Miracle of Life
Miracle of Life.
In a moment of passion on a hot summer’s night.
Here starts the wondrous journey of human life.
The passion builds to the point of no return.
A climatic explosion and the release of sperm.
Thousands of them pushing, shoving, swimming frantically.
A couple might make the journey, for the others death is their destiny.
The inevitable elimination of the...

I Want The Days Of Peace And Love
I want the days of peace and silence,
The days of kind and good looks.
The days of supportive reliance,
The Days Without War hooks.
I don't want to see the people's fears,
I don't want to speak about money.
In the world of bloody ideas
You won't hear the word "honey".
I just want to keep silent.
I don't expect the answer,
I want to live on a ...

Myself
I gave my all into this dhit
I put everything I had into this bitch
Just to get chewed up
Left dying,crying, lying in a ditch
Painful eyes from crying
Lonely nights, I was dying
For all the times, I was coming up and could only afford to feed you; and not myself
This for all the ones I left, even when u couldn’t let me be myself
I put myself on the shelf just so u co...

Fire-Breathing Dance Of Love
The beginning is timid,
Time has got no limit,
Magic movements are slow,
We dance the tango of love.
Bliss and passion reveal,
Dance of flight and dove.
Dance of hidden love.
And is not so vivid,
Then it turns into a wild
And grasping dance.
We go deep into...

Imagine
Why they have my back on the wall
When my heart was pure, I loved all yall
Imagine the one you loved, be the reason you fall
Imagine putting everybody weight on your shoulder
And they applaud when u fall
Imagine being so lonely and broken, with no one to call

size them up
had me my hand me downs
and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it
nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on
The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,
it’s silica content
Sunday 27th October 2024 6:11 pm
approach with caution
veered off, routine stop, in the shoulder…
looking over your paper work,
keep your hands on the steering wheel,
“I’m not going to ask again”
repeated offenses
respect my authority
police officers
a ford mustang and dodge charger
government funded electric vehicles
take a look inside the hood, it
purrs like a street cat with a scratchy throat
cut the lights on and off
I’m just try...

Love not Hate
Many a pint,
many a laugh,
many a smile,
and many the tears
over the months
and over the years.
Where now, though’s, love,
amongst these not-so-young lads,
and not-so-young girls?
Distant now,
perhaps a year ago?
the memory persists,
it’s vivid still,
the time yon mon,
distraught and close to tears,
burst through those welcoming
double doors,

Through Chestnut Eyes
It is incredible,
How so small of stares - often end up,
Giving the most enchanting moments to some souls.
The subtle strokes,
Made by those chestnut pupils,
A placid feeling in my heart it instills.
The sun gleamed on every one of these streaks,
Unravelling, the depth with which our eyes meet.
His eyes glittering more than the stars,
And glinted in the sun, like sh...

To Be Spoiled By Love Is Impossible
You are the most beloved one from the tale.
About you, I will write my favorite book.
I will overcome any sea storm and a gale,
I can stand any frightening look.
I don't need cool cars for my happiness,
I don't need the diamonds or fabulous coats.
All these expensive things bring loneliness.
They are only for weak and foolish goats.
A woman needs only love and att...

For When I Was Lost
For when I was lost
I gazed into you
Like the flame of a single candle
You lit up the darkness
Kept the beauty of light alive
But as I gazed too long
Your glow began to melt
And then the light went
Not in you, but me
Your soul within mine
The touch not of a burn
The glint not of a flame
But the sleek of a mirror
I can see in this d...

Angels Watching Over You
Angels Watching Over You
As you go to sleep.
In your hospital bed.
On the pile of pillows.
You rest your weary head.
I hope the angels.
Come out to play.
Make you better.
Take your illness away.
So, when you awake.
On another day.
Good health for you.
Will be here to stay.
So, my good wishes I do send.
And hope very soon.
You will be...

You’ll never know, how much

You’ll never know, how much
I need you
So come on home again
Please
Come on home again

blue eyed glacier
how many times did we justify a scar
because we love the person
holding the knife?
how many times did we equate
a deep cut with equally deep love?
how many times did we convince ourselves that if anyone was allowed to hurt us,
it should be them?

My turn

needs to be perfect

love-hate relationship
obsession …
— envy us
in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.
you’re setting yourself up for failure
possible optimism

my other, half
fully blurry vision
they’re prescription
usually she has to squint
and hadn’t felt the planets tilt till now

snapped twigs, and

I’ll take your coat

Rhetoric
attacking my integrity
questioning… me
myself,
I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question
second guessing…
why?
you were impolite.

There where the Love Settled Down No Need For the Words.
Offensive words flew with such speed
Sweeping away everything in their way.
Only tears and hurts could my heart feed.
I was like a rusty anchor in the sea-bay.
"We won't see each other"- I've heard.
These were his last the cruelest words.
I wanted to howl like a wolf in the forest.
At that time even the sun was the borest.
Those words like the knives cut...

Ballad of the Lovestruck Bricklayer
When I look at you, I see a future,
a place where our hearts meet, and
each day is a new chance to begin,
building dreams, brick by brick.
We start with the foundations of desire
and the plans for our love sketched in the stars...
Each word and each touch is a piece of a puzzle,
forming a home where love can blossom.
Life may be an unfinished building,
but with you, the construction n...

