Undress
You wore my skin
You swallowed my name
You bled my strength
You fed me despair
if living means to lose
then is dying a win?
the lake of tears is overflowing
the crown of villains is tilting
all that energy in motion
marching to its desolate end
snap the heart strings
rend the tired tendons
slow descent into the abyss
running out of air; of a voice
does dressing up a mistake
make it feel like it isn't one?
I neglected a promise
I was inconsiderate in my care
I abandoned what I...
You swallowed my name
You bled my strength
You fed me despair
if living means to lose
then is dying a win?
the lake of tears is overflowing
the crown of villains is tilting
all that energy in motion
marching to its desolate end
snap the heart strings
rend the tired tendons
slow descent into the abyss
running out of air; of a voice
does dressing up a mistake
make it feel like it isn't one?
I neglected a promise
I was inconsiderate in my care
I abandoned what I...

10 Years
"I don’t want you to hate me," He says
Then she says, “I could never hate you,
You built a strong woman with your insults.
Now I know what I will and won’t put up with.”
You taught me to cook,
How refreshing it is to bake cookies at midnight.
You’re the reason I dance
In the frozen section to music I never knew.
We bonded over our broken pasts,
Both of us screaming childhood screams.
We saw the worst in those
Who were supposed to love us.
Insults echoing in our homes. ...
Then she says, “I could never hate you,
You built a strong woman with your insults.
Now I know what I will and won’t put up with.”
You taught me to cook,
How refreshing it is to bake cookies at midnight.
You’re the reason I dance
In the frozen section to music I never knew.
We bonded over our broken pasts,
Both of us screaming childhood screams.
We saw the worst in those
Who were supposed to love us.
Insults echoing in our homes. ...

I will rise and shine
I will rise and shine
Early tomorrow morning
I am not planning to sleep in
During the morning
And waste a day
Also father you brought more snow
It snow last night when I was sleeping
And this morning still snowing
I hope it ends this afternoon
I am not planning to go out
Anywhere today
I will stay in today
And I will do some work for my Father
Early tomorrow morning
I am not planning to sleep in
During the morning
And waste a day
Also father you brought more snow
It snow last night when I was sleeping
And this morning still snowing
I hope it ends this afternoon
I am not planning to go out
Anywhere today
I will stay in today
And I will do some work for my Father

Little Sam
Little Sam
I am so glad that we
Get along just fine
Also we have the same
Interests
That is a good thing
Little Sam
Are you also a Christian like me
From birth to adulthood
I am dying to know
Also do you pray to God
The same way I do
Every single night
Before you go bed
Yes I do
But I am not a Christian
Little Sam
I enjoy going out with you
Today we spend our day
Together at the Eaton Centre
We walk inside the mall
While it snow outside
Also we had our healthy lunch
I am so glad that we
Get along just fine
Also we have the same
Interests
That is a good thing
Little Sam
Are you also a Christian like me
From birth to adulthood
I am dying to know
Also do you pray to God
The same way I do
Every single night

Love and War
How are we so far apart in this bed?
Sleeping with venom in our hearts
Tension fills the room when we’re together
It’s love and war between us
Since when did we become enemies?
Fighting on opposite sides
Two atomic bombs ready to explode
The battle line was drawn when the arguments lingered long after malicious words were spewed
Like a gunshot what’s said can’t be taken back
The wound stays hidden under layers of resentment
Building like mold until it festers over the foundation we’ve made
What remains is similar to a war torn...
Sleeping with venom in our hearts

The wound stays hidden under layers of resentment
Building like mold until it festers over the foundation we’ve made

Between These Lines
Let my tears fall between these lines
Because I feel too empty to let them fall down my face
Confidence I had to front cause I never had it
Writing is therapeutic so I used that to cope
I contemplate if happiness can save my soul
Trying to wiggle through this maze to find my worth as a man
My mind backpedaling to the demons I can’t seem to exercise
Middle of the night I wake up to my own cries
I keep running away from my insecurities but they keep catching up to me.
Because I feel too empty to let them fall down my face
Confidence I had to front cause I never had it
Writing is therapeutic so I used that to cope
I contemplate if happiness can save my soul
Trying to wiggle through this maze to find my worth as a man
My mind backpedaling to the demons I can’t seem to exercise
Middle of the night I wake up to my own cries
I keep running away from my insecurities but they keep catching up to me.

I'm not you
I'm not you and you are not me 😞 to tell me that what, I got going on in my own body and mind and spiritual soul, is not what I have been dealing with for awhile now ain't cancer. FOR sure you don't have to take my words of what I say is the truth. For sure who are you to judge someone who's whole life, has been turned up side down having to deal with cancer. For like I've said I'm not you and you are not me, fighting for my life s second time in my own life time. 🙏 Yet you insist that you know me when you really don't bother to do your own research, for sure I don't have no...

Wishes and Dreams
Wishes and Dreams
We all have wishes and dreams and mine are of you
although there will not be a time when those wishes
and dreams will come true.
And so I name you a star in that heavenly night
but not the typical star one that is phenomenally bright
because that is how you are to me and though I will not share
this with you it is still how it shall be.
Wish.....Wish.....wish wishing upon a star.
So far away I wonder how you are.
Are you okay?
Are you happy?
I wish you these things.
I hope...

Why Does She Stay With Me?
Possessing a diagnosis that makes you feel like you’re living on the dark side of the moon. Psychosis! Why does she stay with me?
Possessing this thunder in your heart with the hope that one day you’ll wake up and it’ll just be a bad dream. No! It’s permanent, so, I beg the question again, why does she stay with me?
I look at her with love. Love of something so much better than me. She sees me, yet, not the disorder which plagues me. Why, why does she stay with me?
She looks at me with love. Love of something she holds so dear. And I see her, yet, notice nothing...

Father will be there
Father will be there
To heal me from my sickness
Any time today
Father will be there
And put me to sleep
This night
I need that badly
Father will be there
To pray together with me
Before I go to sleep
We will pray for the countries that
Are in war
Also, we are going to pray
For us both
Father, you know me well
You can always trust me
I will never let you down
Because you hate
To be let down
Father, I will treat you respect
Also, I don't make promises
To you that I can't keep
I am...
To heal me from my sickness
Any time today
Father will be there
And put me to sleep
This night

Polvo Brazileiro
I am also proud
To belong to the
Polvo Brazileiro
Also many years when
I was born one Brazilian
Polvo
I lived in São Paulo
I had been robed while walking
In the street of São Paulo
And it is not safe to walking in São Paulo
You also could be killed in the street in São Paulo
Also in São Paulo you can't drive you car with you
Window open
I never liked living in São Paulo
When I was just a teenager
I moved out of São Paulo
To Canada
I love living in Canada
At least it is safe to walk on the streets ...
To belong to the
Polvo Brazileiro

Goodbye
Rest In Peace to Myself.
The final call has been made, and with it, a quiet goodbye to what's been.
The Last salute offered to the memories, the moments, and the pieces of me that once lived here.
It's time to let go, to rest in the stillness that follows the end of a chapter.
The journey has closed, and the silence speaks now, but in that silence, there's peace.
The past is no longer mine to carry. It's time to rest.
Goodbye.
