Sweet Honey
She is raw like cacao
Carries a smell of cinnamon and honey
Natural brown melanin skin
Everyone judges not knowing what's within
Sweet like honey,
She cures any emptiness carried in this man
In the light of the sun
Or under a moonlit sky she shines
Beautiful big brown eyes
No one ever takes the time to notice her
People only falsely label her and lack realization
That she's the most beautiful and radiant brown skinned girl
Sweet like honey
Beautiful brown girl
Never lose your fire
Even when...
Carries a smell of cinnamon and honey
Natural brown melanin skin
Everyone judges not knowing what's within
Sweet like honey,
She cures any emptiness carried in this man
In the light of the sun
Or under a moonlit sky she shines
Beautiful big brown eyes
No one ever takes the time to notice her
People only falsely label her and lack realization
That she's the most beautiful and radiant brown skinned girl
Sweet like honey
Beautiful brown girl
Never lose your fire
Even when...

Tears Salted The Earth
He was from a farm which promised much and delivered little
It sat in the low hills inland from the coast,
all shadows and bullrush and dripping gullies
A four-room home –
two at the back, two in the front and hardly a chair on which to sit
They were, he said, poor in all but spirit
They worked until they bent or broke
It made him, he said
He got out when he could because he did not want
to waste a life thrusting posts into soggy ground
He shore and fenced and built
All the while he saved
When the bank

Surround me
Another turn around the sun,
just a few
Maybe none, maybe more
maybe all of them
who knows what will come
For sure.
Spend the day yelling
Screaming, fighting, lying
Trying to reach out and hold you
Trying to wed the night
With an ocean of blue
Born without strife
Makes no man's right
strong enough
To stop another's dream
From coming true
So
I love you
And everyone else too.
Just breathe in
And let the pain float away.
Speak life
That's what's been given to you.

I AM STILL NEW
My essence are behind the window shop,
the perfume flavor of an unused selling item.
My grammar is the colorful attractive "read me",
the style and topics i'm uncertain they will suit you,
but it's up to you to get inside for fitting,...
even though you wont buy, but you paid attention.
The support and your comments might build me,
strong or worthless i may be but i am still new.

A Dare
I can run marathons, I can climb high,
I can build towers right up to the sky,
I can herd cats (there’s no need to ask why),
Just don’t try to tell me I can’t.
I’ll make a robot to do all the chores,
I’ll build a go-kart that’s faster than yours,
It might give me headaches or bruises or sores,
But don’t ever tell me I can’t.
A wall is a challenge I can’t wait to smash.
I’ll take your nay-saying and burn it to ash.
If you give me dog crap I’ll turn it to cash,
But don’t you dare tell me I can’t.
My dreams are too big...

As you're walking out the door.
The fact remains I love you
even as you walk away.
You seem to see me as a saint
without a role to play.
You think you’re noble, sparing me
the darkness of your heart;
I’d rather taste the depths of you
than spend our lives apart.
It’s true you’re flawed, but so am I.
I challenge you – be bold!
We’ll walk tightropes together,
making both our half-hearts whole.
I’m not a child; my sacrifices
have come willingly,
for every pain has opened me
to greater ecstasy.
What makes you think you can...
even as you walk away.
You seem to see me as a saint
without a role to play.
You think you’re noble, sparing me
the darkness of your heart;
I’d rather taste the depths of you
than spend our lives apart.
It’s true you’re flawed, but so am I.

The fight begins
Ive dance with many devils.
Around the world ive fought my way home
Ive never fought demons on these levels
What more do i need to atone
My queen in tears
My princesses dont understand
I try to calm her we've overcame greater fears
Not the first time they've signed adeath warrant on this man
Do not worry my queen we will pull through
The xrays dont scare me at all
Look at my history you were there we did that to
Life has knocked me down but never will i fall
Just stand with me dear you by my side ill defeat one more...

Seed the Wind
In a frivolous moment of fun
I gave a single seed to the wind -
watched it fly;
knew it would fall
willed it to grow wherever it could
Even a weed can yield flowers
that may find favour with a bee
picked to elicit stemmed smiles
Perhaps flourish by the wayside
until their bright splash
colours eyes on a day
that have seen only grey.

Giving up, now I want to live
Going form 120lbs and dropping to 170lbs and gaining.
From almost skin and bones to actually having muscle tone.
From loathing themselves at their very core, to actually liking who they are now, and are proud of themselves for doing things they never thought would be possible.
From wishing everyday would be their last and actively trying to kill themselves, to actually enjoying being alive.
From running away and hiding from every problem to facing them head on.
From giving up, to holding on.
From almost skin and bones to actually having muscle tone.

FOUR POEMS, SIX WORDS EACH
TRIP TO HOT SPRINGS
in such a
hurry to relax
---
YOUR MANURE
too raw for
my compost pile
---
THE MOMENT YOU LEFT
bittersweet
like not fully ripe
apricots
---
IMPETUOUS SPIRIT
Follow your heart
Out of hell
in such a
hurry to relax
---
YOUR MANURE
too raw for
my compost pile
---
THE MOMENT YOU LEFT
bittersweet
like not fully ripe
apricots

IMPETUOUS SPIRIT
Follow your heart
Out of hell

Fight
I ran into my corner
Afraid for my life
Trying to get away from
All the hurt, anger and strife
But the presence is coming
Approaching with lots of dread
Then a silver lining flashes through
"I wonder if it'll hurt, hurt any when I'm dead"
No!.. I'm more than this
I'm more than this coward
And I'll fight this
Even if it is my darkest hour
But damn it's heavy
Way more than I can bare
Why the fuck does my life
Have to be so fucking unfair
Where did I go wrong
What the fuck did I...
Afraid for my life
Trying to get away from
All the hurt, anger and strife
But the presence is coming
Approaching with lots of dread
Then a silver lining flashes through
"I wonder if it'll hurt, hurt any when I'm dead"
No!.. I'm more than this
I'm more than this coward
And I'll fight this
Even if it is my darkest hour
But damn it's heavy
Way more than I can bare
Why the fuck does my life
Have to be so fucking unfair
Where did I go wrong
What the fuck did I...
