Writing Word Pictures
writing word pictures
poems that inspire
hopefully setting your mind and heart on fire
turning a blank page
into words that create feelings
that touches your heart
is the same as an artist
that looks at a blank canvas before he or she begins to paint
poetry can take you
into a dimension of your mind
filled with pleasure and thought
read a poem a day
that keeps your stress away

Worst President in American History
I Am Your President and King for Life
I play golf as much as I can
while still thinking of my fellow man
I haven’t figured out the economy
because it puzzles me
still no recovery with the things I’ve done
oh well what the hell
as long as you can see my good intentions and I tried
that is what is most important to me
I’ve been accused of telling lies
how you figured me out that is a surprise
a lot of promises I make don’t come true
I count on ABC, CBS & NBC to protect and cover my ass
and help me fool all of you
my enemies claim that I and my administration
are corrupt with scandals through and through
I challenge any of you to prove your wild allegations if you can good luck
millions of people are out of work
Republicans keep saying I’m a jerk
too many people were working anyway
now they have more time to play
thanks to me and my socialist policy
I’m not a Christian but I do pray to my god Allah every day
America’s been the leader of the free world for too long
it’s time we sing a different song
leading from behind is the song I sing
taking America down a notch or two is my thing
that is what I believe I need to do
our military is too strong I believe that is wrong
that’s why I apologize every chance I get
for America’s atrocities as I see fit
when I Barack Hussein Obama was elected president
I was very very much surprised
because I never ever did anything to pay my dues
I was so unqualified I still don’t understand
how I was able to fool all of you
some of my constituents say I’m a narcissist
that is true now I salute all of you with my middle finger
all of my perks are great and my life style to
playing golf and basketball is what I love to do
while the world's troubles are in chaos boohoo
flying around in a great big plane
and living in a big mansion that’s insane my wife still loves to complain
and all the millions of dollars I am able to
hide away for a rainy day
all the people around me tell me every day how great I am
playing at President is the job for me
you may now get on your knee to worship me
I believe I have become a King you may also kiss my Muslim ring
those of you who disagree with me and decide to take a pass
then all of you can kiss my black ass

successful man born alone
Born Alone Naturally
I am a man born alone
prepared to die alone
in between I will be responsible to me alone
for what I do or who I become
or what I leave behind when my life is done
my intentions will never be to bring about harm or misery
but I do intend to face my life and human strife successfully
there may come a time when I’m knocked down
and lay upon the cold and hardened ground
but I will never cast a stone at those who were in my way
only to get back up and start again
in the morning of a brand new day
if I fail that is my choice
not to listen to your voice
if I succeed that is my choice as well
you’ll never find me cursing or blaming
anyone else that they made my hell
to blame only brings shame in life’s eternal game
when I look into the mirror and face my face alone
I feel the pride inside that I have never cast a stone
we are all self- made
but only those who do succeed accept this truth of life
and are willing and able to fight for the right
to stand proud and stand alone
before we are buried and lay alone under a stone

boy imagining his future life where the sidewalk ends
Where the Sidewalk Ends
today I think that I’ll take a nice long walk
to where the sidewalk ends
and look to see and imagine what adventures
in my life may await me
when I grow up and become a man and move away
to where I don’t know
but today I will have to stop where the sidewalk ends
wondering what is out there in the world for me to see
I can only imagine what adventures await me
will I go on to school or maybe a college somewhere far away
perhaps the military is what I will do
and see the world beyond where the sidewalk ends
or is marriage in my future and then become a dad
will I marry a girl as beautiful as Janet Light that would be nice
or will a single life be my choice not to be married at all
and live my life alone and travel from sea to shining sea
but today I’ll just stand and stare out there
from where the sidewalk ends and then I’ll walk back home
I think I can hear my mother calling me
perhaps tomorrow I will return here to where the sidewalk ends
and wonder again what is out there waiting me

