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

black african american, imagination, inspirational, love, me,
you've shown me the truth and what it stand for. Proven in a short time that despite the past, love can be reclaimed. Through all my huts and some pain you've shown your superpower of unconditionaal love. You are my hero. we have more in common than most couples spooky at times it's true. Again with your superpower of strength. You are my hero. Your love and honesty, trust and faith flying in with your cape of black and red. You've saved me from a eternity of loneliness. Thank you my love, my husband, my king. You are my hero!

love,
They wanted to be superheroes
They took their inspiration from the beauty and the softness of a flower
and understood their gentleness
and their kindness
is their superpower.

nuclear weapon, war for peace!
plaintiff and disputatious
country to country
open secret superpower
agree with disagree
the peace in asylum- meditate on death
orphanage homage vow all to it
-promiscuous and wanton love
just a body- chest and back
bakes on secret roaring sun-moon

Saving a hero
Physical affection self deprived...
Withdrew where none would follow and so, my childhood wwas survived, as I learned most people were Hollow...
Shout it into them,"I love you!"
An echo where the heart would be and so I could pretend they love too... Pretend the echo was there love coming back to me.
Now though I need a chest that is full...
No empty Echo...
Tired of being pushed, I need to feel a pull...
Ive already mastered The Art of Letting Go...
I need to feel another Soul feeling mine...
Even for an hour...
A light embracing my shine... A shared superpower... By Honali z Guest

war there are
bomb, bomb, bomb blast
death texture in the hand of superpower
the soldier, the lover
none does not know of its result
at the state of dire
his back either to grave or loving bed!
o flowers you are blooming and trading mad,
what place for your blooming best?

You have my heart
My smile, you own.
My love is yours
My body we preserve
My mind you water
As thoughts grow
Decisions made
The world we conquer
Together forever
I am yours
You are mine
This war we shall win
In the crushing,
We becoming wine
I am the flower
You are the Vase
We have God
Our superpower
We shall conquer
I am yours
You are mine.

how i feel,
Love has mysterious powers
It makes cry
And makes laugh again
It makes meditated
And makes fallacious again
It makes rich
and impoverishes again
Love
It’s low spirit in enjoyment of existence
And superpower in the amorphous
