Dear Brother

Five years ago we were together
In the war cold was the weather
You cared for me but I didn’t bother
It was very dark the enemy getting closer
“Take care of the family run I will cover”
Then a gun fire, a painful cry it was over
You died for me why oh dear brother


The sun was up the war far gone
Troops going home and I was alone
Stiff I was just like a stone
For I knew the family had no bone
As I was leaving the bloody war zone
I told my self “what is done is done”


I saw your wife calm as a dove
Holding your picture high above
Then mama asked, “Is your brother alive”
I told them….; mama couldn’t believe
Your wife in pain could only say “oh my love”
I couldn’t stay I had to leave


I was brutal selfish person ever
Mama was always in tears like a river
Always  drunk making your lives bitter
But you were there to make me better
Looking at your face I would say never
The truth is you where the family’s last silver


My life has become a loosing game
I work hard to bring a happy flame
But everything I do is so lame
For am not you things won’t be the same
Their eyes say “your death I am to blame”
Either ways you are more alive than I AM….

Dead Man Walking

I am still alive but am not living,
My life is gone am just existing,
Am still in shock am barely breathing,
Waking up from this dream is all that am wishing,
But this is the reality there is no escaping,
The chains, the bars, am slowly rotting.


I was not a good person that I know,
My life was a circus and I had the show,
I was high never wanted to be low,
The pride I had could never let me grow,
I preyed on weaknesses just like a crow,
Now am beaten all I have is tears as they flow.


So my last words are to you my pearl,
I know it’s too late to say what I feel,
Just know that my love for you was real,
I wrecked you, gave you wounds that could never heal,
Then you were happy, it was him that I had to kill.


I remember the man I killed, your boyfriend Lance,
Everything was so fast like an accident in a race,
I thought you were fooling around looking for romance,
But you real loved him that’s hard to reminisce,
I know you hate me, I can feel that in a distance,
I wish I could see you but I don’t stand a chance.


My life on death row has not been so good,
For 15 years I have been eating the same food,
Living alone in a cell I don’t even know my mood,
My senses are dull I can’t tell plastic from wood,
Am gonna be executed tomorrow yes! Yes they should,
I wish I could change things..!!! I wish I could.


Am gonna die alone my grave with no name,
My whole life has been meaningless and lame,
I was allowed visitation but no one ever came,
I’ll be erased from existence like a burnt out flame,
Nothing new ever happens every day is just the same,
So am just here waiting for the walk of shame.



Am a dead man walking living my last hours,
I wish I could see you before facing my fears,
To know how you look like, it has been 15 years,
I imagine you with a family happy in many colors,
And you have forgotten me, though that brings tears,
The imagination brings hope as my mind wonders.




All I real need is your forgiveness,
Am sorry for bringing such darkness,
Am sorry for I was so heartless,
Am not fit to be human I was so reckless,
In another life I will give you the happiness,
I will make you smile for you will be my princess..

Slow Love

The first time I saw you I didn’t feel a thing
Then from a distance voices started to ring
Then your face was all my dreams could bring
I flew high but I crushed with a broken wing
No more flying just a voice your name to sing
Hush! That smile like the waters of spring…


I barely noticed the first time we spoke
But now I know your voice is my smoke
I need it everyday even when I am broke
Without it my head slows and starts to knock
I need to call you to feel that electric shock
A smile left on my face “stop it!” I mock


I barely noticed the first time I touched your face
But now your presence makes my heart race
It’s like my mind is no longer in its place
The damage you do to me is of high price
For your beauty makes me pale like cooked rice
The smile you have kills me for it’s so nice


If one day you ever give me a chance
I won’t dare let you go even once
You will rest on my chest as we dance
I will be that pillow when your tears glance
You being the princess I will be that prince
Happiness will be defined by our presence

When am with you time goes so fast
When am with you I am at my best
I can look at you forever without rest
Hurting you will never be on my list
You are not my first but you are surely my last
I promise you that you and I will last……..
