The Best Season

The sand was hot beneath my feet,

I didn’t care, I welcomed the heat.

Me and Summer are like one,

I love the warmth of the sun.

Winter is gone, I am so glad,

Though in Spring, I can be sad.

School and snow are both such bores,

In the summer, I don’t mind my chores.

I’d rather dig a garden in the sun,

Than shovel snow when it’s minus one.

Summer is the time for me,

The only time I feel free.

I can lay on the beach all day long,

And listen to the ocean’s song.

The ocean song fills my mind,

Allowing me to unwind.

If I need to cool my skin,

I race to the sea and jump in.

With all I’ve said I need no reasons,

To say Summer is the best of seasons.

My Angel

The sound of his voice in my ear,

Comforts all my doubts and fears.

He holds me close in his embrace,

As he wipes teardrops from my face.

He promises to keep me safe from harm,

As he wraps me within his arms.

I sometimes don’t know what is wrong,

I worry too much, I’m just not strong.

The day we met, I just knew,

With this guy, I would not be blue.

But now, with him, I can share,

I know he’ll listen, I know he cares.

For the first time, I know true love,

He is my angel, sent from above.

From this guy, I’ll not soon part,

He owns my soul, body, and heart.

Ups and Downs

Life’s little ups and downs,

can turn us all into clowns.

You push away, I pull you in.

Will I lose, or will I win?

I beg and plead for you to stay.

My heart would break if you went away.

I always love more than is returned,

Too many times, my heart’s been burned.

But I can’t love with just a part,

I will always give all of my heart.

Father’s Day

I will never forget the day,

That you suddenly went away.

I never knew that it could come so quick,

You were never ever even sick.

I was merely a boy, barely eighteen,

No experience, still so green.

Just starting to learn from you,

The things in life I had to do.

Why hadn’t I listened before,

Thinking you just a big ole bore.

Now I try to copy the way,

You got things done every day.

If I could have one more chance,

To learn from you, life’s big dance.

I would appreciate every moment we had,

Because I love and miss you, Dad.

A Father’s Love

A father’s love is the one,

That is hardest when you’re his son.

He wants you to be big and tough,

And if you’re not then he is gruff.

I will always remember the day,

I told my dad that I was gay.

He wasn’t happy, that is true,

I could see that he was blue.

There were days he’d treat me bad,

And that made me so very sad.

But he hugged me so very tight,

And he told me that it’s alright.

A father’s love may seem to go,

The love they feel may not show.

But I think that it’s still there,

I hope it is and that they care.

A father’s love can be the one,

You cherish most when you’re his son.

The Monster in My Head

There’s a monster in my head,

It killed my cat, my loyal Fred.

Soon, all the local neighbor pets,

Disappear just like casino bets.

My neighbors have blamed only me,

But it’s the monster they cannot see.

I tried to tell them to run away,

Before the monster comes out to play.

They thought they’d caught the guilty foe,

So, they didn’t turn and go.

They yelled and pushed, scaring me,

I closed my eyes, let the monster free.

The room grew quiet as a mouse,

My eyes opened to a bloody house.

All my friends, dead at my feet,

My hands covered in bloody heat.

They were right, but they should have fled,

It was always me, the monster in my head.

Unbroken Heart

I have no heart, just a hole.

Empty and just as black as coal.

Did I ever have a heart?

I think I did, back at the start.

I gave it out to many guys,

Feeling happy like I could fly.

Each one that left, I felt blue.

There was only one thing I could do.

I cut my heart out of my chest.

I felt like that was for the best.

I no longer felt so sad.

But neither did I feel glad.

Then he appeared within my sight.

And filled the empty hole with light.

Bright blue eyes, golden hair.

Once again, I began to care.

He let me finally feel,

That my broken heart could heal.

Falling

Are we falling in love or falling apart?

Let me know so I can tell my heart.

One touch from you makes my heart race,

But too soon there’s a tear on my face.

With you, there’s a lot of ups and downs,

A million smiles, a billion frowns.

I’m not sure how much I can take,

How many times can one heart break?

I love you more than I can say,

But I’m not sure if you’ll stay.

Please tell me and tell my tender heart,

Are we falling in love or falling apart?
