Remembering My Mother

Now when I think of you
I remember the last years 
You helped me to recover 
A place I never could have reached
Showing me the true love of my mother
No matter how hard I pushed away
By my side you would stay

You helped through my hardest time
Forgiving my life's mistakes
Devoted yourself to my recovery 
We grew closer than I ever remember
We had moments together
That will last forever

I still can't believe 
When I recovered
The fatal illness
You were diagnosed 
That would take you from us
But my memories will never be taken 

As I pass the cemetery walls
To see your final resting place
You will always be on my mind
Kneeling here I think... 
Are you watching over me
From someplace far beyond

Grand Generations

After a certain age 
A situation many never see
Is now directly infront of me
As I give words to comfort 
The same way that she had once done
She looks so frail and weak
But still smiles at me
And reaches for a kiss
So I lean over
As her hand slowly raises 
To meet my face
I just can't believe this
As I think about it
My amazing Grandmother
Smiling since 1922

Painful Memories

Remembering what I saw
Is this memory for real
Am I torturing myself for nothing
Will this last 
Should I worry
It happened in the past
Thinking about what's in this life
Does it even matter how I feel
I'm just a man left alone
Surrounded by his own misery

Most people have turned on me
I did not realize 
This is it how I chose to be
Not how I wanted to make it
Never considering why 
I didn't think about what I had
What I feel seems so fake
Today I'll just hide the pain
All I can do is try to visualize 
What my mind cannot see

It took my youth from me
Still thinking to this day
Of a terrible memory
When I almost died
I looked for a new life
Left those who wanted to stay
I pushed true love away
No one knew when I cried 
My soul to filled with false pride
For these mistakes 
I would be forced to pay
With my own sanity

The benefits that came so fast
They were not enough
Because now I see 
They would not last 
I am to blame
I should not have left   
Love only comes once                  
It will never be the same
I can not relive my life
I can not reclaim the past
Now I must set myself free
At last my future may belong to me

Life After Death

The end of life 
What can it be
Heaven or hell?
Or maybe rebirth
There are many theories

What will happen after my last breath
Can I count on Karma 
Or in the after life before resurrection
Will I be communicating with the spirits
Maybe I will be seeking nirvana

Maybe religion isn't how I should think
Atheists who don't believe in the divine
Could it all just be scientific
Maybe I shouldn't worry either way
And just be agnostic

So many choices
Which one to believe
Are any of these real
Or is this just a dream
I just don't know how to feel

The Maze of Life

Trapped in the maze of life 
A path in my view
Looking yet nothing is seen  
Voices are yelling
Listening, I cannot hear a thing
Forces are pushing
Standing straight, I do not lean
I must break free 
If I  do what will be

Why can't I find my way
What can I do to get away
Organize the thoughts in my mind
Untangle myself from this web
Be calm and think to be freed 
Then I will find what I need

Both body and mind are strong
What can be wrong
Facts are true but feelings confused
A mind half right
The problems left unviewed
This is wanted 
Emotions left out of sight

They say let someone in
Anyone 
A relative 
A friend
Maybe they can mend
They cannot have what they seek
This battle must be fought alone
I will not be shown to be weak

Only the Good Die Young Dark Limerick

Even though "Only the good die young"
A very well known song that's sung
But should it be said
Means less in the head
They wanted death before off the tongue

I Have Lost My Smile

There is so much that I have seen and
There is so much that I have done
During my time alive
So close to achieving so many dreams
Continuing my struggle to survive
I have overcome so many odds but
During this time, I have lost my smile
I just need to separate myself 
And be alone for awhile
I close my eyes
I return to a past in my mind
Where there is no one
Now I need to be alone
To ever feel a smile

Opposite Views From the Middle of the Universe

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to be alive 
When fear is conquered, everyone will be alive
The truth is revealed when bravery is set free
Medicine cures illness, everyone will be alive
Create a cool wave of healing to save
Able to fight terror, everyone will be alive
Will not bend to someone else's sender 
When people find peace, everyone will be alive
End of war and pointless killing will be no more
As I watch I only want to see happiness and bliss  



In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to die
When all people show fear, everyone will die
Blazing balls of fright glowing so bright
As disease consumes, everyone will die
Hot flames of death with every last breath
Disabled by terror, everyone will die
Giving life to the invader's knife
On the day of the final war, everyone will die 
As the final body falls the end of time calls
As I watch I want to see pain, suffering and death

Two opposite ways to look at life from the middle of the universe.

True Love Pushed Away

Thinking back to the day  
I thought we would never part 
Then suddenly my life would change
Going through a terrible time
My mind would drift away
Parts of life I needed to rearrange 
Although my mind was not alert
By my side you would always stay 
Even as my heart slowly drifted away 

I chose false friends over true love
A love I will never find again
During this time feeling so far away
I made this world my world
Only caring about myself
Thinking I wanted to be alone
You never gave up on our love
A love that I did not show
Again you stayed at my side
I continued to push our love away
For this I will always pay
Pay with this terrible pain

It has been so long 
I realize  the mistakes made
I Never meant to hurt you
I was consumed with myself
I Know that I was wrong
Still you mean so much to me
Now I see you with someone else
I pretend that I don't care
Inside I'm hiding every tear 

Sitting by myself
Thinking of you and the times we had
Our song is played on the radio
"And if I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear"
My life is filled with regret

I pushed true love away
Everyday I look to the sky 
A tear is cried and I ask myself, why?

Cereal Killers

The the real maniacs to dread
Are ones you don't think will kill you
Not the murderers in the news you once read
In the morning think about who's in view

Why do you fear a man like john Wayne Gacy
He's locked away and cannot harm you
A guy who should really make you worry
Is the kid who always Liked it, Little Mikey 

Don't think that you may get eaten by Jeffery Dahmer
There is no  need to worry
You need to think about getting eaten by Tony the Tiger
Don't think he won't hurt you just because he's furry

Don't get scared by the BTK Killer 
While eating breakfast there's an animal that you see
He may laugh but be afraid of Woody Woodpecker
He has a sharp beak and is as dangerous as can be

You shouldn't waste your time being scared of Ted Bundy
Just another with no one left to scare
When eating his charms there's a killer leprechaun who feels lucky
It's him that you really need to fear

The last is don't think about Charles Manson
He may be the worst
But in the morning when you hear a crunch be aware of the Cap'n
Of the dangerous morning mascots he ranks first
