The Long necked: Straight Shoe
Day 7, neighboring the month 7,
The sky changed her cloak till they were 7.
At 7, on that day 7,
Mother cried, shouted, times like 7.
Then the infant with lips bellicosing,
Smiled 7, till doctor spanked, and cried in 7 rhythms.
At age 7, his muse led him in 7 paths:
Music, drawing, singing, reading, and three other arts.
At 7 per post- meridian, he prayed often.
7 Psalms he read, schools he went 7.
Now, he's grown,
7 in three places old.
Aiming at visiting 7 countries,
Eating 7 Packs of Pizza and Earning 7...

You and Me
Focus more on the positives that life has to offer
Hold onto them tightly or place them in a coffer
The world frequently offers infinite distractions
Designed to divide & conquer like political factions
Creating mixed fractions instead of solidarity
This will never change as displayed by history
It's up to you me to be the change we want to see
Instead of us complacently watching misery
Hold onto them tightly or place them in a coffer
The world frequently offers infinite distractions
Designed to divide & conquer like political factions
Creating mixed fractions instead of solidarity
This will never change as displayed by history
It's up to you me to be the change we want to see
Instead of us complacently watching misery

Women
Women,
We are more, so much more than we ever thought
Yes we were created help meet, but we marveled their expectations
Our strength is overwhelming
We bring things back to life
No efforts needs proving
There are evidences to our presence
Every day is another job for us no matter the age
Under pressure, duress, fear, shame, neglect, pain, Insults, Bad and Happy times
We listen, try to understand, support, show amazing care and availability
PLUS
We deliver outstandingly
We were born for this
To all my Girls, Aunts, Mum,...

Dream it, Belief it, Reach it
We learn by every single experience.
If we didn't, we wouldn't be available to make our knowledge large.
We use all we remember taught to handle our challenges.
Also every consequence we meet in every different ways.
If we didn´t got through tough times,
we wouldn´t learn to appreciate the small goods we have got by life.
Keep your' head up,
Believe in yourself,
If you tell yourself, you can´t handle the toughest challenges,
It will be harder,
To know what strengthe you posess.
Dream it,

To the ladies of the world.
Aim for the moon
Even if you miss youll be amongst the stars
You werent born to be grounded
Universally designed to heal hearts.
The power that dwells in you isnt meant to be hidden
It was created to shine like the sun
You beauty wasnt considered by shape
You shaped the definition of beauty
Like a goddess you age doesnt end your reign
For the passion in a womans heart is eternal
Many have considered it dead
No one killed it in you its well and alive
Stand tall, head up maintain that stride
In the beginning dawn of man
One...

A Recollection
Memories come rushing back
of the friends once forgot
in the mists of living angst
behind the veil of private death
the exclamations that surprise
distant echoes of the past
breaking walls built with lies
that no one cares for this life
one or another is enough
the darkness broke by a light
lit from above to reveal
what came before the misery
a recollection that does not care
for the darkness left behind
asking for a smile to spring
when reminded what life brings.

Boundless Body
From the places where all veins meet,
these welling lakes within...
Oh, beating seed of light!
drowning lungs
in prayer,
Growing flowers bright
from all these
bones.
Your crying sound,
in the heart of a broken man,
Still dreaming on park benches,
(are you my brother)
thinking
"oh, Dark Days,"
Collects nickels in plastic,
shaking cup-worn
...

the road to heaven
♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
i w i s h i were a l i t t l e bird
that knew the road to heaven
for when the sun is set
and the world lies still
i would t r a v e l
on a star
to my
rest
lest
my cry
strays afar
may the marvel
of my Father’s Will
relieve me of earth’s debt

A special solution
Sun, sand, sea, self discovery
This seems like a special solution
Hills, heights, hikes, new freedom
Lots of questions, I found a resolution
Flying south to La Palma, seeing molten Lava
Fresh island air, releasing my cares
My mind now refreshed, my resistances addressed
Finding my feet and soaking up that heat
When your in good spirits and forget about your limits
not counting away those wasted minutes
The world is open to you
This seems like a special solution
Hills, heights, hikes, new freedom
Lots of questions, I found a resolution
Flying south to La Palma, seeing molten Lava
Fresh island air, releasing my cares
My mind now refreshed, my resistances addressed
Finding my feet and soaking up that heat
When your in good spirits and forget about your limits
not counting away those wasted minutes
The world is open to you

Lost in His love (A Rap Song)
Once upon a time, I used to live,
In pain, tears and misery.
Dining and wining in sin:
Growing fatter on what kills.
I thought I was sane, like twas real,
But I was kidding: I was death's prey.
Then it came, on an innocent dawn:
Who's to come to make me his son.
Thought at first, twas a lion's den.
Then just next, he is the lion in the den.
He gave me all I could scarce think of,
Now tell me, how crazy you won't love such.
I love him from the breath of the hay:
When it heave a sigh, crafting bredth of the day. ...
In pain, tears and misery.

Solitude Ain't Rude
Mute the noise being made around you
That includes some people in your crew
Solitude ain't rude, it's a valuable necessity
To remain sane abstain from all the insanity
Don't be in a hurry to race through each day
We are just vapors that can quickly dissipate
So pace your stride while pursuing the cheese
Realize life's more than just money & degrees
Do as you please but please don't be a marionette
Pinocchio was a ho if you haven't learned that yet
Demand respect letting no one interject your truth
Consume lots of...
