pressed down 
knees hit the floor board 
melt into the cracks
laughing manically like a crack

I don't even know anymore

I just... pressed, pressed, pressed 
pressed down

Contemplating the pros and cons

of being a pro. con man
I can't confess to my wife how I provide
she will probably tell me "con, done with it!'
cuz she doesn't condone it!
but I love my job - I'm a con gaining
so much money that one safe house can't contain it!
This is such a contrast to when I was constantly working
as a construction man. Building other people's mansions
while I lived ...

Aiming for nothing but net,
that is, a net worth of one billion George Washington
Dollar bills paying off these utility bills and moving up to Beverly Hills

Aiming to satisfy my lust and greed, but yet 
I feel this birth curse called sin, weighing me down like a ton
a ton of bricks falling back to back on my back - dying of cheap thrills!

Aiming to turn this all around 
forget the rhyme...

Wedding bells chime, the ceremony is over 
Rice rises as we make haste down the aisle
been waiting for this day more than a little while 
the day that I am able to fully embrace my lover

bad company asked me what's the point in waiting?
while they were having sex, our love was in themaking 
an intercourse of the mind and soul as we Christian mingled

What is there to gain

Not in it for the fame,

Te amo tanto que me duele 
You didn't get that, did you? 
But can't you see it in my face 
a love that aches my very soul 

Like Mars, ' I'll catch a grenade for ya!'
but you must be Venus...do you not see
it is my will I am stuck in love? 

'Te amo tanto que me duele!'
You gaze into my pupils and 
seem oblivious to my amor 
God free me from this dolor!

I could probably break his hand 
or end it all -slaughter the man
if I had a chainsaw, 
I could cut them to pieces in their sleep
starting with my sister snoring in my bed 

then bring the broom 
try to sweep away the evidence 
take out the trash
feed the dog and cats raw meat

but then you can plead insanity'

All I ever wanted was to be me 
All you ever wanted was me to be 
a mirror of your 'pristine' image 

Of course, I aimed to please 
I was your dog on chain 
with no hope for release
but that was bound to change 

My dear, pigs don't fly 
and hell will never freeze over 
but just like that Frozen song - 
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!

wish I went
because after I've spent
so many time writing a piece
the reviewer tells me that I misused 
an apostrophe. Forgot a comma and a letter

I'm a green writer - I can do better.
Roll on and maturity is what I need 

''If you live for their acceptance, 
you'll die from their rejection.''

When we were wanderers
a house was what we wished for -
rooftop to cover us from the cold and heat,
walls to block the preying people. 
Back then we were praying people.
Pathetic paupers? Perhaps, but 
as wanderers we were at home in the Lord,
Our Rock and Refuge, singing happily,' Hallelujah!'

You the best (for now)
but don't get conceited 
quickest way to get dethroned
is to condescend the shoulders you stand on

No man is an island 
Shawdy, act high and mighty 
and you'll end up in no man's island 

Humble yourself
or you'll get humiliated 
worse yet - you might get annihilated

My dad is Chinese 
but I'm white.
No wonder the westerners love me
in fact everyone loves me
but still everyone distrusts me
maybe, it's because I never speak my mind
I don't speak a word
not until I'm pressed to do so
and then all I'm doing is agreeing with the man

The man has used me to advocate truth and lies
I've sentenced guilty and innocent alike to death

snow, fades as it melts

will not drown in muddy brown waters

I don't get it. I don't get it 
but what is there to get?
brainwashed snow white 
Sprinkled with truth but 
it's all lies. They all die 
perishing for lack of...
ellipsis but nothing is 
omitted. they shut the 
truth into the closet and 
spread that blah blah blah 
fake news - nothing new
same ol', same ol' cliche

My courage in the middle of nowhere 
she came into my life like a grenade
I reeled back to familiar territory 
and stepped on a land-mine

Blown away! We both were and then we weren't...just 
a myriad of incandescent stardust undulating like waves
in a sea of oblivion...a sea that conquered the byzantine 
walls I erected to safeguard...? (NOTHING, nada, zip, zero)

HA!...Hahahahaha!...

MC Hammer and us three are called in
we sing woefully, " U can't touch this" 
but we are still ignorantly forced to 
firmly pin him down,hold him up 
his warm blood covers us three 
and it is revealed to us right there
that this man is also three in one 
the son in the Holy Trinity 
painfully crucified by us three 
we cry, ' forgive us Christ Jesus   
us three, knew not what we did

When I said I do
I really meant I don't,
I don't ever want to leave your side

When I said I will love and protect you
I really meant by God's grace I won't ever harm or neglect you

When I said you are my one and only
I really meant you and I are twain become one and only

now we can lie together in truth - undefiled

Broken people.
Broken homes.
Broken souls.
Who can make them whole?
Not him who stands loftily as a steeple
but him who died on the rugged cross
died to save the lost
Christ Jesus, the son of God
and so cries Jesus, ' turn to God!'
and he will turn all your ashes into beauty 
and this I can say truthfully 
because my life is a testimony of his grace

To God be the praise

God's love is unconditional 
but he shut up the seas behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb
and set its doors and bars in place
when he said, " This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt. 

So I won't let you drown me
as your tears fill the dead living room
I proceed to leave.

Afloat a ship, amiss in a misty sea
In the still air, still here, praying for a strong gale

Weary souls, rue the day we set sail

Oh how robust we were! Now our frame is so frail
Not all of were religious, but all of us are on one knee
