It has been a long time since we have truly embraced. The last embrace we had was two years before our reconnecting. In the past, many people would say that we would be great together since we spoke so much and never fought during the first year and the last year. At least, that is what you stated to me. I can only be a friend as these years have reconnected and shown that I was not part of your life back then. The time lost between us cannot be made within weeks. Whatever love I had for you is no longer there. My responses to you have been more of a reaction to the event; however, they are not of my true free will. I wanted to believe we could be together until I realized you were not there to celebrate with me. You do not say anything to me outside of our everyday communication. You genuinely do not love me. If your claimed (in your mind) ex was not sent to the afterlife, then you would still be with them (only in your mind). After the events that have played out for both of us, I realized that I can only keep you in my past heart; however, you cannot be with me in this life as a partner and not in the afterlife as a partner. I will not be a rebound for anyone. Where were you 17 years ago? When I asked you out, you gave me a lame excuse as if you spoke about the event prior with your mother. Leading me on all those years ago assisted in wasting my time when I could have spent time with someone worthy of my love.
Scars run deep, and I cannot speak of the pain that they have caused. What I once felt for you, I no longer felt. The flame in my soul is burning bright as I have seen the deceitful kisses on my cheek from your lips. The wounds of my friends who do not kiss me are faithful. Each time a tear drops from my cheek, it evaporates, and the water will not extinguish the flame. My heart only weeps as I see that I was never necessary to you until your former mate was no longer here. Are you telling me the truth when I never saw you with a mate at your party two years prior? Each night, I spend my time in class after work and on my days off. I need a partner that will be here by my side. You have only given me space. People from the other side of the planet have given me more praise. Friends from different regions have encouraged me to do more. You have not been here by my side. With no regrets, I must decline your advances.
Through maritime miles of minions and mirth
My life is a wash for the sake of my birth
My song is the surf and my sigh is the sea
Oh what can be done for the dreamer in me
I need to be strong when I wake up at four
To bask in the dawn of a day to explore
To sail the ocean and learn it by heart
To prove my devotion with every new start
The oceans and seas are my feelings of late
The secrets they hold are the keys to my fate
The water is blue and it mimics the sky
My life is a bath and a sweet lullaby
Please say what you will about pirates and ships
But these are the reasons I pay for these trips
My booty is big and my treasure is true
What more do I need when my journey is through
The ocean is teeming with all sorts of fish
And I have been dreaming of eating this dish
The dolphins that play are a joy to behold
And whales are kind to the young and the old
The captain is crazy for treasure to dig
But he wears a patch with a debutante's wig
The lady he keeps is a cause of concern
She boils the water but can't make it burn
The ocean below is my love and my life
My notion of strength and my courage in strife
I follow the flow of her dress in the night
The wedding of water and wonder of light
The evening is still with a soft, supple breeze
And even my shipmates are sailing with ease
The fish are still flapping with joy in their flight
The way it should be for the rest of the night
The ocean is deep for the ships when they die
And though I should weep for the time that is by
The path of adventure is leading me on
My time to be cool in the heat of the dawn
The soul of the ocean is calling to me
The song of her life is a sweet melody
The lull of the surf is the calm in my day
The pull of the tide when she takes me away
A whale is with us for part of our trip
She follows the lead of our old pirate ship
The peace in my life is the quiet I need
To bury my strife in a book that I read
Somewhere in my life is a beautiful wish
To find me a wife in the net of a fish
To cover the ocean and capture the sea
And do it with love for the rapture in me.

Jesus is My Superhero!
Ever since I was a little kid he was there
He would remove all of the monsters beneath my bed
And help me count the stars from my bedroom window
Ever since I could remember he was leading me on the straight and narrow
Keeping my head on straight too
One day I contemplated killing a frog and he was there to convict me
He said to me, “No! That frog is my friend! How would you feel if I did that to
you?”
He was right again, always keeping me on the straight and narrow
He was even with me during years of child abuse
Comforting me as I was stowed away in a cold musty basement
He comforted me with an incredible imagination
I never had a single nightmare
As I slept in that cold dark room with no furniture
No, not a single nightmare!
He would bring me dreams of flying and killing dinosaurs all through the night
He was my Lord and Savior and he knew exactly what to do for me
He entertained me in so many ways
Then it was time to go to kindergarten and mom couldn’t hide me any longer
It was out of the basement and into a single room with a single mattress
The entire world was now beginning to open up to me
Here I was now 5 years old and rescued by my grandmother
She was then allowed to pick me up every Sunday for Sunday school
Oh she was my knight in shining armor sent by Jesus
She brought me to a place where I received unconditional love
She became the most important person in my life from that point on
She always pointed me back to my super hero—that was JESUS!
Now that I am older and have three kids of my own
My superhero is still right beside me
Guiding, instructing, and entertaining my creativity
He is all I have ever needed all along
He is my heart’s song!
He is my Jesus!
So if you also want a super hero in your life allow me to give you some great
advice
Call upon the name of Jesus and he will see you through anything
He is the reason for my hope
He is the reason for my existence
He is the jump in my rope
He is my Lord!

