A Few More Words

              Peace

Share With Me A Love For Life
A Heavenly Spirit Speaks To My Soul
I Listen Deeply To A Kind Voice
Sharing With Me The Gift Of Hope

Surrounded By Butterflies And Flowers
Painted Within My Dreams
I Sense A Magical Power
Residing Deep Inside Me

I've Wandered Away From The Path Of Pain
Peace Now Guides My Way
I've Washed Away The Pain
In My Mind I Find No Disdain

You Can't Reason With Love
Like A Flower It Grows
Is This A Gift From Above
I Feel A Peace I've Never Known

Mother Nature Gave Me A Map
And A Key To The Dawn
Helping Me To Heal
From My Life Gone Wrong

Refreshing My Heart
Peace Had Arrived
Nurturing Me Back To Health
Keeping My Spirit Alive

I've Now Strayed Far From The Path Of Pain
I've Finally Found Peace
In My Mind I Find No Disdain
And Upon My Life A New Lease

What If Peace Prevailed Instead Of Pain
What If Hatred Had Never Been
Peacekeepers Would No Longer Be Slain
Perhaps If We Learned To Be Loving Human Beings

Let Us Not Hate Somebody For Being Different
Let's Live In Peace And Love One Another
Seek Light In A Personality
For We Should Act As Sisters And Brothers

I Now Live In The Sunlight
I No Longer Feel The Pain
Peace Is My Aspiration
Flowing Like A River Through My Veins

As I Rise In The Morning , I Fall To My Knees
I'm Feeling Strong And Rested
Refreshing My Spirit With Prayer
To My Creator I Am Vested

Yes , Peace Has Found Me
May Peace Find You Too
Peace In This World
Would Be A Dream Come True........

Sorry I Haven't Written Anything Lately,
I Had A Little Set Back , I Had A Tear In My Aorta.
Therefore I Needed An Aortic Dissection
I Finished The Above Song Hours Before This Happened
All I Can Say Is Thank God To My Family
(The Few Who Showed Up) And My Many Friends
And My Wife Nancy And My True Friend Rollie
For All Their Support And Pulling Me Through.
Also For All Those Who Prayed For Me.
Thank You And God Bless You All.......

Poetdude

The Next Poem Poem Was Written In The Hospital.
I Finished It At Home. I Was So Glad To Breathe Fresh Air.
I Also Appreciate The Things I Took For Granted In The Past.
I Feel Lucky To Be Alive. I've Been Called A Miracle,
Perhaps God Has Plans For Me , Soon We'll See...............

Read On Write On........


                 Only God Knows

No More Darkened Dreams Of My Death
Did I Die And Come Back To Life
Am I Breathing My Last Breath
Or Am I Brought Back To Life

My Soul Met My Body Within My Sleep
I'm Here In The Middle Of Nowhere
In The Darkest Corners Of My Soul
Only Here , Only I Would Dare To Go

My Life Frozen In Time , If Only For A Moment
Only To Be Promised More Pain
Just Rip Out My Heart
And Re-Connect My Veins

It Didn't Hurt To Die
My Spirit Dancing In The Darkest Light
Am I Staring Into The Future
Or Is This Another Life

It Was A Bittersweet Pain Coming Back To Life
Only To Face More Pain
Is It Our Choice To Stay , Is It Our Choice To Die
Or Is The Choice Made For Us
Cross The Bridge
See If We Make It To The Other Side

Somewhere Deep Down In My Soul
I May Have Let Myself Go
Who Really Makes The Choice
A Doctor , Our Maker ,
Or An Unheard Voice

Breathe Deep The Breath Of Life
Wander Around Your Mind
Perhaps It's The Answer To The Question
You Once Hoped To Find

No More Storms Within My Mind
Not A Cloud In The Sky
It's Only Peace I Find
Only Tears Of Joy Fall From These Eyes

Perhaps It Was Mercy
Given To Me By My Creator
Choosing To Let Me Pass Another Day
Perhaps It Was One Of The Many Prayers We Prayed

Our Prayers Flow To The Heavens
God Knows Our Hearts And Minds
The Lord Will Be With Us Until The End Of Time
Only God Knows Why I'm Still Alive.............

                           Sept.23 2019

     Give God All The The Glory

Lord , Let Me Learn To Live A Life
Let Me Learn To Accept The Miracle You've Provided
No Longer Shall I Cry
Smiles I'll Give , No Surprise

Sailing Upon The Ocean Of Death
Perhaps Facing My End
Taking My Last Breath
Wondering Where My Soul Would Be Sent

Would Mercy Be Given To Me
Or Would I Share The Angels Wings
Would Gods Light I See
Or For Freedom Would I Sing

Child Of God , Son Of Man
Facing Life , Facing Death
Still , This World I No Longer Understand
Shall I Live , Or Shall I Take My Last Breath

The Heavenly Father Had Other Plans
Giving Me Back The Gift Of Life
Perhaps I'm Beginning To Understand
The Purpose Of My Life

This Was An Act Of God
This Is No Wondrous Story
Me , I'm Only A Man
So I Give God All The Glory !

