I'Ll Love You Forever

I love the sweet fragrance of your hair
An the feel of your skin against mine
Our hearts beating together
Our souls intertwined
Never inseparable
Always together and complete 
You've opened my eyes
An now I can truly see

You are the women I love 
No one could ever take your place
I don't know what I would do
If you ever went away
I'd be like a blind man
Leading his dog out into the street
Not knowing what my future had left in store for me
 
I'll love you forever
Till the end of time
A love like ours
Only comes once in your life

A Giant Leap For Mankind

Men land on the moon,
A giant leap for mankind.

As men strived for the stars.
They forgot all their differences,
but not who they are.

On July 20, 1969,
Neil Armstrong changed everything.
He was the first man to step onto the moon.
There's no limit to what man can do.

This is not fiction,
but a historical fact.
One that would change everything,
No matter where you're at.

People put away,
their childish ways.
An pulled together,
This was a new age.
This was the time,
of the great Space Race.



 " One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap For Mankind "

The Monster

Let me tell you ,
of a tale .
A man ,
legends are made .
Like none ,
known before .

Hair strait ,
raven black .
Eyes fixed ,
burn like fire . 
 
On the darkest night .
A lone stranger,
went out .
To venture forth .
To find the monster ,
devouring everything ,
in it's course .

The monsters eyes ,
black as coal . 
It's cold dead skin ,
frighten to behold .

It's beady eyes ,
venture forth .
Destroying everything ,
in it's sight .
On the darkest nights .

My friend ,
came upon the monster .
By the old oak tree .
Sword in hand .
He did not cease .
Till he devoured ,
the beast .

The townsfolk ,
do sleep .
No longer frightened ,
of the beast .

You Inspire Me

I long to feel,
The warmth of your embrace.
To kiss those lips,
An to gaze upon your face.

I miss you,
More than you could ever know.
You've reached,
The very depth of my soul.

I could close my eyes,
An refuse to see.
You are the one I love,
You are my destiny.

You inspire me,
To write this very night.
I'll keep writing, 
Till you're by my side.

The Comet

In the dark,
of the night. 
A great comet,
streaked across,
the night sky.

The great comet,
burned so intensely.
It burned so bright. 

The seas started to boil.
The land was laid to waste.

Soon came the great quakes.
An thousand foot tidal waves.

Destruction like I've never seen. 
The comet ripped open the earth. 
An laid waste to all the beautiful trees.

The Darkness In the Night

The darkness in the night. 
A true terror to behold .
Sneaks up on you like,
A pack of ravenous wolves .
Gnashing it's teeth .

Thick, coarse black fur,
to ward off the cold .
Razor sharp teeth,
to rip out your soul .

Its fierce black eyes,
tremulously unclosed . 
Sending shivers
down your spine .

It's tremendous jaws,
unclench with a snap .
It's stealthy attack,
comes to fast to react .

There's no moon, no light.
Just the darkness in the night . 

Bite, bite . . .

Halloween Night

Halloween Night ,
Save your soul .
You'll experience an evil ,
unlike anything ,
you've ever known  .

Ghost and Goblins ,
Witches too  . 
An incantation ,
to raise the dead  .
A potion brewed ,
especially for you  .

There's been ,
a transformation ,
from love to hate  .
You better get down ,
on your knees ,
before it's to late .

You can't run an hide ,
the devils coming for you .
You've lost your soul ,
an you know it's the truth  .

I Never Knew

When your lips,
First met mine.
I felt like I could,
love you forever.
Till the end of time.

One look,
One kiss.
I never knew,
Love could feel like this.

You made my heart race,
An I felt as dumb as a tree.
I thought I was going to faint,
I got weak in the knees.

If this isn't love,
Then please explain.
Why does my heart ach so,
An why do I feel so much pain.

Sometimes I feel,
I can't go on.
I can't live without you baby,
You're all I want.

All I long for,
Is to be with you.
I'll always be faithful,
I swear to be true.

I Had a Dream Last Night

I had a dream last night.
We were walking on the beach,
with our toes in the sand.
You were my women,
An I was your man.

We walked hand in hand.
Not a care in the world.
I was so content,
You were my girl.

You are so beautiful,
it makes me sigh.
I did my best,
To hold it all inside.

Then I started to cry.
I was so overwhelmed,
you were by my side.

I did not cry,
because I was in pain.
I started crying ,
because I fell in love ,
all over again.

I Miss You

I miss your face,
I miss your touch .
I miss the girl,
I love so much .

I miss you,
An the things you use to say .
I miss the way,
You'd shrug your shoulders when walking away .

I miss the girl,
You use to be .
Most of all,
I miss your being with me .

I miss you more,
Each and every day .
I just wish,
You wouldn't have walked away .

I miss you,
An I hope you miss me .
Why'd I have to be so stubborn,
Why'd I let you leave .

I miss your face,
I miss your smile .
I still think about you,
Every once in a while .
