Choose to LiveDon't believe the lies that have been said,
Do you truly think you're better off dead?
Shake that thought out of your head,
Let me tell you what is true, what is real,
My friend, you should choose to live instead.
Why do you meet the mornings with dread?
Wake up, come on, rise from your bed,
How about some breakfast so...

CAPTURED CAPSURINGS-Forgotten memories;
Abated distant dreams;
How do you know?
You’re a gathering soul;
Quiet mouths spoken whispers;
Enraged emotions atop the raptures;
Where do you go for peace?
When war is all that’s released
Remembering feelings;
Caught up in ourselves;
Mind keeps racing and reeling;
We're all caught up out of breath;
Remember
Awaken
Knowledge
Spirits core
Forgotten memories;
Abated distant dreams;
How do you know?
You’re a gathering soul;

Speak To Me From LoveWhen I’m in a place of darkness and cold,
Speak to me from Love, no need to be bold.
For you’re only sharing what you’ve been told,
Allow Truth to flow through that’s good as gold.
Dear writer of poetry, release truth which can mend.
Let it flow through our land and spread like the wind.
Write from your instinct, tell...

Every WomanShe is every woman,
Bringing love to her man,
She shares erotica,
Ever so wundebar,
She is wife to all men,
Loving chick in his zen,
She can birth, she can bleed,
Cook, nurse, love indeed,
She has the ear of God,
Ere power walk over sod,
She is every woman,
Hope you wave that fan!...

My Cousin MI often reflect on the character of certain individuals. The character I'm referring to, in a dictionary sense, is not the same as the characters in my book. Writing reveals a person's character like nothing else.
The characters in my poems are never about me; they reflect my willingness to come to terms with them. For...

The Decline of HumanitySee the world around yourself,
See the people around you—
The scary face of people,
The crying face of children.
They are scared, lonely, and sad.
They fear the world.
See the fearless around the world.
The mothers are crying with children in their hands,
Praying for their children’s life,
While others are praying for their children’s future
To be bright.
People say, “This is the...

Ode to Krish
She is not made of atoms,
but aftermaths
the kind that linger in a room long after
the lights remember to flicker back on.
Her spine?
An origami of fallen yesterdays,
creased by collapse,
but folded forward into flight.
They call it resilience,
but she knows better
it’s architecture,
a cathedral of nerve built from
"this will not break me,"
hummed on repeat until it didn’t.
She speaks fluent...

HE THAT GOETH TO-FOREThe high and the lows, strife and blows
Through high tides, and angry winds,
Hurricanes and tornadoes
Life stalls, uncertainity builds,
fear beckons and faith dissolves
But with the last ounce of hope, i cling to Psalms 46:1
Daunting opposition flanks all directions ,
Laying bare fibres of my imperfections.
Trust turned to ammunition,
piercing the fabric of my unsuspecting fondness.
The multitudes in...

Come What MayCome What May...
When tears don’t say – because you pray
It will be okay, when you see the light of day
Time will reveal, the story of His will
Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still
I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face
Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars
Glimpses of...

boys lessons
They told him, “Boys don’t cry or feel,”
“Stand tall, be hard, and never kneel.”
So he learned young to wear a mask,
To fake the strength they dared to ask.
He bit his tongue, he clenched his jaw,
Afraid to show a single flaw.
And every tear he held inside
Just made him hollow, made him hide.
They praised him when he...
