As I embark/
that spark
within me
pushed to part/

ways
there's a game
of world to see
I had played my part/
and roll
ride the waves/

put I could not stay/
if respect out of order
Or in disarray/

It's ok life's a jour-ney/
From date of birth to gur-ney/
It's what's done in between
Which concerns me/
It's never a matter of
had The skill arrived/
It's only ever a matter of

increments in time/

When I implement my mind/
A new form would've been born

An intricate design/
Simplistically simplified
So that I can convert, traverse
and
Converse between you and I/

This is special
Being here for a limited
Of time/

Even if we no longer talk
Your imprints in mine/
Your DNA my design/
Some where they've aligned/
I've created a monster
A modern day Frankenstein/

It's a live!!!

All In any way

Journeys in mind/
When it's all said and done
They would've done said
He put it all on the line/

Got rich and died trying/
Liken to a shrine/
words Etched instilled
And still willing me/
Willingly although

They tried to bewilder me/
But I'm a wil-der beast/

I was raised via the streets/
Taught by scholars/
Millionaires told me I
Could never touch they dollars/
Untold access to knowledge
To create my wealth/
Fitness gurus helped me
Maintain my health/
Motivated or else/
Elsewhere they didn't help/
Ingredients tools
I didn't know
I could just do it myself/


So I started with Less
With every thing left
to gain/
Literary tales
prevail through the firey flames.

Concerned with
The rapid pace
At which women
Are being
Disgraced.

I pray

Confused by
Their acceptance
Of the outright
Level of
Disrespect.

I pray

I pray for
Men to understand
You degrade yourself
When you dishonor women.

I pray for
Women to demand
Their value, worth and
Respect from men.

I pray for
Children to be
Protected and shielded
Able to retain a high esteem.

I pray for
Humanity
To return
To it's divine purpose.

I pray for
Love
To abide
In our hearts and mind

I pray for you

I pray me

I pray for family

I pray for harmony

Understanding we need
Whole men             able to love
Whole women       able to raise
Whole children     able to Achieve
Greatness

I pray

i didn't fall in love
.
.
i dived into it
.
.
without even knowing how to swim
.
.
i drowned with no one to save me
.
.
but i can't scream and ask for help
.
because i didn't fall in love
.
i dived into it

Every thing I say, has no meaning to you
Everthing I do, is always *******
Do you even know that I live here too?
Maybe no because you don't see me with my little do's

Well I'm here if you open your eyes
Standing right there like the whiff of windy smiles
Maybe you will never notice me
Like the winds passing by
But I'm the real one to save your life
With care and warmth,
I bring you a pleasant peace of mind

But here I'm ignored and scared
Buried in loneliness, soo quiet
Watching you with every hour passing by,
But I guess you have lost our memory of purity, why?

I've waited for you all along to change,
But even after an year or so
I've been left in vain
I see  the expectations being washed away with night
But still, I do wait     
And wait
And wait
With every hour, minute, second, months passing by
I still wait
Has anyone waited for you like I did?
But you never saw the effort I made to be your special bid
You are the only joy of mine
But you never changed a bit
And now I'm exhausted and drained
And I don't want to complain anything to you
I'm just quiet

O, see old mate
Someone uprooted me from your backyard of old fate
And now you cry of your loss
Stupid you who never heard my screams when I was close to you
And now I see what I had said
And u let me go giving the reason
of "just because I love you"

And I found another mate
Who always see what I've to say
But thanks to you old mate
That I hold a guilt soo deep that I could die
I gave my utmost affection to someone who never cared      

But now after sometime you see
I can give him affection that's right to be
But you my old mate cannot be forced out what my past has already paved
Because you now hold a part which cannot be explained and changed

Lives forever
Open to everyone
Valued honestly
E**veryone can!

October bonfires for Autumn lesser pyromaniacs ,
with Oak , Hickory and Fall leaves , ashes floating
in the Black Moon night , they ride into star clusters
then fade out of sight
Locked in flames allure , counseled by fire , glowing
embers , hypnotic flickering light , running nightfall shadows o'er the hardwood lines  
Gardenia perfume , warm coats , our uncloaked breath mingling with sweet smoke , cricket songs , hand-made skewers with
bratwurst and marshmallows
Trading stories , relearning one another ,
growing stronger , warmer , drawn into the wavering glow , crackling
tinder , white ash flurry , kindling eventide mellow* ..

A muse plays my harp
strings made of veins and thread,
cobblestones line over my body
having bric-a-bracs in the evening,

Rain splashes over shelves
and ego vapourizes like helium,
pyres burn my effigy tonight
stardust shines the bubble
tearing ashes like paper,

Warheads crack my halo from within
setting me up like the haze,
my lip syncs with the beats
dancing my limbs as it heeds away,

Clouds shower blessings upon my head
the chakra opens as if unbolted by wind,
clear conscience reigns inside me
and photos set us apart like fences .