                 Harmony

You Spoke To Me Within A Song
I Fell In Love With Your Kind
So Far Away , I Long To Touch You
Where The Sea Meets The Sky

I Long To Be Your Everything
I Want Us To Be
With You A Duet I Will Sing
Please Never Set Me Free

I Fell In Love With You Before We Met
You Recited A Poem To Me Within A Dream
Your Words I'll Never Forget
As Our Song Echoes On The Breeze

Together We Shall Sing
Our Harmony Will Be Heard
Fingers Touching Strings
As The World Hears My Words

Please Let Me Introduce Myself
I'm The Poet Dude , I'm Just Biding My Time
I Love Sharing My Stories
I Welcome You To The Land Of Rhyme

Connected Within Our Imagination
Sharing One Another's Thoughts
You're My Infatuation
For In Your Web I'm Caught

Travel With Me To The Back Of My Mind
I'm A Library Of Lyric
Let Me Share A Rhyme
That The World  May Hear It !

I Speak To You In Song
For Here My Heart Lies
My Words May Even Touch You
Tears In Your Eyes

I Can Not Restrain My Pen
Silence Will Not Threaten Me
May An Angels Choir Sing My Songs
Throughout Eternity

Harmony , Sweet Harmony
                Notes And Words Combined
Harmony , Sweet Harmony
                Let It Be     Until The End Of Time.........

                  Miracles

I No Longer Dream Of The Future
For It Comes To Soon
The Past Is Gone
I'm No Longer On The Road To Ruin

Tomorrow Arrives Every Morning
Isn't Having Today Enough
I Used To Live The High Life
It Almost Caused Me To Self Destruct

I'm Happy To Be Alive Today
Freed From My Bondage
I Have A Smile To Share With The World
I Pray For My Peace To Remain
As My New Life Unfurls

      Miracles Are Blessings
    Seek And You Shall Find
         Miracles Are Many
           For God Is Kind

I'm A Miracle, And So Are You
No Longer Living A Lie
We Now Speak The Truth
A Miracle For You And I

I Try To Take A Blessing With Me
Wherever I May Go
I'd Like To Pass A Blessing Onto You
As I Pray For The World
It Helps Me To Grow

I Long To Share My Blessings With You
Either Friend Or Foe
No Hatred Within My Heart
For Peace Is All I Long To Know

I'm A Miracle, And You Are Too
We No Longer Live A Lie
We Now Seek The Truth
Miracles For You And I
I'm So Grateful
To Still Be Alive....


TIME FOR MORE TIME

              Time

Precious And Priceless
A Never Ending Spell
      Turning Tides
  And Ringing Bells

Perhaps There's A Treasure
Within The Sands Of Time
And With Every Setting Sun
The Clock Seems To Rewind

Seconds Turn To Minutes
Minutes Turn To Hours
Time Belongs To No One
Yet This Time Is Ours

There's Never Enough Time
Yet It Never Ends
Time Is Priceless
I've Only A Minute To Spend

Time Is An Hour Glass
Time Is A Measure
We Watch Time Pass
As We Pursue Our Pleasures

I've Done My Time
Look What Times Done To Me
I'm Older And Wiser
Wouldn't You Agree

Time Is Slipping Away
No Need To Pretend
Old And Gray
My Time Is Nearing It's End

Time Is Precious ,
So Spend It Wisely
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will Be Done

You Never Know
When Your Time Will Come.....       Sept. 16 1990

                    Times Edge

Here We Stand Together At Times Edge
       A Place Beyond Our Realm
      A Ship Upon A Glass Ocean
        No Captain At The Helm

       Can The Sands Of Time Be Crossed
Who Says We Can't Find The Rainbows End
     What If The Hands Of Time Were Lost
    And Upon The Sun We Had To Depend

Does Father Time Hold The Key
         To Defeat The Clock
          To Turn Back Time
            Or Make It Stop

              Throughout The Years
Many Have Longed To Rewind The Days
Yet The Hands Of Time Only Move Forward
           No Matter What You Say
     You Simply Can Not Cheat Time

                   Or Could We.........
Here We Stand Together At Times Edge........

May 7 2018.....

             Times Gift

Exchange Memories With Me
Let Us Travel Back In Time
To The Nineteenth Century
Let Us Go , Let Us Try !

