Listen to her with all of you
Your fists clenched
Your lips together
Your head moving, slightly, side to side
Perched on the edge of your seat
Tilt your spine forward
Search for the soul deep within her eyes
Gently ... Don't frighten her
Make her feel she is the most important person in the whole world
Nothing else matters except what she is telling you
Hear what is in her voice
Her interests ... become yours
Capture her heart
Never let it go

Why do people, want to cause
Other people pain
Where is the Love
That will break the chain
Someone says something
Then it's tit-for-tat
I've played this before
We all know the score
Now who's up at bat
I think it's time, for us to play
The self healing game
Before there's no one, left
Around to blame
One that's more thoughtful
And much less insane
Let's reach for the Sun
And help everyone
Come out of the rain
All we have, is this fleeting chance
To get this right
No time for jealousies
No time to fight
Don't say, that you're sorry
Don't seek to forgive
Just start here today
And throw it away
And learn how to live

love, spoken word,
Warm evenings have that lazy feel,
As the sun sets upon the day.
An orange ball suspended,
As all cares now swept away.
The exotic smells in the perfumed air,
That lies heavy all around.
Mimosa now that in full bloom,
As its branches drape the ground.
Do you ever look at the sky?
As the stars come out at night.
When you’re held by that someone specials arms,
And don’t want to say goodnight.
Though no spoken word is uttered,
As eyes gaze into eyes
It’s said there windows to the soul,
Mere feelings can’t disguise.
Love can just be fleeting,
With precious thoughts we steal.
And in that brief encounter,
We know that it’s for real.

sometimes
it’s the perfection
of your expression
that touches me
in the depths
of my heart
sometimes
it’s the melody
of your words
that reaches
the inner ear
of my soul
sometimes
it’s the silences
of what is not said
that delivers
its charm to the roots
of my being

life,
I looked after an old lady and she always used to say
‘Three things never come back…
The spoken word, the sped arrow, and the neglected opportunity’
I look back on my life, yes I have regrets
Of the things I’ve done, or I haven’t done
The things I’ve said or I haven’t said
We must remember, life is all too short
None of us know what is around the corner
So seize the moment and do it now
Grab every opportunity you can
Tell people around you that you love them
For tomorrow may never come…
Carpe Diem – seize the day

Don't do it.
Don't fall back into that dark hole.
Not again.
You're strong.
You're very strong.
You've come far and you are able to go further.
Don't give up.
You got this.
I promise.
Mom is watching.
She's proud of you.
Just because you made
A few bad decisions
Doesn't mean you're a bad person.
She loves you.
But you have to learn
How to love yourself.
You're not that person who's trying to take over your body.
Fight against her.
That's not you.
You're stronger than your enemy.
..
Don't do it.
Don't fall back into that dark hole.
Not again.
You ARE strong.
Now look in the mirror
And tell that reflection
That she is beautiful.
Because you are.

We are judged by lies and by someone else's crimes.
They think they know so much but a little knowledge is dangerous stuff.
They can't forget what others did to them to make the truth appear so dim.
So now we must fight or be in dark light.
Give us people who are strong who know right from wrong,
Give us those who are proud to fight for our youth and for truth.
We stand for freedom of the mind and love of a different kind.
Stand up oh ye brave hearts and do your part.
Let freedom of speech ring because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I read about some love today.
I could only smile.
Closed my eyes
to that good feeling,
glad that yearning’s still alive.
I read about some love today.
Put myself in her shoes.
It made me giddy
that it was comforting,
Fell in love with the view.
I read about some love today.
Read the caution ‘tween the lines.
The nervousness
of the unknown,
but it eases over time.
I read about some love today.
Felt peace in what was theirs.
The type of love
so love filled,
that you mention it in prayers.
I read about some love today.
Only shed a single tear.
This isn’t love you just read about,
This is love that you must feel.

