Extra "Peppered Love" Poems and Thoughts
"Living is a rhythm, making life a rhyme"
Hands of Heaven
Along came winter for you and me
And how we planted our holy tree
Touched by heaven while passing through hell
Till all of a sudden you broke that spell
You heard the words of God anew
Felt hands of heaven carry you
This book's about our heartache and pain
And how our troubles went down the drain
For All Eternity
When life is here to stay, enjoy another day
Don't let it be so cruel, it's something beautiful
It's like snow falling in the wild or a mother embracing a child
It's like sunlight waking your room or a baby reaching for the moon
It's like wiping your eyes from the sand, then opening up your hand
When life gives you that chance, get up you fool and dance
And let your heart be free, for all eternity
(Thoughts)
I will wait for you right here by our favorite swing. We should take a ride again on that yellow bus.
There is something critical my heart wants you to do, it's about a writing authored about you.
There's a tiny part of me I saved when I was two -- I can't tell the difference, is it me or you?
Even though you were a ghost, I've forgiven you the most.
We should order pizza, it is time for us to speak.
Being in your life again is something that I choose, you are still my family I never want to lose.

Kidnapped
Life with you was trying
Times with you were tough
You had locked me in a ward
It was not enough
I remember feeling trapped
Inside a padded room
Going into seizures
Biting on a rubber spoon
It took years of planning
To escape your prison door
Hearing freedom going by
While lying on the floor
I know I was kidnapped
When nobody heard a sound
But I found the key
And turned it all around
|
The Month of May
I would love to run away
And live in the month of May
Life can be a cruel place
Taking everybody’s space
I am ready to retire
I have a plan for hire
One-way ticket to Vietnam
It is how I stay so calm
Death was squealing like a hog
I washed it like a dog
These are imprints I uncovered
From a love I had discovered

A Human Mop
There’s a motor in its mind
It would love to press “rewind”
Every time I made a sound
It would knock me to the ground
I felt like a human mop
Always soaking up its slop
Pulling out its handy tool
It took hours just to cool
It would iron all my skin
Just a way of keeping thin
Burning both my armpits off
No one seen it like a cough
Anger was its favorite toy
Singing proud, “So good like soy”
Love was like a monster truck
Hell has really brought me luck
Locking all my hope away
In its dungeons I would pray
Watching it unleash its might
Praying I would lose my sight
Squeezing all my insides out
Till I never had a doubt
Forcing me out in the cold
I was young and never told
From the love it chose to give
Suicide or should I live
|
Daddy's Roots
It had brought for me a toy
When I was a little boy
It acquired as a kid
Something grandpa always did
Tugging on its daddy’s roots
Breaking me in with its boots
They were always lined with steel
Tearing my Achilles heel
It played soccer with my head
Till I bled the deepest red
I would lose a tooth and bleed
Burning charcoal it would feed
Shooting pigeons at the farm
My hysterics made it calm
Screaming, “There will be less rain”
My starvation was its grain
It had locked me in a shed
All alone without a bed
Sleeping with its rubber snakes
Breaking out in holy shakes
Every gift from it was tainted
I would scream until I fainted
Sharing never came to pass
Love was like a broken glass
I have found another name
Suicide is now my game

Soda Drinks
Living really stinks
So I mix soda drinks
Passing life while on the go
It’s the only thing I know
Till it gets too late
Down the hill I skate
Bottles falling to the floor
At the threshold of the door
Boozing till I just forget
From denial and regret
Reaching for that final shot
It’s the only thing I got
Crashing to a numbing rest
Nausea rising up my chest
Falling off the camel couch
Purging what is in my pouch
Waking to a garbage truck
Back to all the gray I pluck
|
A Frozen Drink
Feeling lonely at a bar
Staring at a midnight star
Reaching for a frozen drink
Slowly sinking in my sink
Flying faster than a jet
Over waters soaking wet
Going under in a flood
Till I hear a call from God
Fishing for the proper meds
Healing in a home with beds
Counting every bit of time
Saving all my precious wine
Drinking only during dinners
Diving with Olympic winners
Sailing into sunny days
Seeing sunlight in my rays
I have made it in the end
All from being my best friend

Icicles and Stones
I remember getting frostbite
Every single season
Being left out in the cold
For no apparent reason
There was no place I could go
My mind was never dressed
Life was always frigid
It left my soul repressed
So I studied skeletons
And I collected bones
I saw pretty pebbles
Made with icicles and stones
I would love to speak with you
About what hurt me most
It will help my frozen body
Begin to defrost
|
A Missing End
I had seen a vision
I don’t know if it’s true
It was of a stranger
Who looked so much like you
It had left me with a thought
I have to let you know
If I do not tell you
I will never let it go
You are still my parent
You had been my friend
Every word between us
Still has a missing end
We were once a family
It’s something I hold true
Do you ever think of me
My heart still misses you

