Disgust

I'm so disgusted, I don't even want to write.

Everything, everyone

Wanting more from me while

Dragging me with a string

Not even the class of a thread

A string

People dying & loved ones crying

But they simply watch the cycle go

Taking the lives of everyone they know

Falling down like toy soldiers

One by one they all fall down

Spectators cry from all around

But not one person makes a move

Asking, I'm just one person, what

Can I do?

To that I say there is a lot

If you can get off your ass for once

If you can throw a party, you can throw an event

But without crunching the budget spent

But you're too busy getting the scoop

To realize that life's about to take a poop

You never knew it from a mile away

Until someone else has a bad day

That's the day you knew it all

But you simply watched them

Take a living fall

You sat and talked

Like you're the shit

As long as you're not the

One going through it

Its a joke to you

People make me sick

I really want to puke

At not every reader

But whoever fits the shoe

Fuck this world that we're living in

Fuck this world so full of sin

Call me what you want to call me

Just keep you ugly energy away from me

I'm a lone soldier, let me be

Not for you, not for anyone

My reason for living cannot

Be undone

So keep your drama

To yourself

I'm doing fine

All by myself

Deserted

Come see me with your problems

Come see me with your pain

But forget you know me, when

I'm the one in the rain.

I'm not angry with you

I allowed it to happen

I should have known better

I just loved you more

Now I'm broken

Now I'm through

In order to love me

I've got to let go of you

Me, Myself & I

My world includes me

Even if your world doesn't

I exist in my world

Myself

I love myself

Whether you care or not

I matter to me

With you

Without you

I am still I

Say the Words

Whisper gently in my ear

Like you did last night

Love me like you wanted before

When everything was alright

Mm.. the thought of your caress

Sends me visions of happiness

Thoughts of your breath

On the back of my neck

Expressions of the heart sincere

Let go of your past, bring me near

Communicate your feelings, rid the fear

I won't break your heart

Its only you that I want

Say the words

Only you that I want

Of how you feel

Only you that I want

Let me know its real

Only you for me

Letting Go

Chapters end, memories fade

Sometimes good things go away

But love is loyal

Love is true

Sometimes found in

Silent moments with you

Love won't pry

Where it don't belong

Souls connected

Dance their song

Letting go

Of hurt

Letting go

Of pain

Letting go

Of fear

Of standing

In the rain

True love wants to see

Your dreams come true

It understands that it

Might never have you

None of that matters

As long as you smile

If your dreams come true

Then it was worth while

Letting go

Heart needs save

Letting the cards

Fall where they may

Yling Ylang

Vibrantly chosen to be the one

Basking wisdom in the sun

Excited acceptance of something divine

Everlasting throughout the mark of time

Fading like a rose set to dry in sunlight

Waning reflections on water in pale moon in night

Dancing like the stars, far up in the sky

Raining fragrant drops of tears

From the corner of her eye

Wishing, wanting yearning, crying

Laughing, loving, satisfying

Years gone by, only time gained

Yearning lost in dances with rain

Satisfying enough, the laughter stayed

But as for love, it faded away

It's gone with the years

The energy died

And so did her heart

With tears in its eyes

Jasmine Scented Tears

Soft silhouettes of jasmine scented tears

Embracing the pale moon's subtle nuance

As cool breezes wander through the night

Gentle whispers of vivid dreams

Sooth my empty heart with promises

When all else fails, there can only be fate

Shattered Visions

Prisms

Shattered happiness

Sprinkled glass

Prismatic colors

Magical clasp

Enchanted forest

Whimsical dreams

Birds of paradise

Singing hymns

Ode

Studies this

And the research shows

Nobody has proof

But everybody knows

Its rocket science

Taxpayer's cost

Government gain

Individual loss

Does it really pay

To sell your soul?

To live a lie?

To murder life

Genocide

Will your

Descendants survive?