I have little control
over the world's travesties
I have power
over little more
than my thoughts
my words my actions
so put away that sharp tongue
so as to never sting or slash
best choose to be kind
so as never to regret
the smile not given
the kind word or
compliment not granted
preferring
to love
wholeheartedly
and spread kindness
as best I can

Shocking as it may seem to believe,
I dislike iTunes Christian and gospel genre.
The only explanation I can fathom,
Is that all its songs sound the same to me.
My preference is hip hop and pop,
Lecrae and Andy Mineo are my tops.
I do like Ariana when listening to pop,
Mostly I rock to the Apple’s pop.
I love J. Cole’s “Brackets” so much,
I even wrote about it for my class.
So much truth exposed in the song,
It’s impossible to ignore the message.
My focus effects my reality,
I keep Jesus as my centerpiece.
Without him, a me there wouldn’t be,
Connected like the roots of a tree.

girlfriend, inspiration, love, poetry, spoken word, together
Not meant to be alone forever,
Someone special is reserved for me.
I have the eyes of a machine, x-ray,
Color is society’s impenetrable gateway.
I want a woman I can be real with,
She appreciates me like she gets.
I pray she will be patient with me,
Being verbally open is hard to be.
Ecstatic to have a family of my own,
A foreshadowed dream in my mind.
My wife will change me in ways unseen,
I will be changed from who I used to be.
No roads are the same, only similar,
We will meet face to face I pray.
We each have our own path in life,
I pray one day I will have a wife.

(a New Year's Affirmation)
I know not where
the morning light leadeth me,
nor who, as I led, went before
I know not if a sea, a woodland,
or a mountain ahead to climb –
and, thus, my way to explore
For what I may see, may hear,
God, alone, knows true vision,
His worlds of sound, and where
our ultimate journeys are bound
As I must faithfully seek –
if to redeem my soul; for this
earth its Lost and Found....

Man didn’t create the planets
He didn’t make them spin
He didn’t create love
Or the warm feelings it brings
He didn’t create the unspoken language of hugs
Protecting love between
He didn’t create our smiles
Or the laughter it sings
Remember the unspoken language
Isn’t language at all
Its something that no walls
or borders can contain

love
With the softest voice ,she speaks.
A simple caress implied.
My mind races with thoughts ,of exctassy,
vision blurred,I tried.
Shadows of glimpses,caught ,
some how, not heard.
The pure pleasure ,
the pain,
of the mere, spoken word.
Time hinges,on a thought,percieved
Whispers of the Love recieved.
Solid now in form and feel,
the word is a bond,
I know is real.
The heart given ,as it speaks,
a Whisper,
the soul yet seeks.

They’re big fans of themselves
basking in mirrored glory
their own shadows they adore
will talk your ear off
if you let them
they’re everywhere
I unwittingly attract them ~
I may as well be a magnet
they love me because I’m quite happy
being polite not talking about myself
gives them the whole stage to themselves
It gets old though when
I finally have something I want to share
how dare I want to hold the mike
for a whole five minutes in the spotlight
Guess what~ they can't even pretend
to be interested ~ so that’s the end of that

stay close
Dear the world is evil,
its funny how humans turn to be the devil,
i try to smile with a everyone i come across and be civil,
but don't trust them cause they will deceive you,
lets try to stay close
cause i cant afford to lose you,
grip your hands tighten to mine and promise we would never let them loose
and drip away like the waters,
lets stay close,the world is cold
and together we generate stronger heat as a fold,
even if we grow old, we will still be bold,
cause true love is worth more than gold,
am not just rhyming but i want this story of love and togetherness be told.

I wish to be magician
With magic wand and such
I would change some awful things
In one magic touch
I wish to be a baker
Bake some yummy bread
Feed people all around
Even those I’ve never met
I wish to be a soldier
To spread peace and fun
To fight with words of wisdom
Instead of a gun
I wish to be a teacher
Bring some hope and love
Tell the wise man story
About God above
While I’m a mother
I wish my children grow in peace
To learn, and play, and to be free
This is my biggest wish.