Things I Know I'll Never Do
Things I Know I'll Never Do
I’ll never ride the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby
I’ll never throw a winning touchdown in the Super Bowl
I’ll never swim the fastest race
but I’ll always love you
I’ll never win a boxing match
I’ll never dunk a basketball to win the game and my fame
I’ll never run the fastest mile
but I’ll always love you
I’ll never be a great baseball player
I’ll never score the winning goal
I’ll never ski a downhill race
but I’ll always love you
even though those things I’ll never do
I’ll always love you
I have achieved so much more in my life
no one else can say you are their loving wife
I am the winner of my life

Hawaiian Sunset
Hawaiian Sunset
I'm standing beside an old wind bent palm tree
with coconuts laying all around me
looking out over the gentle blue green sea
feeling the warm trade winds upon my face
white billowing clouds seem to be suspended
by silver threads in the evening sky
and the sky is painted by firelight
I know in this moment of time
God created the universe perfectly as it should be
and if you find me here alone
know that I am not lonely

Last Hour of the Christ on the Cross
The Last Hour of the Christ
I wear the crown of hatred
misunderstanding and despair upon my hair
upon my back a wooden cross I bare
I know not why I’m hated so
all the people seemed to love me just a week ago
my skin is cut from head to toe
from whips of leather by men who wish to see me die
I spoke the truth for all the people to understand
my words of truth were words to set man free
from degradation hate and hell to live in harmony
for the rest of history
I cured the sick and healed the blind
with the touch of my own hand
I have walked on water and walked on sand
to preach and bring my truth throughout the land
people came from all around
and would sit for hours upon the ground
I once had twelve good men who followed me around
now there’s only eleven one man let me down
my words have been mistaken
my God he has forsaken
for that my life they’re taken
I believe that I have failed
as my hands and feet are nailed upon this wooden cross
as they raise me in the air
all their sins I know I must bare
I want to scream not fair not fair
father forgive them for they know not what they do
I’m just a young man I only wanted to teach
there are so many more people that I wanted to reach
my age is only thirty- three
I pray my God
that they the people will remember me
This poem took all of 17 minutes for me to write it came to me so fast as though Jesus was
dictating this poem to me.

Thoughtless Act to drink and drive
Thoughtless Act
I lay in my hospital bed
knowing in a day or two I’ll be dead
because that’s what the doctor said
my body crushed from toe to head
in the auto accident the other day
you see I drank too many drinks
before I drove home
now I lay here all alone
thinking of the life
that I’ll never live
and the love to my wife
and children I’ll never give
I’m still a young man only 33
I had so much life ahead of me
now never to walk in the park again
never to talk and have fun with my friends again
my work was just taking shape
and all the money I’ll never spend
now that my life has come to a sudden end
how will my family survive
I won’t be here to see my children grow
or ever hear them say again
daddy I love you so
all because of my thoughtless act
to drink and drive
the doctors told me about an hour ago
you also killed a lady in the accident
if I meet her on the other side what will I say
I’m sorry that when we met you died
and left behind a husband and a child
who also needed you so I don’t know
the very thought of my thoughtless act
is killing me as well
I know my destiny is hell
as death stands patiently at the foot of my bed
to take me away the moment I’m dead
my name is not to be known
because my name could be your own
I have only one thought to leave
before I die
for God’s sake and the ones you leave behind
please don’t drink and drive
by Dennis Davis 1978
This poem was written by me although I received it in my mind by the person that this
terrible accident happened to a number of years ago. I checked the newspapers the next day
and this terrible accident was in the paper. My hope is that this poem will dissuade people from drinking and driving.