Winds of Change

Leaves are falling

Winds of change

Nothing will ever

Be the same again

Fall is coming

Winter's near

Trees are barren

Icy tiers

Composing Melodies

Composing words

To fit the page

Composing music

To sound the stage

Composing smiles

To hide the tears

Composing history

To span her years

Melodies sounding

Words so clear

Melodies creating

Sounds so dear

Melodies enchanting

Melodies that put

One's mind at ease

Best She Could

It wasn't always good

But she did the best she could

It might not have been the best

But it was her best

It might have seemed dumb

But she did what she knew

And maybe that wasn't the same thing to you

Maybe she only did the best that she knew

Because she simply did the best she could

Summer Serenade

Enchanting melodies

Sweeps hearts away

Lyrical souls embellished

In musical harmony

Caressing each note

Soft petals arise

When pollination creates

Sweet lullabies

Crescendos of love songs

Duets of symphonies

Rhythm of heartbeats

Forever en synced

Summer serenade

Songs of desire

Forever connected

Blazing hearts afire

From the bottom of my heart I cry.
Silent tears that nobody hears
Only God knows how hard I try.
People don't see see what I see
They don't even listen to me
My words seem invalid
Unless its their purpose I serve.
I'm not sure how they think,
But I think that's absurd.
I don't share the vision
Of cashing oneself in.
My preference cares for
Lemuria, my origin.
Witnessing mass suicide
At alcoholic rates.
Endless amounts of
Rape from a date
People only get irate.
But nobody stands tall
For righteousness to perpetuate.

.I cry.

I cry for my people to awaken
To wipe the tears from their eyes
To stand in solidarity with those
Standing for them, for their fist to rise
For what they believe in

.I cry.

For the love of my life who will never know
Just how deep my love for him flows
Under the current, safe in my heart
Until the day fate, tears us apart
But by my side, he'll never be
Fore he sees some kind of inequity
I know not what, it bothers me why
So here I write alone
One more tear in my eye
This next one here
Rocks me heart to the core
To have to shed a tear once more
For all love lost, yet one alive
I wish I could see my brother thrive
But he's in a cell for the rest of his days
For our younger experiences had
Snapped him away.

.I cry.

Yet all the crying won't end
Thousands of years of genocide
Thousands of years of indigenous oppression
To serve Gray Matter out of aggression
To be enslaved for diamonds & gold.

.I cry.

World economic depression
But to whom do we owe?
If Earth is in debt, do we owe it to Mars?
Does God now charge to brighten the stars?
Perhaps we owe it to the clouds where we store
Verizon just charged me for five gigs or more.
Where is the water, if we're running out?
Sea levels are rising, couldn't be... how?
Why is there snow on the tropical mount?
Where is this water, that we're doing without?
Something's not right and people are asleep
This is how one obtains the label sheep
Because dutifully, they follow the
Orders they're told
Never seeing the sign until they grow old
On behalf of my people
My heart starts to cry
For all the love lost,
Tears fall from my eyes
But I will take this pain
Hold it in stride, while
Fighting good fights during
My time alive.
But every night
I shed these tears
From my eyes
For these are
The reasons
I cry.

Lost in Asphalt

Lost in asphalt

Every step looks like the one before

Every girl's number on public bathroom doors

Every underground walkway in tile

Every alley full of vials

Shades of Krylon paint

Shroud concrete walls.

Providing identity to

Barron streets

Full of

Poverty

Shame

Neglect

Misery

Struggle

Oppression

And endless cigarette & liquor ad boards.

Bars

Nightclubs

Drugs

And the reoccurring gun show.

Every morning blessed

Every day anew

Every day a brand new chance

To survive again.

Lost in asphalt

Concrete maze

Coronas & lime

Purple Haze

Lost in asphalt

Wasted space

Its no wonder why

Can't thrive in those places

Vibrations so low

Can feel one another's pain

Hoping, wanting things to get

Better again.

Lost in asphalt,

Find your way

Grow a garden

Watch children play.

Lost in asphalt,

The struggle is real.

But to make things better,

Now that's the real deal

Form a counsel

Make it work

Keep it real

Guide the youth

Lost in asphalt

You will survive

You don't have to leave, to

Keep the dream alive.

Lost in asphalt, do it right.

Don't let another young life

End overnight.
