I spread my arms, like wings
To embrace love that sings
That reaches my mind with peace
While my wishes and hope increase
Inspiration flows with words to me
I welcome to keep for eternity
You are special, a light to shine
All that you’ve given, grateful is mine
To cherish, as if you’re in my arms
With all your invigorating charms
I am here for you, however I can be
Forever, simply, as far as you can see

I don't see anybody else because they aren't you.
Somedays, my inspiration flows from my fingertips
Spiraling across pages
Eloquent and heart-wrenching
Other days, I scribble dead end sentences
Sloppy and without passion
The other days aren't you.
They do matter, those half wit constructions
Providing only bits and pieces
To one beautiful work
You are a novel
Gushing from my pen
I don't want a string of simple words that fall off my pages as the seasons change
I want volumes etched into trees, bound by the earth
I want you.

Verses composed, daytime dreams,
Lounging in a languid breeze,
Letter by lazy letter they drop
Into the ether, never to be retrieved.
I sometimes long to feel, no,
I let that feeling go, far off, long ago.
It is all trite now, every thing alright,
As hummingbirds alight on thin branches above.
Why dream of love? It is here,
Swirling down in calls from mourning doves.
Each moment expected, projected,
Reserves a momentary morsel of surprise.
Unable to partake, I gaze, breathe in
Literary inspiration, a passing phrase.
Sacred nature, the supernatural in my veins.
It matters not you died; you are here today.

She is not a supernatural
All she is - a being of morals
She is not invinscible
Yet, She can be divisible
A shed light in a darkened room
An inspiration to a person in doom
A transformer in many things
A quiet fighter in anything
A sister she can be
A friend she can be
A mother she can become
A baby she can come
A casual smile she can release
Giving someone a sudden bliss
When tear pours and uncease
It weakens or ruins anyone's peace
Indeed, she is a supergirl
On whole wide world at twirl
Independently ravaging
Graciously empowering

Lyric

Here we are again in the center of the desert
Don't know how we came to know a second chance
drowning in a drought of inspiration
thirsty still we both know that we can dance
timid and a tiny bit off of balance
my hands are shaking, heart is heavy beating
I look into the endless sky of your eyes
here and now there is no more retreating
Sands of time are shifting all around us
shards of absence seem to disappear
possibilities are promises in the breeze
and i'm complete now that you're here
You're the water to sate my starving senses
The master of mirage, you take me home
The desert is not as desolate at it used to be
now that I know I am not alone
Here are again in a second chance of romance
and the sands sing a slow song as we dance

MY MAN
My man,now, I will close my starry eyes.
Catch... As I'll held my hand to yours.
Quench my emptiness with your heart.
Each heartbeat may it etch, no depart...
My man, oh how I long to be like this,
All of a sudden, summer and winter collide.
Bringing autumn and spring in one
be nearer. nearer... nearer as you please.
My man, you and me in bone-melting bliss
Stars whisper bright of blooming love kiss
Next to God, you're my fortress, my air, my life
From darkness thorns to daylight rose, no strife
My man, hold on, cling tight. Never forgo.
Together, we can soar like pigeon's flights..

I want to be your motivation, inspiration and everything in between.
I want to be the reason for your smile, and the one who turns your frown upside down.
I want to be the one you look up to and admire and the one you always desire.
I want to be the the voice in your heart, not your ear, telling you everything that you need, not want to hear.
I want to mean enough to you to be your solution to all life's ups and downs.
I want you to need me every morning when you wake up, and during the day when you have had enough.
I want to feel your excitement to kiss me good night even after your day has been so rough.
I need and want all these things from you because you're the only one who gets me through.
I love you more and more each day, it's true.
You have blessed me with a beautiful life made together by both of us.
I need all these things from you because one day soon,
My most important role of all in life,
Will be when I hold the tittle of being your wife xxx

