One New Year's Goal
Quote By Poet: "As one year ends ~ another is waiting to begin. What will the New Year bring? Only time will tell."
It is almost here twenty, twenty-five,
it is great to be alive.
There is a lady at the end of my street,
we just met and that was so neat.
How did we not know each

UNCOVER THE LIES
Let me write a story
About what?
A certain kingdom
Let me tell a story
About why?
A certain misguided information
The puzzle,
The pieces have fallen
Into a ancient land
Unexpectedly, already
The cultural values was formulated
Into a concrete foundation
Accessible to the beholder
The riddle,
Let me dive into the story
About who?
A certain individual
Let me flow with this story

Are We Too Much?
I’ve been breathing in the fumes of my existence and expectedness for some time now…
Far too long because this thing I cannot place has had unending hold over me.
I’ve been realizing things lately, and witnessing my own lies…
That I tell myself to feel sane or rather inflict a false state of comfortability.
These realized lies are

Summer Solstice Premier Contest: Uncover 'Me'
Listening to songs I never loved,
Wearing clothes I never cherished,
Adorning a cloak that never suits me,
Trying hard to accept that this is the new 'ME',
As time flew,
As I shed my old leaves and gained new,
I realised that this was never the 'ME'
That I wished to see.
Revolving around momentous bliss
Whirling around proclaimed pleasures
Haunted by

Discover and Uncover A Lover
What I was sure recently would discover,
If you are an agent who is undercover;
Looked here and there,
Then think everywhere;
Likely with luck will find another lover.

Uncover - Discover
Majestically lissome, a stripling nothing less,
slender in silhouette, a beauty in undress,
standing starkly bared, every limb exposed.
Not for an artist, but the splendour disclosed
is singularly attractive, as any you’ll see:
a natural vision of simplistic symmetry.
Engrossed, unobserved, I’m quite overcome,
with the naked comeliness, and soon become
captivated by my view of aesthetic expertise.
I’m seduced and excited with

Uncover Me
I said, “I don’t like my nose.”
God told me, “Your nose is beautiful.”
I said, “I don’t like my smile.”
God told me, “Your smile brightens the day.”
I said, “My eyes are too big.”
God told me, “I see too small.”
I asked him, “What does that mean?”
God answered, “You’re looking in the wrong mirror.”
I asked, “What are you

Let Me Uncover It
I want to write some crazy poems
Like who knows who is going to be President?
Is it a male or is it a female?
Can it be both?
Neither?
Ahh you covered all the bases
So vote for me okay?
Sounds of the summer ending

Why don't they have it in summer?
While we lay baking hot in the sun?

Uncover a Soundtrack
These footsteps are a dotted line
A pulsating heartbeat on a timeline
Your curiosity fills in the blank spots
Guessing which stereotype‘s my blind spot
You can plot a healthy graph from my bounce
I own the future today ‘cos, “you only live once”
I believe in the streets, live on the beat
I was born ready so bring on the heat
My

Uncover
Tearing a poem in two, ripping a part an entire idea
insanity or ingenious, unthinkable or approved, forbidden
who knows
One important question: is traitor now the title I bear
a traitor to myself, betrayer to everything I stand up for
a traitor to the millions of poets out there, betrayer to the art
God, don't let it be; I can't

Revealed To Uncover
Seeing my reflections covered
Never to be discovered
As I lay down this thick paint
Wanting not to faint
Absorbing all the color of Christmas Eve
Hoping I don’t mess up and deceive
If I do even one thing wrong
My life wont be a happy song
Everything has to be perfect or it’s my fault
Just as perfect when you have to pole

Wow, 2006 is rapidly becoming
a slice of history.So many things
have been added to the story.
Some good, some not so much,

Was there a monumental truth that you
finally did uncover?Like you really should

Eddy" is truly the life of the
