Various Poems I Have Written
(They may sound different than you imagine
I read every poem I write to the recipient)
Sign-out "Lady C"
Cigarette Sign-out Lady C has a smile that is addictive and a voice like a choir.
She possesses a personality and strength I truly admire.
This morning at breakfast she was the first person in my
sight.
She took the chill from my morning and the and the emptiness from the dark last night.
Often times I find myself outside and not even wanting to smoke.
Instead I remain comforted by the moment shared though we shared only a joke.
If it was ethical and possible Sign out Lady C I would clone.
For the rest of my days I would be elated I would never feel alone.

Forever Your Heart Forever In Me
I saw you at the mall could tell you hurt but did not know why
We knew not each other yet I saw your true heart almost instantly I began to cry
Your life contains music used for distraction for scape goats perhaps to stifle your pain
I show you your life you view only the dark quickly you shut down and walk away my heart aches for you again
Every situation with you I hold hope of bringing you a smile
I remember that sweet feeling on my lips although it’s been quite while
I’m somewhat aware of how you felt as well as some of what you went through
My hope from this moment is a healthy happy life for eternity for you
After conversing and walking during late summer hours I thought never again I’d hear your voice
But no matter the distance from here to forever my hopes and prayers will remain you make only the right choice
Despite all of our interaction and opportunity amass friendship our hearts negated to see
My heart always wished and wondered that same heart you’ll find is forever yours forever in me

Listening To Me Once Inspired Me In Thrice
Writings articulated it is known I am opposed too sharing
But along came your ears you listened as well as seemed caring
Intently you listened I took comfort in your smile
Taking comfort in something so simple hasn’t happened in quite a while
Unbenounced to me I took comfort in you and wanted to share all I had written
But awkwardly I’ll say perhaps I was nervous and was afraid of being bitten
At this point during your reading I’ll use confession a distraction
I will honestly tell you with you I seek reasons for interaction
When it comes to writing I am typically self-inspired
Having said that I am astounded you set my inspiration on fire
I’m not sure if this is appropriate thus causing me concern
But I’ll always take delight in this and all that I have learned

Help With Getting Well
Walking with shame my pride at its lowest not looking or feeling close to well
I knew what I had to do kept putting it off I didn’t want to but finally came and rang the bell
I knew I had this problem so I figured out where I had to go
I was sure I would be received with open arms and compassion but to this extent I didn’t know
I walked through the doors met Sara the two of us spoke at great length
Never before has a pretty lady shown me I have or offered me such strength
Sara Calmed me sweetly had me take a nap and did all she could do
Although you were just doing your job for all you did including saving my life Sara I owe so much to you
Shortly thereafter I met “Lady” otherwise known as Gera Lyn
Not expressing thanks for what you’ve done for me including what you don’t know would be a sin
You encourage motivate inspire me and make my day better when I see your smile
After the moments spent before leaving if I am destined to meet someone as wonderful I know it is to take a long while
Your tolerance conversation enthusiasm and smile are typically things from which this coward once ran
However this time as a change in my life I draw strength from it strive to be and want to be a good man
Dawn I’ve adored you since we met as well as the time you made me burst into hysterical laughter A pretty lady flipping me off doesn’t typically have me doing this but I’m still adoring you and laughing many sober days after
Your personality and kindness far exceeded that of anyone anywhere that I would even hope for
I take delight in that as well as your beautiful qualities as it made it easy not to run for the door
I try very hard these days not to give up and run it’s not always easy so I thank God for people like Geri Lyn Sara and so many others including Dawn
I cannot say for sure but there is a thought that if it were not for you wonderful people I may have run and would be gone.

Thank You For The Smiles
*I owe you so much for my recent past filled with smiles
Paying you back will take Gratitude extended more than a million miles
*I've gone many sleepless night and pain filled days without even one touching my lips
That was before that warm day in 2011 when I found myself clutched in you auras grips
*Just the other day in front of the office you accused me of smiling
Quickly I pulled my hat down blushing and childishly said you were lying
*Showing a smile was new and perhaps out of my comfort zone
Your embrace this evening upon thanking you gave me warm feelings and a sense I wasn't alone
*It would be a lie to say constantly smiling doesn't give me fears
But I promise you now I'll always find time to smile for you throughout the rest of my years
*I'm taking your advice and shooting for the stars and one day will marry a lady just like you
Every chance I get I will offer her my heart and a smile in hopes she does as you taught me to
*I came here for help in my life in various parts
Never did I imagine you would help repair my cold black heart
*Thanking you for just the smiles is short changing you I want to thank you in whole
However thanking is not my forte but it's a must that I tell you that you've penetrated my soul
*I've been all but begged without exaggeration by hundreds I've known
For years til recently I refused now smiling happens often the thanks and gratitude is yours and the onus you own.