Ballad

Frustrated by my
Inability to cope
Got me second
Guessing
Don't know where
To get my inspiration from
It could be better
Don't know what to do
To make it right
Tweek the beganning
Change the middle
The end never turns
Out right
Get myself believing
Product of my game
Less on stressing
A little relaxing
This time maybe
Things will change
Don't have me coming over
When you know i have
Things to do
Want more than cuddling
Wanna have my way will
You
You ooh baby
Don't say we're through
Be my inspiration
Don't skip the preperation
Be true to what you do
Do your thing
Than I'll do mine
Inspire me to different heights
Baby blow my mind
Glad you called
Had a ball
Do itagain the next time
Word after word
Baby never mentioned love
Again I be second guessing
What am i thinking of
A man like me
With a woman like you
I am probably beinga fool
Don't need no lessons
Better figure out my next move
Get it right
This something of concern
Don't mention about
I am lacking concern
Wish not to be taken for
Granite you the same
sentiment
Me and you
What we gone do
Be real stop acting so stern

Rhyme

Sea of searching tore hope without explanation
Crucified crests cascaded, crazed static fall crashing
Thrown spontaneous needs, unclean situations
Wayward waltz of flotsam incongruity, faith attacking
Tossed by tumult of quick duty drifters expected
Wanton women sought whimsy single wave provided
Crudest crass antics satisfied, longevity rejected
Your initial impression of love soured, ineptly guided
Passing storms glinted possibilitiy, gold molten
Tides' turn triggered stability, a precious daughter born
Island high respite bleached prior sin, forgotten
Barbaric baby mother forced ongoing warranted scorn
Struggle to maintain safety, sentry shipwrecked
Shattered bow released soul mate satiate foreseeable
Tormented tiny child splintered fragile prospect
Cuts met welted wounds, salt sterile from recent evils
Collapse on a beach of relief, I'm your purest cove
Bloodied hands bandaged, nurtured with tender heed
Mollusc polished particles to resume trust's trove
Immortal vessel promise predicts turgid tides recede

Lyric

0:08 -- With the sky shining so high and so blue,
Why'd I ever choose to run with you?
The earth looked appealing for a moment,
Yeah, thanks to you.
Yeah. Thanks to you.
0:26 -- I doubted myself in ways so unfair
With the blue sky calling me from above.
Oh, that blue sky.
Oh, the call.
Why'd I ignore the calling blue sky?
0:44 -- Safety was in the sky.
Oh, and yet I ignored it.
0:57 -- I doubted myself in ways so unfair
With the blue sky calling me from above.
Oh, that blue sky.
Oh, the call.
Why'd I ignore the calling blue sky?
1:13 -- I fell hard, so hard.
It was a fury, a dying star.
And tho I knew that the sky was calling:
I chose to become your earth,
And leave the sky behind.
And the fall and all that pain was just for you.
Yeah, just for you.
And oh, I broke. I shattered.
Unable to break away from the earth
to heed the call of the clear, blue sky.
I don't know why I tried.
*Lyrical Pause*
2:42 -- I doubted myself in ways so unfair
With the blue sky calling me from above.
I doubted myself in ways so unfair
With the blue sky calling me from above.
2:58 -- Pushing away from the earth,
I leaped to return to the sky. To the sky.
And the sky was not the same,
As it once had been.
As it once'd been!
03:14 -- Oh, that blue sky.
Oh, the call.
I don't know why I ignored the call. 03:22

Lyric

You sucked the poison out of me,
I feel free though I can see
The inspiration has also left my head
As I lay awake in bed,
But I don’t mind,
No, I don’t mind.
I’m holding onto this escape,
Forgiven for my mistake,
You’re all I need, breathe you in,
You’re under my skin,
But I don’t mind,
No, I don’t mind.
This cure has my head spinning,
I’m falling and I’m flying,
Hold onto me, let me go,
I don’t know,
Which way to turn now,
Your eyes have me held,
Spellbound,
But I don’t mind,
Why should I mind?
Take your time,
I stand in line,
First up, last one standing,
You speak words, commanding,
But I don’t mind,
No, I don’t mind.
I tell myself this isn’t good,
Isn’t how it should
Be but you’ve held me tight
And carried me through the night
And I don’t mind,
No, I really don’t mind.
This cure has my head spinning,
I’m falling and I’m flying,
Hold onto me, let me go,
I don’t know,
Which way to turn now,
Your eyes have me held,
Spellbound,
But I don’t mind,
Why should I mind?
Behind these eyes,
I always believed in lies,
The pain stung me like whips
But you cure me with your lips,
And I don’t mind,
No, I don’t mind.
I’m burning up inside,
Want to run, to hide,
But your light seeks me out
And shows me what love’s about
So I don’t mind,
No, I don’t mind.
This cure has my head spinning,
I’m falling and I’m flying,
Hold onto me, let me go,
I don’t know,
Which way to turn now,
Your eyes have me held,
Spellbound,
But I don’t mind,
Why should I mind?
Why
Should I
Mind? ...

