Breaking and bending the rules of life I go, living in a limbo that feels better than life itself. While the world falls apart around me I only get better with time. I have allowed myself to believe that I am not alone, the Lord walks with me down each road I travel, when I fall down, he picks me up, when I jump for joy, he throws me higher. In such an uncertain world I am truly blessed and thankful.

For a Dear Friend

"If I get a piece of me every day, everybody else gets the best of me."

Angie Broussard-Jones © 2009


In this life we meet people to whom we simply cannot live without. Dear friends that are there for us whenever we need them. I have one of these and I wanted to publish her quote on my blog. She has helped me through many troubling times in my life. We were separated for many years however we are back together again and she means so much to me. A wonderful woman she truly is and her family is blessed to have her as a Wife and a Mother. The people to whom she comes into contact with are blessed to have even been spoken too by her.

What we all really want.

Love….

I would die for you
Take your sickness and bleed for you,
Suffering every waking moment,

Just so you don't have too...

Love…

With eyes that say I will be there with you until the end,
A smile that says I will love you with every fiber of my soul;

Love is what we all want.

Even Angels Burn

Angels among us die as we lye under the grey sky
Sinking in the quicksand of what is life
We drink from the fountain of love only to find it bitter with rage,
So we set ourselves on fire and smolder in the depths of hell that we call our hearts.

Until then

for into the night i will go
sleep now and dream in glow
in the light of your smile
the kiss in your lips
the touch of your skin
for i, beautiful, in you i do yearn

good night my love
till the morning we shall speak
my heart is yours
till the heavens they do peak

in my soul you do reside
i pray each day
forever to be by your side

i love you

i go for now
with me your love i take
only to wake one day closer
for that day will come soon
when you and i become one

"If we are to share in this life the love for each other that we have, we must learn to open our ears and our minds and not only our mouths". ~Christopher Chapman 2009

"Stay the course and you will succeed, and if you should fall get back up and keep going. For you see, we are all one people and if we do not stick together and stand for what is right in the world, we will all fail and the world as we know it will falter and we will all fail to exist as we once did." ~ Christopher Chapman 2009

Love from above

for tonight i tell a tale
of a love that swells
you walked into my life
with constant strife
for you love without open arms
your heart i do yearn

i will work to earn your trust
we should be together, that is a must
your eyes deep with hurt
i will not only flirt
my heart sees only you
your soul is open to my view
i love this woman of mine
you are my only kind

you are afraid now
but rest assured my love
for this love comes from above
i traveled this earth
true love i have searched

once i did not believe
so i prayed to see
that he would give me sight
to see you with delight

you came to me once
i hurt you so
you are not aware
my true love is there
oh, beautiful lady of mine
will you not cry
for you see i am here

to love and to hold
till that day due us fold
death shall be the end
for you and i my friend
no sooner shall i leave
for i have seen
true love in my soul

i am your lover, friend, confidant
my fair lady of the south
my kiss fits perfectly into your mouth
in your arms i am at home
with you always i do belong

By The Sea

I will sit and ponder on a life by the sea
Oh how wonderful that would be
Walking to my bar
Drinking rum from steel drums

Oh how wonderful that would be

The salty air stings my skin
Strolling through life
With my beautiful wife
Friends together
Lovers forever

Oh how wonderful that would be

Never to leave that humble place
Until I turn grey and finally disappear
Oh how wonderful that would be

To live life by the sea

She walks through my mind, glass imbedded into her feet, her love cut from my soul, distance the problem, inept ability to stay stable, the reason.

Christopher Chapman 2009

"The unbelievable serenity one gets when another falls flat on his face and leaves the woman to ponder on the inept ability and the foulness of the opposite sex."

to be some day

As a poet, a captain
I will roam the sea,
From the bow of my boat I will stand,
My lover she is grand.
To sail the oceans again
To live as I once did,
A gypsy upon the the sea.
Spending my remittance in ports of call
Laying with the natives of foreign lands,
Learning what they believe.
Underway at dawn
To bed with a yawn
I will go to dream
About my life upon the sea.

free spirit

Is it so wrong to allow a little freethinking into our lives? So many people refuse to see the world for what it really is. They see it as hate and crime everywhere. They live in constant fear of the unknown. They have to know what is coming next. Why can't people see the good in the world? However, they choose to complain, to release negativity constantly and always say I cannot. Set in their ways, okay I can understand that. However, I believe it to be a cop out because they know that they just might not have anything to say anymore when happiness does come about. Look at me; I lost a lot of my passion for writing when I came out of my depression. I am happy knowing that we are all one people, God’s people. However I don't understand why so many will not let a free spirit come into their life. Everyday misery comes into our lives, let it pass you by and be happy. What will we become of us if freethinking and traditional thinking do not find a happy medium? Allow a free spirit into your life and love them for who they are.

"Life is too damn short to work and save for retirement, so work and live your retirement today, because tomorrow may be only a grave away."

All Together

Go you therefore in to the night without spite or neglect
Say hello to your friend or he will forget
Love to whom we often never see
But the homeless person standing next to me
Why must there be colors that keep us apart
Prejudice shown and hate spilt
We are human one being in one
No colors should be seen just the love for another within
Poets, musicians and all writers alike, yes we unite
We sit here amongst each other
I see only you, you and you
The big and wonderful RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Yet that still does not pull us together
It is true, it is true

My Angel

Sinking into my soul
The love she would give me
She said yes when I asked her if she would,
My sweet angel stayed for a while
Her skin bathing in the moonlight

She is far away now
I need a phone call
I need to hear her voice
Taste her words
A raven beauty
The angel that haunts my soul

Her eyes black as a moonless night
Hands given from the Gods
Calm my wounded heart
The red taken from her
The blood drained
Sculpting a body of porcelain
All alone, we lay intertwined

The movements of her hips
The softness of her lips
The love in her heart

I miss my angel

"I have spent years running from my past wanting only to confront it and now that it is catching up with me, I find myself pressing the delete button more than I should and I don't know why."

Christopher Chapman 2009 ©

It hurts to care I know now

The gates to my soul are full of low
The people I am finding are all ago
Running from me as if I have the plague
I am to blame
I can see the flames
They grow and they grow
Casting the shame
That fills my heart
I do not know where to start
I have tried to befriend
Tried time and time again
Yet it brings me full circle
Still no one to talk to
No one that stays
Just me, myself and I
Are all that remains?
