The one room apartment,
The couch that we shared.
We could never make rent,
900's not fair.
To two dead broke kids,
In a half-dead town.
We want to make it,
But we don't know how.
Work scrapes by,
The day drags on.
Records, the only thing we own.
Sing cracked on a player,
So old and so true.
The singer cries out,
"It was nice waking up next to you."
The one room apartment,
The one we don't own.
But your sea sick smile,
Screams home sweet home.

Why I love you
It is a kind of question
Ask by people that
Why I love you I have a
Answer why she smiles
When my heart beat like
Puzzle pieces of cake
When the day playing with
The waiting for our kids
When would I see a dolls for
My baby princess and tell
The stories of this day
When I was thinking
Why I love you my dear
Anxiously waiting for buying
Dolls and play with a smile to tell her
why I love you
With love all

Brown eyed beautiful lady, dark skin glistening as the sun there shines. sweet smile, glorious eyes, making a cake with a beautiful smile, icing on her nose she laughs for a while, laughing and smiling like kids at play, the day well spent with a brown eyed beautiful lady. New year to remember, as the sun gave way its glistening shine, shining on her beauty divine, pretty as the morning, I look as she comes through the door, I stare in the moment, she captivates me like an angel, I get lost even farther as I look in the eyes of the brown eyed beautiful lady

L is for the unconditional love and happiness you have brought.
Ever since you entered my life everything has been wonderful,
You have brought sunshine and smiles.
The first day we met you lit up my world,
And I knew you were the one.
I am so glad that you have entered my life,
Because if you didn’t my life would be so dark.
You are my ray of sunshine,
My happiness.
I can’t wait to start a family with you,
So our kids can have that sunshine that you give.
Thank You for being a great husband and a great best friend,
And I can’t wait for the years to come.
Because of you baby L is for unconditional love and happiness.

Spanish rose I suppose you are unique
With that attitude Our future looks bleak
A fragrant rose of ?? red is what I think
When I look at you my heart begins to beat
Our hearts draw closer to each other like slow moving magnets
My Spanish Rose for you I live I love you so much and I shall love our future kids
Words cannot began to express the depth of my love for you & you are my queen you are my glue, which keeps me together in one piece in those times & moments where I cannot find peace, eternal sunshine when you’re around I will love you until I hit the ground, your sweetest voice is the most soothing sound, Spanish rose i am your man you are my rib like If I were Adam...

You're a dirty skank whore
You're a dirty skank whore.
Skankin' around the neighborhood,
Everybody knows you're up to no good
You're a dirty skank whore
You're a smelly dishrag
Yeah, you're a smelly dishrag.
The boys know to go to you
When they want to cure their blues
Cuz you're a smelly dishrag.
You've got diseases
Yeah you've got diseases.
When you spread your legs at the clinic
The doctor said 'the f*ck's been in this?'
You've got diseases
Cuz you took a poz load.
Yeah you took a poz load.
The dude swore that he was clean.
Now you've got HIV,
Cuz you took a poz load.
You're broke with five kids.
Yeah, you're broke with five kids.
Two weeks till your welfare's done
You should've just became a nun.
Cuz you're broke with five kids.

My mind remember the days
when we rarely were afar
my heart is filled with all those years
that we have spent apart
my lips remember times
when I felt your tender kiss
my spirit remember the days
when we were just two young kids
my eyes remember when
your smile made my day
my thoughts reflect on days
when we were young and carefree
two hearts filled with humor
we shared laughter many days
my soul is filled with memories
of what drove two souls away
my ears remember the times
when you called me sweetheart
my body remember the days
when your touch was all I thought
six days to remember
all the love that we shared
all the gaps in the years
six days to remember
you will finally be here.

