Missed her ...

She stood there
Gently swaying
Dancing to the beat of her heart
I got caught watching
Couldn't tear my eyes apart
With a smile, she said hello
With a wink, she stole my heart
Captivated the very first moment 
By a beauty she couldn't hide
Joyful, playful, and coyly shy
Distracted from what I was doing
She had me completely mesmerized 
Felt myself drawn to her
Yet my steps were cut short
As she faded away from me
My feelings in full retort 


                      ... by that much!
                                       WWIII

Hi ! ...

Am I feeling infatuated
Has my heart run amuck
Is my mind playing scenarios
Am I lonely and feeling stuck
Doubts that fill my mind
Insecurities block my heart
The lack of confidence kills me
Dead before I start
I try to open and express
The feelings I have inside
Yet every time I open up
The more I want to hide
What searching needs to be
What discoveries have to be made
How do I approach
What words do I say


                          ... My name is ...
                                           WWIII

A Dream ...

A foot massage
Anytime when in need
Soft gentle kisses
While watching TV
Dinner ready and waiting
Cooked by you or me
I yearn for our time
You and me together
I search for you
Your come-hither
To steal my heart
Least I die, 
Alone I wither


                    ... amidst ...
                             WWIII
                              7-28-14


Share the Love ...

Come what may
I have no fears
Face the challenges
As they rear
With strength in Faith
I will conquer
Learn what's needed
And become better
Come what may
Together we rise
The strength of our love
Will be no surprise
We'll act as one
With support and understanding
We'll share with Kindness
There'll be no dividing
Come what may
You'll see things through
For I'm amazed
By the beauty that's you


        Share the love she needs
        The Love she wants
        Share what's you
                   ... Never Give Up!
                                         WWIII

Been on my mind
For quite sometime
Inspire the rhythm
Within my rhyme
Envoke the knowledge
I already knew
Look for the smile
Having shared with you
Try to be positive
Honest with self
Disguise not
Fool no one else
Present what's real
This choice is mine
Share how I feel
What's on my mind
Have your perspective
Your point of view
Value it much
If you hold it true

Have a Blessed Day

As I woke this morning
Greeting the sunrise
I couldn't but help
I just had to smile
What a wonderful weekend
With family and friends
Sharing good times together
No better way to spend
Rejuvenated my spirit
Nourished  my soul
Provided me reasons
To keep on the go
I hope I was worthy
Your sharing of time
Grateful for you
Thanks for blessing mine

It's a strange place
Where Life begins
And how it ends
The human heart and all it transcends
How it reaches out
And yes, how it sometimes pretends
Big heart, huge heart, heart of gold
Broken heart, cold heart, heart of stone
No matter which state
The heart is home
Do yourself a favor
Warm your heart
Let it be known

Smile ...

To elicit a smile 
What does it take
To invoke those emotions
Is it ever a mistake
To be Thankful
To be Kind
To share a thoughtful time
And positive mind
Do I act a fool
Or share a compliment
Do I enjoy our time
Like it's Heaven sent
Do we listen
Do we talk
Hand in hand
Enjoy a walk
We choose our moments
And with whom we share
We share our smiles
Because they're there
So what does it take
To elicit a smile from you
What needs to be shared
To bring out your cool
To smile wide
And smile bright
To feel from your heart
You're a Light in my Life


                        ... and warm my heart
                                             WWIII

Day In ...

I stumble
I sometimes fall
Wrapped in the notion
I won't be here at all
Out of face
Out of mind
Out of place 
And Out of time
The visions flash
The thoughts rumble
Left here Thankful
And very humble
I'm blessed in many ways
Hopeful it leads to more days
Make the best 
Of any given situation
Having Faith sharing Kindness
While showing compassion
I stumble 
I sometimes fall
I get back up
I will stand tall


                             ... Day Out
                                     WWIII

Help Me ...

I often wonder
When anyone reads my poems
What are their thoughts
Did I bring it home
Do my words matter
Could you relate
Did you like it so much
Or truly hate
Does it matter
I'm sorry, no
I write what I write
So I can let it go
I simply offer
And hope it helps
Get you through the day
Whatever's dealt 


                       ... Help You
                                WWIII

Slow ...

In just an instant
Everything can change
The calm world you knew
Now up in rage
Breath seems endless and flowing
A quickening with no signs of slowing
The mind is racing
Yet knows not where it's going


                                   ... down
                                WWIII

Given Me ...

Thinking of you
Having inspired my mind
Why hold back 
Knowing the limits of time
Never knew the meaning
Living to the fullest
Live and enjoy
The rest is just bullshit
Learn to let go
Let nothing inhibit
Those who judge
They just don't get it
Life is short
The term is relative
We never have enough
Considering what you have to give
In case I don't say it
Thank you very much
You show me how to live
And that I too can touch


                        ... The Reasons
                                      WWIII

Feel ...

I question myself
The thoughts of inaction
I asked to apply
Yet with no satisfaction
I sit here and wonder 
What I want
What am I looking for
What have I caught
Sweaty palms
Feeling butterflies
Tell myself the truth
Or feed myself lies
What am I doing
Why so unsure
Why even question
Just follow the lure


                     ... anew
                            WWIII

July 19, 2012

It comes without notice
The sum of your fears
The attack of Panic
Sheds more than tears
It buries one's confidence
Courage all but dies
Left with a shell once was
Now seeks and hides


                                     ...
                                      WWIII

July 17,2013I

In a moment's time
Everything can change
From celebrating life
To endless rain
Cherish every moment
But let it not define
Moments good and bad
Deal with it and leave it behind
Being thankful for all I have
And wishing everyone more
Time is a gift
Don't leave it on the floor
Too much in your hand
And don't know what to do
Be there for someone
It just might help you, too


                          WWIII

Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday is here
Remind yourself please
Joyous reasons for you
And for us to breathe
Count your Blessings
Both big and small
Be Thankful for one
Be Thankful for all
Be Mindful of this day
Keep happy positive thoughts
Keep that smile
Without don't be caught


                      WWIII

For You, For Me ...

