THE SEARCH

Look there through the trees.
At the light that slips between.
Breaking through the canopy.
Previously unseen.
Reminding you of the light.
That fights against the dark.
The warming of the cold.
Adding color to the stark.
For a moment time stops.
Absorbing all that light.
You could live in it forever.
But often you lose sight.
What you’d do to always feel it.
What an amazing thought.
Having everything been worth it.
Every hard battle you have fought.
That is the feeling of salvation.
Someone connected to your soul.
An end to uncertainty.
A feeling of being in control.
Destiny manifested.
Unexpectedly it finds you.
But just as quickly is gone.
And there is nothing you can do.
Run through the forest.
Check behind every tree.
Search the deepest river.
Search everywhere you see.
Don’t give up your chase.
No matter how long it takes you.
At the end of the journey hopefully.
Is your dream come true.

To Her
A Poem
-
Another February 14th.
The absolute lowest of my days.
So many reminders that.
I am alone in so many ways.
The only time that has changed.
The only time in ten years.
Was the last year and a half.
Your light eclipsed the fears.
Back to the before.
Brings me back to today.
I can’t help but feel empty.
Can’t stop what I want to say.
You.
It is my favorite thought.
It’s better than any gift.
That anyone has ever bought.
I don’t know what happened.
I have no clue where you went.
I have to believe tho.
It’s not where your supposed to be sent.
If this feeling is wrong.
Then nothing is right .
If I am mistaken.
I have truly lost my sight.
The colors in the air.
Are less bright and very sad.
Everyday without your voice. Seems a little more bad.
Maybe I’m terrible at saying.
What I want to say to you.
Maybe it never was clear.
What I struggle to do.
So here’s an attempt.
Maybe the attempt of my life.
If it wasn’t clear baby.
I was wanting you as a wife.
Or maybe I’m confused.
It’s so hard to interpret this.
It is evident tho to me.
When your close to me it’s bliss.
A foundation is laid.
To hold a structure in place.
Trying to lay a strong one.
I was struggling not to kiss your face.
Interpreted as something else I think, as if I wasn’t about it.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
We are two puzzle pieces that fit.
I miss you right now girl.
I miss hearing what you have to say.
I miss calling you after work.
Miss your presence everyday.
The words I can write here.
Are endless and infinite.
Just like the warmth I feel.
Thinking your the angel god sent.
I hope you read this .
And know that I speak true.
Girl I need to say this.
I believe I am deeply in love with you.
Your on my mind when I wake.
Your the last vision before I sleep.
If your gone from my life.
The very air will weep.
Your the one thing in my life.
The one I thing that inspires me.
The one I always should of been next to maybe.
The one that is a dream to see.
Whatever it is, wherever you have went.
Find your way back.
I don’t want to lose the angel that God has sent.
I would never do you wrong.
I would never raise my voice.
I could never make you cry.
It is not even a choice.
Your the best thing in my life:
Your the reason for the day.
You are in my thoughts.
Your much more than I can say.
But i know what good is.
And I know what is great.
I know what signs are.
The Signs say we share a fate.
I don’t even know if you’ll read this.Don’t know if it is a waste of time.
But if that’s true,everything’s a waste so what’s the harm in a rhyme.
I’m not here to criticize you .
I’m here to only help out.
This is a choice I made freely.
This is something not in doubt.
So whatever it is .
Whatever may be wrong boo.
Why keep me on the sidelines.
Instead of helping or listening to you?
Pride is the downfall.
Of those that refuse to seek aid.
Are you fighting a losing battle?
Jumping on your own gr***de?
Your not stronger by going it alone the fight always beats you.
This is universally accurate.
It is always true.
Because two is stronger than one .
Humans are made to be a pair.
You going it alone.
Will end in despair.
Your not “getting online” girl.
Your communicating with a trusted friend.
Your not avoiding the internet.
Excuses to pretend.
It has cost you nothing.
To be important to me.
There isn’t a price you paid.
My caring has been free.
To give up that .
In a world of lies and deceit.
Is counter intuitive.
It’s a disaster of conceit.
Don’t waste your life away.
Hiding where no one can see.
The world needs more of you’s
Be who your meant to be.
Don’t lump me in with all those who let you down or hurt you.
I have earned a better spot.
You absolutely know that’s true.
Your on my mind.
Your inside my nightly dream.
Your so precious to me.
Your the best part of my team.
Whatever this is .
I need you to snap out of it.
I’m supposed to be your friend.
A responsibility I can never forget.
I hope your good.
Hope your smiling today.
Hope your finding what you seek.
Hope all this was ok to say.
Missing my valentine ...
Missing my best friend.
Missing out on everything.
My love do I you send.

“One of Two , Certainly Blue.”
A Poem -
I am not really ok.
Can anyone see?
Isn’t it obvious ?
This is no longer me?
The look on my face.
The lack of sleep and peace .
The struggle to get through each day.
The mental trauma continues to increase.
I remember being alive. Remember what it felt like to have a friend or trusted ear.
Those memories are fading fast.
The feeling less clear.
The days pile on , with only myself to keep company.
Silently I pray to God.
But to me he has nothing to say .
A solitary prison .
Built just for me .
A place I dwell in.
Not a person in sight do I see.
Is this the end of it all?
Is this my fate?
Waiting on life to start.
Unable to continue to wait.
Arrived for certain.
At the crossroads of my life.
I can’t find meaning.
If I can’t find my wife .
The purpose of it all.
Is to be part of a duo.
We aren’t made for solitary.
A partner is needed for this show.
So I will wish and wish away.
Whisper my prayers to the moon.
Hoping that God here’s me .
Hoping he hears me soon.
