Football giant.
The lovable grizzly bear
Used a stadium for his lair.

Hidden within the depths of words written in the blackest of ink
Are the truths only you and I know
Locked away until the devil speaks his poison
When my retaliation and revenge will be revealed

By Tim Bryant



Wild
Brain flows
Side to side
Stirs an image
Sparks passion and illuminates my pen

Writing deep mysteries that are within
My mind so wild
Sided, it
Clears out
Pain

Think twice and lose,

Doubt leads to fear and confusion

Think twice and lose

Early bird gets it as you snooze

Time's ticking, turn off delusion

To control, forgone conclusion

Think twice and lose

Tayler
Different, Brave-ish, Energetic
Wishes to be free to do whatever
Dreams of people that can’t remember their dreams
Wants to become a great cosmetologist
Who wonders about life
Who fears of death at so young
Who is afraid of life
Who believes in God
Who loves life now
Who plans to live
Who feels different every day

Bryant’s Necropolis Conceit
 
Silent halls of death so cometh
William Cullen Bryant
Thanatopsis supremeus now
A sepulchre awaits us all.

Dour darkness and shroud forever
Thanatopsis-Phantasmus
The spirit world so beckons us
We all shall so wither and fall.

Young afraid heard tales told
Boarded upon ships
Not in search of gold
Far from family home
Life of drudgery

Mary Bryant
Daring lady
She escaped 
Facing dangers

New life hers
Soon found out
Sent back home

Famous 
Was she

Pardoned

(Loosely based on the story of Mary Bryant who was in prison in Whales and sent to 
Australia  to serve out her sentence.)...

YOU are kind, carring, and compassionate
YOU bring out the best in me
YOU can see the good side of any bad situation
YOU show me the world in a whole new perspective
YOU are everything to me
I adore you
I love how you have influenced my life and thoughts about everything
I never want to lose you
I wish for every day to be a great day for you
I hope you never change

DEDICATED TO CHRIS BRYANT...

a sad, tragic day
frozen in mute disbelief
extremely surreal


Tribute: 
More than one of the greatest and influential basketball players of all time, Kobe Bryant was a great human being, extremely humble, an intellectual sports icon. An American treasure who will be horribly missed.

RIP, Kobe Bryant: 1978-2020
RIP, Gianna Marie Bryant: 2006-2020
*Deepest condolences to the entire Bryant family*

Another day of mystery
Has now come to its end
How will we field the loss
Of our hero and our friend

Life is very fragile
It comes with its ups and downs
Enjoy each moment you are given
Even when it makes you frown

So many he has mentored
So much that he did gain
So many that he did help
With his fortune and his fame

Now we say good bye
We now shall bid adieu
The world will miss you Kobe Bryant
And your beautiful daughter to...
