metal hearts harden
ridgid rugged thoughts touch cold
firm resistant sharp
~
unbreaking inflexible
passions strong conscientiously
misogynating
~
firm now pliable
undeniable soft light
beats now soften heart

Comes a time of unbreaking
what's broken
maybe broken to the point
a thing can't be fixed
ever
forever
severed.
To be sure prayers can find a home
but not when a divine plan's mark
is missed
yet must insist
with clenched fist
I resist.
A simple woodcarver, be
like Mister Geppetto
fend off a life of despair
perhaps with a little help from
a Fairy with Turquoise Hair.
For a creator
nothing causes elation
like its finest creation
seeking salvation.
All may end in ruin
in stringed freedom's destroy
it's never easy
bein' a wooden boy.
Life's call is abrupt
so keep your dukes up.

Feathers of down
fluffy pure white
floating on soft breeze
a touch barely felt
soft warm being breeze
lifting into azure sky
carrying spirits free
floating ever free
longing gently felt
embracing filling full
gently calling to
together always be
bindings just of love
ties that do set free
unbreaking ever more
forever that will be
warmth that fills the soul
touch that’s barely felt
that consumes one all
never to set free
longing of the heart
a need within the soul
a touch that must be had
that only can set free

With black broken crayon
vanishing myself in mirror;
but it denied and decided
to divide into dozens.
Smithereens stare me
showing my sparse face.
But this time i accept it
As it is far more better
than a broken bosom.

Unliving your memory

I will not be bent, and I will not break.
No weapon or word will pierce through my skin.
Voices and swords cannot make mountains quake.
I'll remain firm as that mountain within.
None will diminish the hope that I hold,
Crush down my spirit, or darken my soul.
I am unchanging not cast in their mold.
Bedrock unbreaking, I still remain whole.
Let hatred strike me until it goes dull.
Eternal, my soul is INVINCIBLE.

Proudly he stands,
the centurion of stone,
alone in his battleground
where winds drape their
coolness against his
sun-baked smile unbreaking
as he defies the forces
opposing his decades of being,
dauntless in his pose,
he holds his thrusting sword
towards a ghostly foe.

Ground is quaking
Man made walls shaken
Earthly foundation is breaking.
The enemy has planted a mind friend about me
So peace and joy will forsake me,through the personnel mind of fear and regret
I navigate the minefield prayerfully low crowing on my stomach
Probing for minds with the Word the double edge sward.
Shadowing the foot print of the Holy Spirit
He has scouted out a safe passes through the mind field
Fortitude is unquaking
Servitude unshaken
A foundation of Faith and Hope is Unbreaking

A man's armor
unbending,mighty
Only broken by the touch of a woman
the soft, sweet temptation of love and affection
A man's armor
almighty, unbreaking
A man turns fearless, but dangerous
A man turns unstoppable, but emotionless
We trade our imagination in for reality
A man's armor
As strong as carbide, as cold as ice
We become both dead and alive
More animal than man

Is a spirit that you
Let go on your first day
Here, and he is flying
Around, waiting, waiting.
He will return on a day that
You do not want him,
When you are old and frail.
Then, the harpy seduces you
Into his grasp, and
Carries you down into
The afterlife. But can we
Stop this and live forever?
Possibly, but most probably not.
For it is a chain, with
Unbreaking links that
Are harder than every
Blow humans have dealt it.
The one thing that
Has broken the chain
Is love. Love, it is the
One that never dies.

One beautiful day…when you woke up…
Holding a smile on your lips for your loved one…
Remembering and holding love in your heart..
Wishing and praying that love will last for long…
But one gloomy day…without giving you a choice…
The lover you loved broke lovers promise…
The promise of love trust and care..
The promise of being together until the end…
All those were crushed and broken.. forgotten..
Then You became clueless didn’t know where to turn..
Your heart was hurt, trust was broken.. care was taken..
Made your smiles forgotten..Yet made you cry in hatred…
Your heart gave room to a fear.. A fear of loosing true love..
Fear grows stronger every day..With out you realizing..
You are slowly becoming lonely..In the time you need to be happy…
Break those locks you are keeping.. on the door of your innocent lonely heart…
So some day some one would walk into your beautiful heart…
With lots of and love and care..With unbreaking promises…
Because love is a promise…and its never ending…!

We refuse to be silenced, to be tamed
For in our defiance, we reclaim our flame
So let them try to bury us in the grave of their making
We will rise, we will shine, our strength unbreaking
Our spirits will soar, unchained and free,
Defying the shackles of fate's decree,
With courage as our guiding light,
We ruse from darkness into the bright.
In unity, we stand, unyielding and strong,
Our voices echoing a triumphant song,
For in the depths of despair, we find a way,
To break free from the night and greet the day
Oree,the twins and mum have reason to stay smiling,
I and Mogo have grown to be great authors,
Embracing the freedom of our verse,
As we paint our stories on the canvas of life
