I Must Move On

This is a poem from the book ''Love Poems: Are You The One?''

I Must Move On

The words you speak
It means nothing to me
Because they’re just words
There’s no action

I’m at a point that I want us to end
I love you so much and it will heartbreaking
I can’t continue living through this pain
I don’t want my love to turn into hate

You’ve disrespected me for way too long
I let it got out of hand
I was too busy working every single day
I worked hard while you only played

You've become a burden
Even a blind man can see
You feel entitled
What makes you think you should be?

Love doesn't entitle you to treat me any kind of way
You've taken advantage of me being easy going
I don’t like confrontation, I rather us speak what we have to say
All the yelling that you’re doing, is not my kind of game

I’m getting to the point where I don’t want to be here
I avoid coming home because I know an argument is near
I hate splitting up and I don’t want this to end
But unfortunately I have to listen to my spirit

I know this is going to hurt both you and me
My heart will ache for an eternity
But I have to stop this cycle of what we’re going through
My love, we must end, it’s time for me to make that move

On Aug 11th, it all began

My journey in this world began on this day in the past.  Today is my birthday and I've already received phone calls, emails and social media postings.  Thank you to everyone who is taking the time out of the day to do these things.  I am appreciative.

I give a special thank you to my mother.  When I was born, she almost died giving birth to me.  She was hospitalized for weeks.  I can't imagine my life without her and I love her so much.  That's my reflective moment today.

Thinking about this year, so far has been a very amazing year, and I have accomplished some goals that I've set out to accomplish.  Looking back and reflecting, the best birthday gift is the gift of life.  Knowing that another year has passed and I can truly say that I'm at a good place in my life.  Now my wish is for others to have that same feeling about their own lives at some point.   It wasn't easy getting to this place.  If I took the time to talk about all the bad stuff, this posting would be pages long.  But that's nothing new, everyone has obstacles.  At the end of the day, it's all about how we handle and how we overcome.  So I will close this posting out with my tagline that I made years ago, that is my signature quote, ''Success comes from patience and persistence!!.''

Sincerely,

Steve Ryan

When We First Met

This is a poem from the book, ''Love Poems: Are You The One?  

16. When We First Met

When we first met
It was like magic
We fit so well together
We had a natural attraction

When I looked into your eyes
You reached out for my hand
That first kiss was a surprise
It ignited a new romance

When we first held each other
I didn’t want to let go
That moment was real and special
It wasn’t just a show

Anytime that we’re together
We make each other smile
That stays in my mind forever
I get excited like a child

When I hear your voice
I start to melt inside
It’s so smooth and sweet
It keeps me mesmerized

When I kiss your sexy lips
Mmmm is all I can say
We had this natural connection
Ever since that first day

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

You are more than just my mother.  You're my friend.

You've always been there, even when I anger you to no end.

I've tested your patience and sometimes I'm not always the best son.

But your forgiveness is unlimited, you embrace me with a hug.

I admire your strength and all the things that you do.

You're so fair, honest and kind.  I can count on you for some truth.

I realize all the things that you went through for me.

When I was kid, these were things that I couldn't see.

I have so much respect for you now that I understand.

The things that you went through to keep a roof over our head.

So Happy Birthday Mom, I honor you this day.

I love you and that's all I want to say.....

Christmas in the Bar

Have you ever spent Christmas in a bar?
Having drinks and listening to a guitar?
I went through this one time before.
I missed my flight and was stuck in Singapore.

There was a bar in the airport hotel.
I decided to spend part of my Christmas there.
Some people were drinking.
Others were doing karaoke singing.

It actually turned out to be fun.
There was gambling, someone yelled ‘’I won.’’
All of a sudden some guys walked in.
They had a look with a smirk and grin.

They were up to something, it was easy to tell.
And at that moment, peace in the bar fell.
A fight broke out, they struck with their hands.
Blood was coming out and chaos set in.

The police arrived and broke it all up.
As they questioned everyone, we all were stuck.
After that happened the bar went back to normal.
No one was nervous, they acted so informal.

Was this a regular scene in this particular bar?

This Christmas Day stands out by far.
