Marqueda Manning Poem
Look into my revengeful eyes and stare at my heartless soul. My words I speak kill like acid and my touch will leave you in flames. Don't cross the path I made you will get devoured in one bite. Walking on black water and residing by the blood waterfall. I'm so toxic that poison is my champagne.
I dance with crows under the midnight blood moon, with the veil on my dress made of screaming souls. My head rest upon a pillow made of skulls and bones with a quilt stitch of bare flesh. I bathe in tears of sorrow of the weak and con confused while my enemies rest in my dungeon of pain. I send you to the deep end where you sink while your dreams crumble into my web of melancholy and no rest.

Marqueda Manning Poem
His eyes stare beyond the high horizon, while his soul dances with the wild river. There he sleeps with the color of the daisies. He was struck with lightning that carried him beyond the endless sky. Beyond his thoughts he taken the moon and buried it deep in his pocket. He gazed beyond the mountains and walked in the misty valley. In the greenest forest he rolled with the garden leaves that left a sweet smell of honesty on his palm. Even the majestic caught him with tears.
Free as the wind that landed him in the center of the pearl and the nectar that swept across his lips. Engage by the beauty of sound he knows the imminent of joy rested well in his heart. Now the Onlooker is in slumber where his heart grows by the grape vineyard.

Marqueda Manning Poem
He's afraid to close his eyes for he might not awaken. The bodies he has seen was no sensation. He close his ears from the sound of loud noise, the bombing around him and the killing of young boys. All the good memories seems washed away the war memories is all that's in the way. Hurt and pain his body has endured left a hole in his soul that only God can cure. His hands shake his eyes stare a living soldier brought home a nightmare. The friends he laughed with and told many jokes are dead and their families left with no hope. Oh how he cries those long nights and days the depression and nightmare he took to his grave. He couldn't bear it anymore his wounds were so deep now he sleeps not counting sheep's. For he may rest now and have those good dreams for God has his soul now he can rest in peace.

Marqueda Manning Poem
Hey silly hat jumping on my bed. How do you jump with no legs? Silly hat why you ate all my pickles? I thought you was going to give me a nickel. There's mud you put on my floor. Now I have to chase the cat you let out of the door. you are messy, messy, messy you silly hat. Messy, Messy, Messy I say. Why did you have to ruin my day? Go back in the closet and onto the shelf. Just let me play by myself. You fed my goldfish some my cat food. Why silly hat? Just be cool. Your jumping and flipping on and off the wall. You even let the air out of my brother's basketball. I finally caught you silly hat with my butterfly net. You have to be put away because you have cause a mess. Now that the hat is put away the mess I have to clean will take forever and a day. If you have a silly hat in your way leave it in the closet so it doesn't ruin your day!!!

Marqueda Manning Poem
I'm a striped cat who wears striped socks.
All of my food is in a striped box.
I use striped soap to make striped suds.
Even my bathrobe is striped. So is my rug. All of my flowers are striped in my garden. Even the ladybug who plays in the rain shower. My striped socks hang on my striped tree while the striped honey bees laugh at me. My best friend the striped bear love milk and cookies in his striped chair. Goodnight striped moon. Goodnight striped stars. And hello sweet striped dreams.

Marqueda Manning Poem
You sleep well because you are loved. I'm nestled in your arms because I'm protected. I'm drowning in your desire and love spell. Your smooth ebb and flow. You have seize me with your gaze. And you did it so well. That's why you are so loved. There was no goodbyes. I am awaken with sunshine and hello. Still smitten when our fingers cross and our palms are met. Freshly picked hibiscus with dew still on every petal. You are forever loved and more. I have collided with the time and stars of this untainted love. So loved you are. our loving innocence intertwine with romance and opals.
