I stood on the gravel pathway, feeling the wind gently kiss my face, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms, mingling with the air. My hands went up to my mouth, covering my gasp, as I saw him kneel down on one knee, a velvet box in his hands. A gentle smile adorned his face, as he looked...

Nothing but roadblocks railroading my train of thought A way to move forward has to be on the precipus My vehicle halted on the road not traveled Hazard lights illuminate the darkness that surrounds my engine Unfortunate repairs as I leak black tears Busted, Mangled, & Torn Apart I sit parked in the space of my...

Roadwork noises by my window Fertilize with stones my thoughts I got used to live in limbo In the realm of bookish gods So I’m punished with the sounds And delighted when it’s quiet They are setting the new grounds About which I’m unreliant And I dash into the river Of the constant change but no It’s the same, cause I’m...

I was drenched in black water, Yet, it looked as though I were dried out. I stood before a lighthouse, Yet, remained unseen. Gazing into the sea’s blackness, The highest tides forever circled me. My eyes could find no anchor, As my dark hands sailed towards the farthest shore. My home, too, was cloaked in shadow; Something unseen, yet present, walked with me there. The...

When days of dreary tropes could feel no duller, and gray heavens escape my pencil’s reach, —oh misery!, it can’t be set to speech,— my crayon box dreams of unbridled color! When weeks waste precious hues for wanton squalor, my paintings doning the pale death of bleach, —or worse!—, if poetry can no more teach,— my crayon box prays for fuller color! Woe!Woe!Woe!—unto...

I can hear your heartbeat inside me Even though you're gone. I prayed for you my whole life. You finally came, So full of love and light. We were always together. I thought we always would be. I took care of you, and you I'm watched out for me. Then one day,...

Make believe you love me. Make believe you care. Make believe it's my fault. For you're no longer there. Make believe it's over. Make believe a lie. Make believe you love me. Make believe goodbye. Believe I really loved you. Believe I really cared. Believe my heart is broken, for I'm no longer there....

WHY THE SUFFERING OF MAN- 1. I don't know I don't understand The promises of mistrust of man Why? The misfortune and disarray Who’s to say we should live this way Please release The opening in the skies Lord Jesus come, come on by Come down and take your children Back to Our Father Elohim I don't know why we cry 2. I no sabi I no Di promises for mistrust...

The ground shakes and buildings sway with the blast of each shell. I cover my ears but the ringing stays. Fear grips my chest, Grief swells my throat, As I wait and wait in my safe place. I sit on a mat In the corner of the back room with my dog feeling human. Another day brings life. Music coming...

I observe the tapestry of life Consumed by all of this strife I tried to raise the wall Only to watch it fall They told me it's over As I battled to stay sober But why am I so lost And what is the cost I'm in the Hell of my own mind Like a stranger I've yet to find But if I were to...

It's three o'clock in the morning, and I'm sitting here on the bathroom floor, reliving that day—reliving your death. If only crying could ease the pain... Maybe I would be able to live my life again. Instead, I close my eyes and hear my voice blubbering to 911. Dad is at work, so I know...

We fit so well together, but sometimes... Sometimes, it's like water crashing on a rock. Moving so steadily, yet gushing so fast. I want to help you flow and grow, but for some reason, all I do is cause mayhem and white rapids. We can't see what's in front of us nor can we change it. You see... You...

What a beautiful person she is, with her hair and the slight smile on her face. Can you see the shadows that haunt her? Can you see the darkness hidden behind her eyes? She is so unique—stunning and bold. Yet, here she lies, unwillingly waiting for the moment when everything can no longer be denied....

When you find the pain helps you cope Fear not, you may still survive Deep within hides a beam of hope Take a breath and slowly revive The things that don't kill you Don't always make you stronger The wounds run deep and true The pain a way for you to conquer The scars heal and slowly fade But the agony will always remain The...

I'm still alive cos living’s my bad habit And like a bird is used to feel the saving sky I’m used to live on autopilot so won’t rub it With multiplying the essential reasons why But disappointment gets too huge to handle Got to bargain myself a little beggar mind To think more highly of the immigration ramble As if...
