Walls
What are you looking at?
Why are you so confused?
The first time you've seen one?
Do you not have any yourself?
No, not hiding secrets.
Nor unpleasant memories.
Why is it important for you to know?
When did I give you permission to ask?
How long ago was it built?
What caused it to be done?
It came from always giving.
Never taking from others.
Past mistake made.
Chances taken.
Yes, it's quite thick.
No, you can't break it.
There is no key for that.
Destroyed forever.
Lonely? Sometimes.
Happy? Most days.
The defiant wall is needed.
Now go away, before you break the mortar.
Holding it all together.
Go away from my wall.

About this poem:
More sleep dreams....Dark Sunshine
Sunshine look at me if you can find something
Nothing’s there that can make you think
So threaten me with your burn light
Hate me with your dark in the night
Help me to kill the hopes I ever had
Leave me alone without your shade
I am an island with soft crystal ice
Quick easy melt burnt by your light
I am a nowhere land
Not a right place to stand
Let your shine moves on somewhere else
Let your bright sparkles for another place
Nothing’s there that can make you think
So threaten me with your burn light
Hate me with your dark in the night
Help me to kill the hopes I ever had
Leave me alone without your shade
I am an island with soft crystal ice
Quick easy melt burnt by your light
I am a nowhere land
Not a right place to stand
Let your shine moves on somewhere else
Let your bright sparkles for another place

Post CommentINNER SMILES....
Special moments in time, that bring a smile
Memories tucked away, in our private file
Giving a lift, to what was a normal day
Flooding thoughts, like warming sun rays
With people we love, memories are made
Over-time, initial presence can easily fade
Until triggered by action, visual or thought
Stirring mind files, special moments brought
Back into the moment, emotions can collide
With past and present, so we can again ride
A time when so happy, you stored it away
To pull back and remember, warming rays
Memories tucked away, in our private file
Giving a lift, to what was a normal day
Flooding thoughts, like warming sun rays
With people we love, memories are made
Over-time, initial presence can easily fade
Until triggered by action, visual or thought
Stirring mind files, special moments brought
Back into the moment, emotions can collide
With past and present, so we can again ride
A time when so happy, you stored it away
To pull back and remember, warming rays

About this poem:
those special memories we can remember at such odd times.......that make us smile inside and out.....
online now!My grandmother advised me
It takes great courage to love women who are marked by the past, with a strong character, but with a kind heart. To heal their wounds, you need a lot of love, and above all you need to be smart, because they are so mature, so experienced that they no longer believe in what you say, but in what you are ready to do for them.

About this poem:
A lot of suffering in pleasing a female
Adam's Apology
My Queen, My Queen,
Where should i start?
My own flesh, remolded,
The protector of my Heart.
Our seed forever cursed,
And I have made it so.
For when you fell under temptation,
I allowed you to go.
A Man, Created as a Leader,
With God given Dominion.
A Provider and Protector,
At one with my Companion.
I know I let you down,
I watched you get led astray.
But I will secure a better Tomorrow,
With my Leadership Today.
I hold myself responsible,
This burden is mine to bear.
'Cause when you needed Me the most,
Only the Serpent was there.
Where should i start?

Our seed forever cursed,
And I have made it so.

With God given Dominion.
A Provider and Protector,
At one with my Companion.

But I will secure a better Tomorrow,

About this poem:
I wrote this poem while I was incarcerated. I was simply thinking about how we as Men sometimes create our own problems when it comes to Women. We get mad at their responses to our actions, but refuse to alter our actions in order to get a different response.

About this poem:
just stopping by to say hello....hope poets everywhere have a blessed day...
Man of My Dreams
I had a dream
When I was small
I’d watch it play out
Against the wall
Though he came
As if a stranger
There never was
A lasting danger
Excitement then
He did invoke
And when he left
My heart was broke
The dreams they left
With childish pace
No more did I set
My eyes on his face
Now I’m grown
Those years long gone
Wisdom replaces
Fantasies of young
But in the dark
I lie down and smile
And dream of him
For a little while
My mind is open
My body awake
I give in to the touch
It’s his to take
So is it a dream
When touch is real
This tenderness
He makes me feel
Fantasy or Real
This man of the dark
I’ll see him again
In dreams I embark
When I was small
I’d watch it play out
Against the wall
Though he came
As if a stranger
There never was
A lasting danger
Excitement then
He did invoke
And when he left
My heart was broke
The dreams they left
With childish pace
No more did I set
My eyes on his face
Now I’m grown
Those years long gone
Wisdom replaces
Fantasies of young
But in the dark
I lie down and smile
And dream of him
For a little while
My mind is open
My body awake
I give in to the touch
It’s his to take
So is it a dream
When touch is real
This tenderness
He makes me feel
Fantasy or Real
This man of the dark
I’ll see him again
In dreams I embark

Deceive
Have you ever walked outside,
and claimed the world was yours?
Then you find out it's a lie
when you walk back through those doors.
Now when you look into my eyes,
do you cover yours in fear,
'cause you're afraid to realize
that the time is drawing near.
But what if I was right?
Would you throw it all away,
'cause you're too scared of the sight
that you're seeing here today?
Does is threaten you that much,
or are you just to scared to stay;
But with just one healing touch
I could make it go away.
Did you ever look again,
for that world you tried to own?
Or did it catch up in the end
that the world left you alone
Did you ever realize,
that there is no one here to find.
We have vanished from your eyes
When you left us all behind,
and claimed the world was yours?
Then you find out it's a lie
when you walk back through those doors.

Post CommentFragments Of Light Beyond The Wall
Fragments of light beyond the wall,
effervescence flows,my thoughts
dwelling in the temple of dreams
untouched by age,each word should
be a bell within the heart.
All I wanted was to find thre truth
rendering the world a tad askew.
No chaos is more damaging than order,
embracing what we know we cannot know,
etches the green hills of our perception,
yet time is an illusion of our motion.
Years do not begin and never end, a
moment is a point with no dimension,
requires just one point of reflection
into a vast life of self-dedication,
with a no point of return.
Hours mean no more or less than years,
there is no greater clarity the eye
can see beyond the wall.......
....Just fragments of light....

About this poem:
Dont content yourself with what you see or live,there is always light beyond the wall.
fear
i fear theres someone inside of me
constantly telling me things i dont want to hear
you get nothing from nothing he said
fate turns backwards inside of me
never quite sure to say
what is is only a time
youll need the will of a tiger these days
constantly telling me things i dont want to hear
you get nothing from nothing he said
fate turns backwards inside of me
never quite sure to say
what is is only a time
youll need the will of a tiger these days
