An Oathbound lil child
Chasing dreams wild
Unflappable in stress
Still has to deal with mess
And that mess is me
Still yearns for you to fly not flee
Imperfections meet perfections
My heart knows, you take actions
Blindness takes me over
But can't see you hover
All your hurt to me and my fortune to you
You made my love come true
My beloved enchanted
Never took you for granted
Alas! My heart is fragile
And you're a little more agile
I took it as a curse
In quiet measures it got worse
I was stuck in that black hole
Darkened with every role
But why would I let my mishandling make you suffer?
Between you and your dreams, a buffer
Your life quietly aligns
Amid me and my whines
But but but, it all got unraveled
When I made my pieces together travelled
And then comes a wave of rapture
Dew kissed my heart capture
My heart aches for all the soreness I gave thee
But now these scars sets free.
All the misfortune and evil eyes flee
And again our soul sparks glee.
I had a lot of time to think. If you ask what about; the list consists of a few page…. Is there really anything that I can say, that’ll make you want to return my call or send a hay?
See that’s for horses and it’s been a ride. I’ve finally picked apart my own thoughts and put my pride aside. You were right, and I was wrong. I should’ve been nicer, you had good intentions all along. I guess it didn’t feel that way from where I stood. Truly an enigma, in my bed lies misunderstood.
I’m far from okay and about three blocks from good. I ponder over things that lead me to your neck of the woods. Labeled trespass. I trust past…events where all things are fine.
I wonder if the thought of me could ever cross your eyes. As I dot my tees and close my mind. I see no evil but I hear your cries.
Losing hope. Side effect of losing who? You were always what I meant to C. A lot of things led me back to where’d you B. Everything about this got me scrambled up. I fail to touch…Apart of your soul that’ll see this time isolated was fair enough. You’ve had it rough.
And

And
Who willfully enters this
beautiful land
Of misunderstandings
Its pallor a depth increased
Beyond the azure sky
the dawn a deceptive gathering
of propagated meanings
A tapestry in patois proverbial greetings
The façade in umbrage of
The Hierophants sagacious pleadings
He will leave a different man
But not alive
This-
This tableau of
Mental images, of
Fixed scenes, this
“Battle of Egos” is
Relentlessly looping
In my mind.
An annual gathering of kith and kin
Created a backdrop of statue-like characters
Blindly unaware of a
Crisis stirring.
Off to the side, there are the mothers,
Pillars of love for their sons,
Paralyzed with the knowledge that they are helpless,
Helpless as they watch
The conflict unfolding.
There-
There are the Fathers and Sons-
Distant and deaf to each other, who, in their inability to Set aside their own sense of rightness and wrongness,
Reach a point of no return.
A plea, from one, is given, but seen as a
Challenge from the other, and the whole
Facade of civility collapses.
With faces frozen and actions rigid,
Rage and resolve coalesce.
Fearful and dauntless, fathers confront sons and sons their fathers, and in that absolute moment
Familial roles shift.
Everything - everything is different, yet
Nothing changes.
Rooted and unmoved, egos remain.
So much is lost.
Nothing-
Nothing is gained.
are the spice of life?

I Did Not Mean To Offend You
I Say This With Regret
I Have The Highest Regard For You
… Admire With Deep Respect
I Would Never Insult You
Or Belittle, Or Upset
Not Knowingly, Nor Callously
My Affection and You … Have Met
So, If Our Paths Cross, or Get Lost
Please Forgive, If You Can’t Forget
For The Words Of Your Soul ( Now Silent and Cold )
Still Haunt Me … Even Yet …
"Never once had he felt so bad."
The man told his good friend
"I don't know what happened, I'm sad"
His friend thought he had seen the end
What happened then, that night before
He had been talking to someone else
But after the fact his friend made him sore
He wanted him all to himself
No bad intentions, no leading on
It's not the thing of those two
Please don't say that either was wrong
It's just uncertainty of heart and mind played through
The man told his friend after making a vow,
"I'm sorry, with ALL my heart"
"But I didn't think you wanted it now..."
"...Like you wanted it from the start"
"It's not your class or status,"
"Or the importance of your job"
"It's what you wanted for yourself and us"
"You're heart was locked when I turned the knob"
"Don't take this wrong, don't take it hard"
"I feel it's for the best"
"It's what you wanted in relationship status, to your heart no disregard"
"It's not being used nor is it a test."
Don't smell me through ambushing ears
Don't listen to me with glaring eyes
Don't look at me in that tone of voice
Don't taste me with such rash fingers
Don't touch me with an insensitive mind
Don't perceive me through a shriveled nose
Because these sensations
Lead to effortless interpretations