American Veterans are our American Heros
AMERICA’S VETERANS
God Bless the man
who made the stand
to keep America free
from the beginning of
America’s history
for over 200 years
our men and women have
stood in harms way
who believed in America
to keep her free
honor and sacrifice are
just two of the qualities
that reside in the hearts
and minds of our heroes
who ask nothing in return
for themselves
only to serve, protect and defend
the greatest country in history
where freedom rings through out the land
today is May 31, 2010
we honor all that men and women have done
and all the battles they have won
how many lives have been cut short
and buried in graves throughout the world
knowing that they would never return
to share in the freedoms they fought for
so I say again God bless the man and woman
who have served
that are alive or passed into history
God damn the liberal left anti-American traitors in America
who sit their ass hiding in the tall grass
and have no intentions to ever serve

I've been Waiting All Week for Saturday Night to Dance at the club
I've been waiting all week for Saturday night
I’ve been waiting all week for Saturday night
to start my drinking, dancing, and loving the night away
I'm searching for a woman to hold me tight
I’m going to drink a drink or two
perhaps a lot more before I’m through
I’m searching for some bad company on Saturday night
will that be with you at the country two-step bar and grill
on Saturday night I’m going to get me some
on Saturday night I’m going to kiss me one
on Saturday night I’m going to get my loving
and drink and dance the night away
I’ve been waiting all week for Saturday night
to start my drinking, dancing, and loving the night away
I'm searching for a woman to hold me tight
I love my single life I’m not searching for another wife
to complicate my life
I’m searching for a loving woman to hold me tight
until the Sunday morning sun comes shining through
will that be with you
I’ve been waiting all week for Saturday night
I’m searching for a loving woman to hold me tight
throughout the darkness of the night
will that be with you
I’ve been waiting all week for Saturday night
to start my drinking, dancing and loving the night away
I'm searching for a loving woman to hold me tight
I love that loving feeling I promise you, you will too
will that be with you, or you, or you

ex wife Buried in my Mind
Buried in my Mind
when she left and said good by I felt apart of me wither an die
it hurt beyond any feelings I have ever known
she took away everything that ever meant anything to me
my love my children my dignity
so I had to do what I thought was best
I buried her in the darkest corner of my mind
a place where the sun will never shine
I took the spade and dug the hole where she's now laid
where the wind blows cold and it always rains
in the darkest corner of my mind
I laid her there in her place of eternal rest
I had to do what I thought was best for me and my sanity

A Messenger From Hell in my Home
A Messenger From Hell
I am sitting in my light brown leather reclining chair
after a strenuous day at my office
glad to be home no more stress no wife
just my dog Bandit at my side
I'm holding in my right hand my favorite relaxing drink
a single malt scotch on cracked ice with a twist of lemon
as I was about to close my eyes just a little past seven
counting the blessings in my life from heaven
then out of the unexpected blue everything changed
never I mean never to be the same again
or maybe I was just going insane
out of the corner of my right eye
what I saw oh God what I saw
was something that really scared the hell out of me
as the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up
and my flesh turned cold
a man dressed all in black and red
with a haunting evil look in his coal black eyes
I believed he was from the dead
stepped right through a solid wall made of brick and stone
and stood there looking around the room
then looked right through me as though I wasn't there
my dog bandit backed up in fright
and hid behind the chair making noises
like I never heard him make before
as my goose bumbled flesh turned cold as ice
I sat paralyzed could not move
in my light brown leather reclining chair
then he smiled a shark like pointed toothy grin
as he placed his gaze my way
and pointed a long gray bony finger right at me
the only sound that I could hear
was the beating of my own heart
as though it was going to explode my chest apart
then he spoke in a low evil raspy voice
and said I'll be awaiting you on the other side
then he turned to leave the room
the way he entered
by stepping right through a solid wall made of brick and stone
now I sit here all alone
wondering and shaking what the hell just happened to me
is there something in my life that I must change
in my life do I have to rearrange
I do not want to meet that messenger from hell on the other side
this is not a tale I tell you may think I'm crazy as hell
but I believe in what I saw I was visited by a messenger from hell
if there is a lesson to be learned from my story
look into your life and change what will make it right
to travel into the light to heaven not hell when your time ends upon this earth