My personal testimony of my super hero
Nothing is impossible for my God!

I watch the morning rise with splendor in the sky and the calm sea running towards me echoing the voice of optimism. It is the voice that you hear when you cleared the cliff and you stand on the hill and look at the depth from which you rise and the pain suddenly disappears.
So calm is the sea with its bosom spreading all over me and sunlight spilling an array of passion from above hitting on clear blue waters. I can feel the rays of hope all over me and the waters leading me on leaving evidence of footprints in the sand, and the sea and I become one.
We rode all day on the sea whispering in each other’s ears and screaming above the flattened wave, we giggled and laugh aloud spewing water in each other’s mouth, we were like children again holding on to each others like old friends with the innocence of truth trembling on our lips and the writhing rhythm moving in our hips and the silent music contracts with the bliss and we kept sailing on.
Night has almost fallen and the stars and moon brightens up the sky and we move to a place of solitude covering fists, and holding hands while our boats slowly meander out in the deep and reminiscence in the vast blue ocean.
It is the part of me that you cannot see when my heart bubbles with the sediments of the ocean and the openness from the heavens sprinkles hope of happiness below in the stillness of joy.
I can hear the echoes in the fathomless sea of one crying for his lost sheep, I can connect with the pain of that nerve racking shame and I searched for something to hold onto and there you were right beside me holding my hands and listening to the voices crying out in the foams.
The vastness of the sea comes alive and fish were riding by our side, the whales too were having fun but the great big sharks were on the run and our boat kept moving on.
We traveled half way around the world with the stars hanging above our head with the moon light gallivanting in our bed but the bosom of the sea keeps us warm.
Come and ride with me and the discover the wealth of the great big sea.
If I fall to my knees Lord, and call on your love
Your wings will surround and I’m a hand in your glove
Though the storm rages fierce, though who
I know turn away still your face is toward
Me it is brighter than day
I feel the rush of conviction, as your power
Rips through. My tongue is loosened,
My mind filled. Lord this is all just of you!
Through the shadows of this world Lord
I am allowed to discern, some of the road we
Must travel, Lord the rest I must learn
Leaning only on you Lord, following close
Behind, on the path you have trodden
There’s none other to find
On this path of no turning, I am hemmed not by you
But hedges of evil where I shouldn’t break through
Though they catch on my garment, though
They threaten my skin, I must hold to
Your promise, as I’m passing thorough sin
For your leading me on Lord, On the path
Narrow so.' Where only one can travel
Where you lead I will go.
It’s so straight and close Lord, here
We can be alone; I can tell you my doubts
Lord as you remove that hard stone
I would learn of such patience, I would learn of
Your toil, in the garden of earth Lord
Where you raised me from soil
Lead me on, on this straight road
On the road that you made, as you
Walked out from Pilate
To the cross and that grave
Then you entered into hell Lord and so
Many rejoiced; you brought life to
The hopeless and those dead raised
Their voice.
They called you their master, and the
Victor o’er all, Lord your strength
Never falters, in the Fathers at all
Now you sit at His right hand, right there at
His side, and the spirit is here; soon we will be
All one Lord ' when you take you your bride.!

The blue rays of the moon above me
Shower me with hope of the surely stormy sea
And the shine help breaks through the darkness and lets me see
But the sight is nearly more that my heart can bear too be
All of them all holding hands in a linked circle feeling free
Their eyes lit up with images of only me
But I am not in the circle they’ve created
And from this fact no one seems the least bit agitated
A tear falls from my face, for the music I could never create
The haunting melody sings my lonely soul to sleep
But when I think it to much to bear
I open my eyes to see them all standing there
With their faces all lit up with happiness
It is so unusual to see such bliss
But they smile and grab my hand, leading me on
And they laugh at my confused smile that has grown
Guiding my footsteps until we reach the destination
The moon is still there, so no more contemplation
And the melody that has been haunting me through my mind
Finally escapes through the colorless keys I will find
My music carried them away to the place where I am
The darkness evaporated; there was no more sham
The giddiness overtook me and I too leapt up to dance
The feeling of the moon put us all into a trance
The creaky boards that made our shoes tap and click
Was as sure as the song that made our souls tick
And always I look to the moonlit sky for the joy of that dance
Wonder if it could again sweep me off for a chance
And one night it happened, so swiftly it came
And as I remembered it, it was all the same
They still laugh beneath the beautiful magnificence of the light
They dance in the moon; all through the dead of night

