I'm writing on the first page.
I love the concord and quiet at my age.
The morning came from a genius mage.
In my spirit, I am searching for the truth stage.

Strategically placed when raised 
Upwards
By your masterful and well 
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing 
Skylines 
That frown down with arrogant

This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon...

And ply strain against the yearn, 
Against the fire, the desire for sigh 
Haughty, you stand, before the...

I swing around enormous trees

Fighting invisible demons in the shrouding veil,
near to death, and tired from the wages of battle.

Then a light peirced the night...
An angel came into sight, and my demons retreated.
I fell...

Multiple choices with one last try, amid this myriads maze

Someone very dear unto myself asked me the other day

God is always there, watching over me with loving eyes
Whenever I arrive home,

 It begins at home
even closer: it begins "I"nside
I have forgiven failures, failing in faith, inside me

I heard a story of a princess
She was someone
That enjoyed pain of others

Whishing her hand in marriage 
But she did not care for...

Every one of my five brothers
and I strive to create harmony.
Our lives are lived in parallel
yet at times we work alone.
Other times we play well together -
unity and coexistence is our goal.

My father's abeng blew up my mother's womb
And I was chained there
Nine months in darkness drinking blood
Longing for my resurrection from the tomb
Longing to break the chains
Holding me before my birth to a carnal earth
Longing...

A.I. BEAUTY
By Leon Enriquez


A compelling form:
Art by new means comes
In a causal norm
As beauty now sums
Charm that thus informs
A candid road bump


Light pixels now tint
Allure and fine shades
Colours etch new mint
In charming new...

Once upon a time,
When peace was at its prime.
The moon was always the light in the night,
Seeing flashing of teeth under the moonlight.
Songs from the heart rented the air,
Because it was an honor to bear....

And was mankind created to dream for no reason
Locked in an awareness
Only physical
What we sense through this body
Is only an impression
Of the energy field
Created between each and every single atom

You abide in the light
I’ll miss you…when you venture off at night 
Don’t forget me…
Don’t discard me…

Please don’t ignore me…
