The Survivors
Forever gone, forever we understand
The pain lingers on, stronger beyond
The thud of agony and the memory
Captures the groans of a desperate cry
Laid in a little rest with friends and family
to be the martyrs reunited in eternity,
As in the heart when life is over
Time closes our eyes to this world of terror.
Grief shows the path

The Flames of The Street
Love is life, suffering, sacrifices,
The exchange of glances, sometimes tinged with hypocrisy,
Tears wiped away, gestures that fade.
Hearts harden with every argument, every scream.
In the gut, pain is engraved.
It’s a battle, a struggle, a never-ending war,
For honor, for pride, for a tumultuous future,

A song of my inner self
My height hurts my height,
I mean of freedom,
freedom in any angle,
mainly for my inner self.
Unjustly treated height,
opportunities between my fingers,
anger conquering my heart,
hurting that right of love,
mercilessly.
The time is near,
for heights to faint
and have no more control,
over love, trust and opportunities,
through sacrifices, sweat
and sweet fruits.

A Lone Mother's Love
A single mother’s love is strong and true,
She sacrifices all for her child’s life anew.
Her days are long, her nights are short,
Yet her heart is full, she is never out of sorts.
She wakes up early, to pack lunches to go,
Ace the day ahead, no time for any woe.
She dresses her child, combs hair neat,
Ensures everything

Ode To Freedom
Awakening today to a newly retired life,
I'm more attuned to the world around me,
Grateful our freedoms mean little everyday strife,
Unlike hapless people across the sea.
Let's appreciate this weekend,
Others' sacrifices for this blessed land,
Not let political squabbles our unity rend,
Instead offer each other a helping hand.

Peace Vs Reality
I
We all enjoy some peaceful moments & this is a basis to think more deeply about greater peace but for those who have no moment of peace and shalom to remember, they may lack pegs upon which to hang ideas of such positive feelings and fraternity.

We learn from Dr. M. L. King Jr. that

Sacrifices
We've made so many just to please others
Leaving parts of ourselves behind:
Pieces of our heart and soul, just to see other people happy. Ignoring what we need.
Today it stops with me.
I'm taking care of myself, and what I need
To hell with you... I'm done making sacrifices
At my own expense. Giving up what dreams I
Have.
Pleasing

I Am the Wind
passing storm
leaving silent
bending branches
hitting darkness
in your windows
I can sing
I can cry
I can sing like the mother’s lullaby
and howl like the wolf in the full moon
I can shake up dreamers in the dark
the crying
the braking
the singing
the barking
I am the fright
of dry branches

Promise of Love
Was that real??
I raised my head and saw
A flower peach in color
Real and breathing
Yes, she was real
I looked her in the eyes
Her hands twinged in mine
My sight turned towards the ground
A shadow in suit embraced one in a long gown
As if a Disney prince just met the love of his life
Moving my

Life Sacrifices
This to live as dying; and to die as living
Pondered by all, and weighed with a cost
This a life carrying, bearing your own cross
A virtue most noblest of any human being
Life, love, and leisure and all its pleasures
A kiss of a child and embrace of a loved member
Conversely a world so dark and fallen immensely
Found

Intersection
The words kept echoing in her mind
Like lightning in a stormy night
Her Heart forgot its rhythmic schemes
Missed several beats
A baffled smile came first
Then a rainbow burst with all its colors on her face
How long did she wait
For those three magical words to be said!
And there____ they were spoken
Her eyes closed,
