The Great Poet

She found me singing in the backwoods of Alabama bluegrass
                        Your voice is beautiful she said
                   A country gal molded from Georgia's red clay
                                 Fascinated with thoughts
                                  That flow from my mind
                       We use simple words to define rhythm
                 Written from the blood that flows through our hand 
                          Overlooking those that don't understand


She found me dancing in the empty streets of New Orleans
                               Recite a poem of passion
                                   What did she mean?
                               Look at the sky that is blue
                                 The clouds of white linen
                                  The world is full of love
                               And willing to die for anyone

She found me making love at the top of the mountain peak
                              Where love whispers
                             And words don't speak
                                 Minds stay tangled
                            And thoughts never sleep

                                She found me writing
                               But my soul still weeps

Falling (Poet Freestyle)

Give me your heart
and I'll give you mine
Tell me your thoughts
and together we'll combine
The greatest love made
will be remember in due time
We'll sleep at the hightest sky
which leads to the highest clouds
Where the shooting stars pass
and the moon gave us the most brightest smile
I still know the way
Follow me my love... follow me forever
Give me your love
how bout we make love together
No need to rush things my love
We got father time forever

Let Go (My Speech)

It’s not impossible to let go 
of things or people in your life
that aren’t good for your welfare and well-being.
Lovers and friends—that’s nothing more than demons in disguise—
who feed off your pain—feed you with lies.
Teardrops of salty cries, but still you rise.
The look of determination, the focus in your eyes—
spread your wings, take two steps forward, one deep breath,
and open your eyes and fly.
Bypass life holding obstacles and barriers of stone walls.
Take control of your mind—I promise you’ll get to where you’re going,
if you stand strong and believe it’ll happen in due time.
I know how it feels to be hurt, scarred—
you’ve lost faith in love.
You have a heart that doesn’t work.
We smile on the outside
but inside we’re dying with pain...(here’s the twist).

To proud with pride to lay down and die—
to afraid to live so you keep your life concealed,
to scared to love so you bottle up your feelings,
so let down and hurt—
cryin’ is all that works...(the breakdown)

Life moves fast, but WE control our future

Cast Away

Tomorrow never came
And still throughout the deepest of love
So divine, a taste of sweetness 
Thoughts controlled by one mind
Hopelessly I'll dream but only for one
I love only one
I've loved only once
Simple minds make powerful love
But who shall I love?
If love only came once
Empty hearts- tasteless thoughts
A sweet gesture before we depart
Whispers, cries of lust
Love stories spoken 
But love wasn't born for us
So my words are vague(inside I'm so cold)
I close my thoughts and write with rage
Loves a centerfold open and closed
A diverse writer
For I am poetry 
And the words bound by love has taken my soul

Love Stories Vol. 1

Someday we'll encounter that one true love
When boy meets girl, breathless without air
Speechless without words
Love at first sight
Leads to the very first kiss
Thoughts roam wild 
Should we take this risk?
The price we pay for love----
Without knowing the true meaning of love
To afraid to let go
Too young to understand

Man meets woman
Together hand by hand
Promises made
Words spoken so sweet
A love that whispers 
A love so exquisite
Words not spoken
Spoken softly when I speak

Boy meets girl
A heart never to be broken
Or, can love save a broken heart?
Man meets woman 
He promises never to stray
But, how long will he walk side-by-side
Before he chooses to walk away?

June 6

As a man I shall stand with you in grace
As a woman you've found that love has a place
                    This is our testimony
                   Two hearts that are equal
                     One love that is shared
                   The final chapter in our life
The brightest star that will shine throughout our souls
                        This is our testimony
                    We've made peace with our past
                           Gave hope to the future
                           With smiles and laughs
                        I've lit one candle to carry alongside us
                                    For this journey to come
                                       This is our testimony
                        Life has given us hope, dreams, and love
                As we walk down this road together hand by hand
                                     This is our testimony
                                  Together we will share life
                   And together we will build and secure our future
                                    We'll love unconditionally
                       My queen with a castle built fit for your king
                                        This is our testimony

Rebirth of Me

At last my day has unwind(I feel so settled)

This warmth feeling of love(almost as if I was reborn)

Today I truely understand me

My past now buried behind(locked away forever in my mind)

Circles of love and believe me it feels so divine

I smile at those whom caused me great pain

I'm so stronger and eager to achieve(focus at all times)

Words of a poet and poetry is what I seek

My voice has spoken

Clearly my words are sweet(but spoken softly when I speak)

For love has risen and the sky has fallen

And love keeps callin....and love keeps callin.

Obession of Love Part 2

So beautiful you are, a smile with such grace
your eyes tell a story of love you refused to face(a woman's love can't be replaced)
To love by chance due to circumstance(why my love, why won't you take my hand)
To love not by choice her smile shows just how moist her lips must be
One simple kiss leads into eternity(but keep in mind this is just a fantasy)
To be loved was or wasn't meant for me(look deep inside your soul until then you'll see)
The true meaning of love how should it be(to love at such cost)
but priceless it shall be(to bid a price for true love only meant for you and me)
But keep in mind my love this is just my fantasy.

End of Days

Thristness of pain,
Water that doesn't quench your thrist
A river that flows nothing, but ashes and dirt
A pain that's been hurt
A heart that's been scarred
A universe way beyond us with only black stars
A world that doesn't turn
Life that doesn't grow
A rose that blossom in the winter
A summer with white snow
fairytales without heroes
seas never to be sailed
A child that's never born cause all humanity failed
A blind man plays the banjo of songs he hasn't rehearsed
Husbands hide their wives
to live their seperate lives
The dead may rest beneath their graves
Animals became human and humans became their slave
Human cruelty isn't a crime
We've been cruel to animals for quite sometimes
If we as people don't change our ways
It'll remain like this until the end of days.

Broken Wing

I couldn't imagine as time sailed by
                                 To the first kiss we gave
                               Set aside the times we cried
                             To the candles sticks that burn
                               Like flames within our hearts
                                 Not knowing what I had....
                                     I need you my love
                       Grasping for your love in my dreams
                   Living through the breath of life, you provided
                            Awakened by my own nightmares
                                           Foolish love,
                         Or does love make you do foolish things?
                                   Sing one last song, my love
                   In ways, your voice use to mesmerize my mind
                             How do you mend a broken wing?
                                        Hoping you'll heal
                                    So, hopelessly I'll dream
