The Source
Life's been cruel to me so far
If I could catch a falling star
I wouldn't wash away my scars
I'd piece together all the shards
Of broken glass
Shattered years past
Filthy memories left unbathed
But no one walks away unscathed
Long ago I got the point
Aching bones and creaking joints
Any comfort is a privilege
Afforded only by indifference
I see the light
Can't close the distance
Sprinting toward sweet deliverance
Long after my feet are blistered
Where most would yield,...

That made us
With his holy hands
Many years ago
Foi Deus
That placed us here
On earth to live
For a long time
We just love to live
On earth
Meu Deus
Also you have the power
In your hands to heal the sick
Yes the sick people
Have been calling for you
Please go and heal them
Because you have the power to heal
I am sure
Meu Deus
The sick is always praying for you
Every single night
Before they go to sleep
Yes they sleep all through the night
Without waking up
And they...

Sing.
Me.
A melody.
And make it.
Out of tune.
Off.
Key.
Me.
A melody.
And make it.
Out of tune.
Off.
Key.

Been Here Before
I rode in on a dream
Among the snow and glitter
Saw my mother dressed in leather
With holsters and guns
Younger then me
On a horse with a smile
Hair all curled up like she does
Always waiting on me
I can smell the rain
The falling current of time
Every tightening yet never hurried
Along this mountainside
There she goes
Forward into the storm
Building for some time it seems
Crowning these ridges
Never looking back
Mom just moves further ahead
A horn of fire in her satchel ...

"Don't need to mention the names....."
But ever notice those famous singers that been around forever.
They have been there since you were young and were maybe
forced to listen to them by an older sibling.
You have listened to them so long they seep into your head
and take root. So now when they are played on the old time
radio.. You enjoy the old tunes. Though you faintly seem
to remember when you were younger and not that big into it.
Like I told a friend once...."You know you're getting old
when you start understanding and appreciating Mellon camp." ...

Shackled
Shackled to humanity within, brevity of my past is in tact
I cannot soar or scrape at the sky without the bindings of my sincerest skin
And yet for all I hate in jest, I’ve never felt foul for a fondle or two
Mark myself and inside us all can be found that burning sickness of life
Repeat, retreat, reproduce, falling away into oblivion
The shadow of my soul flickers through the plummet, nothing retractable or ever to be forgotten
Mirrors of memory, igniting a myriad of happenstance, down to the most delicate and finest...

The rain stop today finally
I see the beautiful rainbow
That come out in the sky
After the rain
The sun came out
And it is now cooler
I am feeling cold
I need to wear my spring jacket
It should be fine
Finally it turned to be
A wonderful day
The rain cooled the earth
I hope it will stay that way
For couple days
I can't cope with the heat
The heat kills me
Because I sweat like a
Pig
That is true
I am not making up a history
Just to say something
I am not like that

I will not make promises
I will not make promises
For you that I can't keep
I will not be jealous of you
Because you have more
Then me
I don't need the things you have
You worked hard to get
The things you have
Also, you collect some stones
From the sea
I know that you are a sea lover
Also, you spend most of you days
At the sea
I will also treat you
With respect
I am not telling you lies
My dearest friend
I will not disturb you
When you are sleeping
Because you need your sleep
Also, I am an honest person
That you...

No Title.
I ran from the burning stones,
For it had never felt like home.
I ran till I found a place to lay my bones,
I found a home,
Resting alone,
No light to expose its ruins.
I let my flame touch its torches,
But instead, I set the home on fire,
And as I watched it burn,
The words in my head turned:
Child of ember,
You can never escape the ashes.
For it had never felt like home.

Love was.
Something.
I used to.
Long.
For.
Now.
It's just.
A sentimental.
Performative.
Poorly done.
Art.
Piece.

Pretty eyes
She has
Pretty eyes
The color of the sea
Her eyes are green
Also her eyes shines in the sun
She is lucky to have green eyes
It was given to her by my father
AIso she has blond her
She is a gorgeous woman
That was made by my God
Also I am very happy for her
At night she is always sleeping like a log

Fia 12 days of X-Mas
1st day you joined a gym
2nd day you learned to swim
3rd day you shaved down there
4th day you cared about hair
5th day you turned down snacks
6th day no kisses came back
7th day a mark on your neck
8th day a ticket to Quebec
9th day not sure what to do
10th day then came YOU
11th day a smile on my face
12th day here honey, I packed your suitcase!
1st day of Christmas, what could it be
Mom, what did you make to eat
2nd paper cuts
3rd can you get it
4th alarm fire
5th food...