Reflections Of The Past
The Binding Ties Of Time
Let Us Turn The Clocks Back
To Days Long Gone Bye

Come With Me To A Simpler Place In Time
Step Lightly Upon The Path
Step Through The Sands Of Time
Now I Watch The Days Rewind

I Slip Back To A Distant Time
To A Simpler Life Than I've Ever Known
As The Rain Subsides
My Dream Is Realized
I Witness Gods Promise
As I Admire The Rainbow

Now The Rain Passes Away
And The Sun Shines Through
A New World , A New Day
I'm Still Me , But Who Are You ?.....

It's As If I'd Never Seen A Woman Before
Beautiful Face , Breathtaking Smile
A Lady I Would Grow To Adore
Truthfully A Woman Of Style

My Tongue Is Tied
So She Breaks The Ice
She Asks Me If I'd Like Some Tea
I Said , "Yes .That Would Be Nice"

I Introduce Myself
She Does The Same
I Tell Her My Name Is Steven
She Whispers To Me,,,Nancy's My Name

I Spoke Of My Feelings For Her
She Spoke The Language Of Love
Her Words Blessed My Ears
She's Times Gift From Above

I Bid Her Farewell For The Evening
I Gave Her A Kiss On Her Hand
My Hand Is For Her Taking
I Hope She Understands

Although I'm A Traveler From Afar
Our Connection Can't Be Denied
Now I'm Here Where And When You Are
For Your Love I've Traveled Through Time

It's A Beautiful Morning Nancy
And I've Come To Call
Would You Grace Me With Your Presence
At The Turn Of The Century Ball

Blessed Am I , For She Said Yes
She Asks Me If I Would Assist Her
And Help Her Lace Up Her Corset
My Lovely Lady Friend Nancy
Has A Passion For Fashion
Now I Adore Her Beautiful Victorian Dress

As I Hold Her Hand
The Honor Is Truly Mine
I'm So Glad She Joined Me
Upon This Travel In Time

We Walk Down A Cobblestone Street
Stepping Back A Century In Time
Endless People We Meet
As Horse Drawn Carriages Pass Us Bye

The Night Sky Remains The Same
With The Exception Of More Stars
This Is Where We Belong
For This Time Is Ours

I Hear Violins And Voices Coming From The Park
The Graceful Music Speaks To Me
We Dance By The Light Of The Moon
In A Land Without Electricity

Holding Her While We Dance
Our Feelings Come Alive
I Never Want To Leave Her
I Never Want To Say Good-Bye

I Took Her Hand In Mine
For Miles We Walked
We Spoke Of Our Future
For Hours We Talked

I'm Living In The Now
I'm Living In The Past
Now That I'm With Her
I'm Living At Last

I Once Dreampt Of Days Long Past
I Remember Seeing Your Face In The Clouds
I Knew Our Love Would Last
For I'm Here With You Now

You Called Me Back In Time
For We Fell In Love Long Ago
Nothing Could Keep Us Apart
For I Love You So

We Have Nothing But Time
For We Share The Same Memories
You Were Once My Dream
Now We're A Reality

The World Still Turns
As Time Marches On
And Love Shall Conquer All
Infinity Will Help Us Learn
Why We Were Put Upon The Earth
By The Lord Of The Universe

Until Then I'll Keep Cherishing
The Time I've Been Given
With The Beautiful Woman
With Whom I Share The Gift Of Living........
......Nov. 3 2019.......


         Through Out Time

Today Was Tomorrow Yesterday
      Let Us Play With Time
   The Ticking Of The Clock
    Can We Perhaps Rewind

       Nature Says No
So Each Morning I Rise
What Does Tomorrow Know
Of Traveling Back In Time

Is Time Really Infinite
If So That Means It's Eternal
Could We Somehow Find It's Infancy
And Turn Earths Rotation
Rewind In Reverse , You See

Yesterday Is Just A Memory
Trapped Within Your Mind
Meaning Yesterday Still Exists
Somewhere In Time

A Mirror , An Hour Glass
Holding The Sands Of Time
Memories Of The Past
In The Corners Of Your Mind

Time's Caught Up With Me
For What I Seek Has Passed
So Follow Me Upon My Journey
On This Antiquated Path

Sunrise , Sunsets
Forgetting To Remember
Reasoning With Regret
January To December

I Long To Be A Child Again
And Turn Back The Hands Of Time
Perhaps I'll Never Find What I've Lost
,,,,,,,,My Mind.......

The Minutes , Hours , Days And Years
Of Writing All These Rhymes
Of Death I Have No Fear
As I Write My Final Lines

So I'll Take My Last Breath
For It's The End Of My Time
Yet I Won't Die With Death
For You May Remember Me
As You Read My Rhymes
Through Out Time..........
