OK, here it is, I'm just a man that lives and breathes
if you beat me I bruise and if you cut me I bleed
I'm just a man, nothing special, I try hard and still make mistakes
I've made my share of bad decisions, I'm sure most can relate
There is one day a year when evil makes all the rules
in the middle of the night there will be lots of ghost, goblins, and ghouls

OK, here it is, I'm just a man that lives and breathes
if you beat me I bruise and if you cut me I bleed
I'm just a man, nothing special, I try hard and still make mistakes
I've made my share of bad decisions, I'm sure most can relate
I'm just a man with dreams and hopes
trying to take life day by day, just trying to cope
I'm just a man with a beginning and an end
and just like anyone else, I could really use a friend
I'm just a man, when life goes wrong I will ask why
like most I try to be strong, but if you hurt me deeply, I will cry
I'm just a man that has feelings of triumph, failure and fear
I have feelings of disappointment and laughter and some feelings that bring tears
I'm just a man, I feel emotions from the songs we sang
I've felt happy and sad, I love and hate, and mostly I've felt pain
I'm just a man with wants and needs and plans
I pray that when it comes down to the things I believe in, I can take a stand
OK, here's the thing, I'm just a man, no superhero here to be found
I'm not going to save the world, I can't jump tall buildings in a single bound
I'm just a man, I don't want to rule the world or find treasures that are buried all around
I just want to find my place in this world and make a mark on this ground
I'm just a man searching for the promise land by trying to find the right door
I've done all the things expected of me, I even fought my war
I'm just a man, I can't find your cure or tell of things to come
I can't tell you who's right or wrong, only on which side I run
I'm just a man, I eat, sleep and drink
I take things head on, but if they come too fast, I blink
I'm just a man, if something smells bad, I say it stinks
if something is not working, I'll stop and think
I'm just a man that needs a soul for my soul
to be alone on life's journey too long will take its toll
I'm just a man, when I need help, I want someone that will hold my hand
I need a lover that will know who I am, because at the end of the day, I'm just a man
There is one day a year when evil makes all the rules
in the middle of the night there will be lots of ghost, goblins, and ghouls
On the last day of October the souls of the dead will rise, is what we believe
the souls of the dead will walk with the living on this All Hallows Eve
Beware on this night of the dead souls, the spirits can deceive
they are looking for souls to take back with them and it could be your soul they retrieve
With everyone dressed in disguise, the dead souls could be right in front of your eyes
keep an eye out because to let one of these creatures touch your soul really would be unwise
On this night there are witches that are cooking up a special brew
to cast their spells and make them work they may need a body part or two
They chant the words that make it real and sprinkle their secret ingredients into the stew
watch out if you see something out of the corner of your eye, it might be a witch coming for you
There will be creatures roaming about lost and alone looking for a home
beware if you see someone walking stiff and erect and you hear a strange moan
Watch out if you see someone in ragged clothes and skin that looks like stone
it could be a hungry Zombie looking for a meal of flesh, blood, and bone
There are Demons from the pits of hell that likes to eat brains, which are in a lost dimension
they were cast away with a spell by a wizard of his day and put in a worldly suspension
These demons that are pure evil and likes to do nothing but kill, were put in an unholy detention
on this day they can come back and prey on humans while looking for redemption
If there is a full moon out there will be fright, because werewolves stalk the night
be careful because they look like you and me until the full moon is in sight
The werewolf is roaming, searching for his prey to bite
all it takes is a scratch from his jagged teeth and you will join him in his blight
In the dark there are humans that have been around for ages that are cursed
they search all night long for blood to satisfy their eternal thirst
You cannot run if he smells your blood, he can change into a bat and come down from higher
he will gaze into your eyes, then bite you on the neck, this creature called a Vampire
So on this night if you're out in the street
beware of everything around you and keep an eye on those that you meet
If you're at home where you think it's safe and then you choose to leave
I hope you make it back all in one piece on this ALL HALLOWS EVE
I want to hold you in my arms while you sleep
I want to hold you while you creep into your dreams so deep
with you next to me everything feels so right
I want to hold you all through the night
I want to hold you 'till the moon stops shining through
I want to hold you 'till there is no morning dew
I want to hold you 'till the sun turns blue
I want to hold you 'till one and one is no longer two
I want to hold you 'till the mountains turn to hills
I want to hold you 'till time stands still
I want to hold you 'till hell gets cold
I want to hold you 'till the truth be told
I want to hold you whether you're wrong or right
I want to hold you whenever we fight
I want to hold you 'till the anger is gone
I want to hold you 'till you sing your song
I want to hold you when you're blue and sad
I want to hold you when things make you mad
I want to hold you whenever you cry
so I can dry your tears from your eyes
I want to hold you whether it's early or late
I want to hold you 'till the birds and bees no longer mate
I want to hold you and never be alone
I want to hold you 'till the swallows of Capistrano no longer come home
I want to hold you 'till the cock no longer crows
I want to hold you 'till the farmers no longer reap what they sew
I want to hold you 'till eternity is near
I want to hold you 'till there is no fear
I want to hold you 'till there's no stars in the sky
I want to hold you 'till the birds no longer fly
I want to hold you 'till there are no clouds up above
I want to hold you 'till you say you're in love

