The thing's you hate i love vice versa
To me what you see as faults
Your stretch marks , scars , cellulite
and freckles
I am unable to see when just 1 single unassuming glance or smile comes across your face then my way
Because in that moment nothing else matters
You are the beginning the end
And the jam and cream in the middle

If wisdom now comes
out of the mouths of the young
It follows they must
Retrogress in a future
Step down to a lower rung

oh my, you're splendid
like a fern growing backwards
„you hack writer“
you're a castellanus at 9 PM
after the dinner rich in miracles
hate re-living the mundane moments
over
and over
and over
and over
so sick of the everyday small talk.
still magnetized by the oddities.
this is the right way, not vice versa.

Outward and inward, we rock back and forth,
a specific time for extrovert and introvert,
a startling realization when extrovert comes out,
because sometimes introvert won't speak if it has any doubts,
when extrovert speaks it can open to new,
and can change the introvert point of view,
and sometimes while quietly the introvert may already know,
that time for the extrovert is a specific time to grow,
both have a purpose, both open doors,
the teacher teaches them together to see more,
the extrovert can remind the introvert again,
and vice versa through the message it sends,
to the time its held in and to the time it comes out,
God puts that puzzle together without any doubt

What if everything
was
Rehearsed?-
Are we really living
in reverse?
Martin Luther King
never had a dream,
Michael Jordan
never won a ring,
Mahalia Jackson
never chose to sing,
Black Egyptians
were never kings-
-This cold world
is not judged by race,
Trayvon Martin's incident
never took place,
Neil Armstrong
Never went to space,
Steven Bradbury
Never won
First place,
The word Love
Really means Hate
So to do
good deeds-
Should one
become Irate?
What if heaven
was really hell
Nicest spot
in your town
is a jail cell-
Guys don't judge
based on flesh-
Jesse Pickens
is not the best..

FANGS OF FEAR
It is all because of the claws
The tawdry talons of temptation
It simply refuses to pause
And never comes to a cessation
What lurks beyond the bend won’t ever end
Around every corner it is fear that I find
Peace and harmony never seem to blend
When a song of enticement enters my mind
It is all due to my being so weak
It is all due to my not being strong
It is all due to my life seeming so bleak
And because too often I’ve been so very wrong
My mind reveals a facile fragility
Fragile is my psyche and soul
My ego possesses a damnable debility
And a lack of strength on the whole
It is all due to the fangs
The sharpened teeth of time
In the balance is where my future hangs
The balance between cruelty and crime

There is so much to be said.
The thoughts are swimming through my head.
I can't erase my wrongs, but I hope you see that I've changed internally.
Replacing insecurity with assurance.
We will battle the test of time.
Here's where I'll draw a line.
Right here in the sand.
Look into my brown eyes, take ahold of both of my hands.
So much to say.
The words are on the tip of my tongue.
I won't let you down.
Not this time.
I won't let you drown.
This is my last surviving chance.
The pressure is on.
My heart pulsating again and again.
Don't let go until I release everything I have kept locked in my heart.
I can't go on without telling you the truth.
This weight I've carried from the start.
Day one.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
I promise you that I'll make it up to you.
Just place your heart right here for me to see and to hold.
I'll give you my everything.
My heart. My soul.
You truly are the world to me.
