Novels, poems, and the written word
I have a few ideas for novels, but nothing set in stone. My poetry seems to flow easier, but I think that’s more or less because I’ve been writing lyrics for so long to go with previously written music that was mine (I use to be in a band lol).
I’ve always wanted to write a full length novel; something more than 150-200 pages; I’ve just never had the stamina to push past that elusive 60,000 word-count goal. But I feel the time is getting near where I might be able to succeed passed 200 pages. My writing is getting stronger, patience is there, and my will-power has come a long way too.
Anyway, just thought I would to take a moment this beautiful morning to share my thoughts on my writing behaviors.
Have a good day everyone!!!
Thanks for reading!
2-for-1, two poems for you
An Arrow through Me
Love is like an arrow
straight through the heart
Its sharp blow pierces my lung,
and I can not breathe
The look in your eyes
is hard to endure
O, sweet love,
won’t you let me go?
She will never let me go (Onward Hearts)
She lets go gently as I stare at her;
She is made up of stars, and dreams; planets
really that shine brighter than a fiery ball
called the sun
I wanted another kiss; a tender peck was
everything to me; the sweet taste lingers on my lips still
Butterfly Hearts, a July poem
Like the butterfly,
she soars high above
A heavenly miracle,
she is the answer
You are my blessing, and a godsend; my
muse
You are the reason for
every breath and motiv
You are not only my hopes and
dreams, but the
Queen of my heart
Silent Sunday
Beautiful early morning photo by a fellow artist
Butterfly Hearts
Like the butterfly,
She soars high above
A hidden miracle,
She is the answer to my prayers
You are my winged blessing;
My Muse, hope, and dreams
You are the Queen of my heart,
You are the one for me

Editor for you
Never Give Up
Son, I know it hurts to
Grow into a man; but also know that
You are fine, and it will all be okay
I’ve witnessed things,b and I have been in your shoes; dream your dreams, and be who you
Want to be
I will never give up
On you
Take these lyrics; take my words; take my voice, And learn from them
Don’t confuse your heart; confide in God; He
Knows the truth behind your eyes
I will never give up
On you, son
Son, I know it hurts to
Show who you
Really are; but, also, see that
She has eyes to view too
I will never give up
On you
Take this song; take my lyrics; take my voice
And hold it close
Don’t confuse love with hate; confide in
Him. Fight the lies that
Reside inside of you
A day in the life …
So, I got a job. It’s pretty cool, the thought that I won’t be home all day.
It’s hard being here 24/7, but I’m persistent and strong. I try to look at things in a brighter aspect. I try to move forward.
It’s not a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, but this new job means a lot to me. It gives me a chance to succeed in life, and that’s all I really want right now.
Thank you guys for reading my poems. The “likes” mean a lot to me.
