Four Seasons

Winters boldness has its ways,
Of bringing coldness through its snowflakes,
Through the windows its always viewed,
But within it we humans are rude,

Spring dandelions bring us smiles,
Puts us outside back for a while, 
Its nature starts to show,
Those seeds are watered,
Did you know?

Summers heat is so intense,
Takes our garments off our head,
Oceans and pools begin to be fed, 
Oh and at night no blankets used,
Just our bareness instead,

Showering down summers leftovers,
Here comes autumn!
well I guess Fall?,
The breeze it brings feels like an AC,
Look what's coming up again,
Winters boldness, Come Save Me!

I Can Say, I Can Do

I can say I'm honest,
But would you believe me?
I can say I was lying,
But would you still swim in my sea?

I can tell you lies,
Bring you even closer,
I can tell you the truth,
It'll be a heavier dose though,

I can grab your attention?
By behaving in a bigger viewing,
Or I can stand next to you,
So we're smiling in a greater doing?

What if I said to you,
You're beautiful all around,
Or instead said you can work on it,
So you end up not hearing your own sound,

I can even take you through my life,
Explaining my whole world really fast,
Have you struggling with me,
So you can doubt if we should last,

Or I can just love you,
Hold you tight
Never let go,
Work on it right?

Things do get better
If you hold on right,
give all you got,
So it stays tight inside & out 

-Omi (Journal)

Left Over Filters

Rolled up tobacco, 
Left over filters,
That life,
Yeah I'm guilty, 
But you know, 
At least I'm still me,
If you haven't understood,
You'll still understand,
Question though..
Have you shook hands
With hope?
Hoping about cope,
How will you?
Could you have?
Nah, maybe ..
Yeah I could see it,
But you didn't,
Did you?
Oh wow,
Oh no,
It's getting truthful,
Apologize?
Never that,
Too human,
So can't,
Yeah okay,
But you witness,
This whole world,
Around us,
Connects all,
Yet we cant connect,
Or can we?
We just haven't tried,
Scratch all this,
Only if I lied,
Goodbye

Spare Us, To Sharing

You dare me to truth or lie,
Yet obviously want the truth,
Confessing in due time,
No hesitation so I always just do,

Truth be told no dares equals no lies,
Yet always in doubt but still say hi,
I'm messing with a combined
Always waiting for an answer to come by,

Speaking for the unspoken,
yet listening to none,
The words left broken,
Can't obviously be undone,

Listening to the token,
Rolling into the fun,
Sounds left screeching,
On the pavement from the sun,

Feelings getting so questioned ,
After the answers from witness,
Grabbing a bunch of hearted,
To keep the love amidst -Omi

I Understand

I mean I understand 
This hatred comes in difference,
But does it have to
Come along with ignorance?

We were born in the same,
Process we call love,
But doesn't that prove 
Itself on how it comes?

I say this to lives
In front of me
Up to the furthest,
Destination to being,

Can we please just, 
End all these acts,
Of violence in life,
& remain pact?

I'm tired of losing,
My friends & relatives,
Even strangers & children,
To wars from irrelevance,

Culture defining humanity,
Truth it is all yes,
But defining humans
Is not what it meant,

In any type of faith
It has all given hope,
In any type of blessing
Thankfully kept ahold,

So doesn't that clarify,
Our capacities in regrets,
So our understanding
Can be also met,

I'm thinking too much
About this matter
That we're dealing with,
I want it to shatter,

I want our generation to survive...
