World
Of a Great truth the world is Sweet,
Shaking hands with those that got Understanding
Smiling and Mocking the Ignoramus.
Of 'ts fate the World satisfy all;
For her beauty,structure and tautology beckons
for Salvo.
Of a truth the World is large and full of gesture;
It waters the learner
And brings to Vertex of ones discovery.

Wishes.
Sometimes people wish
for things to benefit
themselves
which is all well and good,
I suppose
But what if you
wanted to wish
for something else
maybe for a friend
or for a friend you haven't
even met yet
But if I had just one wish
I'd wish
for the world to be a better place
not just for me
but for all of the people
out there fighting
Fighting for freedom
or maybe equality
I'd wish it on the people
caught in the crossfire
losing everything they have
for a war they never wanted
But I'd wish it
on the people I hate, too
Because everybody deserves
a chance
at seeing the world at peace
with clean air
and happy people
and at a universe
filled with love

She smiles. The sun itself cannot shine any brighter than her when she smiles. Unlike
the sun, you can stare at her light. And when your eyes start to tear it's because you
realize that no beauty has never shined like hers. Like I a rock I stand. My body frozen
in place. A glance was all I gave but a glance was all it took to get me. My mind frees
itself and she crawls inside my head. For a moment she is the only one I think about. I
do anything, say anything to see her smile. Suddenly the world becomes my stage and she
is my crowd. And as if it were my sole purpose in life, I make her smile. Make her
laugh. Make her feel as if only my words bring the world to laughter. Make them
memorable so that when she thinks of them she'll think of me and she'll smile.
Laying there just beyond my touch,
The envy of my eye,
A world in despair.
All plump and juicy,
Full of any mans desire.
A many of a souls hand in
with a stake,
Most of which pulled
from another’s place.
It’s a world confused,
blinded by greed.
If played by the rules
You Could be left behind.
You will have made a dime,
By creating a crime.
Torn between the two,
We are all confined.
If any were to jump
to a rat race,
a little or even
a lap behind,
There his life would be stuck the entire time.
at night when the stars dancing in the sky
fireflies arrogantly show their lights too
when the world turn slower then the day
it's just you and the night
the day when time keeps chasing
the feeling of heartache comes crashing
the burden of your life seems pushing
you need a remedy for your soul
many hearts breaking
many dreams crumbling
many prayers freely spoken
hearts are crying from within
it's a crowded world and you need to get out
when your heart is boiling and you need a way out
when you need peace
when you need to release
just sit on the ground and stared that starry sky
feel the night wind blows and touches your skin
let the breeze calm your heart
and it's just you and the night
You ask me how, I never cry
or curse God's name, or question why.
You ask me how I keep this grin,
While drowning in this world of sin.
I simply state, with all this hate,
the world has in its present state,
that i can't find a way to live,
unless i'm smiling, please forgive..
So to you, an invitation
To spread this love throughout this nation.
But why not go the extra mile,
and give the world my viral smile?
Now one last time, go forth my friend,
and see this problem to the end,
Try to brighten someone's day,
and keep that smile, it's here to stay!
When I close my eyes
This world melts away
Revealing to my surprise
The world I left astray
A low lit room
Watching a stage
A rocking tune
And comedic craze
The smell of cuisine
Italian of the sort
Croissants in between
This I report
Cool, crisp air
Pure to my skin
It is my happy place
I want to come again
Its been a long time since we've seen each others' smile..
Its been forever since we ran away from it all...
An escape from life where we can drive for miles...
A quiet place where we can hide and pull down the shades..
Sit under a tree and talk awhile as we watch the water cascade..
Read to you as your eyes close and you're in my world again..
Holding your head on my chest as we remember where we began..
No cares in the world as I tell you stories of a misspent youth...
Your eyes open to certain parts as you know which parts are true...
Shoulder and foot rubs till the sun starts to set,
two hearts haven't changed from the first day we met..
The sun rays shine through the trees and outline your vision to me..
It won't be this long again I'm sure for this getaway was meant to be..
for W.
Joy
Walking under bridges
Running through trees
Trying not to think
Looking at short-cleaned grass
Hearing the chat of Sarah and leena
But listening to something else
Entering the world of rhythm
To the world of music
Running with my hair all bouncing
Screaming from joy
Pretending to defeat the sun
Dancing from amusement
What is it that happened to me?
Can this joy be my daily visitor?
Will it last in my eternity?
Will it be there in my dark alley?
In my lonely spot
But it has lasted for a speak of minutes
Compared to 14 years of my life
I want this joy
I want it unquestionably!
Self labeled Pothead
Sittin on the curb
smoking my herb
A menace to society
a deviant to the propriety
sittin calm cool n collected
while my car is illegally inspected
if found, as little as a seed
I get hit with possession of weed
I could do more time
For possession of a dime
Than someone caught on tape
And convicted of rape
A world of injustices and im caught in between
Cant toke my pipe in fear of being seen
Who has the right to choose for me
Im gonna smoke my herb! just let me be
We are no longer a minority
Infact we may have majority
So let it be known
Theres nothing like home grown
You too have a choice
Let the world hear your voice
I will continue to hit this joint
Just to prove my point!
My closet is full of many masks I can choose to wear
For my true face I would never share
Each day I awaken
I look to see which mask I want to put on me
Which one do I want to choose
Do I want to make people laugh today
do I want to console someone who has had a loss
Do I want to act wild and free
It is so very hard not to show the real me
People do not want to see
What lies deeply in me
My pain I keep hidden away
Showing the world what they want to see
My masks are to make people's lives better
For that is what I want them to see
I always put the world before me
I am no one when I stand alone
but my masks are made intricately
to fill the voids people have within them
To take away any sad feeling they have within their hearts
For my quest's in life has always been
to bring happiness and love to people all around me..
I sleep beyond its warmth
I envision upon its touch
In this world exists a hell lot of blankets
But this, ineffably, I admire very much
In shades of light blue
My blanket wraps me tight
Its color a deep, tender comfort
Resembling a departing night
Across the wide distances of cold
I am shielded amid its warm fluff
I begin to sink in skies, as soon as
I lay my head upon its cloudy puff
In this world exists a hell lot of blankets
But this, ineffably, I admire very much
I now yearn to sleep all day
Within its magical, surreal clutch
