Remember To - Remember Me

Remember to 
Remember me
Even if that means
That you will not forget
the bad times that we shared
I just want you to
Remember to
Remember me.

Wild Flowers

I look out the window
Morning dew rests upon
the wild flowers
A tear rolls down my face
I imagine you 
wiping it away
As you have so many 
times before
But you are no longer
here
The suns rays dry the
dew on the wild flowers
Still, my tears remain
I thought it was forever
But you left
Just after the rain.

Game Over

My hand fits on it 
holding it with expertise
I hold its oval body made of pig skin
Firmly to my chest
Sprinting down the field
Towards the "END ZONE"
Dodging strong, heavy bodies
Helmets hit, shoulders pads collide
As I throw the ball 
On its last flight...Touchdown

Race Day

As I wait my turn in line
Overwhelming Excitement
Screams through my body, 
Adrenaline bulges my veins
to the point they might explode

The smell of burnt rubber lingers
everywhere
Pull up to the line
I push the start button
Feel the car begin to rumble
So much power under the hood

My foot on the brake and the gas 
Simultaneously
Watch the lights, nervously
My hands wet with sweat
as I grip the wheel tightly

I see RED...
My right foot stomps the pedal to the floor
My body is pushed full-force by gravity
into the buckled seat
The rumble of the motor blasts my ears
Spectators are mere dots passing by so fast
My heart leaps out of my chest
My FLIGHT is over...in a mere 7 seconds

Alzheimer Creed

Don't you know
I want to go home
Not where I live now
But where I lived long ago
In the house, where as a child,
I had grown

Don't you see
I am no longer me?
Please look and see, there
is a small child
Here inside with me
Look closely into my eyes,
the innocence you will see
For it no longer subsides

Can you listen
To all my questions
And answer them with ease
I know I keep repeating them
But Please...be patient with me

There are things that make
me sad
You really hurt my feelings
When you scream and yell
When your words are harsh
When you look so mad
Please remember it is not my fault
That I no longer remember
normal, daily routines
Just take my hand and help me
Together, we will get it done
You and me

Can you understand
Part of me has gone
It is lost inside my mind
Hiding all my memories
Sometimes if you're lucky
You may catch a glimpse
if only for a moment
Please, just cherish it
I need you to understand
I have forgotten so much
I wish I could remember
Who you are and where you're from

Golden Hands...

You touch me with your golden hands
Take away my pain
In sweet silence
We dance together in heavens morning rain
You hold me close in loving arms
Safe inside, so safe inside
Sad memories drift into the bitter past
Your gentle face before me, oh I want to last
Birds sing new melodies,
Written now in their minds
Just for you, just for me
Hold me forever, for all times
I have waited so long, too long
For this moment to come
For you, my prince, my knight in shining armor
To touch me with your golden hands
Take away my pain 
In sweet silence
Dancing together...in heavens morning rain.

Heartache

Elegantly the clouds dance
across the sky
The wind whistles
A tear falls from my eye
But it doesnt matter
Because my tears blend
in with the raindrops
that fall hard to the ground
The soil soaks them in
Making muddy pools
Which drown my feet
My heart aches for you...
The wind blows the trees

The Dying Rose

I walked into the garden,
Picked a dying rose.
A few petals fell to the
ground
As I silently carried it home.
Once inside I filled a vase
with water.
I placed the rose inside, and
set it upon the table.
I sat and drank a cup
of tea
Thinking that maybe, the rose
would enjoy my company.
After a while, I turned in 
for the night.
In the morning when I
awoke,
I looked at the dying rose,
To my surprise, from my love...
                the rose began to bloom.

Awakening

Walking along the old, crumbled
stone that shatters beneath my feet
I pause to gaze at the hummingbird
that has stopped to flutter 
above the rainbowed wildflowers
That the morning dew has glistened on,
Giving them just enough of a drink 
to refresh them
Before the blazing sun
shines down to wither
their petaled bodies
Small animals hurriedly scurry
out of my sight
A nature-made wooden bench
Smoothed from weather-ware
catches my  heavy eyes
I stop to rest my aching feet
Still gazing at the peacefulness
that surrounds me
I am lost to this world
As if it were only a dream

I awaken to nightfall
My eyes adjusting to my
surroundings
A small amount of fear wells
up into my throat
I run, deeper into the woods
Each step that I take
upon the beaten, narrowed path
Snaps twigs beneath my feet
Trying to grip my legs
Almost tripping me
As the moon smiles down
With its full, fat face
I look at all the beauty
And I feel...so out of place

To My Brother

I don't think that I have ever told you
That you were my very first best friend
When we were just little
you were my favorite person to play with

You were the only one
who could put a smile on my face
A smile that was "REAL", not fake
You were always there to ease the pain
The only one who could truly understand
You know what I mean

I remember all the goofy things you did
Just to make me laugh
I remember all the fun
we used to have

Now that we have grown up
Not much has really changed
You are still the person I want to call
When something good happens
Or if I am having a bad day and 
I just need to talk

Though we are miles apart
I still feel so close to you
I miss spending time together
I really miss you

I wanted to tell you the things
I think about everyday
But in our busy lives
I don't get to say

I want you to know that you are the BEST
To thank you for all
the memories
I remember all the little things
Like your "burping air-guitar"
All the stupid, funny things we did
All the rides in my piece of crap gray car

But most of all I want to tell you
That I love you more than words can say
That you are not only my brother...
But my BEST FRIEND too
