In the halls of my mind I walk as I ponder,
Over things that trouble me, big and small,
Over things that tear me asunder;
As though I was made for this toll.
And I burn and melt and boil with these:
The fancily named; dyslexia and schizophrenia,
Even the owned one; Parkinson's disease,
For they make me succumb to insomnia.
And as I struggle with this jumble
Of emotion and thought that conflict within,
In and out of reality I stumble
And only stop when I'm at my mind's end.
Will my intellect stay firm or will it crumble?
My sanity is a thing I always question and contemplate.
"It'll all be fine!" To myself I mumble.
Hopefully, one day, I will be out of this state!

my pen today is slow and weak
so bleak of what people seek
of love it see's empty lines
only memories of what's far behind
my patriot lies in a silent grave
unremembered are the boast he made
my pride has fears of being attacked
unmoved by silence and hearing he lacks
my eyes see beauty but prefers the unwritten
my heart still desires but has not been smitten
my interest have waned because of work
my crazy wild side won't go berserk
of life I have nothing to say
this barrenness of feelings won't go away
even who I love is a mystery
is she dead, living or even near me
but a poet lives inside of me still
waiting to write what it will
seeking a greatness from words distilled
fancily written as though from a quill

Come in disguise, the invite read
Feast our eyes, allow us to guess
Dress in truthful lies, was what it said
Like a queen in chess, whose off with their head!
Prizes awarded for the best dressed
Whoevers costume most impressed
We've got Batman and Joker
Lion-O and Mummra
We have Tom and also Jerry
with Catwoman played by Halle Berry
Wearing the mask off of Jim Carrey
Alice is hear, she looks so grand
The MadHatter too, he's never bland
Someone's even dressed as a foetus
bet they thought that would beat us
I am naked with a girl on my back
for that idea I took some flack
But I felt it'd do ever so well
I am a snail and this is Michelle
Over there's a man dressed as cheese
chatting up girls who like bries
I jump over two men clothed as sheep
Who beg my return cos they're trying to sleep
A quick chat with Bob Marley
and see a scooter dressed as a Harley
Even has the handlebars from Salvador Dali.
Please don't get too depressed
poor losers and all the rest
look at Joe, he did best
put the effort in and passed the test
don't use his sash as a garrot
he looks great as a carrot
fancily dressed as a parrot!

my flower
my delicate
orchid
in the forest
of my dreams
shaded by
tall trees
that sway
in tropic
breeze
and share
the sun
with you and
your green
leaves
but it is
your flowers
colors that
glow
that irresistible
glow
that sunbeams
display
to the wild
the pride
and beauty
this thing posses
on a
mountain high
fancily dressed
only for Gods
eyes to see
colors to
attract a bee
and carry it's
pollen
i hope
to me
so that with me
you'll forever be

your proposal
caught me by surprise
a rapid disposal
easy to surmise
a sealed envelope
fancily letterized
with only my name
on the out side
with no way to avoid
the tearing the seal
i removed the letter
while you were starring and still
and read the content
the moment well spent
giving emotions to feelings rarely lent
emotions are things
in which we have no control
but you handled my emotion
quite well being so bold
a poem well written
from deep in the heart
my emotions were smitten
what to say
i don't know where to start
so i'll just wrap my arms around you
and hold you real tight
let this be my love
with all my might
try not to smother
or put out the light
but hold you in my arms
until my love comes in sight
i'll make you part of me
where love only grows
a part of me that no matter what
you can come and hold
because that's what your proposal did
when it wrapped around my heart
it gave my life new meaning
and a brand new start
