To my unborn child, I'm so SORRY
I can't stop this pain, it's a non-stop debate of how it all would be

Painted images and thoughts constantly fill my head
I've tried to escape it but the only way is by being dead

I felt your every move and...

Yes no you said to me
As you sipped on your tea
This coffee town outlet expresses no poetry
As you realize that the bag is still in

My scrambled eggs metaphorically describe my vocabulary
I stutter like learner in first gear
Your green eyes make me melt like like like
Some...

You want to hear something dramatic
no for real, do you want to hear it
you talk like you are a man but
all you really are is a dog and a liar
you know what confuses me
is that why didn't you be up front about it?
why didn't you...

Low flying plane
Cloudless sky, bright blue
Steel clashing, burning orange
Cloudless no more, smoke fills the sky
Thick, gray, rolls through the city
Much more than a tragedy
3,000 deaths
Millions affected
Billions left with a dark memory seared in their minds
By the hands of one, and
A search begins
War, oil, money
What are...

(Southern hospitality with a twist of lemon and a rope)

Who dares to serve me tea with lemon?!
On my own plantation born in heaven
Flowing in the land of milk and honey
Did I not say please....I'm sure I did

But now comes the first meal of the day...

everyone has trials and tribulations in life
but people think that they can hide from it
ignore it,and push it away
behind it lies something you can't run away from.
your happiness within your self and your feelings
but in you are a coward a chicken.
the fact you can't face...

Card Pack Play

You should have told me sooner you didn't wish to stay
Not adding more years, as you continued to play
Women are your weakness they fall for your charm
Eyes opened wide I should have listened to bells alarm

To late did I realise your cheating done...

Sunset ebbed so quickly,
Dark clouds gathered swiftly.
Cold wind whipped around me,
As I stood on the quay.

My old brittle bones ache,
Entirely my mistake.
Turned back to the haven,
A coward, a craven.

Now abandoned by all
I’d revert to my call.
No alcohol would aid.
Was just addicted by trade.

Yet there she...

He walked into the dusty saloon,
maybe an hour after high noon,
his face still smooth with the touch of youth,
eyes dead-set on seeking out the truth.

He saw him there, two men at his side,
looking just like his mother described,
the scar, gold tooth...the cold countenance,
Silas knew that...

In the bond between my father and me,
Best friends we stand, understanding silently.
He, aware of my literary love,
My passion for technology, soaring above.
A laptop, my haven, where life's stories unfold,
In its glow, my narrative, bright and bold.

My mother, my ally, ever steadfast,
Knows me more than...

Trails of your tears are seen on the grounds of time
Twice removed; I see the sheer impact of the grime
I didn’t even try to stop it; I would only add to the pain
I saw their eyes glaze over when they realized you were dead
And I...

We all have a human responsibility and a duty to perform and execute.
I am convinced that our Maker has assigned to each of us a purpose.
The subject matter of purpose is very interesting with broad perimeters,
but it becomes more intriguing and far more challenging if...