(Just sharing my poems) I have more poems in my blog
I want to hold you in my arms while you sleep
I want to hold you while you creep into your dreams so deep
with you next to me everything feels so right
I want to hold you all through the night
I want to hold you 'till the moon stops shining through
I want to hold you 'till there is no morning dew
I want to hold you 'till the sun turns blue
I want to hold you 'till one and one is no longer two
I want to hold you 'till the mountains turn to hills
I want to hold you 'till time stands still
I want to hold you 'till hell gets cold
I want to hold you 'till the truth be told
I want to hold you whether you're wrong or right
I want to hold you whenever we fight
I want to hold you 'till the anger is gone
I want to hold you 'till you sing your song
I want to hold you when you're blue and sad
I want to hold you when things make you mad
I want to hold you whenever you cry
so I can dry your tears from your eyes
I want to hold you whether it's early or late
I want to hold you 'till the birds and bees no longer mate
I want to hold you and never be alone
I want to hold you 'till the swallows of Capistrano no longer come home
I want to hold you 'till the cock no longer crows
I want to hold you 'till the farmers no longer reap what they sew
I want to hold you 'till eternity is near
I want to hold you 'till there is no fear
I want to hold you 'till there's no stars in the sky
I want to hold you 'till the birds no longer fly
I want to hold you 'till there are no clouds up above
I want to hold you 'till you say you're in love
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that walks beside me and holds my hand
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that says I'm your man
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that fixes my meals
YOU'RE THE ONE that shows me how good I can feel
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that's going to love me 'till the end
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that's going to ask me where I've been
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that wants to move in
YOU'RE THE ONE that makes me want to sin
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that says that she loves me
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that's going to set my soul free
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that's going to walk with me in the park
YOU'RE THE ONE that waits for me in the dark
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that wants to sit under a tree
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that everyone can see
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that wants to have my child
YOU'RE THE ONE that always drives me wild
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that will promise to be true
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that will ever make me blue
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that always wants to share
YOU'RE THE ONE that wants me to touch you there
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that wants to love me forever
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE where I have to be smart and clever
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that always has to be right
YOU'RE THE ONE that's there for me at night
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that wants for better or worse
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that will ride in my hearse
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that always has to be first
YOU'RE THE ONE that makes me feel like Iâm going to burst
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE whose heart I will steal
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that always has to have things real
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE that keeps me on the run
but I know, whenever I need a friend YOU'RE THE ONE
When I see you smile that sweet girlie smile
don't be angry if I stare at you awhile
when I see you on the street with all your female charms
don't be angry if I take you and hold you in my arms
If a day goes by without you near, your touch I will miss
don't be angry if when I see you, I steal a kiss
If you're walking next to me, looking oh so fine
don't be angry if I hold your hand like you are mine
If you're sad and have been crying all day
don't be angry if I wipe your tears away
If you are happy and things are very clear
don't be angry if I nibble on your ear
If the wind starts to blow and your hair begins to flow
don't be angry if I touch you just so
If I want to show you that I care
don't be angry if I run my fingers through your hair
If the moon makes a twinkle in your eye
don't be angry if I ask you to look up at the sky
If my touch makes a gentle sigh
don't be angry if I make a try
When I see you so innocent and sweet
don't be angry if I want you to keep
when it comes time for me to go home
don't be angry if I don't want to be alone
If we watch the sun set then watch it rise too
don't be angry for the things I might do
If all these things happen, if all these things come true
don't be angry if I say I love you

Death is something we try not to think about, but is there from the start
from the time we first open our eyes, we are on that road to depart
Some people live there lives and try to make a mark, and some just try to survive
no matter what you do, youâll never make it out alive
Death, it's the great equalizer of men
it doesn't matter how rich you are, who you know, or where you've been
when the angel of death knocks on your door
you can't hide and you can't ignore
Some people believe that death is a passing to a new life
that when you close your eyes for the last time, you just look for the light
there are those that think that there is no journey to start
that when you close your eyes for the last time, there is nothing but dark
The meaning of life is death
it's the one and only thing everyone will do from their first to their last breath
forget all the gray in-between
forget about taxes, learning, loving, forget about everything
You can't take anything with you and you donât really leave anything behind
the only thing that stays is the memory you leave in people's minds
but even memories will fade away into the past
because nothing last forever, and forever never last
Death really is the final frontier
No one knows what happens when moving from here to there
It's a mystery and that's a fact
no one's ever been all the way there and come all the way back
I hope there's someplace to go on this trip we all have to take
I prey that there is another side for our soul's sake
I'm sure that when it's my time it won't make a mark
I'm sure that when I close my eyes for the last time, all I will see is . . .
