Shadows of my past
Following me into the twilight
Forever leaving an imprint on my days
Sometimes pulling me back
Leaving a note of melancholy on my soul
Only the melody of your love pulls me through
A light in the darkness of this world
You are the Way, the Truth and the Light
Showing this sinner a worth that was lost
Leading my steps forward on this path of my life
You are my Shepard
Into your arms I will go
Leaving these shadows of my past

Glancing into your eyes
I see the beauty of that girl I fell for so long ago
A look that I almost lost
Mistakes and miscues I had made
Left me with a unthinkable cost
I know that all is not perfect
But I will love you with no regrets
Looking at your eyes I know the way back
Your heart I shall ever protect
Never taking for granted that which you have given
By your side I shall ever stand
Until the end and I am holding God’s mighty hand
You are my heavenly gift
Within your eyes my heart shall never be adrift
You are my love, my life, my one and only

A smile upon your face
A twinkle from your eyes
The warmth from your embrace
The Softness of your caress
Passion dripping from your lips
Happiness is what I have from you
My love and heart are forever true
A journey through life we share
No one else will ever do
With you is all I want
Together forever
In this life and the next we will always be
What do you do when the one you love is sad and blue
How do you make the hurt stop
Telling them it will be ok
Won’t take the pain away
A hug, a kiss or a look
Will this help today
Just being there for them
It is what I try to do
Inside I feel a failure
However I shall never give up
Never go away
I will love you each day
Until those blues are a memory left in the past
My love for you is what will last
Lost in the night
Hidden from your sight
A thief comes to snatch away your soul
Sadness he leaves
Uncertainty it breeds
Dreams created that leave you morose
When you awake
You’re left with heartache
Looking for the light
Needing help with this fight
Upon the Lord your hope rests
Grace and mercy He provides when you confess
Upon Him you can rely
To take that tear away from your eye
Taking the darkness out of the night
Make your way into His light
Life so full of hope
A future so bright
So many lives did he touch
Smiles to all he met
Jokes and laughter staples in his life
Surrounded by friends until the end
A young man’s life cut short
We will never know why
God has a plan for all his children
Not only here but in heaven above
He is now an angel looking down
A light for those who knew him
His memory will never fade from our hearts
A young man who resides with God above
A world full of the hearts he touched below
Today we cry
Tomorrow we mourn
Down the road our paths will meet once more
In remembrance of a young man who we knew from a boy, who’s life was tragically cut short. Rest In Peace…

Silky smooth
Soft to my touch
Velvety under my fingers
As I caress your body
Heat elevating between us
Steam is rising
An eruption of volcanic proportions
When I feel your body next to mine
Sweetness of honey
Dripping its nectar
Delicious to my taste
Your lips as they touch mine
Gazing into heaven
Connecting our two souls
Unable to look away
As I glimpse into your eyes
Our bodies made for one another
Perfected by God to be as one
No other is meant for me

I just wanted to say thank you first to all of you out there that have taken the time to read my writings. When I first started this blog, I didn’t know what to expect or whether I would be able to even write anything. My experience with writing anything was an occasional letter to someone and writing Papers in High School and College (A long time ago for both). I am what you would have called at the time, a failed husband, a self-prescribed underwhelming father and just going through the motions of life. I was really dead inside and was lost at how to get out of it. My wonderful wife, who I almost lost due to this absence I had allowed into our marriage is the one who lead me into this world. She has been blogging for around 3 years and I must say is an amazing writer. See her blog here; https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/ . I won’t go into her journey with her blog, but let’s just say my absence in our marriage was behind some of her writings. I didn’t know a thing about poetry beyond maybe Dr. Seuss books. I just knew I had so much bottled up inside of me. I was never one who was good with emotions, I just bottled them up and stuffed them deep down inside. With writing this blog I have found a freedom to express a lot of these emotions not only through my writing, but in my life. Over these last few months I have been on a journey that was to win the heart of my wife back. I know this is not a journey with an end, but something I need to do every day.
A majority of my writing has been inspired on my feelings towards my lovely wife. I hope this journey may inspire others to know that it is never too late to fight for what is right, no matter what it may be. I know a lot of you were surprised to find out that ~ M and I were husband and wife. It was a decision made mutually between us to hide that fact until we knew was the right time. I have learned a lot about myself through this blogging adventure and reading and interacting with so many of you have really made a lasting imprint on my life. I am amazed by all the talent I see through so many of you and am inspired by it. Again I want to just reintroduce myself and say hello and thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
Yup that is a real picture of me.
Today I had a good day.
The Sun shown through the cracks in the shutters
A glint light upon my eyes
Awake to the world around,
I feel your presence near to me
Your breath comes so evenly
I move myself closer to you
To feel you awakens my soul
I nestle my body next to yours
You stir for second
Closer we become entwined as one
I see your face and soak it all in
The radiance it shines out does the Sun
I hold you near not wanting to wake
Enjoying the sound of your gentle breath
To wake in your arms is all I desire
To hold my love so close is such joy
My heart full of passion
My soul full of you
Today was a good day before it really happened.
This is my first attempt at poetry and I write it out to the love of my life, who has inspired me to become so much more. Love you Babe…
This is the first poem i really ever wrote. Hope you enjoy my first poem from my blog.
Tears falling to the ground
Tears you have shed all around
Tears you cry in the lonely times
Tears in the sad times too
Over the years so many tears
Times of trouble
Times of strife
Cried for times that you have felt alone
A heart filled with so many tears
Wishing I could hold each of your tears in my hands
Take them into the sunlight
Let the sun shine through them
Exposing the rainbow inside each of your tears.
