Learn A Little History Too. My Rhyme Written For You.....

Stever   ,     The Poet Dude.....

                    I'm Alive

          A Good Morning It Is !

  I Feel A Calm Has Come Over Me

Even In The Mist Of All My Turmoil

      A Faint Ray Of Light I See.

   I'm Still Not Healed Enough To Do

    The Chores I Used To In The Past

It's Hard To Make It , The Day Through

Wondering How Much Longer I'll Last

   When My Time Is Gone

    And You've Let Me Go

So It Will Be My Last Poem

    The End Of My Show

          But That Day Has Not Yet Arrived.....

For Writing Has Been My Constant Companion

       Perhaps It's The Reason I Survived

   As We All Know Writing Is My Passion

Am I Still Alive ? , You Said I Died

Is This A Nightmare Or A Dream ?

Why Do My Woman And Son Cry ?

I Just Want To Scream - I'm Alive !

By No Means Did I Live A Normal Life

It's As If Every Experience In My Life

Was Some Kind Of Crazy Story 

So I Wrote It All Down - My History

My Downfall , For All To See - My Insanity

So Then I Died And Came Back To Life

Could This Have Been Real ?

I Remember The Next Morning

When I Saw The Light

I Didn't Know How To Feel

I Was Away For Four Days

Lost Somewhere In Outer Space

I Thought I Lost My Way

When I Awoke , I Wondered

What Am I Doing In This Place ?

Water , Thirst , Thirsty For Water , Water Please

Ice , Ice , More Ice , That Nurse Was So Very Nice

Help Me Please ! , I Can Barely Breathe

An Oxygen Mask , Now Breathe In And Out

I Took Their Advice , So Now I've Lived Twice

Just Another Page Written About My Crazy Life

Too Many Wires And I-V's Connected To Me

Where's My Easy Chair ? , Where's My Wife ?

Please Tell Me What Happened To Me

Am I Still Alive ? Who Said I Died ?

Is This A Nightmare Or A Dream ?

Why Do My Wife And Son Cry ?

I Just Want To Scream - I'm Alive !

I Now Must Find A New Way Of Living

For The Day Has Finally Arrived

As Writing Has Always Been My Constant Companion

Perhaps It's The Reason I Survived

As You Now Know Writing Has Always 

Been My Passion.....

And Once Again I'm Alive.....

        August 6 2020

The Next Poem Was Written Sometime In 2010.

I Had Succeeded In My Failure. I Was Homeless ,

I Had Lost My Job , Lost My Family And Also My

Sanity. And If That's Not Enough , I Was On My 

Third D.U.I. , All For Alcohol !  At Least I Still

Had A Pen And A Notebook. So I Write On.....

                            Lost Soul

       I Live Within The Sewage Of Society

        I Guess You Could Call Me A Bum

Searching For The Lost Pieces Of My Life's Puzzle

      My Precious Bottle Keeps Me Numb

         I Haven't Showered In A Week

            My Bathroom Is A Bucket

       For It's Nothing More That I Seek

             All Is Lost , I Say Fuck It

       Many Lessons I've Been Taught

                  Yet I Never Learn

   Darkness Shrouds My Every Thought

              It's For Death I Yearn

        I No Longer Long For Love

  For Me The Line Has Been Crossed

    I've Hurt Everyone I've Touched

      Love And Sanity Long Lost

    I Now Dwell Within Sorrow

    I'm Slipping Over The Edge

    I've No Need For Tomorrow

     Longing For Eternal Rest

I Once Thought I Was Someone Special

        Perhaps A Gift To Mankind

   I Placed Myself Above All Others

       Now It's Loneliness I Find

      Ill Fated Lust , A Fallen Angel Am I

         I Fall Into My Self Inflicted Hell

It's Nothing I Seek , And Nothing More To Tell

    Now All I Have Left Is My Soul To Sell

            I No Longer Long For Love

             For I Have Lost The Right

         Yes , I've Sold My Wicked Soul

              To A Thief In The Night

            On Life , No New Lease

            I No Longer Have Goals

            I've Never Known Peace

            Just Another Lost Soul.....

