It is So Amazing to be Alive
Every time I think I am done
The goddamn sun it shines
For I then see the light
I look around and I see life
It reminds me it ain't so bad
I know shit could be worse
So now I wear a smile on my shoulder
Coz I know the sun shines on me
There is not...

It Hurts
It hurts to hurt you
It hurts to see you cry
It hurts to know your pain
It hurts not to feel your pain
It hurts to keep moving on
It hurts not to hold you close
It hurts so bad it spurts
It hurts so I hurt you more...

A Poem Dedicated to My Friends
As of yesterday I have been privileged to exist on this planet in the present form for a quarter century. Thinking about it humbles me as the blessings that I have received are far more than what I deserve.
I realize that this life is a shared experience and I am...

Love Me……
Written for the girl at the bar:
Love me
Show interest
In me
Look
At me
I am
Beautiful
I long
For love
But I am
Satisfied
with sex
Love me
Look at me...

Bring it on, I am Waiting
Storm clouds gather around my head
As my mistakes crowd around my shed
Today is a nightmare in broad daylight
Tomorrow but a speck in the dark storm clouds
Yet here I stand, facing my storm
Frozen with fear, down to the last bone
I face you my fear, I embrace you in full
Make me...

I Search for You
I search for you,
In all the wrong places.
I search for you,
In all the wrong people.
I search for you,
Though I know not where you are.
I search for you,
Hope I search not in vain.
I search for you,
I will search till I find you.

Hello Stranger
You Walk by,
I see you;
You know me not,
I know you not;
You face is radiant,
I think you are beautiful;
You order your latte,
I sip my green tea;
You turn around,
I look at you;
You smile,
I smile too;

Yet There is Hope
Looking at the mirror
I face the emptiness
The image once admired
Now derided and in shame
Looking out to the sky
I see but dark rain clouds
The sight once beloved
Now a screen from all my dreams
Looking around my world
I see but toil and hate
Their dreams once shined bright
Now but a shadow of their past
But...

The Lost Spark
Battles were fought
Wars were won
Storms were borne
Hearts turned to stone
Ideal are lost
Ethics compromised
I search for myself
For love and principles lost
I have lost in me
The spark of love
Of love and passion
Of smiles and tears...

Missing You?
I thought I'd be fine
I'd leave and it will be all good.
I thought I was protecting you
I still think I did the right thing.
I still think you deserve better
I still think you deserve to be happy.
But now I miss you
I miss being able to talk to you.
I miss holding you
I...
