Poems drop down from the sky of creation into hearts and minds
Of poets around the globe,illustrating on the canvas of the soul
The joy pain victory of living in the days of humankind
Poems are to be eaten like fruit by the spirit inside
Bitten into by the eager mind, the senses like mental fingers
Of probing lick the juice of essence that run down inside
Ready and ripe for the wondrous taking
One reading a poem needs no spoon fork or knife
Not even a plate  tablecloth or napkin
For the poem itself is the main meal and is all things to each  hungry
Reader, stem rind pit skin
To feed the inside

Wake up each day by assuring yourself to keep it moving
With thankfulness and joy past all doubts and fears that would attack
Belief and  GOD given faith in yourself, know that you are greater
Than any problem or enemy that could ever undo dreams
Or unloose your forward stride of yes I can
Always bear in mind that you are the answer to any foe or fear
That could ever come across your path so keep It moving
And always know inside that victory and success are waiting on you
So keep it moving you are the answer to your problem
Keep It moving

I want to love you like nobody's loved you , now or ever before
The Sun comes up and than goes to sleep
It's you I want to always adore
Doesn't matter if sometimes if our difficult days are not funny
But what we have in store in joy ahead is worth more than money
I want to love you for now and for all times

Do Ants take lunch breaks? Do triangles have cousins?
Does a suitcase ever wear a suit? A compass ever get lost?
Do gorillas lift weights to build muscles? Do elephants ever forget?
Do fires ever go on strike? Do chairs ever lie down?
Why can"t a banana peel its self? Does fear really fear anybody ?
Why can't mice sing ? Was Walt dizzy when he made Disneyland?
Is a penny really money? Is carefree really free?
Is a stoop a set of bent steps? Is a trip really a getaway?
Is a raisin a grape that failed?
Are wrinkles wisdom lines or just annoying straight marks?
Can you be happy by buying a happy meal at McDonald's?
Do bald headed men have dandruff?

The poem with an arrogant voice speaks and demands that the poet
Write of love pain life joy trees clouds over cities
And things both near and far away, golden discovered mysteries of love
And events yet to be born into time, a poem is a written gift by the poet
For you and me , a poet who walks the dog on cold or rain falling
Afternoons, who puts the mail on the hallway table,whose dreams stretch
High as the soft white clouds, whose memories reach as deep as tree roots
Whose feelings ring bells of tenderness in human heart
Whose tears and joys in waves come and go like the ocean tide
Who finds a mystery in each coming day and wonders what it will
Teach,the poem speaks in a loud matter of fact voice
That tell of trees cities sea Earth and sky
For man knows that life is an unexplained mystery that must be lived
Day by day,poem tells the poet that I have no voice
Until you the poet give me one

Your love keeps me warm in a cold world
Even in times when things go wrong as they often do
I smile to myself think of no one else but you
It doesn't matter to me what I don't have or lack
As long as I'm assured that you love me faithfully
And at all times have my back. Every night your love
Pulls my body to sleep and the promises you made
I know that you'll keep

I'm more than willing to let go, if  translate  all the things
That I'm feeling inside, opening up the door of my heart to you
For all the years to come for a sweet ride, I know that you'll gently
Bring out all the emotions that I've been hiding
No longer afraid to be a man alone, because unto you all of me
Is finally sliding
