SORRY EVERYONE FOR BEING AWAY FOR AWHILE. HERE IS ONE I WROTE JUST THE OTHER DAY, MAYBE IT WILL MAKE UP FOR MY ABSENCE.

Through out the years

All the frowns

Have turned into smiles

After all the

Blood, sweat and tears

 

It has been a long hard road

One filled with ups and downs

But one that I would not trade

For anything in this world

It’s a story worth being told

 

When I think of you I sigh

Very deeply and collect my thoughts

Taking me back to a time when

Our love was brand new

It seems to always make me cry

 

Its not of pain or sorrow

It’s the thought of happiness

That comes with the love

You give me each and every day

One that I know will be there tomorrow

 

Our love is tried and true

So I dedicate this poem

To the one that has captured

My heart and my soul

I dedicate this poem to you

 

Your more than just an I love you…..



Simply.......

Spending countless nights alone

Thinking of you all the time

I dream of the days

That will bring us together once more

Instead of talking on the phone

 

The feel of your body at night

Leaves me dreaming all the time

Of your sweet kisses

And the time spent making love

Till the early morning light

 

The minutes turn in to days

From the time you left my door

Not knowing when I will see you

Or when I will be able to hold you again

Yet my love for you will be there always

 

Honey I am on my way

I hope that your ready for me

Because I am not giving up on you

Nor will I let you give up on me

I will be there so you can hear me say

 

Baby be mine tonight

Let me hold you close to me

So you can feel the love

Flowing through me like a raging river

You know it's true because it feels so right

 

Let me make it really simple for you

My heart is yours to keep

I give it to you freely

With all that it contains

Because I simply love you...

 

 



Lifes wild rides...

It’s been along time coming

You know that I needed it

And now you got my

Mind off and running

 

Trying to think of what to say

Stammering and stuttering

Over the words on the phone

You got to me in a special way

 

No I can’t explain how it can be

All’s I know is now I can shout

Out my love for you to the world

And show it to you for all to see

 

I once suffered from a broken heart

Buy you would not allow me

To stay that way for very long

You knew what was best right from the start

 

You could see right through me

Straight into my heart

You saw what was true

And you knew what could be

 

So you threw a chance to the wind

By taking my heart with both hands

Holding it as if it was made of glass

Hoping there would be no end

 

On the ever changing tides

We are joined together

By our hearts and souls

Floating through life on its wild rides….



The real deal

  

I know I don’t have the looks

That will turn the heads

Walking down the street

I spent my life in the books

 

Learning and living the way I should

Working my way through life

Being the gentlemen that I am

Living it the only way I could

 

Some say I am sweet and dear

They say I am the kind of man

They have wanted all their life

Yet here I am alone bringing up the rear

 

Nice men do finish last

I am living proof of that

Just taking it one day at a time

I learn from what’s in my past

 

I ask you to look past this outer shell

And see what’s in my heart and soul

There you will find a man

That has been through hell

 

Although I have been there and back

I can never give up searching

For the one woman who needs me

For more than just a night in the sack

 

I am here and I am real

So get to know me before you judge

Me on my looks alone

I am a cowboy now and always

 

 I am the real deal





Untitled so far..

You know hon

I been trying

For along time

To get things done

 

But no matter what I do

When I turn to leave

My heart always stays behind

Cause I can’t get over you

 

Your memory burns in my mind

With every season that passes

The more they stay the same

Broken hearts can’t keep time

 

Nights turn into days

And the feeling without you

Hurts more than

Asking you to stay

 

No baby I just don’t understand

Why we can’t just leave it alone

To heal the way it should

Lets hold each others hand

 

Baby its all I know

That your half of my tears

Half of my heart

And all of my soul



Untitled so far..