                The Promised Land 

I Feel As If I'm Knocking On Heavens Door

      I Don't Mean To Interrupt My Deity

   For This World , I Understand No More

  I Somehow Heard My Lord Calling To Me

      No One Is Promised Tomorrow

          So I Shall Wisely Proceed

 I No Longer Hold On To My Sorrow

        For God Fulfills My Needs

        My Gently Beating Heart

 Reminds My Spirit To Remain Still

      For The End Is But A Start

 If You Have Followed Gods Will

    I Chase The Wind Until It Stops

      I No Longer Feel The Breeze

I See Angels Upon The Mountain Top

And I Wonder If They're Here For Me

            She Says Her Name Is Grace

            As She Offers Me Her Hand

  My Spirit Knows I'm In The Right Place

As She Walks Me Into The Promised Land.....

                     August 9 2020

I Met A Woman When I Was A Young Man.

       She Was Ten Years Older Than I

She Was Hot , But She Had A Plan , But She 

Was A Little Too Possessive , I Did Love Her.

However She Was Planning Our Wedding When 

We Were Together For Only A Few Months.

Perhaps I Was Too Young To Fall In Love.....

        She Said I Do - I Didn't

       I Need You , You Need Me

      How About For All Eternity

          You Said I Do - I Didn't

        I'm Sorry If I Made You Cry

We Just Weren't Meant For Each Other

So The Answer Is Never For Forever

                           To Much Love

    She Can't Hold Back Her Tears Any Longer

She Dreams Of You , Her Feelings Grow Stronger

     You Loved Her Once , So Why Not Again ?

You Know She Loves You As More Than A Friend

                           To Much Love

                            She Gave Me

                           Too Much Love

                    Why Is She So In Love ?

                  She Still Wants You Back 

       Although You've Tortured Her Emotions

                     She'll Keep On Trying

                  Her Tears Are Her Potion

                  She Wants You So Bad

                     A Woman In Love

                   It Makes Her So Sad
                 She's Lost And In Love

                       To Much Love

                        She Gave Me

                      Too Much Love

             Why Was She So In Love

         Possessed As I've Never Known

   Obsession , The Love I've Been Shown

              And So Flies The Dove

              And So Goes Her Love

           So Now My Feelings Fade

        Like The Love We Once Made

    As I Walk Away , The Fading Echo

            Of Her Final Serenade.....

                           1986

          A Lover's Fire

        Here I Go Again

        Telling My Tales

     Painting With My Pen

         Songs For Sale

   My Fantastic Imagination

    Storms Within My Mind

       A Sweet Temptation

           I Hope To Find

      Upward To The Heavens

      Chasing A Shooting Star

   I Shall Defend The Universe

For I Long To Be Where You Are

       I Wish You Were Here 

         Where Did You Go

           The End Is Near

    Did You Steal The Show

       No More Darkness 

      Let There Be Light

   Let Us Share Kindness

    And Positive Insight

    I Used To Be Needy

  Not A Dime To Spare

Yet I've Never Been Greedy

 So With You I Will Share

  You Seem So Far Away

I Long To Be Close To You

  Tell Me , Will You Stay

Or Will You Make Me Blue

  Share With Me Your Time

 Share Your Deepest Desires

And With You I'll Share Mine

            And Together

  We'll Start A Lovers Fire

        Now Listen To Your Heart

And With Every Beat Move Closer To Me

       A Lovers Fire We Did Start

  As I Now Grow Closer To Thee.....

In This Poem There Will Be No Angels Singing.

This Was Written To My Best Friend Who Had 

Decided He Had Enough Of This Fucked Up

World We Live In , And At 16 Years Of Age

He Decided To Hang Himself , And He Had 

Succeeded In His Suicide. I Still Think About

Him All These Years Later. So Anyway Here's

                  Questions Of Death

                Angels From Heaven

               Henchmen From Hell

              Keys To The Kingdom

         Or Have You A Soul To Sell

            Suicide Makes Me Sick

        "The Devil Made Me Do It"

           Every Tale Has Its Trick

       Let God Help You Through It

        Let Go Of The Devil's Hand

           Have Faith In The Lord

        Don't Trust In Satan's Plan

It May Cost More Than You Can Afford

             Make Up Your Mind

       Don't Turn The Wrong Page

      Two Eyes , Yet You're Blind

       Now Death Sets The Stage

             A Course Of Force

           Led By The Evil One

 The Child Dies By His Own Hand

          No More Setting Sun

        A Hand Full Of Hatred

           A Fist Full Of Fire

         Self Inflicted Anger

     Death - The Soul's Desire

       His Death , He Creates

    His Own Choice , His Fate

        I'm Afraid My Friend

It's The Last Breath You'll Ever Take

             A Bad Decision

         Such A Big Mistake

         For My Best Friend

          It's Now Too Late

As I Place Flowers At Your Grave

        I Pray For Your Soul

  How Did You Lose Your Faith

And Why Did You Lose Control

   Perhaps I'll Never Understand

How Or Why You Chose This End

          I'm Sorry , So Sorry

  I Thought You Were My Friend.....