Shrouded in quixotic mist
Rolling fields of emerald green
Land carved by coral blue
Simply, ineffable
The chatoyant stream flows
Water shifting, mellifluous and giving
The glammour of the alblaster chalky frame
Impeccably, unstained
An ingenue and I, together we played
Those simpler times catching fish all day
Two wide-eyed kids, "ridin' the waves"
Blissfully, unaware
With grace and demure; yet cynosure of none
Lissome as a fox, my childhood one
Twinkling cinnamon gaze and panacea smile
Beauty, unrivaled
Shrouded in quixotic mist
Where the lily petals dance
Dreamily solaceful
Infinite, sempiternal
Unforgettable
Her face
Unforgettable
That place

Note: this poem is a response to Silent One's "Unforgettable" 10-word challenge.
Many thanks for the support, mate!

The cheating love
You know how we are deep into the sea of love
Like Salt doesn't cheat the water of sea sand doesn't cheat the depth of sea
Like fire doesn't cheat the wood and like clouds doesn't cheat to be rain.
I am A cluster bean when I start on you
I am a cluster bean when I lick on you
I am a cluster bean when I press on you
It's a sensation of love to be dirty as now you are given a token of your love what? your emptiness give me seduction of our past feel of our each breath.
You made me lord of love when you stop me with a jerk of hands but I mind my feelings can cry for what you know?
Our witness is the place the rooms the pillows the bed the fragrance the TV the batch the dustbin the shower the food which has been ordered and it was our love of our used condom....... Hello romantic time with me not for kids
With love all

I'm open for you, emotionally
chained I'm a slave for you. Love is
an action word so be patient and
just watch What I do, I'm all in No
poker face we're bound by grace
but I know in my heart this is our
last first date. You can't escape or
run away from how you feel, and
I'm done running away from you,
for better or worse even when love
hurts he took nine inch nails for me
so for you you I'll return the favor
but until then I savour this moment,
put you on display like show and tell
I just wanna tell the world this is the
woman I been waiting for, my wife,
my rib, yes the one God told me he
had for me this is her. I'm seeing
20/20 and you're the one I'll throw
away this night life for, for that
Christ like life we'll share together I
need you more and more. One wife
one husband two kids one life,
threw prayer I sought God for you
and I'm proud to have such an
amazing woman to share this world
with unashamed in Christ.

I remember the times…
I came early only to stand at a distance and watch
You waiting for me, fidgeting with your hair
Frowning because I was late.
I remember the times…
I thought about all the stories to tell
When you were around, whiling time
To see that you-good-for-nothing smile.
I remember the times…
I danced all alone, holding your hand
Practicing every step with care
Wanting it to be perfect the first time.
I remember the times…
We fought like the kids on the road
Teased each other with everything we know
Cursing and swearing as we went back home.
I remember the times…
You told me you could never love that guy
A false sense of satisfaction washing my heart
As you held my hand and did cry.
I remember the times…
He walked into your life, and asked for you
You looked into my eyes, sought my advice
And then walked out of mine.
I remember the times…
You came clean with all your lies
You lowered your eyes.
You kissed me and said the worst of all goodbyes.

‘Twere a foolish youth indeed
that ne’er his parents’ voice would heed.
“We hear you’re courting Mary Lue.
Dump that flirt, what e’er you do!
Once you’re wed, she’ll run you down.
Her name is known throughout the town.”
Alack! O woe! O Sorrow’s pang
upon the morn those church bells rang!
No altar’s blessing could subdue
the direful glares that came to view.
Of a nightmare I must tell,
the very sort that springs from Hell.
Mary Lue met loathsome Jake,
a drunkard, gambler and a rake.
A distraught husband roamed the dark
and met a couple in the park.
With one fell blow he struck Jake dead.
Panic-stricken, off he fled.
Now strapped tight to a certain chair,
he endured his parents’ stare
through a slot of perspex glass.
A priest in black arrived at last..
Will this nightmare never end?
Angels and ministers of grace defend!
When he awoke , what should he view
but his two bonny kids by Mary Lue!
From the kitchen came a song.
‘Twas Mary Lue in voice full strong.
‘Twere a foolish youth indeed
who ne’er his pleading heart would heed.

