Between the lines
My eyes have seen
all the lies in between
the lines in the paragraph
that you dare telegraph.
My heart cannot take
another loss, for Heaven's sake.
From the last I still suffer.
There's no break, there's no buffer.
I think of the day I shall be free
from all the pain you gave me
Why must my heart be forsaken?
True love it has never taken.
Strolling down the path I see,
two visions of me.
Walking hand in hand they go
What the future holds no one knows
As they approach the crossroads, one could see
both turn to look at me
Each one looked at the road ahead
one with fear, one with dread
They took a step to start
Their hands let go, but not their heart
Their eyes welled with tears as they disappeared
down the roads of dread and fear
As I approached the crossroads I could see
no sight of the visions of me
fear and dread had gone
down their paths alone
The path that was left for me to take
was one few had dared to make
The choice was mine and mine alone
For my sin

Leaving the World Behind
Wilted and withered
My soul has dithered
Crys from the heart
Whilst you depart
Tears of sorrow
Seek the morrow
Sadness has come
Harps, angels strum.
The sky shows bright
With rays of heaven's light
St. Pete patiently awaits
Your arrival at heaven's gate
'Til death, we did part
Shattered lies my heart
Your departure unexpected
Thoughts if it, rejected
Hate, love, love hate
Anger for sorrow's sake
Time heals the pain
Only your memory will remain
Several years have now passed
Memories continue to outlast
The loneliness of the mind
Since you left the world behind

Lost upon the Ocean
Though the night shines bright
With heaven's light
The loneliness creeps
When the darkness is deep
I lay my hand
Where you should be
Walking in the sand
I dream of you and me
In a cold sweat, I awake
My heart, it doth ache
Tears slowly stream
Eyes losing their gleam
Fighting the depression
Loneliness and aggression
Day in, day out
Makes my heart stout
Protected by a virtual wall
The heart can no longer hear the call
To feel love's emotion
Now that it is lost upon the ocean

All Is Not Lost
As I awake each day
I question the reason
I have chosen to endure
this pain for all seasons.
I lie in bed
greiving for my loss
of a life I once had
when I was able to walk.
All is not lost
to no avail
I will endure at all costs
this pain will not prevail.
The lonliness I feel
is like a hawk circling its prey
no matter where I hide
it will never go away.
A love I once had
has surely gone astray
for Eros has lost his arrows
and secretly flown away.
All is not lost
to no avail
I will endure at all costs

Literature
Oh Light, Where Art Thou?
A darkness shrouds my very soul
as the pain strengthens
the darkness grows.
Demons lurk in the shadows
awaiting the day
I will give into the pain
so they can steal my soul away.
Oh Light! Save me from myself!
I haventh the strength to fight
these demons from Hell.
This wretched pain
is driving me insane
testing my will
grinding my mind away.
Are these demons for real
or just my imagination?
I cannot tell
for they promise only righteous indignation.
Oh Light! Save me from myself!
Give me the strength to fight
the demons conquering my mind.

My Darling Son
Eyes so blue,
love so true
you give me the life
I gave you.
So much strife
in my life
you give me the strength
to carry on the fight.
I want to be the mother you deserve
this bed confines me without reserve
but my love for you
has gotten me through,
Alas! My Darling Son.
I vow to you just one
I will not give up this fight
as long as you are in my life.

Friends Until the End
To my loving daughter,
you will never know,
how much you mean to me,
for I love you so.
Today you are ten
your plans come to an end
for the party you palnned
has no friends.
Your heart is broken,
saddness held within
no matter what I tell you
I cannot make up for them.
I feel your pain
but cannot explain
why your friends hurt you
without restrain.
I have lived in your shoes
felt what you do
my mother did nothing
but her I am not.
We will leave
what was meant to be
for a day dedicated
to just you and me.
I wish you knew
how much I admire you

To Myself I Promise You
To myself,
I promise you,
Your dreams will come true,
No matter what you face,
I will never fail you.
You have been down many roads,
Crossed many bridges,
some of which you burned,
out of pure vengence.
Crying out to the Lord
Doesn't seem to help,
he is deaf to your words,
and forsaken you to a life
of damnation and Hell.
Your father liked to drink,
under the influence he did not think,
he tortured your mind, body and soul,
took away all that you know,
left you beaten, battered and bruised.
Stealing your most preciuos virtues.
Tortured, disabled, mentally unstable,
you gained the strength,
When you were able,
to run fro

Love is My only Token
Known no notoriety
Suppressed by society
Beaten down
Left to drown
Nearly broken
Love is my only token
Keeps me sane
No matter how inane
Or stringent the pain
In living a life
With so much strife

Wow, something just hit me today. It was an urge. An urge to do something different from the norm. So I looked up my dev art page and after about five minutes of hacking, I was able to remember my user name and password to get back in. After reviewing the profile page I noticed it had been nearly two years since I last logged in and added a line, photo or even a note.
I began to wonder why I had stepped away for so long. Was it boredom with Dev Art or just that I have been busy or distracted with work, kids, and perhaps even life itself? After much thought I concluded I spent entirely too much time on Facebook and that is what my problem was
It has been some time since visiting my page here on DA. Life has seen many turns and twists. I have lost and gained and gained and lost. Much like everyone else in this life. The one thing I learned through the past two years is that I can be happy no matter where I am as long as I am doing what I love.
Now that I am reestablished in H-Town, I am loving the fact that summer is right around the corner. I guess I missed being here in Texas... more than I will ever want to admit.
Last night I had a brainstorm wash thru my cranium. Of course this was after I fell up the stairs. I know, sounds weird. How dows a person fall up the stairs right? Well when it comes to me, if it is going to happen, it happens. Now back to the brainstorm. I have an idea to open a restaurant in Seward AK. Dining at its finest. Seward has nothing there remotely near what I want to bring to it. It is a small town and a huge tourist attraction during the summer. Would you take a chance and make the investment of time and money for something like this if you found your research supported your theories of success?
I know you probably won't get this, but I've been thinking of you and the kids lately. I miss you guys. If you are ever back in TX, I would love to hear from you.