God so Loved America
life was never intended to be easy
without turmoil, heartache, trouble or pain
those who appear to be successful and happy
have walked through their own valley of darkness
those who have given their lives and limbs that we can be free
are special men and women in our hearts, our minds our souls for all of history
Americans who have never served and never intend to
owe so much more to those who have
all patriot honorable Americans shed a tear
when teachers professors and students
desecrate our flag and are fallen heroes
that act alone makes our Statue of Liberty weep
the thousands of white crosses spread across the seas
marking the graves of the brave men and women who gave their lives
are our American heroes we love so dear
God has a special place in Heaven
for our service men and women who have died
and never coming home again
the thunder of battles past do not last
we live in America the home of the brave the greatest country in history
God so loved America he made soldiers to keep us free

the thunder of battles past do not last
we live in America the home of the brave the greatest country in history
God so loved America he made soldiers to keep us free

Life is oh so Short
(a short story of my life)
In the beginning when I was just a boy and the buffalo ran wild I remember when adults would say I remember back ten years and I would think, heck I’m not even ten years old yet. I would ask my mother what were some of the inventions you remembered growing up that changed the world. She told me about the telephone and a number of other inventions she experienced. Today I have lived through hundreds of inventions that changed the world far beyond what any reasonable person could have ever considered possible in my 76 years since I was born. A lot of living I have done so many things I have seen and experienced since I stood at the end of the side walk and thought about my life’s future when I was just a little boy. Now I am a great grandpa of four beautiful great grandchildren, the grandpa of six grandchildren and the father of two beautiful, wonderful daughters.
As I look back and say to myself how in the hell has time passed away so quickly. It only feels like a year or so since I began living my life upon this earth for what it’s worth. So much time has passed away so quickly beneath my feet as I have walked the road of life through all my troubles and joys in my life. A number of friends of mine have passed away so sad for me to say and sad to even think about it I scream and shout. But we all know and realize death waits for us all, sooner or later.
I thank God each and every day for my health I know I am blessed to be so healthy, no problems what so ever as I also workout around 11 hours each week. How fortunate I was when the music of rock and roll was first heard in 1956. I was 16 years old, perfect timing. I have sung and danced to so many great and wonderful songs what a perfect time to be alive, right in the beginning of it all, it truly was happy days. A hamburger only cost 25 cents, fries were only 15 cents, and a malted milk was 25 cents a movie only cost 25 cents. I served my time in the Navy had a great time, no wars were taking place. I saw the world going around the Horn of South America I also stood at the feet of Jesus the Redeemer statue on a mountain top in Rio, Brazil.
I married in 1962 the biggest mistake of my entire life the marriage ended in 1973 I was now free to be me and never married again. But I have had my share of girlfriends and love affairs throughout the years but liked my bachelorhood too much too ever marry a next ex. I developed a thriving business out of my garage in 1983 creating a product no one ever thought could ever be made in the flooring industry. If you like check it out by going to google and put into the search engine Sealflex Ind. Inc. all the information is still there. The business lasted for 26 years with my corporate office in Costa Mesa, Ca. and manufacturing plant in Dallas, Texas along with a dozen employees. The business lasted for 26 years until the downturn of 2008 when so many businesses in the construction industry went south, stuff happens.
I had to move to Northern Calif. where the cost of living was better for me without hardly any income to speak of. When you’re busted, broke and down and out and feeling depressed you must find your way all over again never giving up. I used to live in Huntington Harbor, Ca. in the ocean harbor I had a wonderful boat with all the trimmings life was so good back then now that great life is just a memory for me. When your business is lost, no income you must do what you must do in order to survive and stay alive. Never in a million years did I ever think I would ever write a book let alone 12 eBooks that are published on Amazon Kindle and my website www.enjoyanebook.com all science fiction and ghost stories I started writing books in 2009 using my pen name of Darren James. I have also written 3 complete books of over 350 pages each they are also science fiction soon to be published by a major book publishing house. Although I have been writing my poetry since 1976 with well over 1,500 poems published and a number of my poems in hard back books over the years.
Life is good but oh so short, so many things on my bucket list I intend to accomplish sooner rather than later. I love to travel and have enjoyed going to Thailand three times so far and want to return, possibly living there months of the year.
This is my story so far with many other adventures to accomplish.
