Whether written or verbal, some emotions are difficult for me to express. Some are forgotten, but there are those once in a life-time experiences that simply refuse to be dislodged from one's memory. I take great delight in sharing one of mine with you.
I do not recall such an emotion before or since, and most likely I never will; but with that romantic memory, once was enough. A man's heart can only take just so many butterflies.
I remember the year, the occasion, and that night. It was one date to remember with one lasting love.
We had just finished dinner at a nice restaurant, and within a couple of blocks, while driving, I felt a strong bubbling inside of me. I felt so good, I pulled over, stopped, and kissed my date.
That butterfly emotion was clearly a love token to me. I sensed that it was far beyond another short-lived infatuation. I was struck with a fever, and within 18 months, we were married.
Through good times and bad, sometimes hot and other times not so much, that fever has matured into a covenant, a commitment, and a devotion that have lasted for more than 45 years.

The feeling of emotion, the beginning,
the meaning of emotion, the end.
When these crossed at the edge of my twilight time
my mind started to sink at sunset, unexpressed.
After the futile walk through the clouded day
the garden path I had lost,
searched a hand to guide and show me the way
where the unknown roads had crossed, unwalked.
When the day’s last wind began to blow,
in the wasteland of past my shadow lengthened
falling on the frail footprints buried under dust,
while the roads to the future waited, crossed.
I traveled through the torrent of turmoil, I'd forgotten
the bridges left behind for I burnt them all.
I chose the road and crossed the river ahead
on the bridge you'd built for me, unpossessed.
Cycles of good times and bad times,
cross-currents of contrast in skeptic mind’s confusion,
that cleared as the mist of doubt lifted,
I saw the road ahead wasn’t at its dead end, untraveled.
Life’s story written in time's tome of flowing continuum,
at the end of a sad chapter challenged me to choose
if I’d turn the page or close the book,
I had decided to read on till the end.
At the crossroads of crowded compromise degrading,
and after the silent crumbling in loneliness passionate,
following the moonlit path the dreams tread on,
I rose from the dust and became a poet.

You have no idea how much you'll be missed
We've seen each other every day for years
Though you've touched my lips, we never once kissed
Picking me up when I was brought to tears
Calming my nerves before something new
Bringing strength to get over my fears
It seems so scary, not sure what I'll do
Good times and bad, exciting or lame
You were always there to help me get through
Life without you just won't be the same
But it had to end, something I've always known
It's finally time to put out that flame
Our love I can no longer condone
This relationship which I now regret
I need to learn to get by on my own
All that you have done I'll never forget
As I butt you out, my last cigarette

WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN
Jim’s fallen head over heels for a girl,
He’s forgotten his mates; they’re in limbo
One whiff of her scent, his head’s in a whirl
But why did he choose Sue THAT blonde bimbo?
Like a shadow they are never apart
Stuck together tightly with superglue
This bleached blonde airhead has stolen his heart
Jim bade all his old friends a fond adieu
Every single day they are together
Still they only have eyes for each other
Arms wrapped around her, true love forever
Jim wears jumpers knitted by his lover!
On bended knee Jim gives Sue a huge ring
He splashed all his cash to buy her some bling
WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN
Sue won’t hear a bad word about her Jim,
with rose coloured glasses, Sue is blinkered
He lets out huge farts, but Sue will just grin
She just giggles and calls him a stinkard!
Jim snores like a steam train, he never halts
Sue turns over and pulls up the covers
She totally ignores all of Jim’s faults
They’re besotted since they became lovers
Jim’s mates pity him; he’s under the thumb
With a ring on her finger Sue’s smiling
They are contented and Jim’s never glum
Sue adores him; she thinks he’s beguiling
Forever in love through good times and bad
Sue chose Jim because he looks like her dad!

