As the  mountain wind blows
with an ominous boom,
the mandarin ducks
in migration quack, aloud-
and spread gloom,
the water once I swam
had a stench that kills lilies inch by inch,
I feel a pall of gloom
spreads around, a numbing grey shroud.

I wait here alone, at the end of my tether,
my heart being eaten by moths with long fangs,
soft voices die, acrimony reigns,
things need to be done, can't wait any more,
please listen, my heart's only hope.
I can't share the pains with none, but you,
I waited , staring at the path's end,
harsh light made my eyes sore, tearful.

I feel, now the dark alone will take over my soul.
I  listened, the bell ringing at your end,
but you didn't  pick up the phone,
did you in thin air vanish altogether?
you don't understand, but time
runs out, like a  sudden dam burst,
*the world we believed in, is crumbling, with a sound,
this deluge will pull everything, down
Please do something. This is the last call.
I'm sorry baby,
Can you make that a double,
I'm so thirsty tonight,
I've been spending all night,
Trying to drown these memories,
But you keep popping into my mind,
I've tried it all,
And I've gotten nothing,
Where else is there to hide,
I've learned that there's nothing,
In this life worth living,
If you're not by my side.
I thought that you'd look back,
I thought one day you'd want to be here with me,
I miss you a lot more,
Then I thought I ever would,
So tonight,
I'm just drowning memories.
During the days of war.
Soldiers fight so bravely.
Until the region reach a form of agreement.
We know the scriptures lay out many great things.

One is a greatest comment.
Spoken by the greatest prophet to ever be.

Peace I leave with you.
And that personal self was unselfish.
Not as the world gives it.
But in the ways he shared it.
And instructed us to abide by it.

Love dictates many things.
That guides people in many ways.
Peace solves things.
Love enhances it.

Peace intimidate.
Love solves mistakes.
But those that dives head first.
Only makes matters worse

Until loves takes control.
Bless.
Bless in ways, I could never explain.
But I'm thankful for so many things.
I know this.
And believe it too.

That if I couldn't see with my sight.
I would still be able to feel the daylight.
And feel the warmth of the sun.
Plus, the breeze of the air.

If I couldn't see the faces of those I love.
I could describe their feelings from a simple touch of theirs.
Cause unselfish love conquers many things.

Seriously speaking.
If I couldn't tell your race without sight.
With me.
It would be totally alright.
I guess I'm saying with truth.
It would still be a bright victory in knowing you.
she boiled my blood inside a *** of steel,
with bread she cooked it thoroughly till foam,
had covered all, unseeable, unfeel-
-ing, vengeance wrathful, hardened to a loam,
          where blood is life, she caused the life to be,
          unlivable, no more a life to me

Single sestet stanza in iambic pentameter with ABABCC rhyme scheme.
I don't need no compliments.
Altho' I do accept them.
Know this.
I love myself.

I'm not conceited.
Really far from it.
I just love myself.

If you don't.
Then expect nobody else will.
I wake up to loving myself.
I walk through life loving myself.
I look in the mirror.
And adore myself.

I'm not boasting.
Or even bragging.
That would be too much.
But I know this.
I love myself.

As a mother's loves a new born.
I love this one.
Which is myself.

Like the rising of the morning sun.
There's always a smile upon my face.
Cause, I love myself.

Enjoy you.
And you'll be enjoyed.

Morning sun,
Blinding me as I head east,
Though I squint,
Too early for shades,
Just way too **** cold,
And dark.
The desert paint alight with purple and subdued hues of mystery and roads belonging to no one and leading no-place,
I could exit here and be lost forever,
I wish for that sometimes,
Coz lonesome mood brings me down,
travel expects destinations,
Following broken paths is for the young,
For them reaching a place where meaning should whisper a bit in the ear,
Is more about the return than the journey,
Getting back to that place where they started is the goal,
I haven't that desire anymore,
Disappearing is a dream,
Unfulfilled,
Like saying goodbye to that early morning light.
Following still and quiet voices,
And choirs of mind.

Imagination is looked upon,
As a child with a crayon,
Starry-eyed,
All miracles and magic possible,
Drawing kittens on ships,
Birds near clouds,
With crayons all things are attainable,
Suggestions become real,
A new world ask of us,
'Whats up next?,
