The Right

The Right 
   I feel in my world
      we all have a 
          voice   
  but to use that voice 
        is your own
           choice 
you have the right to
      make a good
         decision
  you have the right to
     look at a happy
           vision
We all have a right to
     Belong in this
          Nation
     it should not
   matter about the
       population 
 I feel in my world 
   We all have a
        Voice
  But to use that 
   Voice is your
       Choice

Sonnet 19

Sonnet 19

        Have you ever noticed
           the gentle tone
                 in your
                  voice
       your peace and promise
            to make a good
                   choice
       your kindness and honor
               is a work of
                     art
        so beautiful to twist
              the sinews
          of a gentleman's
                 heart
      I would go to war for
               you my
                 love
        I shall go with such 
              grace as a 
                 dove
        my love for you will
              never fall
                 apart
     put a knife in my neck and
             a bullet in my 
                    heart 
       even an arrow near my
                  breeches
      anything to prevent you from
          those death- sounding
                  screeches 
        so push through your pain 
               and continuous
                     strife 
             I would  keep you
                   smiling if I
                      could
          because believe me I 
                     would

When I Finally Wonder

I swing my legs in the air to catch the summer breeze 
I feel the wind in my hair
I don't know what I want to do with my life
But I am not in a hurry to get there
I lay my head back to breathe the fresh clean air
I want to do something important 
But do I have enough courage to care?
I keep on swinging but I never stop thinking
Will I ever make a difference?
Or when will I do it or where?
I finally stop swinging, but my head is still in the clouds
Will I be an important person?
I keep on wondering how
But for now...

I will never stop dreaming

I will never stop experiencing 

And I will never stop believing

Beauty Is An Empty Space

When I reflect
The advances of today
And the progress of tomorrow
Gratitude is not forthcoming
Desire is kept in a shallow pool within
Beautiful a distant memory

The ethereal, unwavering presence of a human
Whose love makes one grin with a simple thought
Where memories surface with the slightest of ease
Brighter than the hottest summer days
More peaceful than the quietest of cool nights
Simpler than the most distant star

That is beauty to me
