Richard Roper Poem
My stomach knots and my head is spinning, my blood is pumping and my heart
is racing. I sit and wait but my mind is pacing back and forth. My freedom rests in
the hands of a total stranger and a lawyer I have never seen. I am asked to trust
someone with my life that has never proven anything to me and try to convince
me he is competent enough to play god with my life. I had dreams to have a wife
and kids but as I sit and wait I see my life slip further and further away. The
harder I pray the more what I thought was so clear has now become so dark and
grey. The one I love is so far away but I still don't know how to say all I wish to
say. All I can think is please stay please stay, and then I look around and realize I
was thinking out loud. Some people looked at me as if I was crazy and some
looked as if they had sympathy for the pain my heart was going through. I glance
around and start to feel all the pain in everyone elses eyes as they die a little just
like me. The people that judge our fate must not feel or they would not strip our
soul away and play the role of my god.
"in loving memory of my brother
you will never be forgotten"

Richard Roper Poem
I am taking what's left of my broken soul because there is nothing left for me
here. this pain, its all too real, in my head I scream this cant be for real. I'm a
prisoner held captive in this broken life. I'm scared of this fate that has been
given to me, never again will I feel complete. Pain in life is so funny in how we
see things so very clearly when the time of life is over. I've got to be dreaming but
I can't wake up from this. I accept this as my place now. So I lay back and let this
shattered soul take it's time to reflect, don't make a sound and don't wake me
from this end.

Richard Roper Poem
When i look into your eyes I know its true. My heart has never lied to me be for so
I am in love with you. I remember the day that I knew I had to be with you, that day
always plays in my mind. You looked so perfect in your jeans and shirt I
remember that night you slipped into my dreams. I truly wish I could be with you
because my love for you is stronger than words & songs could ever express. I
am so warped in my head by this feeling of love. I'm hollow because I cant make
the wrongs in my life right again. Lost because I long for you every minute of
every day. My shaterred soul is lonely because I miss the gentle warmth as your
soul touches mine, my heart is scar d & my faith in love is tested because we
can't be together again. I'm forever lost & alone in an empty abyss because I love
you. My abandoned soul is forever ripping while my tears are slowly dripping, but
always know I love you.
