you are beautiful

Just because the stars aren't shining, 

doesn't make a night any less beautiful than it should be.

 The same goes for a person.

 Just because your hairs a mess,

 or your in sweats and a t.

 You're still as beautiful as ever.

 Because beauty isn't what is seen,

 but what is felt.

 The hottest person on the planet,

 can still make you feel sick inside. 

What makes you beautiful may not be what others think,

 but what the right person feels.

 To the right person,

 your the best there is,

 without changing a thing or trying.

 So be yourself. And shine brightly.

 Not from what's outside, but from what's inside

the world slipping sideways

the details they escape me,

but I know that I was scared,

the first thing I remember, 

the world slipping sideways.

trying to re balance,

panic settles in,

I hunch down as low as I can go,

the world slipping sideways.

My eyes they close,

my hands they clamp down tight, 

my body tense as steel, 

the world slipping sideways.

my helmet strikes the road, 

as Im dragged across the asphalt,

scraping skin and bone,

the world slipping sideways, 

sounds of steel scraping,

sturdy plastic breaking,

bending the road sign as I smack

the world slipping sideways.

the sounds of catastrophe halt, 

catapulted from my perch,

tumbling like a rock,

the world slipping sideways.

the worlds spinning ceasing, 

the blood spread abound,

consciousness slowly retracing,

the world slipping sideways.

the pain setting in,

cutting deep as knives,
my motorcycle totaled

but thankful Im alive ,
the world slipping sideways.

This poem is dedicated to Mara K. Mahig

Your love and compassion for everyone around you, will live on through my words, 

and through my compassion for the world. 

After Your Love

I know you're in heaven

I know you're waiting

Now that I've lost you

I am in the dark

Always I'll love you

With all of my heart

I know that you loved me 

I know that you cared

Now from above you can see me

You'll always be there

Forever you're in my heart

I'll explain to you why

Because of who you are

In my heart and my mind

You will never die

Everyone cares

I'll tell you why

You're no longer here

So now we will cry

I will never fear

Now that I speak

I know you will here

Just please keep me close

To your spirit or ghost

Everyday I will love you

Everyday forevermore

Throughout my life ive always searched

for one true thing i cannot find

though sometimes i feel i have it all

there one thing missing, but on always on my mind.

a life of joy we seek alive

a million accomplishments mean little more 

than what they are when they cant be shared

a life alone i wish for nevermore. 

untitled

The wind , its gentle whistling by my ears

pulling me toward something near

the sun long rested behind mountains gaze

not knowing,  but hoping, feeling

turning my head from side to side

not quite sure yet what to find

lost in this enticing haze

fighting to find the light

i spy a light i know wont come,

i try to run but fall to some

another corner in this maze

will it ever cease to end

running the souls clean off of me

taking me where ive never been

a journey long been set to blaze 

to find the truest part of me

Friendship

Mostly Friends will come one day

shortly they will walk away

only a few will ever stay

the ones to never walk away

Countless years seem so long

best Friend bond so strong

right there where they belong

friends forever and ever long

Together a million memories made

with bonds so strong they'll never fade

not even separation by a blade

because friends are always at each others aid

Friends will come

friends will go

more than just a little some

there true side to you they'll always show

Senseless

You can see it in my eyes

when they're staring back at you

chameleon iris' colors burst

hiding something left out of sight

You can hear in this voice of mine

spoken softly through thinning air

waterfall of words descend

nothing seeming very clear

You can feel it in my warm embrace

extending comfort from within

a tender wrap like blankets laced

a love supreme to fire's seeds

I only hope you may perceive

my feelings mostly clandestine

locked away from the clouds

untill you help me sail away
