Met him on trip to New York
I rode in his cab...

Call out to me in the night
On days that are not so bright
Undo what cannot be changed
Right now will never be the same
Till I face time and become a man
Now I’ve finally come to understand
Even if love says our time is due
You and I both know how much I love you...

G.  good luck from here 
O.  open highways and fresh clean air
O.  optimistic horizions for us to share
D.  down and out without fear
L.  lots of time to shed a tear
U.  understand what keeps me here
C.  caught in an understatement left not to clear
K.  kept for good memories from us as a pair

He was a singer named Kurt,
Courtney Love made him hurt.
She tore his heart,
Right from the start.
Now he's dead and she's to blame,
She stole his legacy, his life, his name.
A single shot and he was dead,
She put a bullet through his head.
She wreaked his life,
As his 'loving' wife.
SHE KILLED KURT!!!...

Dreams of a fetus shattered
Your bitter hate 
Praying for its demise
Dancing for rain
Cutting the umbilical cord that brings you life

Dead inside
Just a forgotten carrion
Left in the battlefield
Mourning the divorce of your sanctity

Suicidal dolls, disguised as love
Begging for death
Swallowing my fate 
Consigned by you

Some fragment of a memory
stems off into an abyss of pain,
you can't hide from it
when you're all alone with a glass
that looks empty,
green olive on a fancy toothpick
with some small red void of love
for you to seep into,
your ramblings are getting deeper
and we are your only listeners,
take another sip and be thankful
your memories are all that lasts....

Mr. Jeremy Brown
His students he had to calm down
He tried to teach them English
But ended up in confused anguish

Miss Courtney
The principal who hated men's blarney
Paid Mr. Brown's class a surprise visit
Not one correct answer could she elicit

Your beauty is a ripe and full
as the moon in view
so many tried to compete but there
talents were to few
for the mother that you are
is a hard act to follow
the love that you bring
voids the hollow
for our child's life is vibrant
due to your generous amount of love
so happy mother's babe
for you have to give you already gave.
(To my wife Courtney Dyer)...

F- Flight of ones senses, delight with a name.
R- Religion without fences, carry on from day to day. 
E- Earthquakes from desires, caught with-in natures way.
E- Equipped is which it came.
D- Destiny and fate with it that they came.
O- Oppression to a minium, jumping for the cake.
M- Many men and families striving for it's name.
 Freedom isn't a option in a lot of parts of the world.

Engulfed by the mighty waves in your darkened sea
Cascading towards me, every crash in the surf causing ripples to expand
Drowning in the residual effects of your indifference and brutal wrath
What lingers causes us to decay
We never burn in the deadly inferno
That is surrounding us
It is the spark that is left behind
That ignites the fiery explosion
That we never anticipate

Today is so very special
the day you were chosen
the cutest smile
and most vibrant halo
you were brighest of the cherubs
and once again we celebrate 
the day your path was laid
that lead you to my door step
and conquered my heart

 So I say have a very special
Adoption Day
be cheerful and proud
for this day means as much to me as it does to you.

(for my wife Courtney Dyer)
P.S read her poetry she's good...

Come one come all hurry do not hide
 I want you to come along on a magic carpet ride
 Cap in hand, sit don't stand
 We'll whisk away to our favorite land
 
Andrea Dietrich sit for a spell
 I will tell you now my magic tale
 Of days of adventure on foreign sands
 Left in wonder to what is at hand
 
Open our imaginations and figure out how to steer
 And then how to fly this rug or buy some beer

Who loves me enough to keep track of me by the color of the sky?
Who is the one who still loves me if I win, loose or die?
 My Dad
He stands among a chosen few
There are a lot things for him to do
Obligations, situations countries all a mess
He puts his best foot forward and does his best
 My dad loves me and I love him to
When we are together theres nothing us two 
Couldn't do, because we are the same, nothing new
 My dad and I the same and God knows why

Hidden Treasure
Hidden, locked away
A last resort
A compromise
When your well has gone dry
You search endlessly for me
Certain that my presence 
Always awaits your lonely soul
Underneath your dreamscape 
Here I remain
Your reality
I will be your mirror
When delusions are before you
For you I bear this cross
Because my heart beats for you

Just a memory to you so often
Your buried treasure lies here
Waiting to be discovered

I love you, I love thee not
Don't go afar my love is right here
Do your part, show a little love.
Open up your heart show me you love me.

Perfection in your eyes
Every minute worthy, never unnoticed.
Show me what I've been waiting for.
Without you, what is left of me.
Say it now before its to late . 
Time is passing, i'm slowly dying.
All I need to hear is THREE simple words.

The clock hit three your time is up.
I'm now just a memory of what used to be.

Words cannot explain to you
My empty heart, now cold.
With this feeling locked inside
Stuck there till I'm old.

You cannot see regret in me
Mistakes I thought would set me free

You cannot know of what you have
until its actually gone
And I just lost and angel, girl
Others call, "the one".

So here I sit, so deeply sorry
Really trying
Not to worry.

I was wrong, I have to say
I wish that you were here to stay.

My heart will always have Courtney
Your name....

Beautiful horizons on the Earths hemisphere
 Leaning backward gently make my worries disappear
 Words said softly with a new attitude
 The sun sets softly in a west worldly mood
 
Cotton candy colors blend till their blued
 All Gods time well spent after a hot afternoon
 Hot pinkish shadows follow gray clouds scoon
 We're waiting for the rain that is coming soon
 
Watching the wondrous sunset
 Coming up over the edge of the world
 And waiting for the moon
