

The man is closer to his dreams!

Connecting his soul with hers and experiencing love for the true blessing that it is!

-There is something to be said about this woman-
