I have mistreated you
I have thrown you away
I have made you weak
I have polluted you
I have made you *****
I have damaged you
I have destroyed your outer beauty
I have built new structures, that cover your natural landforms
I have made you change so much in such little time
I have mistreated you

I now care
I now think before I do
I now do not litter, but recycle
I now reuse and reduce
I now build more of your natural beauty the best I can
I now encourage others to take part
I now reduce waste
I now conserve water
I now try to make you new
I now care

I will share
I will tell people the news
I will joins “Save the Earth” groups
I will spread the word
I will take action
I will create an army, to save your worth
I will hang signs and posters
I will explain what we have done
I will show new effective solutions
I will share

I have mistreated you
That was in the past
I now care
I will treat you right
I will share
I will spread the word

We will all take action
This poem is about earth day.

Like a piece of wrinkly gold
Color blinding, shape so bold

Emerging from the brown earth
Like the sunrays on a day’s birth

Surface caresses the skin with its bumps
The road of life felt by the thumb

Up and down; perfect symmetry
Radiant shine fills the eyes, so glittery.

Peel away the shell of gold
Gems and stones slowly unfold

Brown as dirt; mighty treasures
Hazel heart full of pleasure
The tongue is lost; no maps, no measures

Melting surface in the cave of the mouth
Blissful substance drowning south

Dissolving into a heavenly taste
No plan in mind, unknown faith
Just one tale in utopian pace

Traveling down the narrow tube
Shape deformed; no circles, no cubes
A melting cure for dreadful blues
We had a Chocolate Ceremony in Creative Writing and our task was to write a poem describing our experience. This is a poem describing the degustation of the Italian chocolate Ferrero Rocher.

I recommend culture on evenings such as these
I said I wouldn't write about this today
But I found excitement in discovering bridges that gap
There isn't enough water on earth to cover what I've done
But there is enough hope in my belly to feed a man goodwill

"Mommy?" I say as a walk through the door
"What is it dear" she replies with her heart in her voice
"I had a bad dream" I say "Can I lay with you?"
"Of course!" She answers in her sweetest, kindest, most heartfelt tone
I hop in her bed, just her and me
I grab her arm, she pulls me close
I hug her
She hugs back

I don't understand the math in this
Just trying to maintain the humanity in this
I pray on my hands and feet in remembrance
Oh ye of little faith
I have been treading so lightly
Picking up my fever  
Basking in the moments that I know are direct challenges from the sky
Too young for big and too old for small

We didn't have a chance to be anything other than each other
Separated at womb
never allowing myself to allow myself to think about you
Sometimes caterpillars are just caterpillars and not butterflies
It just wasn't your time

My Wants

Next time, I want to be loved for all of me
Not just lashes and lips
No, not my ears and eyes that so seamlessly
breathe new meaning to life

No, no I want to be loved for the crusts of me
The thick and thin of me
(Baby there ain't no thin of me)
Just ripely thick honest sweetly raw delight.

Which is precisely how I want to be loved
Through thick and thin
Bring strength and nourishment,
Challenge both body and mind with thought and compassion

Night and day, day and night,
Light and dark,
Good and works in progress...

Will not be told "too much you ask for"
No, that jus means I too much Woman for you.
Get back at me when you can relate
I'm out.

*Suddenly love blooms
and like the scent of summer
it won’t fade

And

Even it’s one-sided like the sun
infinitely kissing the meadow
The feeling won’t stop shining
and even in night sky it will find a way
Hoping in one of your lonely nights
you’ll gaze with my universe
and rest with my gentle love
that keeps the stars and the moon
shine for you.
