Black on good
Touches his manhood
Like a mother should
Thinks it should be in a museum
For God and good
Joey, dreamlike
Always plays it cool
Keeps a gun tucked
Fourteen carat
Sideways dude
Mississippi, likes the rap
Urban cowboy
Got a holster with a flap
Just call me Missi
With an I
The first to die
Deals going down
Going down good
Expansion is the mood
Big time around the bend
Not now but when
Time to ascend
Hit the new den 
Death was quick for Missi
With an I
No fast draw
Urban cowboy
Shot in both eyes
Joey heard the scream
Through the dream
Pulled from the tuck
Kill you all
Shot off his balls
Sideways fall
Black on good
Like a brother
Felt their pain
Shot trying to save
Respect 
Got his final wish
Passed the Museum to his grave.

The Little Girl who learned to love Lightening


When Gabriella was 5 there was a terrifying storm.
She woke up and screamed as loud as she could.
No-one answered so she ran into her parent’s bedroom.
Her Mother and Father were hiding under the bed.
Gabriella crawled under the bed with them.
All night the lightening crashed and seemed to be very close to their house.
Some thing strange happened to Gabriella that night.
She looked at her Parents who were still terrified and smiled.
She then crawled out from the bed and went to her own room.
Her Mother told her to come back but she didn’t listen.
Little Gabriella stood next to her bedroom window and watched the storm.
She could see the Lightening striking in the distance.
Although she was a little scared she couldn’t run.
She was mesmerised by the Rain the Storm and the Lightening.
She was even a little sad when the Sun came out and the Storm was over.
To get through the night she sang a little song to help.

“I have my hands in my pockets, right to the End,
I love the Lightening  like a brother and a friend.
Oh I love the Lightening like a brother and a friend.”
For Gabriella Time danced by like a ballerina.
Before she knew it she was 18 and in love.
She meet Simon at College and went everywhere with him.
They used to finish each other’s sentences and laugh.
One night Simon was driving Gabriella home and there was a terrible storm.
A kangaroo startled by the lightening jumped in front of the car.
Simon swerved to miss the Kangaroo and went into a ditch.
It was raining heavily and both of them were unconscious.
Gabriella opened her eyes and saw Lightening crashing around her.
She tried to wake Simon but couldn’t.
She could see that his head was bleeding.

Gabriella climbed out of the car and walked slowly threw the storm.
It was dark and frightening but she decided to sing,
“I have my hands in my pockets, right to the End,
I love the Lightening  like a brother and a friend.
Oh I love the Lightening....
Before she could finish singing  a car pulled over and the driver offered her a lift.
In hospital Simon thanked Gabriella for saving him.
He told her how brave he thought she was.
She said you’ll be fine if you face the Storm with a song.

Premium Member Modern Day Found Family

My baby's never got to be insecure.
Truth is he is the only one I want to nurture.
My neighbours are just my found family.
My only friends where I live here really.

My home girl is more like a mother figure,
My former home boy was like a father figure,
My two friends are each more like a brother,
My other gals are just each like a sister.

My building is where I feel the least lonely.
My love is why I am now even more happy.
My life is not always the most lovely.
My homies are the ones who make it lively.

My love life is so much better than before.
My love loves me back like it isn't a chore.
Even as I spend time with them, I'll love him,
For with him, life will never again feel grim.

Premium Member Seeking


I sought Him in the twinkling eyes
Of a kind and gentle soul
One who showed their insight
Into whispers of faith and hope
One who shared their joy
Their warmth, gentleness and courage
One who listened to the yearning
For a vibrant love who appreciated
The light that heaven sent

I sought Him in the warmth
Of an empty bottle where pain lurked
There amid the shiny laughter
Bidding adieu to the anticipation
The expectation of a friend who would be
Like a brother, so sure and wise,
He would look me in the eyes and smile
Promising that with the drinking
There would be the sincere inkling
Of music that would surprise
With its inspirational voice, its life

I sought Him in the thrills
The excitement of dreams coming true
Bringing confidence and promise
Felt by the heart who was optimistic
Believing that these adventures
Could rouse the heart from its tranquility
Bring alive the assurance of forever
Where He left my heart’s yearning to believe
He would be found when I would seek
With all my heart, mind and spirit
With everything that I could feel

I sought Him in the sadness
Where I felt like there was madness
Through the shadows of doubt and pain
Amid the sorrows that life would bring
In the worries, regrets and disappointments
Where I never had thought to look before
It was there that I discovered more
Love than I had ever hoped for
More peace than my mind could imagine
More comfort that I had ever known

I sought Him during the good times
But found Him when I was at my worst
It was there, amid prayers for relief
That I discovered His kindness, His peace
The way He would silence the screams
Of a pain that longed to destroy me
It was there, in the worst, when I found
The answer to my prayers, my hunger
For a God who is louder than thunder
He brings grace to the one who is in need
Frees the spirit from its sin and disbelief
Reminds us that He shares the opportunity
To listen to His advice, overcome our strife
And learn to really live and grow through this life!

This God is a God of peace
And He fulfills my every need!
All I had to do was believe!

Wholeheartedly a Love

He sometimes seems more like my mother... 
Sometimes like my father... 
Sometimes like my brother... 
And 
Sometimes like my heart's core?

He is amazing... 
It's not easy for him to stand even after facing so many things... 
"God, please give him eagle wings..."

He is strong... 
It's not easy for him to nurture a girl even he is a child... 
"God, please give him tungsten shield..." 

He is mature... 
It's not easy for him to take care of me as her daughter... 
" God, please never let his happiness fall too shorter... "

He is more like a mother to me when I behave like child...
More like a father when I want someone to support... 
More like a brother when I want protection... 
And 
More like a partner when I need more love in life... 
That's why he is special to me...
Enough for giving love in one life of mine... 
I'm not asking you to give him to me for next 7 years... 
Just give him my happiness of next 7 years...
Enough for me...
Give every kind of love, care to him..

