This beautiful stranger

Words simply can't explain, 
The complexity in which I feel. 
No words to describe, 
What I saw in that smile.

There is emotion In her eyes, 
Emotion I've yet to perceive. 
There is something on her mind,
That I feel hovering in mine.

I find myself thinking, 
What it would feel like hand in hand.
The warmth that I might find, 
With her arms entangled with mine.

I don't know what it was, 
I saw when I first laid eyes. 
Something that stuck her in my thoughts, 
Her beauty so devine.

I wonder who she is, 
I ponder what she's like. 
I'm curious what she'd think of me,
The gentle I am inside.

There is a sweetness to her visage,
A tenderness in her homage.
But it's what's staring back from those eyes,
I can't keep off my mind. 

live for you

Life's too short to live up to everyone's standard,

 break the mold, take chances,

 don't live to make others happy, 

but yourself

. You are who matters. 

Never stop being yourself. 

You'd be surprised how much happier you can be,

 when you let go of all the bullshit and start living in,

 and enjoying every moment of every day,

 sometimes life sucks,

 but make the best of it.

 Just be happy, 

for you, 

noone else.

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.

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