In the park she sits on the bench
Her man is a romantic, not French
They met at a get together
Now they bonded forever.
After 2 decades they are still in love
Although life has treated them rough
Many years of hell
They have so much to tell
After many years they are still in love
They suit each other like a glove.
Their love for one another
Makes them adore each other.
Kids all grown up and gone
Now they live alone
It is like living on a thrown
Now that they are alone
She sees him walking down the street
On him she will never cheat
Many years ago, she made a vow
In life with him she will plough
Their future looks bright
They are now living in the light
He sees her, the prettiest girl
To him she is his Pearl
A kiss on the lips
And into his grip, she slips
At the end of the day
Going home is the only way
To be with his wife
Whom he will love all his life
Lying next to her in bed
He lays and strokes her head
Lying next to her
He feels like a connoisseur.

Life is the truth, and humans are the lies
All people are the same but different in size
We forget about hi’s when we say our goodbyes
We all have lives and we all have dies
At the end of each path there’s always a surprise
The best life is lived by those who are wise
I feel what’s felt and hear any cries
But can never see a corrupt life… in your eyes
Bad things in life are sharper than knives
Love like yours seem to make wives
Past is the past, we regret what we did
My feelings for you will never be hid
If you auction your heart, then mines the bid
Do the world for you, so I’ll never get rid
Of what I see in your eyes, us with kids
Ringed together of course, of course
I’ll never regret this or feel remorse
With the world in love, you’re my only source
Never thou shalt I never, control you with force
I love you over all, because all endorse
In your eyes my path is clear, and so is our course
Together we be and must we stay
Whoever loved like “we”, must have died away
The 1st in heart, we pioneers of love
We’ll love forever, even when were above
What we feel in our hearts will never be a heist
But in your eyes we are paradise

It was in times past of twenty something years, on a radio her voice appeared. A beautiful sound as she spoke to me, my heart melted and became happy. Twas the day I met her, I fell in love, it will last forever and thats not enough. Beautiful, brown haired girl, bow in her hair and short she was, brown eyes glowing, beautiful as the morning sun. Two wonderful children and I had none. Baby dolls and matchbox cars the kids there played, kick ball and chase and hide and go seek, were the games we played most of the week. Tiny little dark skinned girl like my own daughter she was my world. She is grown now so beautiful and nice, I watched her grow fom a distance and space, seems I never could replace her in my heart like a daughter. Little brother running about, toy cars at a run sounding like a cycle, legs moving fast as lightening, round and round he went wide open all day till the day was spent. My son in my heart, but I have more, I have 3 sons living in my heart. Time is passing with everyday and time will take me away and be able to see no more the faces I love and will always adore. Could time bring her back and thus restore a lost love of mine that I had to hide,.......I cry.....love hides.....I die inside.....will time bring her back ? ................I sigh......

Read The Mind of the Thunder
By: Feb Francisca Chaves
For everything in the string couldn't even able to pluck the deaf to a harp.
In the single dropping of a note and pitch to teach for that to come up a melody.
Wagner's Die Walküre fit to match of the Nazis Fighter Plane,
Never guess the torpedo would be the medicine you taste for you to be insane.
Eyes spark of greed of power and obsession on Nazi Fanatics, was also my favorite.
Disappointing that you switch your choice to the group of fascist swine.
Rather than to give Hitler a speech about the perfect rhymes of a war crime.
Not knowing what music he would hear when he double cross the deal of the red army
Hammer and sickle for farmers and worker that united as one,
What about the problem of hundreds of tank versus the thousands of guns.
Good news Nazis break the Soviet peace deal, pretty sure vodka doesn't heal.
Mind of a dictator deserve to sip tea rather than bullet to heat on kettle.
Jews been been baked and burn, not just hundred but swipe off dead.
Echoing pain from camp that lead their nightmare and chaos.
Every blood that marked their tears doesn't trade their lost.
Even a grand of trees doesn't grow the flourish land of Stalingrad.
All winter felt pain in the midst of cold,
Does kids never heard a story at night that their dad ever told.
Too bad lots of father and son holding only courage with rifle and gun.
Not other men are survive or even return their home and some of them are gone.

