The scavenger

Glistening under the noon day sun,

He potters around aimlessly
His charm you just cannot miss, he is on top of his game
Sweeping you off your feet when he is at his best
A well toned body oiled with an excess of alcohol
Makes for good eye candy though not much else

Limited conversation for there's no substance in his brain
A great entertainer but the stories tend to get a bit stale
A cheat, a two timer a disrespectful male whore
You can have a bit of fun but nothing more

If you think he is a good friend, you better think again
He is good at what he does and convinces you he is the real thing
Women are so foolish they would betray their best mate
To play a few seconds in this losers game

He feeds on garbage at the bottom of the food chain
If you fill his stomach he will repay you well
His attention span is limited
The roving eye takes very short breaks
He is a trained hunter, he'll no sooner be back to his game

One true love

This feeling I have, its very real
You came into my life not a moment too soon
And now I'm on a constant high
The first day I met you, I was so confused
Afraid to even move, thinking I would lose you
It took a few weeks to get used to the thought, that you were real

I felt myself smiling each morning
There were butterflies inside me and a song in my heart
A few months down the road when I held you in my arms
My world just stopped
You looked so gorgeous, a miracle, a work of art
I couldn't stop the tears that fell on that february morning
I felt so blessed I couldn't stop staring
I just knew you were going to be, the love of my life

Many moons have passed, you are all grown up
But I still feel my heart go a flutter, when you are near
Your wit, your charm I can't get enough of
Your hugs and kisses are truly the best
I see you each morning and I thank God
For giving me his best gift
To have and to hold forever at last

My prayer for you as you turn seven
Is to be a good man someday
Don't forget your values and the people who love you
Remember life will be scary but for the most part a great journey
If you have your sense of humour it will be quite a good ride

My little man, my son I love you with all my heart
You came into my life and changed it from the very start
My little miracle my blessing from God
You will always be the light of my life.

Isn't it ironic, do you think?

You put me on cloud nine for quite a while
Nothing seemed to matter when I held your hand
No strings attached was a bad idea from the start
We had different views on what that meant
I craved for you but you took things to the extreme
Multi tasked, abused my trust, broke my heart and left me wounded
My world crashed around me, I could bearly speak
I called out to you but you were long gone

It took me awhile to get it together
My shattered heart finally healed
But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't hate you
You always remained close to my heart
A good friend and confidant
Years went by many miles between us
Our lives have changed our paths running parallel
Never to meet again at any crossroad

You are back in my space, I don't think you ever fully left
But your renewed interest comes a moment too late
My hearts closed up my mind is blank
No feelings left, just nightmares of a past I'd rather forget
Seeing you again brought back good memories, it also brought back the pain
No more drama I say. I can't do this again
You want me now but I don't feel the same
I don't think I ever will.
