The Big Dance
Well it is that time of year again, the only time I even pay attention to College Basketball. I actually enjoy watching these games. My favorite team I know doesn’t really stand a chance of making it past the first round, so I’m not really invested into following one team. I enjoy the first weekend the most because that is when the little guys often take down the big guys. Every year I put together a bracket for the tournament and usually by the end of the first day it is a total disaster. So I’m at it again this year. Who am I picking it to win it all this year? I must first say sorry to the people who follow this team. I would love to pick my Wisconsin Badgers, but I’m guessing that they will be one and done. So who am I picking, the Kentucky Wildcats. Which probably means they will get upset sometime over this first weekend.
Well if you follow sports or not, this weekend always has a good story about some school that comes out of nowhere. Some of the stories I find interesting; Northwestern – first NCAA Tournament in school history, they have been around for a long time and this will be their first time in the big dance. Northern Kentucky – First year as a Division 1 school and they make it into the big dance. So many different schools, Winthrop University, South Dakota State, North Dakota, University North Carolina Wilmington, St Mary’s, Florida Gulf Coast and so many other schools that no one really hears about except at this time of the year. So who is going to wear Cinderella’s shoe this year? So for you who have made out your brackets good luck? Let me know who you are picking this year.
Go Badgers, Go Wildcats.
Gravity
Pulled into your orbit
Your beauty gathers me in
A sparkle in your eyes
The glow of your smile
Our lips pull near
A passion passes between us
Gravity pulls our bodies pulled together
As heat rises from the friction as we embrace
Intensity of desire reaches to our souls
When we pull apart
It rips at the fiber of my heart
Where I want to stay
Is with you always

Monday
The beginning of a new week
My head aches my body is weak
A weekend of rest and relaxation
Lying in bed until noon
Time with my wife we swoon
Staying up past midnight
Now Monday comes and I have to rise at first light
Crawling out of bed
Sleep still clouds my head
Into the shower I go
Shaving off my beard that has just begun to grow
Putting on my uniform and pulling on my boots
Heading out for another week of work
Somedays the weather is nice, somedays not so much
Monday comes and the only thing I can think of is
When will Friday arrive……

Shadows of My Past
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

Tick Tock
Tick tock tick tock
My thoughts are at a block
Ideas refuse to flow
Why, I just don’t know
Looking for words to present
My brain is completely spent
Tick tock tick tock
Times passes by
Into the ethereal my attention flies
Wasted away
My focus sways
Tick tock tick tock

In Your Eyes
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

Winter Wonderland
When I was a kid winter was a magical time of the year
Sledding, building forts, snow angels and so much more
A time to look forward to Christmas time and vacation
Looking forward to watching the snow fall
Heading outside to play till I was frozen to the bone
As I grew, the magic was replaced by just having fun
Snowball fights, skeetching behind the bus, and so much more
Getting our driver’s license and learning what fun it could be
Doing donuts in the snow, slide turns with the emergency brake
Going on ski trips, sledding until all hours in the dark
Adulthood hit and things began to change
The winter time was more of a pain
Driving to work, digging out the drive way and so much more
Yes there was times of fun
Playing with the kids, building snowmen and a few other things
What do I look forward to in winter now a days
I look forward to the first day of spring and the warmth it brings.
What I Have in You
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