Okay so here we are again the holiday season upon us approaching and an end to another
year
Most people are happy and children filled with such Christmas cheer
For me in my present times my emotions for the season just can't be sincere
My kids are so far out of state and they won't be here
The man I'm deeply in love with isn't near
While most are hungry for a traditional Christmas dinner and pumpkin pie
I'm here forcing myself not to and will not allow myself to cry
It's his eyes that I need to gaze so lovingly into, that is for what I'm famished
The years apart and the miles between us never caused our love in any way to diminish
Holding my kids tightly is something I miss so much
Oh how I wish they were here so I could see their sweet smiling faces and such
All I see upon closing my eyes is my reaching out to them, and them reaching back to me, I
long so badly for each and everyone of their touch
So while people are listening to the church bells ringing
Carolers that go door to door with their Christmas songs that they will be singing
And to the New Year everyone soon will be in their homes and hearts bringing
I'll be right here wishing on a miracle or two
It could happen you know and something good is just bound to happen soon
I keep my faith, and I open my heart, soul, and mind up and try very hard everyday in
every way to keep right on pushing through
I want to wish a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and a very Happy
New Year to all of you
God Bless each and everyone may all your dreams come true

Nights have never been this long
Talk of the right gone wrong
It's a week but it seems a year long
Guess I lied when I said we dont belong
I've been singing songs, lots of love songs
I miss you so much, I miss you more
Teardrops on my pillow
In sadness I wallow
I want to take a walk and follow
Too bad I know not where you at
Set your conditions there will be no 'buts'
I just need you back, I need you bad
It's like am going nuts, can't think straight
Am feeling weak, am so faint
I own up, I was wrong just one more chance
This time we can make it, got plans
Forget all the haters, forget the world
This time let's just make it us
Peace, no more fights
Just a few more steps I see the light
Hold me tight dont let go
My love is for real, my love is for sure
I badly need your hug
I surely feel the weight of my act
I won't say to err is to human
I just wanna say am sorry, I wanna be you man
You be the boss tell me what you want
I'll serve it hot, I'll serve you love
Aint promising the whole world
But am promising romance
I love you more than life
You know that is right
For me you are the one, I dont need to test
A beautiful flower in a thick forest
A happy ending in a tale of sorrow
Let's make the most of today because there aint a tomorrow
Let's be content with what we got, we dont need to borrow
We dont need another person's teachings to follow
So we cultivate what we got
We'll soon harvest our crop
All we need is to believe
Trust, no more deceit
We lead by example, new kids on the block
We walk our talk
A new beginning for us
Come back we belong

They said it wouldn't last,
But our die we had cast.
They said I was a ass,
That I should give her a pass.
Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
She is too old, she has kids in tow,
I didn't listen, didn't want to know.
She told me that she didn't want a man,
Never thought of myself like that.
Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
Our children were born of love,
Sent to us from up above.
Loved beyond my understanding
Beautiful girls in health abounding.
Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
Troubles beset us from the very start,
Each day seemed to break our heart.
Illness in me held me in so much pain,
Felt that I could never whole again.
Now we are one, both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
A lifetime of seemed our lot in life,
Every time we tried, brought us strife.
Love was the key it carried us through,
Love from on high, Jesus was the glue.
Now we are one,both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
Through the trials we came together,
We battled through life's stormy weather.
All those who said we wouldn't last,
Through illness they all now have passed.
Now we are one,both of one heart,
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.
God made us, he led us through,
He made for us each day anew.
He led us both through the narrow gate,
Our love for Him will never abate.
Now we are one,both of one heart
We share the beat, never to be apart.
God brought us together,
To be one forever.

