Ok.....so still with me huh??? Now here are a few of my thoughts that I have committed to paper and transfered to here. Not gonna promise that anything here will win a prize....but, they are from my heart, so maybe they will let you get to know me just a little bit better. Enjoy friends.....



THE LAST PIRATE

High sea thoughts and pirate dreams,
clouded his aged mind.
So too the scent of briny air,
and treasures left behind.

The pristine skies of days of yore,
are pondered with such delight.
While sailing with the ebbing tide,
and searching for a fight.

A galleon strong was his first love,
a love he could not quench.
No island girl was their for him,
or other lusty wench.

With Blackbeard's ghost he had sailed,
LaFitte was with him too.
The old Corsairs never really died,
their wisdom saw him through.

But time and tide for no man wait,
and neither for this knave.
And soon there came that fateful day,
when he rode out his last wave.

The pirate's life was all he knew,
the ocean his front door.
So quietly he slipped away,
and sailed the seas no more.

Too old now to pace the decks,
this pirate out of date.
Spends all his time alone it seems,
awaiting his timely fate.

His days are gone with Clipper ships,
and others of his kind.
A pirate of the olden days,
the last the world will find.



WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN AN ANGEL CRIES?

I heard the hurt in her soft voice,
the falling tears were not her choice.

So full of hope and love to give,
with so much life still yet to live.

The anger burns inside her breast,
this angel made to face life's test.

Caught in a world not made by her,
spiraling downward in a blur.

Through it all she stands up tall,
not the type to take a fall.

But what can you do when an angel cries?
And darkness fills her sunny skies.

I felt so far away this night,
as I pondered what to write.

My only hope is that she knows,
my heart is with her as she goes.

My soul did ache for her this day,
I love her more than words can say.

I want her life to swell with love,
this angel sent down from up above.

I pray that in some tiny way,
I can make her smile today.

And soar again on gossamer wings,
above life's hurt and painful things.




LOVERS IN THE NIGHT

The nights of Fall are very near,
and time for moonlit walks.
When lovers stroll out hand-in-hand,
and share their special talks.

Through the dusk of forest glen,
or on a pristine beach,
they long to finally be alone,
and for each other reach.

Sweet lips meet in an embrace,
arms holding the other tight,
Lost in love inside the world,
these lovers in the night.

Eyes shut tight, so deep in love,
with sweet moans filling the air.
And hands explore the others form
as bodies start to bare.

To his bed he carries her,
and lays her gently down.
His eyes drink in the wonder of
this treasure he has found.

Her arms reach up and beckon him,
urging him to her side.
Slowly he does lower himself,
and close to her will slide.

The love they make this very night,
is something pure and sweet.
Their bodies one, their hearts aflame,
their minds lost in the heat.

Too soon comes the morning sun,
and with it another day.
They hate the thought of parting now
but soon must go away.

Back to the world of everyday,
and works that must take flight.
They have their thoughts to keep with them
These lovers in the night.




THE FIRST DAY

Today is my first day without you....
The world has changed.
The sunrise is not as lovely.
Why does it feel so cold?

Today is my first day without you....
My mailbox is empty.
No loving words to lift my heart.
How did it go so wrong?

Today is my first day without you....
I read your old letters.
Ones from when we were happy.
Where did our love go?

Today is my first day without you....
The day is a blur.
Dragging from start until end.
I wonder how you are?

Today is my first day without you....
The phone sits quiet.
Not ringing from your calls.
Oh, why won't you call?

Today is my first day without you....
I snuggle into my bed.
Wondering aloud to myself.
How will I get through day two?



TAKE THE TIME

A little life is born today
somewhere in this land.
While somewhere else another one
ends in an angel's hand.

We never know how long we have
to walk on God's green earth.
For constantly we face our death
while other's await their birth.

When you see that special one,
the one that you do love.
Hug them close and let them know,
they were sent to you from above.

Find a friend to whom your close
and take the time to share,
just how much they mean to you,
just how much you care.

So let us try from this point on
to treat each other right.
To do whats fair, to do whats good,
to embrace each other tight.

And put away our hateful words
we sometimes say so fast.
To make our world a better place,
and make our friendships last.
