later,
he meets a woman
the deepest
and oldest source
of his contentment
they smile
but never marry
she harbored no hate

Tiny hearts beating fast;
hoping for a love that lasts;
Cryptic calls;
passions fall;
Love awaits, hate displaced;
Joy retaliates;
Variance tolerance;
Voicing love;
Lovers choice;
Beautiful ernst;

My calm walk
I’m dressed so well in my attire
I feel so independent
Looking and feeling beautiful
So, let them admire or hate
For, what they see is
What I have struggled for
My hopes and dreams
To live in this world
Without fear and alarm
For women, today
Don’t be afraid
The sun will shine
One day

Sitting here staring blankly letting the drugs overtake me.Trying to think of real things while the man on the radio sings.
Hard to think of what to do next. it's like reading a foreign texts.
Maybe I should try to find my way back but wanting to go back is what I lack.
I hate being here you know, where the path of hurt and depression is so near.P

It drives down the holes
To take us lower
It tears muscle from bone
To make us weaker
We need hope tonight now
We need a new today
Lies, deceits, hate and disdain
It sticks to us all and we’ll have to fight it to go away.
We need a new tomorrow
We need a new norm.
Perhaps we need a new Banksy
To illustrate that the England is for one and all.

My minds division,
To hate or forgive what’s the decision,
Separated like the Berlin wall,
Inflicted heart of pain I stall,
So much cruelty I never understood,
The difference of evil and good,
To this level I will not crawl,
A choice of life that could make you fall,
I forgive you as I begin new mountains climb
And I hope you me too, over time.

Lips kiss and whisper
Transmute our power
Create windless tunnels
Tornado of faith
Blizzard of hate
Summer of love
Signal decay
Tell me it is the end
And I have gone too far
Autumn has begun
An eclipse revealing
our black star.
Divulge the truth
Her Transpiration
Explodes the sun.
Cold winter
exists within
unsaid words
we are destined
To rule our worlds

Do you hate to erase
The texts that I send
Or rid of the card
I've written in pen
Do you hold dear to words
And sometimes read through
What you've already read
One more time or two
Do you like that the someone
Whose love is so true
Would take of their time
And spend it on you
I ask this because
I've been there too
I treasure the gifts
I've gotten from you

In the midst of ravaged nature you are a rose that blossoms hope
In the midst of thunder you are a voice in an angelic choir
In the midst of a storm you give a diamond glitter to rain drops
In the midst of crawlers you are a gracious flyer
In the midst of hate and pain you have an eye for love and joy
In the midst of prejudice and jealousy you are always the one with a cheer

Again
Again...
I feel no arousal
Nor in love
Nor hate
Again...
I permit his feast
upon my flesh
But why?
Again...
I verbally proclaim “no”
My feeble attempts
elicit surrender
Again...
I harbor the regret
Burden of shame
Priciest weight
Again...
I camouflage my sin
Playing an imposter
Doting wife
Again...
I declare to cease
Like an addict,
I lie

May I talk to your hidden thoughts
May I hold your hand and guide you so you won't get lost
May I hope you understand
That there's more than just our plan
Can we maintain and tell the world
That we serve
a mighty Lord
what will happen if we regulate
Those of the thoughts of distilled hate
Together we shall dance

All those stars out there tonight.
Billions of miles of fading light.
All those hearts out there tonight.
Billions of tears and a billion smiles.
Raindrops fall then disappear.
Dark nights call and dreams appear.
Stay safe and don’t lose the love of your light.
Don’t give in to hate without a fight.
Stand tall no matter what your height.
Look up into the darkest night.
Claim your star and name your light.

You're familiar with the expression,
"It's not me, it's you"
Well, in this situation
That statement is true
I hate to be that person,
I'm not trying to be rude
But I feel like you are
So, what should I do?
You leave me no choice
I'm tired of you
You're too disrespectful
So I'm leaving you.
Change is a good thing
I'm ready to move
This decision was common logic,
Like, 1 + 1 = 2.

Happy Man Divorcée
Fore lorn my darling divoicee
I am trouble by your beauty
Cause I hate thee
Tho! I seldom say your name
The sight of you draws me pain
So, sign this decree
The house is mine
The cars are mine
The watch you keep time, (with is…)
Mine
The chothes you were
The comb for your hair
You can have them
You ain’t getting nothing from me
Oh! Yeah and I’m keeping the cat

"It's this strange feeling in my stomach,
like someone is tying a million knots.
My throat dries, my eyes turn sore,
and when I see you with him,
I lose my consciousness.
My body becomes numb and cold,
everything begins to spin like a vinyl,
everything shatters like glass.
I try to reach you,
but you take a step back towards her.
I hate this feeling.
I hate it.
I thought you were my soul mate,
but I was wrong,
I was wrongly played by my own fate."

