Poetry - My Beautiful Handful


My Beautiful Handful

I met a woman one day,
Who changed my life forever.

She’s not what you might expect,
But is so amazing and precious to me.

I have to share how she did it,
And why I love her so very dear.

She told me point blank, I’m a handful!
So you’d better watch out Davy.

Did I know what was about to happen ?
That she’d give all of her love to me.

She has made me a better man,
Because of just who she is!

Yes, she is strong-willed, independent,
And so very outspoken.

She tells it like it is, honest,
And sometimes in your face.

There are no games to play,
She tells the truth and is here for me.

I guess that you would be surprised, when I say she’s my angel too.
She is just so giving, full of emotions, And wants only the best for me.

Yes, she makes mistakes that cause me
To step back and wonder.

Truthfully, she can get out of control, And be a bit hard to handle.
But, that’s is all part of my beautiful handful, And why she’s just everything to me.

My oh my, I want it all with you,
Living a life full of challenges and dreams come true.

Babe, thanks for choosing me to love,
And demanding only the best for me and you.


A poem written for my true love and wife-to be Nicole Lynn
as we live a life of wonder forever and ever

Poetry - Feeling Me Closer



Feeling Me Closer

I was walking along a road one day,
A dense mist appeared, surrounding me,
Why do we fail to see, or even believe ?

Things sometimes don’t make much sense,
Can we continue with our hearts being so cold ?
Stop now and find the light that is really inside.

You have been driving me crazy not knowing,
Hey, come here, listen and feel me closer,
Yes, I know that our time is finally at hand.

Too many people are playing us for a fool,
Trying to take the wind from our souls,
Just say no! And find that person true.

Once in a blue moon, it really happens,
Opening your heart to take me inside,
Feeling me closer, loving only you!

Hey Nicole, I had to stop by for a moment
And tell you something that’s pretty cool

“My precious wild flower, Nicole Lynn,
I love you in so many wonderful ways,
All because you decided to take a chance,
So that we can sing and dance together.