TO BE HIS
Imagine the feeling of love,
The feeling of belonging,
The feeling of a grand warmth,
That caresses with its tender strokes
The feeling of a fire that blazes so earnestly within
but is careful not to burn so deep
Lest it hurts the heart to which one belongs.
I hope to one day experience and not imagine,
A love with the man for whom I was crafted,
From whom a rib w...

SUPERPOWER
Growing up i watched a plethora of superheroes,
And i was in awe at all of them,
Wonderwoman with her whip,
Spiderman with his webs,
Superman with his flight,
Not to forget the ethereal mermaids.
With everyday that passed,
I hoped and anticipated,
Prayed, yearned and cried,
that, I too, might be blessed with a superpower-
Something that would make me unique

how to run away
I don't have the vocabulary to describe it
because there are no words in any language
that would do it justice
"hopefully we have a very long time before that happens"
it hit me.
im very likely going to spend the last half of my life
on the outside of what i want,
looking in at what i deserve.
wondering if that will be me next.
will you be in someone elses eyes?
and how that perso...

Life
Life ain’t play fair
Prob be the reason why I can’t pay my fare
But somehow I still stayed loyal and fare
I always tried to get it my own,
Just so I could pay my fare
I’m down 20 to 30 in the middle of nowhere
My heart ache
The pain I just wish I could shake
I wish me and my bm
Could just relate

Don’t think I’m gonna be a bad parent

Emotions Unveiled
In the fair of emotions, I lose my way
Among fruits and laughter, a mystery at play
Your eyes, like ripe avocados, invite me to peel
To take a chance, to discover what’s real
I want to know what love is
If it’s samba on sidewalks or a sorrowful fizz
Is it dancing in rain or a dream that won’t last?
A wish for the future, a tie to the past?
The clock ticks away, but my heart skips a bea...

Lady of the Night (Out of Need)
Lady of the Night. ( Out of need)
It's 4:00 in the morning and it's pouring down again.
The rain is lashing against my misty window panes.
I can see halfway down the road under the streetlight.
There stands Mary, one of the ladies of the night.
Five nights a week Mary will be there, come rain or shine.
Just trying to survive not really committing any crime.
Mary has ...

The Partings Always Break My Heart.
The autumn sky began to sound like rain again
The drops of the rain will water the ground.
My thoughts and desires for sure will remain.
Perhaps romance nowadays was found.
I don’t like partings and sad glances so much,
I don't like saying "farewell" as such.
I know it's not forever but I don't like to part.
The partings always break my heart.
If only we were allo...

The Moonlight in a Peaceful Corner
Have you seen the moon shining gently tonight?
Do you like the shadows it paints?
The moon shines upon me,
As my feet touch the earth in this peaceful corner
I can feel the softness of its light
I can see my shadow dancing with joy on the ground
The moonlight in this place
Creates a painting of happiness
Amidst the silence of life
I like this

You Can't Be Offended By Love
“You can't be offended by love
Whoever dreams about happiness
We are offended by indifference.”
(Lopez de Vega)
You can't be offended by love.
Love shouldn't hurt or punish.
Love should only give.
Love must help the grief vanish.
Love shouldn't bring pain,
Neither with evil nor with hell.
Love must forgive and remain
As a gift for the soul and bell.

Reality of Love
The love we thought we had to give
Is an entirely different meaning of love we have now
We came together as broken pieces
Mending each other together separately
While shielding our love from our own prejudice views
Individuals don’t have the strength to penetrate through
Though we came close to letting our shield fall
Quickly grabbing ahold because our hands loosened slig...

When That Little Boy Is in His Solitude
The little boy has cloudy eyes, yet no tears ever fall.
The little boy often hides his voice behind a faint smile.
The little boy grew into an adventurer,
Singing along with the howling storm,
Fighting the thunder that echoed across the sky,
Confronting the sun that burned the horizon.
The little boy has bones of steel.
The little boy could be anything those...

Lobe u
I lobe u
You know this
The feeling is strong
Even if the spelling is wrong
My tiny stubby fingers
Take little time to linger
Over the disproportionate keys
Stubbing along with a head full of bees
You ask what I lobe best
As if I'm not up to the test
But my lengthy gaze tells you
It's me that sees you
Especially when the words arrive late
I lobe...

his arms are strong but I have eyes in my heart
I hope me leaving sparked something in him.
Something that shows him that
not every sacrifice made
in someone else's name
makes you noble.
that you can be selfish and still be a good person.
that staying where you know
you don't belong is
a crime against yourself.
that we have one life
and we should act accordingly.
and that I love him, still, so deeply.

Star-Crossed Hearts
She was poetry, a dance in the air
Moving lightly, like a verse floating there
Hair in the wind, unpretentious lines
Her smile illuminated cloudy times
He, a simple man, lived raw prose each day
With calloused hands, unaware of the way
Life in bold letters, beauty lost in the grind
Chapters predictable, meaning hard to find
At the craft fair, a sun shining bright
He watched from afar, not...
