If I Don'T Tell You Now

If I fail to tell you now
as I always do;
Death might be walking my lane and I still keep these words unsaid.
You're the beauty of my life
And your presence brings light.
I owe everything to your merciful heart,
I wish to tell you how I feel bout you
But some words are better unsaid;
Waiting for the day I say (I do)
All the promises,all the things you did for me;
If I don't say thank you
I'll be reliving my childhood selfishness.
I love the beauty I find in your warm beautiful brown eyes,
It makes my heart complete and I want to admit;
Every time you look at me
I feel unheavy yet uneasy.
To me,you're the Eastern Star
With a big glow,bringing life to the lifeless morning;
With only birds that appreciates the gift of life and mankind that curse yet another day of school,work...
And endless hustle.
You're my forever friend
I've loved you that I hate to admit it
But I'm happy I'm writing this piece just to express words unsaid
And show how I appreciate your presence.

Crimes of Innocence

For what crimes
Are they being made
To suffer? 
Tell me! 

Tell me!  oh driver to the world
Why bring him forth
While within you lies the knowledge 
Of the crimes he committed not? 

Confess to the world 
Oh carrier of the unheavy burden, 
How huge a crime 
Is being innocent. 

Please say, 
What you know of the crimes
Of newness and pureness
And innocence and freshness. 

Mother they call you. 
Nay, Murderer you are! 
Why summon he whose presence
You despise in wicked essence? 

So I ask again! 
For what crimes 
Are they paying 
This heavy price

Of abandonment
Of Starvation
Of denial 
Of abuse? 

For what crimes 
Are they being punished
In madness and cruelty 
While you decide their fate over tea. 

For what crime 
Was he dumped in a bag? 
Why did you leave her hanging down that rail? 
Why did you scar him so bad? 
Why drop his form in that sewer? 
While he's almost as big as you were
When you were brought forth 
To this world
Where you've grown to be inhumane. 

Why oh why!
Oh murderous mother! 
And you treacherous father! 
What crimes do you kill them for? Tell Me!