Twenty years back
Things were different
Twenty years forward
Things won't be the same
Some have five year plans
And search for better ways
Some just simply wake up
And are Thankful for the day
Somewhere life starts living
It's Meaning, Purpose, and Path
Give way for any reasoning
Mindful it no longer asks
Deeds are done for the sake of
We do what needs to be done
All of this will happen
Just share and have fun


                          ... smile and relax
                                    WWIII
                                       July 16, 2014

Go! ...

But what do I do ... Go!
But what happens if ... you'll know, Go!
But it's scary out there! ... Go!
What will I find? ... Go!
Experience, the act of doing and knowing the better of it.
Life experience, because nothing is gained by just watching ... GO! DO!
I'll be here when you get back


                                   WWIII

July 16, 2013

Awake, Thankful, and smiling
Weary, Tearful, and crying
Happy, Joyful, ... lying
Control how you feel
Think positive thoughts 
It may seem dire
It is not, it is not...

Lost photo ...

Had pictured in my mind
How we would be
How loving and caring
The two of us breathe
I believe I would meet you
And know when that was
Believe you would see me
And know just because
I can paint it in my mind
Make seem so real
Yet in my heart
There's nothing to feel
A mere fantasy
Playing over and over
Just like I search
For a four leaf clover
Right place, right time
The situation and chance
To feel in my heart
The start of romance
Passion and devotion
To chase away our fears
Strength and support
To ease our tears
The cart before the horse
Not how this ends
Continue to search
For my best friend 

Your Chance ...

Be cautious old heart
Been fooled before
Feels familiar
Know not what's in store
Been asked to apply
But have no sense
What to do
Is there any chance
Just speak
Be really you
Be yourself
To whom you're true


                       ... move
                              WWIII

July 14, 2014

We often do things
We ought not
We often second guess
We often get caught
Believe in yourself
Not what they say
Stand up for you
All day every day


                  WWIII

Who we are ...

Thankful I am
Thankful for you
Thankful for all I have
And for the things I do
We come to crossroads
We need to make a choice
Let yourself be heard
Not blindly no voice
Bless this day
Enjoy the present
What tomorrow brings
Remember to represent


                    ... what we do
                           WWIII

July 8,2015


Be it from conditioning
Or even from dismay
We still have choices
They're ours to make
Don't wallow in BS
There's no pity party here
Pick yourself up
Give reasons to cheer
Change does happen
Positively choose
Learn from our mistakes
You'll never lose
Make choices for the better
Struggle we will
A better life in the journey
Need not be living hell     


Have Hope
Choose Faith
Have a Blessed day


                          WWIII

Thankful...

Thankful for what is
Thankful for all to come
Make the right choices
Deal with what's done
Whether you go with your gut
Or simply follow your heart
You still have a choice
To accept or to depart
 Have Faith in your abilities 
Adapt and overcome
Stay in check with reality
Do that which can be done
Hopes and Prayers are needed
But we can't idly stand by 
Do what's needed to succeed
You must try and apply
Thankful for all I have
For these are my choices
Mindful as I breathe
Separate from the bull_ _it


                                  WWIII

Scared ...

Do I get angry
Succumb to my fears
Do I clear my mind
I know what's there
No hidden surprises
Take it all in stride
Be Thankful and happy
For all by my side
Gonna get through this
I know what's at stake
I may not see
But my vision is great
What do I do
Treat it as a new chapter
Fill it with Smiles
With joy and laughter
Don't let it get hold
Fears won't let go
I'll be OK
Have Faith and grow


                ... to live.
                          WWIII                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Three Minutes ...

Captivated by your look
Drawn in with your smile
The ease with which we conversed
We'll be here a while
With the depth of your eyes
And comfort of your voice
To engage longer
Was an easy choice
The time slipped by
without a moments notice
Laughter and smiles
We're in reconnaissance
What to do
Absent of strategy
How did she walk away
Having gotten the best of me


                         ... to apply
                                   WWIII

My body shakes I know not why
I see myself die frequently
Frequently I cry
Uncontrollably, from no where, why
I feel joy from my smile
Love in my heart
Kindness when I speak
Hope when it's dark
I'm the same person
However there's change
I'm the same person
I'm not insane
Shit, here comes the rain


        How do they test for this?
                                                WWIII

A World ...

Take me in your world
Show me things I've never seen
How you're like a pearl
Come color my dreams
Show me what I'm missing
Wrapped in the warmth of your eyes
Walk with me together
We'll weather any surprise
Help me discover
A better world of you
Let me explore
What we can do


                  ... a Heart <3
                          WWIII

May your bright smile
Attract kindness like your heart
May your eyes be mindful
As you reach for the stars
May you listen to the melody
And dance with what touches your soul
May we be thankful
For you and your glow

                       Be Blessed ...
                              WWIII

Rough night to start a fight
The mind's wondrous plight
How does it battle the evil's might
Why does it stand and want to do right
The struggles for clarity
The question of purpose
The quest for serenity
And I get this to surface
Battle on! Fight the good fight
Resist the temptations
Find peace in this life
