Stranger in the Dark

My stranger in the dark is gone
He showed his face a few times to me
And with a smile he disappeared again
Rumors of who he was echoed in the halls
Factoids of his travels and escapades filled my brain
Wishful thinking made me sit in the dark waiting for another glimpse
But as the phones remained silent, mailboxes empty he remained in the dark
Treasures from his work were given to us from others who had seen him
And with great joy we would devour those sweet treasures
Time moved on and eventually so would I
But that figment in the dark remained in my heart
One more peek, one more whisper, one more hug would answer my heart
But, today we say goodbye to my stranger in the dark

Another great morning

Two months have gone by and you are getting so big
Being your father is all time favorite gig
Staring at those chubby cheeks and super cute dimples
I pray time doesn't fly by and your driving with pimples
I'm ready to enjoy your first words, steps, and day of school
But for now I hold you tight and tell you I love you as you fist pound my chest and drool
7am feedings you chow down then giggle at me as we play
In the background your ears echo The Temptations, which you will know one day
With a straining look on your face I begin to sing....."mama, oh mama oh mine...."
And your eyes are entranced with the words and lovely rhymes
Well inside that's what I'm hoping your feeling or thinking
And with that big dimpled smile you flash I can feel my heart sinking
Today Temptations, tomorrow Jackson 5
And as the time flies by your musical knowledge will be sky high

Max the Wonder Dog

Driving you home was a joy as you sat in the front seat
You were the cutest puppy, fluffy, soft, and huge white feet
We took you in and gave you a name, MAX
Our other dogs welcomed you and licked you, I guess to help you relax
A small pack of mixed mutts was created and you had the most clout
Always so strong even that first month when, from the back yard, you got out
Neighbors called and when I went to get you "he can come play anytime" was what they would say
And as I drove you back home I thought to myself "NO WAY"
Selfish as that may be
You belonged to me
Months would pass and began to grow way bigger that the other two
And as you guys all played out back they new who was in charge...You
Every day it there was something new I found you had eaten or chewed
And if there was nothing left I sure would find out when you pooed
Sixty pounds of lap dog is what you wanted to be
And there you were curled up in the recliner with me
Always following us around so you wouldn't miss if we did something good
Or was it MAYBE because you thought we were getting up to get you food
Scraps here, scraps there you would sit so perfect and chomp with joy if a gave in
Mom always new that if you begged for some, Id always let you win
So when you got sick I laid with you as you glared at me in pain
And with every breath your life was beginning to drain
You began whining as to be letting me know the end was near
So I leaned over and whispered into your ear.............
Goodbye Max, I love you

CLIMAX

She scratches
She Claws
She's breathing hard
She's starting to sweat
She's grunting and moaning
She's sliding
She's using both hands because its making it better
she's begins to grind the teeth together
She's almost there
She's almost reached the top
She............FINALLY GOT HER JEANS ON!!!

Thoughts in Beginning

My world has just begun to spin
No matter what position it stops I will be the one to win
My son is now with us and wow how scared can you be
To think of all the adventures in store for you and me
Will we enjoy a walk through a overgrown riverbank
Or are we going to play army with toy solders and a tank
Will you come running to me because something scared you in your room
Making me run and chase that monster out with the broom
Will you give me the secret key to your magical kingdom built with sheets
Or will I be the dragon flying around your castle with my fire breathing cheeks
Will you want to learn to drive my car so you can be more free
And put thoughts of staying up worrying when your not home when you're supposed to be
Will you know all of your life that you are my little man
YES....because I will remind you every day and as often as I can.

Shirt of the Day

Come here little one, vamos a hablar
Let me tell you story of Los Mexicanos
You see one day back in pinche 1861 este vato, Benito Juarez said toma
He was no longer paying los gringos

So, Pierre, aka France decided to attack Mexico for their dinero
Lead by General Ignacio "nacho" Seguin los mexicanos luchado con fuerza
Eventually Defeating the 8000 Frenchmen para la tierra de Mexico
And on Cinco De Mayo 1862 Mexico had Defeated the French
Eventually Maximillian would take over Mexico and Los Estados Unidos helped
Maximilian was deposed by President Benito Juárez and executed, five years after the Battle of Puebla..........
OR THE STORY GOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!

They know

Tearing at my skin their claws rip at my soul
I lie and tell myself I'm always in control
Hounding my dreams they never let me forget
As I jump out of bed afraid my the sheets show where I was with my sweat
They send shivers down my spine
And I soon realize its not a shiver but them ripping my spine out one inch at a time
I beg and plea for them to end the pain and release me from this
My eyes close and like always I think of the things I'm going to miss
Just before I am devoured I gather all the strength I can
And with eyes wide shut I let go with my right then my left hand
FREEDOM