The best of us don't impress us anymore
They think they have arrived
Their ego is obvious
They believe they are superior
So isolation is never absent
In their dealing with us
We are lesser human
So many of them say
Just because they accumulate
Alot of paper wealth
Now we look so small
Just because they can now
Speak with the hunters
Dine and shake hands with them
Now their own looks like mere ant
Before their eyes
They turned their back
On the street
They turn down their cultural values
Just because they got western education
They turn down their youth
Just Because they own
Alot of paper wealth
The rest of us is now just
A fool to their eyes
The best of us don't impress us anymore
Instead of moral values
They chose to show off
They don't influence our
Youths to a positive vibes
Of inspiration
Their life style produce
Alot of hard core desperate youth
Ready to make it quick by
Every means posible
Our best influence is so high
But at what cost
Cos our youth are harden this days
They are far to see what is at their doorstep
No one is saying our history no more
No one is pulling the youth back
To the value of our culture no more
No wonder their minds are empty
With evil
Money is all they want
The rest dont matter
Even if it takes to kill anyone
What a generation
I bleed yes I bleed
For my generation
Yes I know we are not meant
To be this mentally devalued
Yes I know who we are
And because I know this
It hurt my soul that
The best of us don't impress us anymore

Advice
Never say never
But never burry yourself
In depression
Discover who you are
Chose the man you want
To be
If you can think it
You can do it
Never let any one put
You down
Be positive in life
Cos life works for
A positive mind
Is not a lie
Remember everyday
Is not the same
So when you are down
Remember who you are
And raise
You can do it
Cos I believe in you brother
Advice
Brother listen
Life got too many faces
Different levels
Different stages
Different experiences
This are the process of growth
When you pass all this time
Remember to do all
You do with your heart
Don't do them with fear
Fear is a killer
It take you backwards
If you must fear
Fear God
And that will be the source
Of your wisdom
In all your process of growth
Be brave were you are suppose
To be
Be calm when you are to be calm
Don't be carried away by the sweet
Things of life
It kills slowly and easily
Brother if you must
Be successful in life
You must bear pain
But make that pain
A power
Let it motivate you
Remember life is not
A bed of roses brother me
Advice
Don't allow any body
To make you hate yourself
Don't allow any body to kill
Your inspiration
Don't allow any body
To kill the light in you
Don't allow any negative energy
Be always alert In mind
Grow by yourself determination
And let nothing stop you
From becoming who you want to be
Brother if you can think it
You can do it
I believe in you
God bless you
I love you

Dramatic Verse

It was a moment in time
a fate of inspiration gifted
I believe I was lifted a destiny in writing
I would vibrantly pursue .
Renting a cottage once in Monterey Bay
this cottage special in some way
The very minute moving.. I felt a presence
giving me no serenity , no rest
feeling I were a quest ~
After desiring this home so
telling the Realtor ~ I made a mistake
She told me be calm ~
many have said this before you
~ this haunt was not a new
For once lived a Writer ~well respected Gent
His cottage a distillery during the time of prohibition.
Many Gents and Ladies came to this cottage
unlawfully gamble & drink through the night
Who would think , Doc Ricketts in Cane & Hat
it was a party by moon light ~
In the back a distillery hidden in a old shed
many Alcoholics were fed ~
The ghost popular quite the Ladies man ~
I was honored while feeling displaced
For those who have not read my poems
~ and this may be new.
This really happened ~
The ghost of John Steinbach rented me his home True
