Time Thief

I'm just sitting here thinking about how much I miss you
Your beautiful welcoming face comes into view
So comforting and full of sunshine
The way I feel about YOU  impossible to define
My love forever tracends through space and time
You didn't deserve to be part of his shameful crime
Paybacks a bich your ASS it's all mine
But of course for a comment you politely  decline
No one's safe until your forced to resign
You know what you STOLE wasn't yours it was MINE
IN my eyes YOU should have to do hard  prison time
TO the cruelest prison for you they should assign
Become someone's little  *****
Mortified when he says..
back off he's all mine!
Your a murderer  and a thief of precious time
Your the lowest low your low sneaky swine
I asked you how she was?
And you said she  was just fine
I knew that very second
pay attention look for a sign
DO the math
You + her = rapid decline 
Through her pain she was  strong never one to whine
You know what you did
I know what you did
you crossed the line
I don't worship you like others do I don't see no shrine
You'll get what's coming to you
GET over your self You must be blind
Your bedside manner is sorely lacking all too easy to find
Messing with the wrong people  we stick together
it's  that tie that binds
WE give loyalty new meaning family redefined
Were here to remind you what you Took and what she left behind
Your mix of cocky and arrogant    deadly  when combined
You could give a **** less
Oh God can't we  rewind?
DONT worry I am a professional everything be  just fine
Your self centered words
wanna wash your mouth out with turpentine
will not quit until we are  satisfied
Hold on tight Doc get ready for one hell of a bumpy ride
Followed by humiliation  &  career suicide
Now we're even
one to one
the score is tied

Prelude To An Exit: the Written Word Becomes Spoken ( a Narrative. Part Three)

We wait all night to recite words, that are both sweet and sometimes tart.
Though we compete, there is no jealousy in our hearts.
We build on each other's success, because this is how it starts.
We move forward together, because the support is off of the charts.
We greet each other at the point, where the written and the spoken words meet,
And we will meet the crowd, where the true fans come to take their seats,
And we will seat them all, where the poets and the partakers eat,
And we will cook the food for thought, where the words come with so much heat.
From the stage to the page, our words excite the crowd.
We always set the mood, and keep them screaming loud.
The crowd is always hooked, because we always leave them "wowed."
We are consistent with this task, since this is what we vowed.
From the paper, we form a phenomenal speech.
From the paper, we sometimes come prepared to teach.
From the paper, we sometimes come prepared to preach.
Therefore, from the paper, we stretch our words out and reach.
From the paper, we perform the greatest shows.
From the paper, we show you exactly how to flow.
From the paper, we show you exactly how to grow,
Since, from the paper, we tell you what we want you to know.
Our words will always be unlike any other kind.
Our words will always be the creative tie that binds.
Our words will always be able to lead the blind.
Our words will always be recorded in their minds.
Here we are free to be both a saint and a sinner,
And this food for thought serves as our eternal dinner.
Though the opportunities are getting thinner and thinner,
In the long run, poetry is always the winner.

Premium Member How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

                 (Response)
What magnitude of love, thou hath for me
A  flowing fountain welleth up inside
Overfilling my heart with love and pride 
Merely mirrors the love I share for thee
Our two hearts were meshed by God's blessed grace
Our love strengthens the tie that binds our souls
Untempered by heaven, forever it  grows 
Immeasurable love through time and space
Countless stars will sleep, winds will rise and fall
My darling, I thirst and hunger for thee
Please bringeth forth thy love and comfort me 
The love we share encompasses all

Such Divine love before unknown to man
Such true love shall never be known again


  response to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's sonnet
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

The Family

THE FAMILY

Still came the child in all her energy and essence, 
her smell of nickel and pumpkin, of lavender and bay; 
in little songs she's hummed, in her oh so gentle play.

A universe herself, 
before she landed here; 
in radiant lovely laughter and dropped inside a tear. 

Then he came too, a baby bunting blue, strong with sinew
and happy in his plans, to dig and take apart; 
to see inside and quiz, and instruct his earnest heart.

He came as daddy's hope, 
with a dream inside his head; 
he long created plans and the dream was always said. 

Lady mother, to them both, 
with soft and creamy skin; 
and breath to breathe inside herself to give to her and him.

She married all in hope, 
for the best of happy times; 
and the joy that filled her eyes, she sung in blissful lilting rhymes.

Man daddy, rugged as rock
and quiet in his thought; 
could always love them all, for the secret that they brought.  

He found his life in her. 
She found her life in him; 
they laced in focus on their love and spirit kept within.

Different in their worlds 
yet cozy in their minds; 
that safe would be their life, since that's the tie that binds.

Looking up to God, 
then seeing in each face; 
their eyes are flecked with stardust, that came awhile from space. 

A family in a dream, 
too tiny to be seen; 
to great to know it's process in the galaxies routine.

Premium Member Light Shines In Total Darkness

" When one least expects...hope illuminates"                 




                                    Light Shines In Total Darkness


                           A moment in time where love should leave
                           when incompatibility muddy crystal waters
                           dissolves a tie that binds divine connection
                           widens the abyss as dream loudly shatters

                           Down on my knees I begged for a reprieve
                           gazes polarizing for to her nothing matters
                           in locked cages lay vestiges of desperation
                           intimacy now in tatters mutated to cinders

                           Aged moon will not commiserate then give
                           nebulous promises to stop onrushing tears
                           nor rays to light the path toward contrition
                           and turtle doves waving wings that glitters

                           Weary eyes reaching for salvation perceive
                           apparitions raising me up to alleviate fears
                           cleansing this heart throbbing in exultation
                           as grass springs anew...while grief withers.

