Premium MemberAllow Me To speak

Don't think I'm an old substance.
I too was, like you, young once.
I am weighed down by silence.
Times have tested my patience.

Why should you speak for my sake?
Can you heal my every ache?
Why should you expound my words?
Do you know the words of birds?

With my parlance, I'm at ease.
Why should you be my mouthpiece?
Allow me to

Allow Him To Speak

Does he have something to say
Should he be allowed to say it
Maybe he should be censored 
Stand around without an opinion
He is told not to offend
Not to say anything against the world
But who knows what he could do
What he would do if he could speak
But he has been beaten down for so long
He may have

The more we 
allow ourselves 
to feel 
what lives 
deep inside, 
the more familiar 
it becomes to us,
giving us 
the confidence 
to express it

The more 
what lives 
deep inside 
comes out 
and finds 
its way freely,
the better
it can heal 
all that once 
was broken

We Who Allow Devotion to End us

|We Who Allow devotion to end us.

{"My stability, our integrity, transpires to be poaching down into a gap of nothingness. I would coincidentally praise myself for not ceasing to function as a new youthful adult, I documented into the coercive world with expectancies and hopes, never diminishing, soaring to the atmosphere yet all crashes down

Allow Me To Be Your Mirror

I see the beauty that you cannot see.
The perfection I notice embraces your flaws.
Emphasizes the character behind your eyes,
encased inside the four walls of your concrete castle.
I see the love you have for others,
passion you want to share.
I see your bravery and perseverance,
trauma planting daisy seeds.
I see the beauty that you cannot see.
Please, allow me

are criminal lawyers good people when they allow the innocent to Be Convicted

no god would stoop so low,
to break a mind already fragile,
or put innocence in a cell,
let alone make it pay for some sinless crime.

there are ghosts who don’t leave,
they cling like smoke,
they stain a man’s skin
with the black of all he’s seen and felt—
screams sealed inside walls,
eyes kept wide, without sleep.

in prison, the screams bounce

ALLOW ME TO LOVE YOU FROM AFAR

allow me to love you from far

Our connection transcends fate; it's an unexplainable force.
Though it led us to a dead end, I can't let go.
I've realized I can never love another like I love you.
This love controls me, and I'm powerless against it.

Once, I believed you were my destiny.
Now, I see that our paths diverge.
You

Allow wines to jailbreak

The whole world is waiting, all ears agog,
For your birthday, to start a dialogue,
Your goodness is daily praised by their gongs,
For at no time, you blamed them for their wrongs.

Your heart gleams bright, free of any hatred,
So why won't your birthdays be this sacred.
Even the mirrors can't hide your beauty ~
That, that nature adopts as

just allow the tao

sunlight on the son,
shining like a star.
king of the world,
the man from afar.

his army of peace,
come to stop the war.
a hint to the rich,
a hand to the poor.

the princely posture,
standing nice and straight.
the life that we live,
will come down to fate.

let the magic free,
dancing like a fool.
we all have to have,
some kind of fuel.

The night

Allow this to be my 1st

Let me start by saying thank you for today
Never have I thought there was a better day 
Today is my day
Not to think of yesterday
Not even even thinking about tomorrow
Only to appreciate today
It is my first
With your comment may even my curse
Let today be my everyday rehearse

Allow me to Lift the Curtain

Right up until you were honest 
I found hope in the regressing of your sentences 
From fine wine to a poisoned chalice 
Remembering you in the corner of the grocery store 
Sparked the overwhelming urge to run away 
Trying to navigate through the dichotomy of hiding from my future 
Vs. reliving the past through disguised

Premium MemberPlease, Allow Me

May I have the pleasure of a dance
Alone with you? Allow me to
Romance and treat my lady right
I'll kiss you morning, noon, and night
I'll dip you, twirl you round and round
And lift you clear up off the ground
I won't let go, you're safe with me
There's no where else I'd rather be
Than next to you, right

Presence

With the beat of your heart sycronize your breath 
Follow your natural rythem, and flow into now
Allow this rythem to guide you, throughout your day into beingness
 Shower this flow of energetic wisdom to all who cross your path.
Listen to the tune your heart wishes to share with the world
Allow your laughter to send sparkles
