Mi Reina 

I was taught to play this game by my father
I've seen many men play it
My brothers learned it as children
And still play it that way
Taking one piece
After another
And another
Then another

A piece is a piece

Love the power of your Queen
But subdue her 
Control her
She has no will within your fingertips 

These were the whispered words of my father

A queen does not merely move
She holds court
She reigns
Her presence is her power
Let her dominate over all others
Then she'll shield and support you 
And the rewards will be untold
Infinite

These were the lessons of my mother 

Set traps of unspoken promises
A Fool's Mate 
Risk nothing 
Take everything 
Sacrifice her if you must
In the end she's just another piece

I nodded in muted silence as he braced my shoulder

Guide her strength not with your impulsive touch 
to conquer
Her body is already hollowed and hardened by games played
Her position within your heart must be greater than your own

She taught me this with her eyes 
After my father laid waste to her 

Move the pawns as you will
That one there 
move it to the very edge
Trade her for a new Queen
Another piece

Lesson learned

Now I move with perfect imperfection through
The shadow and the light
For the war collides not on this board nor in murmurs
but within myself

And I've finally come to know this

I don't need a piece I can play with 
I need the Queen I can't move without 

The one I will gladly sacrifice 
the lessons of my father for

Aishiteru My Love
my love you are  shine so bright
thoughts of you keep me up all night.
like a bird you fly real high,
you are my love up in the sky.
no wrongs or rights will change my feel,
whats in my heart is so real.
i want you to know,close to me.
even if your parents dont want to see.
you keep me high and bubbly threw the day,
even if you have nothing to say.
my love you are forever and time.
to every word that i rhyme.
stay with me, dont let go,
within given time you never no.

It must have been love
It must have been true
She came into my world
And back into the blues

All the while she was here
There's nothing I ever lacked
Joy,companionship and care
She always got my back

She knew the way to my heart
Knew my thoughts before I said them out
And never was I completely happy
Until I had her right by my side

She was everything a woman should be
Beautiful,calm and intelligent
From nothing she meant everything to me
Became my lover,sister and friend

And though I never believed in love
She came into my life and made me a believer
Her aura beautified my world
And gave me peace like a river

Life and its mysterious ways
Only God can tell how things work
Sometimes I reminisce about those good days
Wishing I could turn back the hands of the clock

It must have been love
It must have been true
I was but a juvenile
Too rash to have a clue

the beautiful idea of love

Catch my thought and understand how i feel
love was once an idea but now its real
thanks to your voice that sang to me in my dreams
a heart filled with joy forgot about the screams
that ran through this stream deep in the steep
you brought me out of this spell i was in a drought
and once again my love is greater than our souls
that used to be apart and sealed
but now concealed.

and when that fails you, we can climb a hill beside the highway with lights that go on and off and on and off again

babe don't you know
you can climb any stair case that you want to.

Why is it so hard
For me to admit it to you
I can't get you off my mind
Even when I want to
Its hard for me to understand
Or even comprehend
What these feelings are inside
I'll love you till the bitter end
You're the one that's on my heart
You've written your name there well
Dark and permanent
A beauteous tattoo
A love I'll never regret
So why can't I say it out loud
You're my every thought
You're the one I dream about
And the one I want
If I never have courage
To say it aloud
I hope one day you'll see this
And you'll know how I feel
From the very first words
You're the one I love and miss <3

Until forever



He was dazzled by her sight,
he could neither eat nor sleep at night,
he had to think of her, unable to forget
the clothes she wore, the smile she had.

She saw him once and knew: "Its him!
This is love, not just a whim!",
She lost herself in his blue eyes
and cried everytime they said goodbye.

They spent some time and they grew close,
one day he stood in front of her with a rose
and he kneeled down and to propose, he said:
"I love you, it is you, who I chose!"

He handed the rose to the one he adored:
"Take this my love, this is forever,
what has been till now, simply does not matter.
I love you more than my life, that's for sure,
I want to be with you, this love is so pure."

She took the rose and she bent down to kiss.
"I love you too, I'll be your wife,
we'll be together till the end of our life.
Even after death, these bonds will not sever.
No matter what will be, this is forever."

True Love

Love is not judging
Another for their attitude
Love is not hating
Another for their idiosyncrasies
Love is not cringing
At the physical ugliness of another
Love is not hesitating
To give to another in need
Love is not leaving
When the going gets tough
Love is not cheating
On any relationships
Love is not seeing
The skin colours of another
Love is unconditional
True Love is all of the above
and More.

I Am Broken


I am broken
how can I face another day
how will I go on without you
how will I ever walk away

I am broken
what can ease my sorrow
what will I do now
what will I do tomorrow

I am broken
how can you be gone
how will there be sunshine
how will I go on

I am broken
what can I do for you
what will best honor your memory
what will prove my love is true

           Looking into your own eyes.


 How do you define true love, does anybody really know.
True love can not be measured by words alone for our actions speak louder yet they themselves do not always show.
 Is it never forgetting an anniversary or birthday, is it simply just holding hands while you walk.
 Is it wiping the tears from their eyes when they cry or is it simply just listening when they talk.
  Maybe a random bouquet of flowers every once in a while, for no other reason, than to see your loved one smile.
  Maybe it was love at first sight and you know they're mr or mrs right.
 You can say I love you every night but not talk all day because you fight.
  How do you define true love??
  Is it that first time you see your new born child, hearing that first breath of life or simply just looking into their eyes.
  Such innocence and perfection, that first touch those tiny hands their face holds no disguise.
  Every little whimper every little cry,
An inseparable bond always strengthening their innocence knows no lies.
  As they lay there with their cheeky grin as you smile back from above.
  I think that I've just worked out
        How it is that i define
                   TRUE LOVE.
