To our loved ones we tell no lie
With our neighbors our voice not high
From all the joys and luxuries
We are content with blue sky

On wrong doers a watchful eye
With good friends we share our pie
To injustice, sorrow and pain
"Not our business" does not apply

A Holy Child was born to try
to save, revive and edify
The evil ones much displeased
To his Father did he fly

Evil's around with ropes to tie
"Sorry, No way" say You and I
Our Lord's with us, we stand by
With us alive, evil shall die

I gathered the keepsakes
That used to be special
A box of mistakes
Lifeless, waiting to sell

Waiting for a new life to live

This love had worn out
Now a need to be without
Like an old pair of shoes
Cast aside soft and abused

This lifetime broken, shattered and destroyed

Broken dreams
Broken promises
Broken hearts
Broken house

Isn't it funny that's not how it all starts

what is the world?
is it outside of me
or is it inside
it's not outside oh I see..

everything can be divided
until it cannot be
electrons and protons surrounded
but we feel free

wheres my mind now?
where does it stay?
in my head or above?
will I find one day?

When every star is blanketed
including heavens gate,
who will paint the pictures
of sunrise on the lake.

When hearing is of thunder
with splitting hurricanes ,
who can sing of love and life
composing sweet refrains.

When speeches all run out of words
and talk speaks fear with hate,
who doe's pen the poets verse
to journal mankind's fate.

I was born with a rebel soul
One my parents finally gave up control
My lonely vision was different from theirs
It follows its own path, so just be aware

The harder I find rugged mountains to climb
The deeper I dig in, adding fuel to my mind
If I hear it’s black, and then see it’s all white
I don’t ever hesitate to defend what’s right

I may not have much of a leg to stand on
When the majority rules our journey we take
But I’ll even resort to crawling if I have too
Just to make sure that I’m in with the fray

There are those with a warped sense of authority
That often try to break me down to the ground
And at times I allow them to put me on my knees
So my eyes have to look up where they need to be

Maybe what I believe in is only important to me

It’s my take on experience, from what I’ve seen
But I’ve never fought dirty, sneaky, or mean
Not like our globally operated machine
That’s every politician’s nightmare or dream

Though my life can be stifled by the status quo
It will never be able to tame my free spirit
Because God created in me a rebel soul
And as I look to Him, I then give up control

The thunderous roar of a mighty waterfall
cascading down in huge torrents of liquid fury
smashing into the water below
creating mists of water droplets
that transform the sunlight into a rainbow

The awesome power of a thunderstorm at night
with jagged bolts of lightning
that split the darkness
and light up the surroundings
with blinding dazzling intensity

I had a dream about you!
And the Moon felt jealous of you and she decided to leave because she didn't feel full, now she was half.

I had a dream about you!
And the words she said to you were of love and passion, I did not feel any shame in expressing to you my desire to consume myself in your skin.

I had a dream about you!
And I was able to love you like no man or gentleman could ever love you.

I had a dream about you!
And I drew with my firm and anxious hands the most indecipherable figures on your skin.

And I was a poet!
And I knew your verses, I savored your lines and I loved the letters that make up your name.

I had a dream about you!
I hugged you in caresses and made you mine while I whispered in your ear all those forbidden words for a true poet.

A poet is not vulgar on paper, a true poet makes poetry that exalts women eternal, and if he has to make it vulgar he will do it exclusively under the sheets, stripped of modesty and rooted skin to skin.

In my dream I kissed every inch of your fine canvas
(Wrinkles and stretch marks you say? I rather call them indelible marks of your life well lived) and you didn't stop me, on the contrary you covered my body with yours and we made love until we went crazy.

I had a dream about you!
And you were my company forever and there were no moons or suns that could separate us.

Today I left my house thinking about such a wonderful dream and I ran into you
We looked at each other in silence and I jumped for joy when you approached me and with a sweet voice I heard you say:
Last night, last night and without knowing you
I dreamed of you..."

two guys met way back and comprise
a duet of two, fondly able to show
true affection for other as a twin

these guys as you might surmise
are lifetime friends though
Younger's thick and Elder's thin

since Younger's days of undersize
Elder's maintained the status quo
that they weren't related kin

they sat for years as happy guys
on park bench, no desire to know
if their covering was familial skin

Younger seemed to scrutinize
his Elder from head to toe
to glimpse a deeper truth within

Elder's mind then thought it wise
for Younger's future peace, you know
to search old truth, their times begin

test the DNA facts that underlies
a connection beyond any John Doe
himself and Younger related within

result comes back the test supplies
that they're difference can forgo
no familial connection there had been

biologically different too often belies
the bonds that they themselves bestow
to each other as family though not kin

so they found themselves in the guise
of family unrelated, still family apropos
as blood or not, their faces all agrin

A Good man is an amazing person who lives and loves. Though the only thing he loves about life is confirmation from a rather limited trust... Except for a select few who loves with no excuse-someone who is prayerful and God is his refuge. Whom shall he fear? A Good man is a protector of his loved ones and his mind. A Good man isn't afraid to settle down, a Good man knows love is blind sometimes. A Good man cries sometimes- but never drowns. He stays afloat with his drive, he doesn't sink when he dives.evenwhen the world is upside down...he's a Good man. Lies don't penetrate him, he repels them with truth. If you revolve around his life then he shares it with you. A Good man is the feircest lion in his pride- taking on his problems head on keeping his lioness alive- that's a Good man. A Good man'sheart is like a pillar upholding the sky like an unbrella over the wounds over his loved;his treasure. A Good man does't believe in failure.. A Good man is me (now or never).

Tell me where are you
To find you and to bring
You in my life.
Tell me where are your deep eyes
To loose in the deep blue of them.
Tell me where are your lips
To taste from their sweetness.
Tell me where are you
To spend all the time
In u strong arms.
Tell me where to find you
And never let you leave so far.