You hurt me
you threw me out
i asked you how you felt
you lied to me
you said you loved me
then turned your back on me
I loved you
I hurt too
All i wanted was to dance
Just once with you
Then you drove a knife
in to the heart that was
once yours
then over text
you told me how you felt
told me how
you lied
that you were just leading me on
that you will never love me back
i understood that
but you drove the knife deeper
you could have let me go
or told me in the beginning
so i would never feel the way i feel
i was blind
to who you really were
i was blind on how horrible you were
how disrespectful you were
you called my friend a moron
i will never forgive you
i'm glad i realized it
before it was to late
i hate you
i HATE you
i fell
for your smile
for your actions
for who you were
i should have known
that this would have happened
you homophobic prick
you piece of ****
i thought i could trust you
Not anymore
i will never love you
or be friends with you
you disrespected me and my friends
i will never forgive you
you said we could still be friends
but even if we were still friends
i would hate you
i would never forgive you
i'm hurt because of you
you were so sweet
just leave me be
i don't talk crap about you
i talk ****
there is a difference
if you don't want that
tell me
say you don't want me
to talk **** about you
not crap
LEAVE ME ALONE
i'm hurt
but most of all
i will never trust you
i hate you
I
HATE
YOU!
It's been a few days now since I thought of you
But my recent poetry to you is still true
This one will be a bit of a different view
And maybe with a sassy attitude...
Chris you've always meant a lot to me
But I feel like you don't take what I say seriously
I'll try & break it down the best way it can be
I feel like you give me a lot of false hope
And that a lot of what I say you just ghost
You have a tendency to be inconsistent with me
And lately I'm looking for consistency
I would except consistency even as a friend -
Or if not a friend, I'd expect it with something entirely different with me
And you're leading me to believe that:
(a) You're just playing games & it ain't what it seems to be
(b) You don't want me - yet from him, too, you want me to be free
(c) You're deliberately leading me on, just to retreat us entirely
I'd like someday for OUR intentions to be clear
'Cause I won't move back if it's our last relationship in the mirror
This time around, I'd rather do BIG things with you & start anew
A clean easel for both me & you
I wanna put the work in this time to create something with you
I don't need games, alligator tears, or more wasted & pointless years
I'm tired of all the two-faced fakeness & I'm sick of the unknown fears
This time I'm approaching it a whole other way
'Cause if you decide this time around to give me a second chance
Just watch -
'Cause I'm gonna slay our second romance
If you have a need to call me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to talk to someone
Who has been there once before
Don’t worry about imposing
If you have a text message you want to send
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to hug me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to simply be held tight
When you feel like falling to the floor
Don’t worry about mixed messages
You’re afraid that it might send
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to kiss me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need to feel good inside
As verification that you’re adored
Don’t worry about teasing me
If the kiss is where you know it must end
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
If you have a need to sleep with me
I won’t read into it any more
Than the need for a night of passion
When there’s no lover for you to score
Don’t worry about leading me on
And feeling like you now have to pretend
I want to be there to help you out
Any time you need a friend
But, if you want me to read much more
In these actions that you take
If you wonder why I don’t pick up on the clues
And worry that my friendship is just a fake
Simply tell me you want me to be
Much more than just your friend
And I’ll be glad to be much more for you
Never to wear these restraints again
Straight Path
We all start off somewhere
On a path, maybe not so good,
Sometimes we don’t understand
Or see life in ways we should.
This life is full of hardships
Temptation is all around,
A lost feeling overcomes you
Only yearning to be found.
Searching for something up and down
Forgetting to look inside,
You realize that you’ve been wrong
You turn to Allah and cry.
See, some of us are lucky
We’re put on a path that’s straight,
We try so hard to please Allah
Our only savior, who’s so great.
We have a certain way of life
Which is better than the rest,
We strive to achieve a wonderful goal
Paradise- Life which comes next.
To prove our worth in faith
We are given so many trials,
I think the one who is the best
Is he who thanks Allah and smiles.
This life is nothing but a test
A short visit, a temporary stay,
Enjoining good, forbidding bad
Thanking Allah for everyday.
Each day, a chance to earn good deeds
Erasing the wrongs of our past,
Preparing for something better
The next life which will forever last.
I’m still thanking Allah each moment
For helping me find my way,
For leading me on a path that’s right
From the one that was so astray.
Everyday more grateful
That the one that past before,
Heading to an amazing place
Excited to see what’s in store.
So try your best to obey Allah
In the hereafter you will see,
The gardens of paradise is ever lasting
Allah willing, that’s where I’ll be.
