Your Eyes

Your eyes 
wondered to connect with mine
I don't give you the time
You find another
And continue to revise.

Unchanging Truth

Unchanging truth
A guide for man
Changing lives
The honest man
One that doesn't judge
Or speak out against man
Gives hope
to a place where flowers don't bloom
and cops don't come
He illuminates light
where darkness grows
A new Life
Birth of a baby boy
with wisdom resides
but evil is quiet
He guides me progressionally
in this dark world
changing a Life
changing my World.

I Existed

I existed when no one returned your calls
I existed in ways you don't seem to recall
I existed when you came home late
Stench of rum and sweat
I existed when you left me alone
many times
alone and irate
I existed when you took pieces of my soul
Puzzled at my addiction
I grew cold
Darkness surrounds me
Envisioned light
As demons knocked at my door
I conceived Him
Envisioned Life
Envisioned 23 years in one night
As I awake
Scorned and reborn
I rose in existence
I existed in his pulse.
