Hear me roar
Over the devil I will soar
And be able to love forevermore...

When God seems distant,
it is I who have drifted.
He’ll never leave me.

This beautiful boy
is, on his tiptoes, a man.
An innocent man
with silver, wrapped gifts of words
hailing the wind, to listen......

Miles and miles of nothing, sparsely vegetated
with Joshua trees, desert wildflowers,
ocotillo cactus.
Not much to look at, but
plenty of it to see....

branches reach skyward like arms to Heaven  
alone between sand and sun
waiting for an answer

Bolu and Joshua are best friends,
Together they manage all trends.
Tossed by inquisity Joshua broke the law,
Which almost wrought their fall.
But now again they're friends.

My hopes and dreams 
were built upon fools gold
With false perceptions
And broken dreams
Who am I but a fool
To believe in happiness
Because nothing is as it seems

Once a time,upon itself,
Joshua accessed the world shelf.
Worn out papers,dirts and birds are it contents.
He closed back: cos none can him content.
Then he goes on opening other shelfs.

SUMMER

Summer is super and so are you
Under the umbrella in the shade
More fun, more sun
More ice-cream and a bun
Everyone is so fun
Ride bikes and run.

Its special indifference
and weathering smile,
reminds every passer
 —its strength and its guile

It stands in the desert
alone and unbowed,
to flower in protest
—its nature avowed

SEPARATE ME FROM THE LIVING 
FIND THE WORDS TO MAKE ME BETTER
WAITING BY THE BEDSIDE OF TODAYS DEATH
THINKING THAT IM OK
WITH THE SELF MEDICATED HAPPINESS
THE PLAIN SMILE THAT I SHOW
PULL DOWN THE MASK OF YESTERDAY
AND LET IT ALL GO