I know we just met,
but I can’t forget our first kiss on top of the table mountain,
and the second next to that Corner where boys play soccer in a dusted clouds road barefooted
I'm not saying it’s going to be perfect,
even Obama’s still gets that intense annoyed look saying what is this black doing in the white house,
I assume others still think ‘we cannot’ why couldn't while you promise we can,
why didn't he say we could not “we can”.
I'm not saying people won't misjudge us,
and paint pictures that make sense,
or even reprint the pictures that remind us the days of the apartheid.
But let's take a walk at your backyard, let's make love like there is no tomorrow.
I'm not saying people won't say you just a white guy that is confused
but let's take a chance.
Even though I believe that lotto is a myth.
it’s not going to be easy,
Even after 20 years of democracy,
somewhere in South Africa there are still people who want to walk on the national flag and tear it apart in disgrace to show dissatisfaction.
I’m just a young girl from the township who just learned her first sentence in English.
Some people may stereotype, plant unknown hatreds,
and imagine how our kids will look like while holding hands walking in waterfront.
Even though we love each other so deep,
I know they will always be some people out there who will always think that I’m after your riches and fortune,
I know how often a good relationship loses out because of people’s dictatorship,
But I cant compete with the country, my people says i undermine my background,
and have forgotten my history so easy that I betray freedom fighters,
Your people say there is nothing I desire more than your fortunes.
Obvious the country says we can’t be,
My dragon my warrior, my first real love
My prince charming that came into my dream and made it a reality.
My blue eye white dragon, how I miss your smile
But now I see you from the distance, because the world says NO,
The rain has come, the rainbow has disappeared,
The mist has covered the dreams we had,
My white dragon, how I miss your face, your love,
your hugs, and the way we exchanged breath ant interlock our sexual desires,
Boy how I love your touch, I lose words to describe it.
I wish I can say that all is in the past,
when you use your tempting voice at 2 in the morning telling me exactly what I want to hear,
I wish we can just forget about the language barriers,
the statistics and area act and just be.
My blue eye dragon

Here I am alone again
I'm hurting now
Got to get over the pain somehow
That has taken over me
For so long now
Yet still the heartache lives on
Don't know if it will ever be gone
Tears are uncontrollably falling
For you and only you
I upon my knees
Would come crawling
I keep calling
Only to not hear you
Do you rally want me gone from you life?
Or like me, are you scared to
Afraid that you again may fall?
Isn't love all the matters after all?
I'm afraid I'll never
Talk to you anymore
That I may not get to see you
As I have before
Just tell me am I that much of a bother
Am I that much of a chore
Don't leave me out here knocking on your door
I know moments pass
And time moves on
But deep inside me for so long
I've felt the love that was between us
Is not gone
It's always been there
Waiting until once again
We were ready to share
For each other we've always cared
But there's something more here
I really can't explain it
I've never felt this for anyone ever
Not like this before
I've lost control
Why do I feel this way?
I don't know I can't say
Wish I could get to you today
Yes I have prayed
To make my pain and hurt go away
Maybe I've brought
All this upon myself
Putting my worries on that damn shelf
There lies my heart
Torn all apart
Bleeding there on the floor
That's never happened
Quite like that before
I'm sinking fast
Don't know how long I'll last
Can't give up this fight
It may not be right
I'm in it to my end
Even if it means my heart may not mend
So I've laid it all out
Now I pray again
This time for my life to end
Only way to make the hurt go away
This pain and heartache I can no longer bear
Yet I wake each morning
God has chosen my life to spare
Keep living and re-living
Perhaps the punishment for all my sinning
Thoughts of my kids and you all so far away
Has been keeping me alive
But the hurt gets worse and with it I no longer want to survive
If he finally chooses though that it is my time to go
I just want you to know
Of you I can't let go
And that someone out there
Really does love you so
So completely it hurts
For the man you are
And have always been
Now go and expand
Your horizons
Meanwhile I'll be here still waiting
Anticipating hearing from you
I've explained as best as I can why
Now I'm gonna go finish my cry
I'm here still alone
I'm still hurting now
Still I know I've got to
Get over the pain somehow
But I don't know just
Can anyone show me how

