...
A Cry for PEACE
We breath the same air, we bleed the same color,
Religion and Racism has come between us,
All the light in the world is being devoured.
Should the color of my skin determine my faith?,
Should my religion determine my life?,
No!, I will not let others opinion determine how I live, think, and what I do.
We are all wonderfully made and equally loved by our heavenly father,
The creator never meant for us to be separated,
These words are true,
The Bible is where it was stated.
A world where Racism is no longer a problem is what I wish...

GYPSY
Gypsy you're like a wild fire,
You burn through my veins,
Dance for me fair maiden,
As the wind flows through your Auburn hair.
Your eyes see through the souls of men,
Your kiss burns an image in ones head,
When u sway your hips to the beat of the drums,
Great Kings and their kingdoms come crumbling down.
Gypsy your skin; soft as ever,
Will you be mine; be mine forever.
You dance because u love it,
Not for the fame,
Oh fair maiden; let's end this silly game.
Let me hold you in my heart,
Keep you safe,
My...

Hidden thoughts
I'm confused,
Do I really keep looking for u in everyone I meet?
Is it love that I feel towards u?
Is it hate?
Is it anger?
Is it hurt?
I don't know,
I don't know if my feelings towards u are positive or negative anymore,
I've loved u for so long,
I've hated u for so long
I've needed u for so long,
I'm confused as to how I feel.
Seeing your face reminded me of all the hurt u put me through,
But also all the joy u once brought me.
My heart is saying I still love u, that strings are still attached, ...

Jealousy
The thing about jealousy is that it never goes away easily,
It drives you crazy, makes you feel insecure,
You question everything,
All the answers in your head are all negative thanks to over thinking,
The Mastermind behind all jealousy and insecurity.
Insecurity triggers jealousy,
Over thinking prolongs it.
They're friends longer than you two have been together,
She's closer to him,
Her eyes, I sense attraction towards him,
My eyes, in love with every bit of him,
You question which he'll see,
It gets harder,
In your head...

Reflections
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Show me the truth once and for all.
You see me for myself,
You see who I am inside,
Though I try to conceal my pain,
With you there is no where to hide.
I see my refelction in you,
I see what I've become,
You see the real me,
I regret the things I've done.
As I stand before you,
I reminise on the past,
Shakles of sorrows that bind me,
Cages of anger hold me captive,
And there's no one to turn to but you.
For their tongues are like swords,
Words poision my thoughts,
Killing me...

Blinded
Your eyes, brown, like the deserts sand,
Hair as black as a raven,
I had longed to make you mine.
Skin as smooth as a baby's behind (lol)
I longed to touch you,
You're so devine.
Lips, red, like the petals of a rose,
Like a picture in portrait,
Your face made me feel like time froze.
Beautiful isn't she?, yes I know,
Thorns around her heart that was gold,
With walls that barricaded me from reaching my goal,
I long to make u mine but you're just like the rest.
You see my mistakes,
Not my...

Sleepless Nights
Last night I cried my eyes out remembering what you did,
I've never felt such anger and pain like that before,
I felt as if I were having a fit.
I felt as though I could cry until I passed out,
I kept saying I hate you over and over again, the rage I felt was building up with each utter of your name,
It was too much to bare,
I did the necessary to calm myself somehow,
Then fell back on the bed and just stared,
Stared at the ceiling, body feeling lifeless,
My hand was numb,
There was no thought of him or anything in my mind, ...

LUNA
Little luna, run, run, run,
Little luna wants to have fun,
The fun she has is quite dangerous,
Insanity and wonder all around,
Yet she comes to play with us.
Though you cannot see us,
Doesn't mean we're not there,
All you've got to do is stand and stare.
Stare into the dark,
Imagine a room full of spaces,
We come alive at night,
You can't see us yet,
for there's a blur image of our faces,
Do you want to see us luna?,
Take a peek if you dare.
Your mind is boggling,
Oh yes!, we can tell,
Don't be...

Lost dreams
Out on the ocean,
Travelling place to place,
From fancy motels,
To Barns that make you feel like you're living in hell.
Trying to find that jewel that will win mi amor's heart.
LAND! HO!, the crew yells,
The island of lost dreams,
Jewels like glass,
light up bright as beams as the sun touches it.
We're finally at our destination,
The crew prowls after the jewels,
But the diamond I seek,
Is bloody and lies with souls that are meek.
There it is, red as the blood that flows through my veins,
Stuck in...

Diving deep
Love is like your first time diving,
You're excited to hit the water,
But when u do,
You hold your breath and close your eyes,
Just to feel the calmness of the water,
Those heavenly sounds.
When you finally open your eyes its beautiful, colorful,
But you feel as though you're suffocating ,
Body feels heavier,
Paranoid at everything that touches you,
Slowly passing out,
Though you're trying to conserve oxygen.

Fleeting time my Love
I ain't and ornament that'll sit still and wait for u,
If u not treating me right and I see a brighter future and better opportunity, imma move to someone new.
I'm not a robot that'll stay, be pretty and submit,
I ain't that type, so fuck you if in your criteria I don't fit.
I'm trying my best to be all I can,
I need your attention too,
Even if its just a minute of holding your hand.
Love me, hold me, protect me, respect me,
I'm head over heals for u,
Can't u see!?.
Just make the time to enjoy us being together,
This...

Bleeding Rose
Oh dear Rose,
You cry tears of blood,
Your silence isn't heard,
What have they done to you,
Its like you're distant from the world.
You're slowly losing your composure,
Trying to keep up,
Your mind is longing closure.
Those tears on your face,
Run as red as moses made the sea,
You've lost your vibrance,
Stuck in the mud, wishing you could flee.
Run away from the dark,
From the voices in your head,
Planted firmly in the ground,
Wishing you were dead.
They are all one,
While...
