Forward

So now is a time, to start once again.

A time to move forward, a time to make friends.

Who here can claim they never have sinned?

Only one knows, the places one's been...

Some might say I've been selfish,

Some might say I've been mean.

No one to embellish,

I've done things wished unseen..

But they were...

I'm just a person, with all of my faults.

I've done too many cursing, and verbal assaults.

So I stopped in my tracks, came to a halt.

To pause for a moment, collect all of my thoughts.

To review my "persona" then to move forward.

Cull the "cans" from the "Wannas" define goals to move towards

I am sure...

To move on, to go forward, learn more every day.

Like a swan on the water, I'm striving to stay.

Waves of calm that do start here, and slowly decay,

Like the waves on a lake, or the tides in a bay.

The moon's tidal wake, and the night and the day..

This worlds what me make, How we act and we play.

Compelling allure....

Like ships on the ocean,

Hearts are at stake,

In the sea of emotion,

Does one give, or one take?

AFTER NINE

After 9 months I was borned to this small green and blue ball we call home. As of age 9 I started

to see girls a little different than before. I was told if you had less than 9 inches you were not considered a man (?). After completing my homework 9 was a reward to stay up and watch T.V. and hang with the adults. Each year after the month of nine I get a year older and wider lol. Now there is one more 9 that effected all of us what is so special about this number not much for anyone until now. Now I blink 9 times before i wake ,9 steps to refresh the body, 9 breaths to refresh the soul, 9 kisses to the ones I love, 9 steps to work, 9 taps to log in, 9 breaks during the day. What time do I usually get home from work 9, and the list goes on how many times are you going to read this ??? say it with me 9. This number brings a lot of emotions to me some more Happy than sad. But I know there is always something after 9 well may be not promised but I look for it. Because life goes on in it's own way. this poem is not done I have 9 more verses....

A Plea

That tuesday everyone's whole world was changed,

Our daily routines and lives rearranged,

It's so surreal now familiar things seem so strange,

Our history, our memory, indelibly stained.

And so it begins, the long predicted "Jihad",

The war that transcends territorial sod,

The war over different interpretations of God,

Down the painfull path of future history we do trod.

God help us as we step into the breech,

Our enemies dispersed, so out of reach,

Let us now put into practice just what we preach,

The ideals our religions so strive to teach.

Let us pray there's a future, when this has all past,

A civilization that can flourish and last,

Not the hell of the spells of subnuclear we can cast,

To destroy the whole world in a atomic blast.

Changes of Fear

The most massive structures ever built by man,

Were reduced to shards of steel and sand,

All most likely by the hand,

Of a insane man with a insane plan.

The world has therefore forever changed,

International relations rearranged,

America, a nation today in pain,

Will avenge the evil act of shame..

World's famous icons we no longer see,

How we react will be key,

To what in the future the world will be,

But be sure we remain free..

This morning as I watched TV,

Had trouble accepting what I see,

I had felt the blast in OKC,

This is bigger than that by power of three.

Let's hope we do not jerk the knee,

Go on a big time tomahawk spree,

Cause the very last thing that we need,

Is to start World War III.

CAN IT BE

Can it be that when I laid eyes on you I was looking at a fortune.

Can it be that you are what every man wants and day dreams about .

Can it be that you are priceless and no other woman can compare to you

Can it be .that you make me the luckiest man alive

Can it be that your eyes are more attractive than diamonds

Can it be that you are to good to be true and being with you seems like a dream

Can it be that your skin feels smoother than a silk robe.

Can it be that you make me proud of myself for being with you.

Can it be that I am proud of you because of what you are and what you make me.

Can it be

If you allow

If you allow me, I will walk with you in silence and let our souls

communicate with one another without words, we would not need to speak.

If you allow me, I will serve you on command, bathe your body complete hands and feet.

If you allow me, I will sing you your favorite song.

If you allow me, I will let you always be right even when you`re wrong.

If you allow me, I will massage your thoughts and lick your...

If you allow me, I will caress you and take you to a new high.

If you would allow me, I will lick til the last drip of sweet nectar is drawn down.

If you allow me, I will kiss your sweet mahogany lips as you lay sleep my beautiful chocolate brown.

Sure to please, never to tease, If you would just please allow me a simple chance..

Can I be

I have one question for you can I be all that you want me to be.

Can I be the air that you breathe, can I be the sun that shines only on you.

Can I be that comforter that you reach for on cold nights.

Can I be the tear drops of pleasure that warms your smooth face.

Can I be the smile or sigh that escapes after a hard days work.

Can I be the place you go for solitude when things get you pressured.

Can I be the passion of a gentle kiss by children when no one is looking.

Can I be the hug you need to let you know all is O.K.

Can I be the friend you can tell anything and not be judged.

Can I be all these things and one more, your heart.

Sands in my eyes

Well I'm up here again, who would of thought I could fly.

Caught up in this cold bird with brothers and sisters I never knew.

Air whistling around us but I can only hear the prayers of the sons, daughter, mothers and fathers next to me wishing for a return flight. Imagine four days ago I was shoveling snow now I'm about to get sand in my eyes.

Mother you made the scarf I keep around my neck with love, thank you so much. Father I hold Dear the words and

encouragement of a past eagle who came back to the nest.

My lil brother keep my room clean and stay out of my black book. Lil sister you are so crazy and thanks for the hugs and I will return them when you see me. More than oil I keep telling myself I am doing this. Thats the last thing I would raise a fist for. But for my country's peace of mind and the safety of the future I will get sand in my eyes, but the tears of hope will keep my vision clear for tomorrow. Here I go into the blue......

Tears are like rain

We all are surrounded with tears in our lives. When life begins there are tears of joy

and when death comes we shed tears of sorrow. Tears come at a moments

notice. Sometimes at a movie or remembering a great joke told to us by a friend. Lets try to

remember the smiles that are sprinkled in between the tears. Tears are like rain that cleans

the soul and replenishes the spirit. When we hold back we tend to block the ducts and cause harm

to our vessel. I say let the tears flow and get in a good cry. Go to a quiet place and just release it. Let the

storm pass and look forward to better days. We all know there will be some overcast days. When the storm starts walk in the rain with no umbrella and let everyone see you cry.