With you lying beside me

Alone in the dark

Feeling your heart beat with mine

 

Softly I whisper

You know I am sincere

Yet how can our love be so blind

 

We stayed together

 But drifted apart

And here you are still by my side

 

Living without you

And living alone

Keeps this house so cold

 

Wanting to hold you

And wanting you near

How much I wanted you home

 

I come to you with loving arms

Hoping you will see

What your love means to me

 

You say you will still love me

Then turn and walk away

Now what do I do with these empty arms



What say you Jan 21st '05

Will you take my heart

And keep it for your own

Or will you set me free

And keep us apart

 

What say you

 

I have waited for so long

To be with someone like you

One who will give me her love

And keep me where I belong

 

What say you

 

Am I here just for your pleasure

To have fun with as you please

Or am I here till the end of time

And be someone you will treasure

 

What say you

 

Please let me know right away

What I mean to you

And where I stand in your life

So I know if I go or I stay

 

What say you

 

You have my heart, soul and ears

So tell me quickly whats in your heart

Before I go crazy

And burst out in tears

 

What say you

 



Hello Honey. Jan 21st 2005

Hello honey

No I don’t know what to say

Except that I think about you

Every minute of every day

 

When I think

Of the times we have shared

There isn’t anything

Anyone can offer that can compare

 

I can

Tell you what love can be

And how deep it flows in my heart

Yet to prove my love I must set you free

 

I would

Give anything if you loved me

As much as I love you

I can only hope its whats ment to be

 

It will

Be the hardest thing I will ever do

To walk away from this

Still loving you

 

My heart

Now lays in the palm of your hands

Keep it safe from harm

And keep it in your plans

 

Now that

I have your full attention

My love for you

Will always be there with no more tention

 

I am here for you now and always…..

 



Silly little games.

I have been here before

It’s a place I don’t want to be

 I know what’s in store

Its easy for me to see

 

Thinking that I have found

The perfect woman in you

When I looked at you I came unwound

Its almost too good to be true

 

In time my worst fears have came true

You showed me your true heart and soul

So now I hide my heart away from you

Keeping it under lock and key all the while growing cold

 

Here, here’s another quarter for you

And I will send you on your way

So you can play your games the way you choose

Now you can play another day

 

My heart isn’t a toy

Its mine to give away

To the one who will fill it with joy

And not lead me astray

 

With silly little games.

 



I know this one is long, but it was the only way to capture the true feelings of it. I hope you like it.

There’s a new voice on the wind

So strong and powerful

That when you hear it, you can’t

Help but stop in your tracks

And listen for it again

 

The sound sends chills down your spine

And you know that his eyes have

Came to rest upon you

 They seem to see right through you

And hold you frozen in time

 

You have always lived your life

Thinking that there could never

Be true love at first sight

And now it stands right before

Your eyes, and it leaves you in a strife

 

The rage inside starts to go out of control

So you fight with your own feelings

Telling yourself that it just can’t be true

That someone can just look at you

And reach right in and touch your soul

 

The voice calls to you one more time

And your heart melts from the heat

Of passion that flows through your body

Somewhere in the back of your mind

You can’t help but think that this must be a crime

 

You are sure this time deep down

That this man could be the one that you

Have waited for all this time, yet you know

That his heart is free and you realize

That you must let him go so he won’t touch the ground

 

You decide that you must leave him free

In hopes that he will find his way back to

You in the time of his greatest need

When that day arrives you will surely

Know that this is what was ment to be.



Fear of a cowgirl

Just 5 foot 5 and dynamite

She’s more than a handful

She is on the loose again

And she is wound up tight

 

She will kick you while you’re standing

And laugh at you when you go down

She would rather rope you up

Like a calf at a branding

 

Will the beer and the guts

She has a way about her

That seems to get to you

And drive you nuts

 

With no fear in her eyes

On a dare she walks through Wal-Mart

With nothing on but her chaps

And the strings swaying on her thighs

 

Her sassy attitude will get to you

Each and every time

If you take your eyes off her

She will come up with something new

 

If she ever starts to fuss

You can bet your bottom dollar

Heads are going to roll

She will put the fear of a cowgirl in all of us

 



Two golden bands.

I must be in love

Cause when I think of you

My heart tends to skip a beat

I know you were sent from above

 

A cowgirl to call my own

Who will fill my heart

With memories and love

Never ever to leave me alone

 

No I ain’t afraid to be alone

But even I need love in my life

And baby there ain’t no way

That my heart is made of stone

 

You captured my heart and soul

And where this may all lead

I am not for sure

I think God will only know

 

I will leave it in his hands

But I will hope and pray

That one day we will

Be joined together

 

By two golden bands.

