Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend,
I miss You,
Miss our little talks and those that lasted for hours,
Miss our midnight mindless talks,
times when we didn't care at all,
about the past nor the future,
time when the present was the only thing that mattered,
And with you by my side, my demons they were slaughtered,
Dear old friend,
I want you to know that you still matter,
And you always did,
You were with me through the darkest paths,
And made the fire seem like a warm bath,
You probably have moved on,
And I'm just a lost memory that's long gone,
And that's fine, totally fine,
Probably our connection has crossed the expiry line,
Dear old friend,
But how do I ever move on,
Cause our memories keep me up till dawn,
And with you everything seemed so calm,
Dear old friend,
If i could turn back time and get back to you, 
I will sacrifice everything i have if that's what i have to.

A beige sun cap was found
floating in the lake where
he was last seen swimming.

A cradle cap lies with the sweet
powdery baby scent still
lingering in her empty crib.

A blue baseball ball cap on
wet pavement amidst broken
glass fragments and bent bicycle.

A green girl scout cap clinging
to brush over the side of a cliff
where sun dried grasses grow.

A white graduation cap amidst
the mangled magenta Mazda,
broken beer bottle below the boughs.

A veteran camouflage cap half
burried in the desert sands, sun
bleached, made in the U.S. of A.

A Letter To a Broken Hearted Mom

Why do you cry,why do you cry mom
You don't to cry no more,I'm luck to have
you
with out you I wouldn't be living,you gave me
life,
I don't want you to suffer no more over us now
even though I had sadness in my life with out 
I still love you.
You was in my heart for so many years,all my birthday's
everything,
graduation for high school, but i always had a empty heart,
thought never seeing you again was madness,
I heard of stories of you,to me you was a mire shadow to me
and was it really true I had sisters,was it a lie
Or was I just stringed along like bait.
my heart struggled for so many years,when my dad said you
left and didn't want nothing to do with us.
I was angry mom,my hatred towards people was bad
and my hatred towards you was in point of hatred and sadness
I felt like I had no where to go.
but one day my aunt sat me down and said don't hate your
mother,
she told me always remember you and make her proud
but my words to you mom is
mommy i'm ok now,your son is ok..don't worry no more

Daddy's Girl

She runs and plays,
She seeks and hides
So happy it seems,
What's locked inside?

Silent tears,
A rain filled glass.
It hides deep down,
Under the mask.

The days came and went,
And the years slipped by.
You never cared,
'Bout the tears she'd cry.

She bounced and played,
That little girl.
Unshared moments,
Not a care in the world.

Her graduation,
Has come and gone.
Without you there,
Her day still shone.

But inside she wondered,
Where you were.
Why her special day,
You didn't share with her.

And at her wedding,
She'll wonder why,
You're not there to give her away,
To her wonderful guy.

Now a young woman,
With emptiness in her heart
Inside she screams,
"You should have been there from the start!!!"

Cheek in hand,
A lock of hair she twirls.
She's filled with empty dreams,
Of being daddy's girl.
sad

Senior Year Nightmare

Drooping decorations
and graduation mayhem turned to
tears and depression after
fight with high school steady.
The memory of prom date from hell
will hopefully disappear.
The elaborate hairdo was
furiously brushed out,
and the uncomfortable formal
packed away in the attic to be
given to charity next year.
The sweet whispers of love and 
the notes passed in study hall
behind the back of old Mrs. Jenkins,
the talk of a wedding the following summer,
became heartbreaking memories
when Tiffany Blake came to town.


Scholarly Imprisonment.

back to school, in the fall.
the sun still beating down on sidewalks,
baking skin and half-dead leaves.
trapped inside a classroom
with similar minds.
cramped by unoriginality and theories.
longing to stand in the wind,
or lay in the grass.
with blue skies and the warm kiss of sun,
allowing a pen to scribble without censorship.
all my thoughts, feelings, crimes.
no one to grade them.
no one to judge.
but still i will sit.
in new clothes and cut hair.
counting the days that pass.
with bad photographs, failed tests,
trips on yellow monsters.
back to school, back to imprisonment.
mold my mind, your times almost up.
graduation in june.
then freedom.

An Unforgettable Father

An unforgettable
father you are,
As if you left me 
trapped in a glass jar.

Not much space to 
see what i please,
Lord please cure me 
from this sicking disease.

Disease of hurt and pain,
As deceitful thoughts of you 
float through the brain.

Days you missed 
i cant forget,
Left out in the rain 
all cold and wet.

My graduation 
how could you,
No excuses yet 
I'm not through.

A card, balloons, 
you showing up,
Would have over
turned my cup.

What going on 
I'm confused,
Why is it that i 
Have to be abused?

I don't know what to say
Cause these things bother,
The thoughts of  you
and unforgettable father.

Lost Fight

To the man who was never there
There are moments that can never be relived 
Those are the moments that you’ll never remember 
My first day of school, my first crush, my first date, 
my first prom, and my high school graduation
All of these you’ve missed
And I will always remember that you did 
Tears were happy and sad
The fact that I am always your daughter 
But you have never taken the time to really be my dad
I’ve done everything but I cant anymore
I may be your daughter but
I wont fight for your time or you anymore
My tears are done, my anger finished 
Soon I’ll be married and my last name changed 
Its time that I relinquish and give up a long ago 
Lost Fight

Today Is Gone

Today I saw my life pass me by
I saw my first steps
My first kiss, he was much cuter when we where little kids
I saw my first day of Kindergarten, Junior and High school, I cant believe I used to 
wear that
I saw me going on my first date
And then going to prom with him 
Then breaking up because he wanted to just be friends,
And how I cried for days
Graduation soon came and how I missed my friends over the years
Then college where I meet my true love, after many misses 
I Gaduated then was soon married the following December
We had twin girls then fell in love and adopted a little boy and soon came another 
boy
I remember seeing them all take there first steps and seeing my two little girls go 
to kindergarten 
But that’s where my life ends,  
Someone took one to many drinks,
“I was only buzzed though.” I heard him say as they walked him passed me,
while I and my youngest son lay under white sheets
I said good-bye to my girls and husband while they where in the operating room
My son Nathan cried when I told he couldn’t stay in Heaven with James, Jesus 
and I
Three lives lost today two without a memory to remember

Graduation Goodbye

High school days are gone
And all the work are done
As we are about to take a leap
Our memories together I will keep

There will be tears to cry
As we move on and bid goodbye
I know it will be hard to fly
Without you on my way up high

Thanks for the lift
That is a great gift
The jokes and your smile
Made me forget the pain for a while

Now is the time to take the crown
Don't face the world with a frown
Let them see your smiling face
And dancewith them with grace

When all of today's work are done
It  doesn't mean our freindship is gone
I hope someday you'll be fine
You'll realize that  . . . 
Graduation is not Goodbye
