DON'T THINK LIKE ME
I would like to have a moment of your time and patiences, with deepness and understanding, as I exchange my thoughts and emotions and feelings. For there is no guarantee that TOMORROW is a promised to US, for you gotta grab life, as if it is your last breath for don't put off what you you can do TODAY or SAY. But yet learn to grow with the process of creating, a masterpiece that requires you to accomplish something for yourself. FOR IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE THEN TELL THEM, THAT YOU DO NOT WAIT TILL IT'S TO LATE FOR LIFE IS NOT A PROMISE. I appreciate your kindness and love and support and...

The Biting Mouths
When the mouths of the machine
Called for war
The men ran toward death
In joy, in honour, jingo, and fear
The women stayed home
To make the bullets and the bombs
The women watched
As the men marched away
To destroy each other
When the mouths of the machine
Called for peace
It came with conditions
The men refused to kill
The women refuse to make bombs
The mouths would get their blood
They fed on the land instead
They bit into the world
And sucked out the juice
They chewed and spat the waste ...
Called for war
The men ran toward death
In joy, in honour, jingo, and fear
The women stayed home
To make the bullets and the bombs
The women watched
As the men marched away
To destroy each other
When the mouths of the machine
Called for peace
It came with conditions
The men refused to kill
The women refuse to make bombs
The mouths would get their blood
They fed on the land instead
They bit into the world
And sucked out the juice
They chewed and spat the waste ...

The Taste of Your Fruit
I love the taste of your fruit,
tart and tingling against my tongue.
I’ve sampled life’s pleasures, but to you I return,
now desiring only your succulence,
wholly without bruise or blemish.

Wanted
It is deceptively simple--but innate
The fantastic lies that plaque truth
Needing, loving, lusting --- a sentient
Waiting to be moved
We don't realize our old illusions
How easily they comfort and grow
More enamoured as we tease and hypnotize innocence
To contort and confuse
The safe soul
Our past was earned on merit
We were deeply burned and beared it
We once had such spirit,
Looked deep within to intuit
Frailty in smiles
Passion for miles
A heart that was tender, unfiltered and wild ...

Getting My Attention
When a man’s not full of bluster
Or flaunting his macho stuff
I find that tender words and deeds
For me are quite enough
I sometimes seek unlikely souls
In men that make me swoon
I like the shock upon their face
When I say it’s time to spoon
Or flaunting his macho stuff
I find that tender words and deeds
For me are quite enough
I sometimes seek unlikely souls
In men that make me swoon
I like the shock upon their face
When I say it’s time to spoon

DON'T BE UNGRATEFUL
As I lay here as the awakening of the sunrise, reaches the closer of my eyes as I feel the warmth of the sun. As it awakens me from the night shade, that once covered the light from my eyes. For as I lay here in solitude, absolute at peace with my senernity to comfort me, as the morning sun greets me letting me know that I am still alive. But yet as I prepare my mind for the journey ahead, I must remain with postivity over negativity. Even though I still not regret nothing that i have gone, and been through in my life, as I would do it the same way again. For I am bless to see another day...

The Other Side of Understanding
I won't choose a woman who don't have nothing to lose
Never able to take responsibility and always crying the blues,
"But with determination, willing to help you lose everything
That's why I'll never give her that wedding ring,
"Or entertain her with my important time
I might get attitude and cussed out-I'll be just fine,
"Understand, there are more things important than getting it wet
And just because my dick hangs low-it will always get the upmost respect,
"I don't consider myself no better than any other
But...

Real or Pretend
Men pretend
within their disguise
to be legends of the past
to be the knight in shining armor
[white charger optional]
often times rusted and bent
Strong and fearless
little boys playing war
but real men don't play these games
thinking this is lame
knowing their true power
is the nobility of spirit
to carry the weight of the world
Walking tall with iron will
my heroes don't wear capes...

WHENEVER WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
There are things that we sometimes take for granted, as we think they will always be there in our lives. But yet that is far from the truth for nothing last forever not even love. That we forget that we are not prepare for the outcome in all situations, as they are of our life stories and sometimes we forget we aren't prepare for the grass roots. That sometimes grows beneath our feet yet not necessarily, made for you walk on but for you to walk away from the temptations. That seems to draw your attention from the truth about ourselves in real life times, but yet sometimes it doesn't seem...