 



Dream a Dream of me. Dec 23 2004

Late at night you think of me

Wondering what I am doing

And if I love you the same

When you get here

You can show me what love can be

 

You know our love was ment to be

It’s the kind of love and laughter

That we have always searched for

No one needs you more than I

And Baby I need you here with me

 

With you life can be so sweet

Oh darling you know

How much your love means to me

It’s a love that will stand the test of time

A love that can never be beat

 

Its such a shame

With you  stuck in Arizona

Just a dreaming of me

Maybe one day your dreams will come true

For you and me to share a last name

 

Dream a Dream of me.

 



Loving a cowboy ain't easy. Dec 20th 2004

The thrill of the crowd
the lights and the pain
keeps this man comming back for more
its the cowboy life for me
a lonely life that seems loud

Yet the road is cold and lonely
and the wheels keep a burnin
tearing down the highway miles
This road ain't no place
to raise a family

While your restless heart sleeps alone tonight
somewhere down the line its you and me
lovin a rodeo man ain't what its supposed to be
yet you stand by me
and can't wait to hold me ever so tight

lying beside you in the dark
your heart beat next to mine
in time we have drifted apart
yet here you are by my side
can we recapture that spark

So here I am with nothing to lose
hopeing you see the man you love
wanting to hold you
and wanting you near
oh darling I have something to prove

I am so lost without you
no being apart ain't easy
two strangers trying to find love again
its the joy of rediscovering you
that helps me through.

Loving a cowboy ain't easy.



The Rodeo Queen. This one is dedicated to Tiff, you know who you are. Dec 18th

Walking in a slow gait
her mind is focused
and determined,
she knows its comming
but she still has to wait

Then in the beat of a heart
the wind rushes to her face
and the whip starts to sing
she is off and running
she did it, she got a clean start

Running full steam
she turns hard on a dime
rounding the bend
she leans hard again
its almost like a dream

Gripping the reins tight
her hands are cold and sweating
there is but one more to go
comming round, it starts to lean
her heart becomes real light

Praying to god that it stays
she wants to turn and look
but she spurs and whips
harder and faster
the crowd and lights become a haze

With a bone wrenching stop
she reaches the end of the line
with a twinkle in her eye
and a smile on her face
she sees her time is on top

Quietly she turns around
and passes a lady making ready
for her ride around the barrels
they look at each other and nod
but never making another sound

Its almost like a dream
she stops to rest
as the last rider
comes to a stop
she sees her time is tops

For she is the rodeo Queen



Keeper of the Key was written by Chandra Hanson, I new friend and great lady. I will post more from her when I can get them.

Keeper of The Key


From the moment I open my eyes....
Thoughts of you, where my future lies
Nightly you haunt my sleep....
For all time, my heart you shall keep

Thoughts run thru my mind....
These ties that forever bind
Such love so pure and true....
Your whispers of I love you

Distance so far from you to me....
Your skin to caress, your face to see
Miles separate but my heart beats true....
Our blessed union, heart mended~ life anew

Without you daily in my life....
Only causes me loneliness, unhappiness and strife
Please take your place at my side....
Allow our separate worlds, our lives to collide


All my life I've searched for a soul like yours....
Awaiting your arrival through one of life's doors
I'll wait forever if I must, an eternity....
For you hold my love hold my soul's key



This poem is the very first one that I wrote. But by far not the best.

It’s neither here nor there

It comes to me at odd times

It fills me with joy

Even in times of despair

 

I can not hold it in my hand

Even though I can feel it in my heart

I know it’s right there every day

But it keeps running like sand

 

I can only hope to find true love

For I know when I do

It will be the best day of my life

And my heart will soar like a dove

 



5th of august. I hope you like it.

When I close my eyes

I dream of days gone by

And the love we shared

Long before we said our good bye’s

Oh how I miss those days

With love and laughter

And holding you tight

No it wasn’t just some passing craze

 

Oh darling speak to me

And let me show you what love can be

Let me show you love is grand

Baby close your eyes and take my hand

Oh darling speak to me

 

You said your afraid to love again

Yet the love I feel for you

Is growing stronger in every way

So baby open up and let me in

Let our hearts combine as one

And hold me oh so tight

I want to kiss your sweet gentle lips

And make love to you under the sun

 

Oh darling speak to me

And let me show you what love can be

Let me show you love is grand

Baby close your eyes and take my hand

Oh darling speak to me