Your physical body still excites me
Your whispers so loved in my ears
Your strong arms protect me
Your hand fits in mine
We have traveled so far through the years.
Why you chose me I still do not know
My faults are too many to list
You saw the truth of my inner self
There was nothing hidden you missed.
To know me so well
To love me so real
How do you justify that?
In sickness and health
You take care of me
In all of the good times and bad.
I love you so deep
From now until death
Our paths are linked to the end
I will spend the entire rest of my life
Choosing you over and over again.
No longer do I weep for you,
Though I no longer weep I still miss you.
I miss those times and precious moments we shared,
Those memories that showed how much we really cared.
With good times and bad,
And Lord knows there were quite a few,
You always knew no matter what happened I would always love you.
With a smile on your face and a wave of your hand,
How I long to have those sweet moments moments back again.
As I sit and go through these memories today,
I wonder is there a message, is there something you want to say?
Or is it your way of telling me,
I'm with yoiu here and always will be.
The last twelve months have been very life long
There has been good times and bad times but we remain strong
Do you remember the things that happened from beginning to end
Now there’s a fresh new start right around the bend
So gather your family and friends around
Party it up and turn up the music sound
So fill yourself with good will and cheer
And when the clock strikes midnight shout
Happy New Year
Father times dying baby New Year is ready to be born
Write a new book of your life the old one is tattered and torn
Don’t forget the past but let the pain slip away
Let the sun shine upon you on the first New Years Day
Be a better person live in the now
Enjoy your life more make a solemn vow
So fill yourself with good will and cheer
And when the clock strikes midnight shout
Happy New Year
Remember loved ones who have fallen in the past
Raise a toast to them and yourself to make their memory last
Grab your sweet heart and kiss them when the bell tolls
Pray for peace and all the departed souls
Make a New Years resolution don’t break your word
Be true to yourself and others and let your voice be heard
So fill yourself with good will and cheer
And when the clock strikes midnight shout
Happy New Year
Make this one better than the year before
The sands of time are wasting away each day a little more
Make each second count always strive
Go face your fears and thank heaven your alive
Indulge in your passions make your dreams come true
Good luck God bless Happy New Year to you

TRAPPED
I run through life wounded with a steel jawed trap
ensnared onto my foot restricting my life’s essence.
Day in and day out I’m never able to shake it off,
in relentless movements as fast as I could go
so no new pain touches me.
I fight for sustenance; I fight to inhabit this life
damaged and wearied, from taking life’s persecutions
This invisible torment of my afflictions you can’t
Identify with.
I hold close that God is always watching and will pull me from
The of muddied roads that I run. He hears my tormented cries;
He feels my tortured spirit; He sees I can’t stop this path I’m on.
You say I’m not getting free but the running is
critical to me, as long as I can run, I’ll move,
don’t ask why, don’t question it, don’t try.
It’s not something you’ll ever comprehend.
Don’t question my animal instinct, let me be free
from what haunts me, from the nothingness.
You’re not saving me, you got nothing on me.
I’m God’s creature and vow to be who I am.
You say the war is over but the hurt remains
I keep a mask on through good times and bad
They don’t think my life counts but God sees the
merit of my existence.
Every day, it’s my struggle not yours, no one can imagine
the heartbreak, the suffering, the sorrow cutting my soul
as deeply as the rapt foot, it won’t come off it’s always
mine alone.
I’m still fighting, the battle rages on in my mind.
Stop your judgment, leave me be, if you have not
Been through this anguish run with me or without me.
I have accepted the aloneness in this fight.
This trap keeps me from fending off life’s predators.
I’m a solitary being with a broken spirit. My desperate
expression is evidence enough. Though my instincts are
powerful I’m not able to discern when I’m in danger.
I know GOD watches this unbearable burden I carry.
I pray when my time is up He gives me warning
So in the final moments I can stand still as I’m being
raised up out of this hell into Heaven.
My Angels in Heaven see me; I’m okay to die this way;
it’s not for you to say. I beg God to keep His guard on me.
I’m done defending this. I pray for you without any
prayers in return.
My journey through life is made so much better with the good friends that surround me
These people are there in times of need, always willing to help, it's plain to see
A special someone I can call on to rescue me when my car breaks down
That person who can bring a smile to my face so I may lose that frown
An evening out on the town made so much more entertaining by having friends to share my night of fun
Never failing to lend a hand to help me get that important job done
Having people who don't judge me but treat me for who I am
Always being there for me when I get in a tough jam
Someone who is there standing by my side in good times and bad
My good friends always can bring a smile to my face when I am a little sad
There are so many things that I am thankful for that good friends bring to my life
But without a doubt my best friend is my loving wife