                       1985

                     Memory Box

No More Pain Hides Within The Shadows

  Do Not Try To Open My Memory Box

       For Angry Thunder Lies Within

     Filled With The Promise Of Chaos

     My Past Has Been Taken Away

   Let Us No Longer Fan The Flame

Laid To Rest , Gone Forever She Stays

 Let Us Always Remember Her Name

Fragments Of Sorrow Still Haunt My Mind

When In The Morning I Tried To Wake Her

   Her Empty , Lifeless Soul I Did Find

For I Found She Had Committed Suicide

 Oh , How My Tears Fell , I Blamed God

I Blamed Myself , My Beloved Had Gone

    She Took A Piece Of Me With Her

        So I Now Share My Sad Song

She Was Supposed To Be Mine

  To Me She Was Heaven Sent

 Why Was She Taken From Me ?

To Me She's All That Love Meant

     She Still Haunts My Sleep

   I Still Feel Her Touching Me

  In The Cold And Lonely Night

Will Her Memory Ever Let Me Be ?

  My Pain No Longer Hides In The Shadows

Don't Ever Ask Me To Open My Memory Box

       For Tormented Thunder Lies Within

        Filled With The Promise Of Chaos

    I Will Not Be Defined By Lost Love

Her Memory Is Still Among My Treasures

I Feel She Would Want Me To Love Again

  And Once Again , Seek Life's Pleasures

              I've Shed My Tears

             I've Shared My Pain

            After All These Years

            I Still Feel Ashamed

Her And I Were Only Children

What Did We Know Of Love

I Was Touched By An Angel

As She Was Sent From Above

           At Her End

     I Laid By Her Side

Our Love Wasn't Pretend

 I Cried When She Died

          I Shall Always Damn Suicide

  Yet , I'll Always Have Her In My Heart

            She Really Hurt My Pride

For In My Life I Wanted Her To Be A Part

She Still Had More Love To Give

We Still Had More Love To Make

       She Had A Life To Live

    She Chose Her Life To Take

        Such A Grave Mistake

    After All These Years , Still Fall My Tears

The Memory Box Shall Remain Forever Closed

    Because The Memories Are Forever Mine

               Until The End Of Time.....

                    August 14 2020

Hi It's Me Again The Poet Dude , This Poem Was 

Written For An English Class When I Was 16 Years

Old. Although It Would Seem As If It Was For A 

History Class. It Didn't Win Any Prizes , However

My Teacher Opened My Eyes , Pointing Out That

I Should Try My Hand As A Poet Or Perhaps Even

Try To Be A Song Writer. So This Is One Of My 

First Attempts At Writing. So Enjoy And Leave Me 

A Comment If You Would.  Thank You.....

           Child Of Slaughter

  About Two Hundred Years Ago

       Upon The African Shore

The Waters Had Brought A Curse

A Racial Scar , Left Forever More

  All Men Are Created Equal

     Or So A Document Said

Was This Just A Play On Words

     Just Written To Be Read

     Power For Pleasure

A Home Port Of Treasure

  Slaves Come In Herds

 To Be Bought And Sold

   Freedom For Gold

Freedom For A Dollar

They Live In A Shack 

 Chains And A Collar

      Child Of Slaughter

     A Curse Of The Skin

The Bondage , The Massacre

     Evil , Greed And Sin

 Escape From Your Shack

           Foolish Slave

    Scars Upon Your Back

You'll Dig Your Own Grave

         President Lincoln

          A Bill Of Rights

             A Civil War

        Stars And Stripes

   Were We Fighting For White ?

   Were We Fighting For Black ?

Should They Be Allowed Rights ?

 Or Should They Be Sent Back ?

            The War Is Now Over

     The Racist Seed Has Been Sown

       Although The North Has Won

No Kindness To The Slaves Is Shown

      Now They Look To America

          The Home Of The Brave

            The Land Of The Free

The Home Of The Now Unwanted Slave

         Unwanted In This Society

             Punched In The Face

           For This Their Anxiety

              An Unwanted Race

      Now The Birth Of The Klan

         Protest With The Flame

     To Protect Their White Land

    And Their Children The Same

          It Started On A Shore

         Did It End With A War ?

          It Burns As The Flame

     That Will Not Give In To Water

No Longer Slave , Child Of Slaughter

                         1982
