Complete
Complete..... Casting my mind back
to the place where life was so
complete,
Wondering why it is so hard to
find another world to greet.
Thoughts rushing through,
tearing the blanket wrapped
around my soul,
Just wishing, that another part
was there to make me whole.
An angel without wings to ride
the thermals of the night,
Why is there nothing in the
stratosphere to make this right?
That burning, yearning sensation,
would enhance my unfilled heart,
I cannot breathe without the
energy shared by another part.
So with all...
to the place where life was so
complete,
Wondering why it is so hard to
find another world to greet.
Thoughts rushing through,
tearing the blanket wrapped
around my soul,
Just wishing, that another part
was there to make me whole.
An angel without wings to ride
the thermals of the night,
Why is there nothing in the
stratosphere to make this right?
That burning, yearning sensation,
would enhance my unfilled heart,
I cannot breathe without the

Chronicles of a voiceless victim
I let you in,out and inside of me.
I left you one two,too many times
it's true.
Yet three four,for the life of me...I
still considered you a part of me.
I watched your fist pierce my
body,pools of blood pouring
from my beat up pores.
I watched your hands break my
skin faster than a razor blade,yet I
stayed.
I watched you spit on my face
with every disgrace and prayed
with God's Grace I'd be out of
that place.
Still I let you in,out and inside me.
I left you one,two,too many times
it's true.

mosquito
No one knows, no one knows
what you feel when your liberty
is taken away.
No one knows, no one knows the
pain I felt as my body was
violated by a vermin.
No one knows, yet everyone
pretends to know.
I remember the ripping of flesh
vividly.
I remember the cold floor as I fell,
trying to fight him off me.
I remember the sting, the sharp
cold against my back.
It was hot outside, the sound of
mosquitoes my only solace.
It was hot outside and the sweat
on his face mirrored what he felt
inside, heat, demonic heat
coupled...

Suicide
Suicide, my hands have been the
death of me.
Suicide, my body vertically
bound, my hands next to me.
Suicide, my eyes no longer visible
to the naked eye
Suicide they scream shocked,
surely not I.
The tight noose that we call life
was a misery.
The tight noose of this rope has
set me free.
The extrusion of the physical,
releasing the soul: oh what a
mystery.
The letter I wrote to my mother
secretly.
She,the one who gave life will
mourn my departure.
She,the one who nourished me in
life will unhook my stature....

Yes
Everything I need to know, I
learned
from Noah's Ark.
Don't miss the boat.
Remember that we are all in the
same boat.
Plan ahead. It wasn't raining
when
Noah built the Ark.
Stay fit. When you're 60 years
old,
someone may ask you to do
something really big.
Don't listen to critics; just get on
with
the job that needs to be done.
Build your future on high ground.
For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Speed isn't always an advantage.
The
snails were on board with the
cheetahs.
When you're stressed, float...

After You
I remember the sound of the
train, pushing on. I remember the
taste that remained, that kept
me holding on. We were weak,
but our wants were strong. I
remember the sting of the tears,
when I woke up and you were
gone. I just sat there and felt a
part of me fade. I remember
repeating your name. That was
the night I first felt it. I knew I'd
never be the same.
You and I, we were just different
people. I rationalize hate, as my
eyes focus on the ceiling. This is
best, and I let go of you as I
whisper. "After seventy-two...

How i feel
My mind is focus but my heart is
broken
Life is a puzzle but I putting
together the pieces.
This is how I feel.
Broken promises and dreams
are lies
Faith in God Shall I arise.

undying Love
Like stars we are hidden in the
atmosphere of the universe.
In the cosmos,my heart writes
this verse
Like swans we are bonded for
eternity. Our love stretching to
infinity
Our love never fades like the
phoenix, bonded to live
long,regenerate and destined to
never separate.
Just because global warming has
caught up with the world does
not
mean we will fade.
In every waking dawn we
stand under the silver skies
gazing at the new full moon
symbolising the undying love we
share together.
Beside all choices made you...

Love Lost
If love was a fire then we have
lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light then we're lost
in the dark
Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport, we're not on
the same
team
U and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean, baby, we
are just a
stream
'cause love isn't for me and U
lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light then we're lost
in the dark
Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport, we're not on
the same
team
U and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean, baby, we
are just a
stream
'cause love isn't for me and U