"Voluptuous Bullets"
In the game of Love and War
voluptuous bullets
penetrate a mouth of warm words
Lacking defence lines
boundaries come undone
in the valleys of a body let loose
Depth charged oceans seduce
and submerge the sensual mind
civility replaced by plundered flight
And soft war cries in ruffled sheets that billow
with the turn of the battle worn, now souls lost and dishevelled,
are laid bare and touched in suspense-bound welcomed fight
Conquering commandos are pinned to
satin skinned monsoon hollows hallowed and praised in
caverns of pleasures hidden deep rising to meet flushed Light
Wet curves in a storm of romantic notions
gone wild feeling the velvet touch of a silky marauder’s
fingers stroking your closed panes to unlock and engage a gun
Coaxing you back from your dream’s suspended moment
you turn the weakened warrior over
voluptuous bullets penetrate a mouth of warm words
Thinking,
now won
is just a palindrome in a mirror
now won
won now
Tongues duel as tongues must
Phantoms entertain each other
legs wrapped glistening in Moon’s silver shadows
Opening portals through waves golden seeking trust
Chalice and sword held in firm grip
Holding hearts and drinking pearls in on a love drunk sigh
Dropped by Puck at Oberon’s insistence
the Flower-of-Idleness’ essence
some kind of penetrating love potion meets Titania’s eyes
Addicted to opalescence by two you are transfixed and held
by a spell gone all distant across oceans blue
you are coaxed back to the brink of true existence
Silence becomes the night when dreams
hold no consort in a trinity seeking alignment
and the bewitching hour is put to bed at 3:33
There remains no resistance in your darkest dark knight
while the frenzied army of you, all voices parleying
now unite as King
seek refuge in me, winning
Queen
‘Tis the dream dreaming a dream
Sometimes we fall in Love
Voluptuous bullets penetrate
Words from a warm mouth
Hot but never fast
teased grand mal maximas to last

And I am quite emotional That's why you can't get close at all
So I start to push away The ones that love me cause I'm scared
that they might walk away I'm not perfect So I try everyday and
I grow a little bit Read a little more so I can educate my kids
Reap for my soul and cleanse my spirit Pray cause I'm ready
for the bloom of the sea Peace and serenity is all that I need...

Tragic, When Innocence Was Lost And Love Fled
(Youth, Dreams And Reality Series) poem number 1)
Like lake June swans once so were she and I
Passionate romance money cannot buy
Coupled and in heart's fervor we stood
Giving into our fever all we could
She the flighted arrow, I the strong bow
In our innocent youth fearing no blows
Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams
In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes.
O' deepest sorrows why were you thus cast
Allowing joy to fade away so fast
Had we not with truest hearts in love fled
Together, spirit and soul therein wed
Watching beauty of night's heavenly skies
World's evils we gave no thought or replies
Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams
In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes.
How I now so grieve that ill-fated day
In my epic misery bow to pray
For sweet mercy and yet another shot
To live forever in our moonlit spot
Swearing to always refuse any goodbye
Such dark reality firmly deny
Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams
In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes.
Like lake June swans once so were she and I
Passionate romance money cannot buy
Coupled and in heart's fervor we stood
Giving into our fever all we could
She the flighted arrow, I the strong bow
In our innocent youth fearing no blows
Living love's bounty, dreaming wondrous dreams
In sweet blindness, not seeing world's black schemes.

While I a young lad wading rushing streams
There bright roses and lush gardens in bloom
Bringing me back from the darkness and gloom
How oft we wonder why happiness flees
Despite our prayers, our sincerest pleas
Yet tomorrow always comes, life moves on
Where we find beauty in a simple stone.
I wake from dreams and eager dawn I beg
Give me back love and my young dancing legs
For in this tired ole spirit hope still shines
I see Nature's beauty smell scented pines
Walk the ancient trails and rest a bit
Thank God my bloodline gives me heart and grit
Oft I wonder who now walks these old shoes
As lonely builds its walls and sings its blues.
Sun sets a glowing red, life welcomes soft night
Such a soulful peace allows no dark fright
In youth I found that time was not a friend
For took away joy as happy days end
And some nights radiant moon its rays hid
Reminding, fairy tales are just for kids
In those somber thoughts, her dear face appears
And then in waiting heart love romance sears.
Beauty waltzed in on my diamond dreams
While I a young lad wading rushing streams
There bright roses and lush gardens in bloom
Bringing me back from the darkness and gloom
How oft we wonder why happiness flees
Despite our prayers, our sincerest pleas
Yet tomorrow always comes, life moves on
Where we find beauty in a simple stone.