The Very You
There are many ways to live
It makes us who we are
If you disregard yourself
You won't get very far
If you take care of your judgment
It will light your way
It's an opportunity
For you to see today
You are your priority
Protect your heart and soul
If you lead a good life
You will never lose control
You're the only one you need
Be careful what you do
If you trust your instincts
You will love the very you
|
The Inner You
When you don't know what to do
Just listen to your heart
It will lead you on your way
And help you find your start
It will tell you everything
You ever want to know
It will take you every place
You ever need to go
If you buy a ticket
Then open up your door
You will find a kingdom
You have never seen before
Pay attention to the details
They will guide you through
Honesty is what it takes
To find the inner you
|
The Words of Life
I know of another path to help you through this life
It will lead you on your way and you will come alive
If you do not wake up and go pay all of your dues
Once you reach a certain age, you will run out of clues
If you take another look from all the way up here
You will hear the words of life ringing in your ear
You have all the courage, it is powered by your soul
Dignify your every move and you will reach your goal
|
The Game of Life
Life is like a great adventure waiting at your door
It has many different places you have neer seen before
Life can change in just a second like an unexpected sound
It is still a destination always waiting to be found
Living is a big decision, careful how you choose
It is called, "The game of life" you never want to lose
If you ever find your life in desperate need of help
All your answers lie within just reach inside yourself

Little Secrets
Looking back on how you feel
How are you supposed to heal
Grandma tried to plant her food
But they ripped him from the root
As her aching heart grew sore
From a husband killed at war
Digging out of poverty
Burying her tragedy
Always changing her retreats
Hiding out in little secrets
Raising children in a box
Barricaded from the rocks
Never having any money
But her kids were fed with honey
Parachuting in the dark
To some shelter in a park
Walking through the deadly mines
Scared of what tomorrow finds
Like a bloody game of chess
We are left to live your mess
I will always hear that call
When the leaves begin to fall
|
Bunch of Flies
How did all this happen, why are we at war
When is there an ending to this mutilating gore
Are the soldiers coming home because we hear their cries
They are slowly dying out there like a bunch of flies
It is like a horror scene, the stories that they share
Do we have to keep on fighting till there's no one there
How much longer does it take till we see eye to eye
Just how many of our heroes truly need to die
|
Dying in a Plague
How long do we have to fume in battles overseas
Till the time comes necessary crashing on our knees
Can we have a little peace or has it disappeared
Till the very time comes knocking with the news you feared
Just how many of our children does it truly take
Looking like a superhero walking in a cape
No one out there is immune, their scars are never vague
We can save our casualties dying in a plague

If you're terrified of violence, you don't have to live in silence.

Honeycombs
Trapped outside a prison where the silence sings
Begging for forgiveness while his temper swings
Tugging on her armor as the daylight dries
Sobbing in the darkness quietly she lies
Blotching up her body, gripping all her strings
Perfect like a flower, but his pollen stings
Sealed inside her body all the bloody cries
Screaming at the honeycombs floating in the skies
|
Dating Slavery
Every time I make a move, I feel your hunting eyes
I am tired of your eggshells leaving me with lies
All you do is pull a twister anytime I heal
I have given up on us, there's nothing left to feel
You have taken every option, broken every choice
As I lie here paralyzed without a human voice
I am not that angry monster you've made me to be
I'm no longer interested in dating slavery
|
Solid Green Carafe
There was once a trusted time when all we did was laugh
Till you drank that poison from a solid green carafe
We had shared a special love, it felt like a surprise
Ever since you turned up late, I have not seen your eyes
Every night your heart would gleam exhilarating words
Now the only thing you do is hurt me with your chords
There was once a point in time when all we did was kiss
I don't want you anymore, there's nothing left to miss
|
No More
No more roller coaster rides ninety miles an hour
No more making up excuses toying with my power
No more disregarding me no matter what was said
No more squirming like a weasel straight into my bed
No more fancy magic shows interpreting my wishes
No more banging on my door and breaking all my dishes
No more restless movie nights because they are not true
No more popcorn in my bowl because there's no more you
|
Tidal Wave
It's been very many days and tons of colored nights
They control my feelings but are overwhelmed by lights
Stars possess a shining power drawing me to you
Waiting at a crystal cliff and God knows it is true
Shades of purple bring me closer, teaching me to fly
Every night I look and see a different colored sky
I'm a dedicated lion purring at the moon
Counting every tidal wave until I see you soon
|
Never-Ending Pleasure
When you tell me simple things beginning with your heart
I start coloring a canvas painting you an art
I go blasting to the moon from all the words you've said
I don't think you realize what happens to my head
If you choose to feed me slowly, then take off my bib
We can share a great delight together in my crib
If you give me what I need, I'll share with you my treasure
I can promise you a world of never-ending pleasure
|

Singing
If you didn't love me, then my heart would not exist
If you didn't need me, then why does my love persist
If you weren't caring, then my heart would walk away
If you weren't daring, then my love would never stay
| Love
If you hadn't faltered, then my heart would never cry
If you hadn't ventured, then my love would never try
If you didn't conquer, then my heart would have no wings
Now you know the reasons why my love for you still sings