Premium Member Lord Give Me Your Heart Let Your Words Proceed Out of Your Mouth-

Father speak every word before me 
Father where do my words come from 
All you say that they come from my heart 
But I am at dismay I am lost 
Lord I need some heart surgery
 I pray that you would remove all this the negativity 
Allow the overflow to come forward allow me to speak,
 those words of your thoughts of liberty 
Lord give me a heart 
Lord give me a heart
Lord give me your heart of a man who speaks wisdom and love of God
It's an emergency 
Flatline O' God Father where did this come from 
Out of my heart  God words and thoughts not like you 
Before I was cursings condemnation bitter anguish anger strife 
warring deploying living and speaking such a sinful life 

Words that come out do they represent your thoughts 
Are they of God and Christ Lord need your heart surgery 
O' God remove those things that are not like you 
Loose those minds that tie that binds me 
Let out of the overflow of my heart speak 
Nothing but love and life oh God 
Ooh! Lord Give Me Your Heart
Give me your heart 
Give Me Your Heart Lord 
Speak from my mouth
 Lord give me the words to say 
And the words to pray
Help me to acknowledge your goodness, in your way
Hallelujah I pray Give Me Your Heart Lord 
Give me the words the right words to say
My, my, my O' Lord give me your heart ??

Jesus Is Trump

What you need in your life you will find at Jesus tomb
There you will find the stone has been removed
He did not have to move the stone so that He could get out
But so that we could see inside the tomb and look about

They supposed He was the gardener that Easter morning
They looked and saw the stone removed, in their mourning
Why do you seek for the living in a tomb among the dead?
He is not here as you suppose, He is risen, just like He said

Why do you search among the dead and expect to find life
As if you expect to find light in the darkness of night
You won’t find life in drugs, jobs, sex, or in your looks
By attending church on Sundays or in self help books

See your life as a game of cards, and you have a bad hand
Use the empty tomb as your wild card, and you’ll understand
Jesus name is I AM your hope: I AM your trump over sin
I AM the truth and the life: I AM all that you need to win

Why do you search for what gives you life among the dead
Christ is your life, your living water and your daily bread
In Jesus name loose yourself from every death tie that binds
And give your life to Him as water and He will make it wine

My Grandpa

My Grandpa	

There are not many people in this world
That could say they have a Grandpa like mine
For as long as I remember he was always there
And when I went to school he’d call to see if I was fine

He taught me how to ride the bicycle
And brought me home a new fishing pole
Together we’d pack a lunch and a thermos
And head for our favorite fishing hole

He taught me how to clean the fish we caught
 And how to bait the hook just right
He showed me how to bring in the fish
Especially the ones that put up such a fight

I remember hot summer days   
And we would pack up and go swim
And camp for weekend of fun
Those memories for me will never dim

He is gone now these many years
But I will never forget the many times
He filled that empty feeling I have now
He was my anchor and tie that binds

No I shall never forget the times
 He would tease me into a smile
Telling me how much he loved me
 Making my summers all worthwhile.

He left behind so many things
When he left this world for another
But time marches on and the day will come
When once again we’ll  be together

Premium Member Father's Advice On Being a Man - For Adult Contest

Father's Advice On Being A Man
("For Adult Contest")

Father said to son never be ashamed to be a man,
should you get married, live your life with a plan.
Not too harsh or rigid, else failure you will see,
be a good decent man, the one you admire in me.

Life can be so very cruel, the world can be too,
live deeply as you love, loving family as we do.
You see, it is the responsibility to be as good
as your life will permit and you know you should.

Never be ashamed for the world to see you cry,
cry for joy, as life does go on even after you die.
Write your core principles deep into solid stone,  
for there are no overs after we are passed on.

Know that love is truly the great tie that binds,
watch whom you embrace, the world has all kinds.
Mothers are to be held in a very special embrace,
with love in your heart and a smile on your face.

If life ever gives you far more than you can bear
ask family to help, just you remember to share.
Remember the love coming from Mother and I,
walk a good path in this world and know the why.

Premium Member God's Labyrinth

God's Labyrinth

A game I play in a race in a maze against no ordinary race.
Where my human mind begins to raise the thoughts in box of lost and 
found. 
In order to see I have to open my eyes and sweep the seas.
The passion within will never exposes to compare the picture of one's 
stare.
Water and fire are 2 simile only I choose to see.
Hot and cold no one knows the beauty that will never show.
The sun and moon are 2 buddies blinding us with beauty like bullies.


Pulverizing my pain darken the stain with nothing to gain.
look inside you won't see beauty on this side where I hide while I'm 
alive.
Love bought me time from the enemy at the gate of hate and crime.
Ashes to ashes a life with no trust a box of rust and dust to dust.
To find the tie that binds true beauty beyond the skies, I would truly 
have to die.
I hold my chest~ pass all pawns across the chess of God's land holding 
his hand.
A puzzled walk connecting~dots of faith, hope, and victory in God's 
Labyrinth.