This is ours, we don't have to justify.
We've worked hard together all our lives, we don't have to lie.
They hate that we succeed, they hate that we're all we need
Hidden curses fall onto our plates, cruel jibes behind our faces those people make
Expectant loyalty?
Bloodlines.........really?
Where were they in our hours of need?
You're my wife, the only one to whom I'll kneel
You're the reason I still breathe, you're my only queen
I'd turn my back on all mankind to be here for your needs.

It's Valentine's Day so we will celebrate.
As Love devours and conquers hate.
When two become one, it's wonderful and great.
Love is in the air and there's no debate.
When Cupid shoots his arrow in each person's heart.
Right then and there the relationship will start.
There's nothing better than Friendship and Love.
Just like Heavenly Rain that comes from up above.
Let us all love each other in a special way.
Blessings to All and Happy Valentine's Day.

I'm sorry I left you with all these troubles...
To bob helpless in a raging sea...
I really didn't mean to leave you...
Didn't mean to make it all about me...
As I cry upon this paper...
Clearer thoughts I've never had...
And as I sit alone in protest...
You are the one who sits there sad...
I hate where I am...
I hate what I've become...
I miss you all so dearly...
I hate that I'm so dumb...
And if I ever see you again through all the madness...
I hope you can forgive me...
I hope to be the boat that saves you from that raging sea...

Head on my chest
Laying there to rest
Hearing the beat of my heart
Wishing we didn't have to part
You gave me an awesome kiss
Making my life so bliss
Hands on my back
Me touching your rack
A kiss so true
Don't tell me were through
Your heart racing a mile a second
Its just like heaven do you reckon
Putting a smile on your face
Speeding up the pace
Thought I was just a friend
Does this have to end
You heart is in a bind
Don't let me get left behind
Your hand on my chest
Knowing I think your the best
I hate you have to run
But I hope we are not done

STUCK BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS
I’m stuck between two brothers
Both at once my mother’s lovers
One married her, totally unaware
The other her love, she did share
Took a time before the truth told
As a brothers love then turn cold
Took revenge on the child, not his
As now her unhappiness is as it is
Why the mother is never, blamed
And the true father never, named
As to give me some peace of mind
Why have you to me, been unkind
Serves you well, that I hate you all
And I have no door in which to call
Passing by my very own heartache
Now left forgotten as your mistake

Master Of Creation
Her legs perfectly curved, Only to walk upon mellow roses
Her walk easily misunderstood, Only a real man can appreciate
Her posture screams perfection, Even through their jealously they can't help but admire her presence
Her face so radiant you'd swear her maker never knew the elements of error.
This creator has blessed this ground with a flourishing flower, cause'
Deep in her eyes you find a life never been introduced to hate nor anger
Deep in her heart you find a heavenly place where love resides
This craftsman has indeed blessed this ground with a flourishing flower
But, A man he is not
He indeed is, A MASTER OF CREATION

I know the love is genuine because you're willing to sacrifice your glory
I know your passionate about it because your willing to try & rewrite a already written story
You are selfless in every since of the word you see the good no matter how absurd
I often wonder what would make you sacrifice your heart you've been a phenomenal soul since inception hit start
I pray you see in the mirror the person who illuminates my eyes & forms the vision of a Goddess I wanna say you're a God but I'm being modest
I vote that his story becomes history that might be the answer to the the mystery that keeps you in misery & I'm not trying to hate I'm saying this rather or not you miss me

I wish people would quit picking on my sister. She is a wonderful writer and I know her
work is dark and creepy but that is who she is. She writes to entertain and to take you
places that make you uncomfortable. If you read her poems and you get the chills she has
done what she set out to do! If it creeps you out to much then when you see the name
Illyanna De La Keur then don't read it. This is a place where we all can demonstrate our
creativity and I would hate for her to remove her work and quit writing. Illyanna is a
writer that is an acquired taste and if not for her and my other sister I would never have
explored my own talent so please lay off on telling her to change her subject matter.

Your words are like stones
Whether skipped or thrown
Destination unknown
They fly alone
Bruising and breaking deeper than bones
Yet pain from these stones will never be shown.
Whether near or far
She'll faithfully wait
Till the unknown date
When those stones are kind and lost of hate
You make mistakes
Yes she can relate
But what if the pain becomes to great
Whe the kindness comes too late
Such small pieces of her heart
whats left to make
She gave to much
Now there's none to take
Just one everlasting ache
That your stones did create
They say you can never retake
A women's heart once it breaks
So next time withhold the quake
Your stones with take
And keep this lesson
As a dear keepsake.

When I say “I can’t take anymore.”
It’s really quite a shame
That doesn’t mean I’ll shut the door
It’s become a losing game
No one here is keeping score
To know you is to love you
To hold you is a need
My mind floods with memories of you
Making my heart bleed
There is no one above you
I don’t want to isolate you
Lock you up at home
Or make those people hate you
They do that on their own
Their image can't create you
People claim to be your friend
Yet, they long to see your sorrow
If ever our love should end
They’d have all of you tomorrow
It’s on you that they depend
