If I Don'T Make It Through the Night

Extreme pain and agony consumes me,
this state I'm in will soon ruin me;
though I want to live a long healthy life, 
I may not make it through the night.

The pressure constantly builds inside,
upon my face lies dried tears from my silent cries;
though I pray for things to be alright,
I may not make it through the night.

They say surgery is the answer,
or medicine is the cure;
somehow I know it's not that simple, 
to end this will take much more.

The fear is overwhelming,
when the time comes there's no place to hide.
I hope that I've accomplished,
all that I've had in mind.

I hope I've lived my life to the fullest, 
loved with all my heart,
and made things right;
if I don't make it through the night.

The Rainbow

Colorful streaks float,
beautiful blue sky canvas;
nature at its best.

Nature's Way

Blue fades into gray,
the rain has finally come;
nature is refreshed.

When I'M Old

As we sat in silence,
in a room so dark and cold; 
a thought began to bother me,
and you weren't there for me to hold.

My skin began to sag,
my vision began to fade;
my thin hairline was barely there,
and I couldn't recognize my own face.

Bags under my eyes,
drooping under my chin;
wrinkles stretched from ear to ear,
and I could hardly spark a grin.

My arms were aged and underneath they hang,
there were calluses on my feet;
my legs were barley steady,
and time had damaged my speech.

My weight was hard on my knees,
I couldn't hear worth a lick;
I underestimated my cancer,
ignored it and became very sick.

Now I'm here in this hospital,
lying on this death stricken bed,
taking in my final breaths;
and I want you to hold my hand.

Look into my glossy eyes,
as my fragile skin becomes stiff and cold;
Remember the way we felt when we were young,
now I know for sure that you still love me when I'm old.

Hurricane Katrina

Water quickly fills the town,
a natural disaster and the levees came down; 
still no one could see the ground, 
helplessly watching friends and family drown.

People stuck up in their attics, 
on cell phones they'd get nothing but static; 
houses completely covered in water,
see  mother standing without her daughter.

No need to go back,
you have no home;
you've lost your family,
now you feel so alone.

The feeling that you have nothing to live for,
no choice but to steal your next meal from a closed store;
hundreds of people packed in shelters,
diseases continuously spreading through contaminated water.

Every few seconds as I watch the death toll rise,
both the young and the old all have tears in their eyes;
a big place with less hope, less funds, and less lives,
it's like having a value meal minus the drink and the fries.

Introduction

Since you've decided to read my poetry,
I may as well let you know;
I didn't dicover my talent yesterday,
but about four years ago.

I thought about being a rapper,
musican,
or a movie star;
but I realized that big dreams with no effort wouldn't get me far.

I began to write down my thoughts and dreams,
think hard and put them together;
I studied the people and things around me,
I even took notes about the weather.

All the feelings that I've had or the people who have influenced me,
somehow end up in the lines of my poetry.

When my mind, a pen, and paper meet,
something magical takes place;
so enjoy my poetry and tell me what you think.

Promise

I promise to be faithful,
and hope that you do too.
I promise to be honest, 
so please tell me the truth.

I promise I will listen,
so don't hold nothing back;
you cheated on that other girl,
but don't do me like that.

I won't ask you for money,
so don't tell me you're broke;
I promise not to fuss you out,
If i did so I would choke.

I promise not to make a promise
that I cannot keep,
I promise to be everything that
you need me to be.

Words

The art of life,
a million dollar invention;
without your existence,
things would go unmentioned.

You're the begining,
the end,
a lifelong friend;
until the end of time,
words will always win.

Love

You abandoned such an innocent soul, 
and set thy heart ablaze.
To abdicate the only one who accepted your imperfect ways?

Countless hours we'd sit and converse, 
who knew it'd end this way?
We use to speak of forever,
now there's nothing left to say.

Our love was ment to be timeless,
to weather and storm;
how could a bond that felt so right turn out to be so wrong?

No matter what the future holds,
we'll both realize in time;
it's complicating,  munipulating, no use complaining;
love.

Cultures

From all corners of the earth,
and all through history;
many cultures mix,
and give birth to new communities.

Our clothes, our songs,our beliefs, and our art;
together they made us one, 
though we were so far apart.

The meals that we love,
and the friendships that lasts;
proves that despite or differences,
in the end a bit of every tradition lasts.

While walking through neighborhoods of diversity
I heard a cardinal sing,
"oh..how I love this beautiful world, and all of the wonderful cultures that it brings.
