Hey, i dreamed of you last night. i just never thought that the dream i had would be the only way for me to see you. um, i was wondering, if the stars ever lined up in the shape of your name, will you ever love me again. No, well um.... im sorry i guess, i tried my hardest and spent to my pockets were nothing but lint. All for someone who never seen me for me and forgave me for my sinful sins. i never thought you'd leave me for a guy i use to call a friend. but thats not all true. you know Rocky Balboa always said "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows." And you know what he's right. because the one shine of light and one glimpse of color was when i was able to say " baby you are my world"

Today Was a Good Day

Today was a good day,
Not a single tear was shed.

Today was a good day,
That's why I'm wishing I were dead.

The desolate sea beckoning me,
Depression, a mere inevitability.

Dare not lie to me,
My death will be chosen, setting me free.

I rue the day I attempted while crying.
Is it not superior to leave the world smiling?

Today was a good day,
I best get to flying away-

Before my monsters return,
abolishing yet another day...

Death being an opportunity,
Again poached away.

MY FIRST POEM ON THIS SITE, HEART IF YOU LIKE IT
Despite the darkness, I have had a relatively relaxing day

standing regal over-
looking the ocean •
as your light spears
far over the echoing
ripples•i must have
misread your beckon
-ing signals•they had
warned me of impen-
ding doom •  should i
come too near to where
deadly rocks loom• but
strangely enough, i find
myself drawn   so much
closer• like a siren's call
that  could not  sing any
sweeter•now it's too late
to even look back  •   i am
now before you under skies
of black•torn asunder by the
ravenous rocks hidden below
• still I'm mesmerised by your
enchanting glow  • waters here
have been the      grave of many
hulls and bows • but...these last
few moments it's just me and you
••••as my love, my beacon,••••

Somebody

Make me your emblem
Adopt my colours
Let them be seen
Through actions and verse

Make me your flag
Fly me high upon the sturdiest masts
Watch me billow with purpose
Catching the wind that forever lasts

Make me your anthem
With truth in words that rings so clear
Sing me loud and true
Sing me always for all to hear

Make me your creed
Pledge yourself to always uphold
My name in thoughts and writes
Emblazoned across as your brand in gold

Make me your home
Your shelter for when the day's done
A safe haven to return to
With the setting of the sun

Or just...

Make me someone...*
Anyone...
So at least I know that I exist
Make me a simple somebody in your life
Not just a name on a forgotten list

Inspired by Depeche Mode's Somebody

Listen

.
••••••••
••••••••••••••••
sound of running puddles•
listen...to the          as they make
window pane•             their way out
   pelting my                         of stagnant
       the rain•                  troubles•listen
            sound of                  ...to the calm
                   ...to the                calling of
               listen                     the moist
            •                          breeze•as it
                 whispers its hopeful
        promises and decrees•
listen...to the chaos in
   my heart •  heals it-
self everyday  be-
fore again it gets
torn apart

its gonna make sense

bulb.

Don't expect too much from me

'cause my days are numbered

'cause my lights are limited

In the end

You' ll gonna throw me

broken

She Doesn't Deserve Me

She looks in the mirror
At the age on her face
"I wonder what he thinks
of me this way?"

She considers her weight
and the pores on her skin
She thinks out loud
"I don't deserve him."

She picks apart
the woman he loves
Separating her worth
from all that she does

He looks in her eyes
and caresses her face
He sees it glowing with love
and full of grace

The lines on her face
  he views with pride
  Recounting the victories
  each time they've been tried

The weight that she carries
is that of a mom
Nothing's too heavy
She just marches on

These bodies will perish
and mirrors offer no truth
True love abides
beyond the corridors of youth

  No, she doesn't deserve me
  Perhaps God can see
  Conceivably, one day
  I'll be as worthy as she

to the mother of my children. Happy Mother's Day!

Sacred

Doves lit in the spires
Two lovers kiss in temple
Unringing the bells

Sorrow

My Body no longer yours
I rescued it
along with Soul, Sanity & Love

I see you burning
in the smoke of your own fire

I hear you howl
as the wind carries your voice

a whirlwind of chaos
chasing me

words forming tornados in the gravel

the path from your home
morphs into my Body

I smell the gasoline residing beneath
my clipped fingernails

the ether spills
a volcanic eruption

forging through the Garden of Sorrow
so named for all that is lost there

But before I left I was sure to uncover
Love – taking a shovel to claim
the remnants of a diseased heart

I dug up Sanity – some speak of keeping
Insanity as a friend, but not me
I’ve had enough madness

And I took back my Soul
the thing you’d hidden so deep, like digging
for diamonds – the rarest type

Blood diamonds – each formed
for every life
you stole.

I'd like to love again

I’d like to love again
Days gone by in a
Conceptual state of mind
Realism my best friend
And worst enemy

I’d like to love again
Evenings pass by in a
Manic state of mind
Memories a close treasure
And haunting burden

I’d like to love again
Years pass by in a
Callous state of mind
Ethos my arduous procurement
And grossly arduous to sustain

Sierra Leone Poem - (For Leymah Gbowee - Nobel Peace Prize Winner)

You,
You are a women of power!
You stride through
The rivers of life
Like a water buffalo.

for the first time in my life
i was certain love existed
but as quickly as i fell for you
you proved me wrong