Thought About Each Other For Fifteen Years
We hadn't planned to meet she set out to meet my friend
They saw that they didn't click she and I were on an incredible walk as the evening came to an end
She was the friend she was the lover she was the one I sought to be complete
I learned of this as we conversed for hours walking in the late evening summer heat
We walked we talked we looked into each others eyes
I was confident I could be more than she received from the bandits in her past, all the other guys
We shared laughter secrets and details of our past
Even stopping many times walking slow and stalling the walk seemed to end too fast
A memory has been carried of the walk the talk and a quickly stolen kiss
The memory that haunted me as I sat in my cell analyzing everything I missed
I was haunted by the memory and realized the action I had to take
I found a way to get her address returned to my cell to write and prayed it wouldn't be a mistake
Nearly eight long days later the guards were delivering our mail
I saw the return address the excitement crippled me like a fresh crop pounded by hail
I was soon transferred to a jail in another town
Correspondence was quickly halted and upon my face sat a frown
I thought about her often kept her letters everywhere I went
I was sure she had forgotten me until fifteen years later to me a message she had sent
She kept it brief and asked if I remembered her
Heart pounding hands shaking I tried to be cool and keep it at sure
She reminds me of that evening and that the way I treated her was nice
I was only treating her accordingly and would do it again in thrice
She tells me how she thinks of me often and asks why I didn't seek her here
I assure her I think of her too and would have ran to find her had our thoughts of each other been clear
I'm sorry to her we lost time together because of jail and bad choice while drinking too many beers
I hope I can make up for it and let her know I was thinking about her too for the last fifteen years

Beauty, Where Did It Go Did I See It At All?
I searched and searched I saw beauty I thought
I extended a pure heart yet another lesson was taught
It could have been blindness ignorance or even deceit
No matter the cause my vision took notice it can never be beat
You could have been lying or I to myself
In any event the entire betrayal is a crime in itself
You project you posses this it eludes you for reasons unknown
I recall living the same way I remember being cold to the bone
For a brief moment in time I admit I was in fact deceived
Our paths now lead us on down roads I embark on mine a man relieved
Quite often I wonder if beauty is just sub-conscious hope
If future endeavors are to coincide I see my life a broken heart forever I mope
Jason H. McComb
Pain filled Painless Surrender (For The George Spady Center)
Words are immortal they can't be taken back
At times I wish they could removing knives from my back
Actions take place in memories they remain
Even many from my past still cause me great pain
Honesty is needed more-so required
Unfortunately the lack I receive is making me grow tired
You say you want this you express you want that
You're nowhere to be found and it's your turn at bat
Your actions have caused you pain for a number of years
There are people that care for you yet you turn a blind eye to their tears
You ponder your troubles and wonder when will they end
You know the support is available yet you still turn from your friends
You can be free of your troubles and pain that you render
Instead you take out of context the words never surrender

NJ My Friend
You show me love from a soft tender heart
You were quick to be there for me as my world fell apart
It's like you can sense me every time I feel down
You have a sweet way about you that erases my frown
Throughout our friendship we have had laughter and smiles
Your love for me I can feel even through hundreds of miles
Your beauty shines when you offer your heart
I know losing our friendship would tear me apart
You enter my thoughts many times during the day
Happiness good fortune and a good life for you I pray
Everyone should have such a great friend
I know that with you I will til the end

YOU NEED NOT FORGIVENESS
You are the greatest blessing God has ever given me
You removed the black from my heart now true love I can see
You brought me from the pits of hell and utter despair
You gave me life and showed me love the whole time I was there
Without experiencing your love I would still be cold and hollow
Every thought of you warmed my heart and promised me a brighter tomorrow
I was cold you gave me warmth I was starved you gave me food
When there was nothing around I closed my eyes and through the dark came you
I was tired cold hungry and in the dark I would cry
A quick phone call to you and you would run to me without asking why
One of my best memories is in your dining room where we stood and embraced
Not long after we sat by a fire and shining smiles were fixated upon our face
You provided me with more than anyone needs
You did this out of love not considering them deeds
I recall bad days when I had conflict with friends and family
You knew something was wrong I cried in your arms and you'd comfort me
You are the best thing to ever happen in my life
The only thing I would change is I would make you my wife
Lying beside you at night I knew I was where I belonged
The nights we were not together being without you I longed
Today your friendship is outstanding and filled with love
You are everything I have ever prayed for from God above
Without experiencing you my life I would detest
For some odd reason you feel the need to ask for forgiveness

Southern Kisses and Canadian Beer
You blew me a kiss, I bought you a beer
I tasted your lips, needing to have you here
We were together all night speaking on the phone
Once we hung up I went to my bed, feeling alone
I fought with the night, needing to catch some sleep
The memory of your kiss I will eternally keep
I love hearing your accent more than words can say
You are my sweetness you are always my NJ
We joke of deleting and laugh about the blocks
If it remained that way my heart would be locked
I nag you to get here I pester you to fly
you dwell in my heart that's the reason why
I listen to your laughs and picture you smile
I know boarding that plane will only be a while
Your plane will touch down, I will have you here
That day we will share southern kisses and Canadian beer

Goodbye My Pet
For two weeks I've been in Toronto watching the sky
I see hundreds of airplanes I watch them fly by
You boarded a plane not very long ago
Why I didn't stop you this fool will never know
I asked you the time that your plane would leave
You gave me no answer I wiped my eyes on my sleeve
The night you left I gazed up at the stars
Each plane that flew by leaving me with scars
I saw a plane go just after midnight
I stood and stared til it went out of my sight
It traveled swiftly in and out of the clouds
I knew it was yours I screamed aloud
There came a point where I couldn't speak
So I softly whispered I love you and wiped off my cheek
I sat and wondered where that plane would land
I looked down and longed for you holding my hand
Where you are now I sit and I wonder
Those thoughts in my head make a sound like thunder
No matter what happens I am blessed that we met
I will always cherish the woman I love the one I call my pet
Jason H. McComb
I Have Lyn in My Life
Sitting here empty I look and see a hole
nothing around me just my tainted soul
I ask myself what will I have in the end
I look in my soul and see my best friend
I search my soul deeper for beauty of doves
I found something sweeter I find you I find love
Terrified by this I prepare to run set out to hide
You squeeze my hand and whisper that boy has died
You take me in your arms you embrace me so tight
My soul is no longer dark I finally see light
You show me things a fool could never see
You show me love you show me me