TRUE FRIENDSHIP

VERSE 1

A friend is as much like a brother or sister
A ride or die, just like a soulmate
A leaning shoulder in times of distress
A true friend is always loyal and 
Reliable even in times of loses or trials.

CHORUS

A true friendship is positive and elevating
Not negative and draining!!! It's the Anchor 
That picks us up when down in the valley.

VERSE 2

A true friend is Royal, so precious
Just like a Diamond, so rare and bright
With all lights leading to his/her heart
Showing the intentions and purpose
With every smiles and actions 
Reflecting how precious the bond is.

CHORUS
A true friendship is positive and elevating
Not negative and draining!!! It's the ship that
takes us to our destination without betrayals.

VERSE 3

Unconditional love is the very spice 
The spice of preservation for it's enduring
and never ending for what is true never dies
And what doesn't lies there's light and 
Where there's light insight is assured
For insights enhance growth or bond.

CHORUS

A true friendship is positive and elevating
Not negative and draining!!! It's the path that 
Leads us to the light not astray. 

VERSE 4

I would write from now until eternity
Still words can't comprehend true friendship
For it's priceless, not bargainable but buildable
With Respect over disrespect, selflessness over selfishness
Loyalty over royalty, cooperation over competition
Encouragement over discouragement and by
Sharing Common interests and goals. 
CHORUS
A true friendship is positive and elevating
Not negative and draining!!! It's a thing for 
the brave not mediocre.

Premium Member -Elfin Faced Boy

I think back to the days
Of that elfin faced boy
Sweet , funny and a little coy

Like a brother to mine
A second son
Lasting memories 
Of good times and fun

Two boys playing
Innocent and carefree
Full of life and promise
For who they will be

From boys to men
Decent and strong 
Finding their place
Where they belong

The elfin faced boy
Now has a child of his own
To love and protect
Until he has grown

He now has a beautiful boy
His reason everyday
Forever to teach and guide him
To help him find his way

Your child’s life will be wonderful
Full of happiness and joy
A good man he will become
Being raised by the elfin faced boy!

Love Test

Where do you lay yourself to rest?
Why it is the world every day has to be a test.
I awake and see the sun anew.
If only I could wake beside you?
To look at the world that as a child I once knew.
When people helped each other.
When strangers treated each other like a brother.
To walk the pavement never in fear.
That safe world has been gone now many a year.
My mother my father now long gone.
In the world they live now do they think about their son?
I love to live I live to one day die.
I have lived a long time 
I never learned how not to be shy.
When I see a woman I long for her in my dream.
But she doesn’t long for me so it would seem.
Although I am regarded a Gent
I try to show it to others by being  intelligent.
But no one no woman likes personas I fear.
That’s why I am alone year after year.
And there comes a time when you have to say enough.
When goodness and beauty is only a scam.
Because it’s inside I know who and what I am.
I am the best the greatest of all.
I will caress you and catch you whenever you fall.
I will always be on time I am on the ball.
And I will be there to hold you.
When all your hard work goes to the wall.
Because you know in your heart.
I am the greatest of all.
To know me is to love me.
That is a guarantee.
The one thing If you trusted me!
You would agree.
So tell me you miss me when I am away.
And when we are in each others embrace.
I will make it seem like Christmas for you every day.
To touch you to kiss you your lips are like fire.
Every waking moment its You I desire.
So your body is warm my heart it aches
I only want you to love me all through the days.
Is it a true saying love grows stronger.
As our hearts grow ever fonder.
To lay your head on my pillow.
My lips I put to yours.
Two adults as lovers.
Who let nature take its course?
To Love without question.
Is to be always with passion.
In years to come to love the same.
To always keep your mind on me.
To always make you know that you are free.
If you need to walk?  We will always be friends and talk.
No bitterness no just to be sweet.
Always open always truth.
Between me and you.
So this is a declaration of love.
Would this always be enough?

He Never Did Mind

Hand consuming my infantile thigh
Ten years his junior
I cried and begged
No
I knew not why 
Mother said not to touch there
He never did mind

Temptress from a young age
I ran in the backyard
Brothers telling me to put on a shirt
I was three
He never did mind

“Kiss the people you love
You love me don’t you?”
He was like a brother to me
I was four 
He never did mind

Neither and either
Two words I could spell
Impressively so, on the way to the beach
I was five
He never did mind

Sick with the flu
Soup brought to my bed
Missing the spaghetti dinner
I was six
He never did mind 

Hand consuming my infantile thigh
Ten years his junior
I cried and begged
No
I knew not why 
Mother said not to touch there
I was seven
He never did mind

Premium Member DRAMATICS BEYOND

No Spotlight
No Stage
No audience
Straight out words
Life itself
Confusing and complexing
Drawbacks with a mysterious wonder
Sometimes impossible to bare
Forced possible to go through
Unforeseen
Death of a friend
Like a brother
Died in a car crash on Highway 707
Around Firestone Valley, car descends below in instant death
I weep
Crying river tears
Torn page ripped out of life
Discontinued Chapters never to see
Life seems unfair
How will I ever recover?
Wounds cut deep
Alone with my only soul to Keep
My mind thinks, but no true answers in how I will go on
Loss in my own demise of words
Thinking that my friend died in the flesh but lives in the spirit
Holy land soar
Feel alone with a lonely sensation
Yet, I am not alone as my friend’s spirit surrounds me and he is looking down on me
His death is a finale, but my heart will always remember
My mission to live on until my friend and I meet again.
