Portion of BeautyYour beauty I am astounded as if sun rise sky
A soft voice, tender smile filled enticing enthusiast
Behind it, I can feel vibes of a good soul
My words twisted like two entangled breathless
I speak them many times, over and over
How this suppose play out in real world
Romanticism between souls as...

Grandma Shares the TruthPoindexter was irritated about his name
His litter mates were Frisky, Fralin, Frederick and Frances.
Why had he not been blessed with a name beginning with an F?
He could not ask his mother, for that might seem disrespectful.
His father was not approachable, so he dared not ask him.
He finally asked his grandmother who knew exactly why.
They looked...

GardeningIt was time for them to face the out of doors.
Five weeks ago, I planted them indoors as seeds.
Yesterday, I planted the little tender plants in the garden.
By nightfall, they were being beaten by the wind and
rain, and it seemed that their likelihood for survival was
dim. Today, I proped them up, providing a little...

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONSome say crucify him
Many said enslave him
Others said neglect him
Few said let's hear from him
They never wanna listen to his messages.
Some say let's rectify him
Many said let's edify him
Others said let's glorify him
Few said no let's nail him
Now some can relate
But they don't want his rule.
He's always prepare
Ready to fight for his right
Defending his personality...

Feeling Tired In LifeIf feel tired of life
You can rest for a while
Take a break, settle down
Rest your body, heart and mind
I used to get tired of life
Sometimes, I have been down
I have been blank and lost
But not to the point of surrender
It's normal to experience that way
Each of us has the method of repairing
Of...

DISHESI'm the vibes, they're the vipers
I give healing, them keep killing
Words my medicine, call me words smith
Deceit and betrayal their weapons
I call them cobra, them are snitches.
I'm the owner
Them the controller
I always act like
I own or know nothing
They're so ruthless
Acting like they own or know it all.
I'm the completer
They're the...

Purple Dreams In Other RealmsOnce upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,
she shone like the midnight sun;
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore !

Echoes of Fading LightIn the cheer chat, where joy should unite,
A ten-year-old girl causes drama day and night
She calls me a brat, a jerk, selfish and ugly too,
But she's the one acting out, it's true.
She says she wants to push me off a cliff,
Her words so harsh, they make my spirit stiff.
As I debate my life's worth, feeling...

The Moment of SpringThe Moment of Spring
The valley at last in full bloom
Frosty nights
And wind machines in the morning
Flowers all calling
Buzzing bees in the day.
Everywhere greens have emerged
Fresh and moist and innocent
A wave of Life cresting
Before summer’s heat
Makes it all tired and dry
Dashed upon the beach
In its inevitable fall to winter.
But in this moment ...

Finding The Purpose In LifeClouds can close the stars
But can't extinguish them
It means that I did not see you
But it means what I see in you
No one can guarantee a full success
If you don't, who else will do
If you can't write, someone will do
If you don't take it in your hand
There would always be someone else
In real life there...

Freedom Is Infinite Power Of The SpiritHolding a butterfly in your own fist
Is the bottom line of life and freedom
Squeeze harder the butterfly would die
Letting the butterfly fly is his right
Not turn cemetery of beautiful moments
Letting go a person is not fall in love
Letting go a person is not kind of loss
It's an act of love, act of recognition
Letting go isn't...

People are polite.' Which has led in part to 'where we are'

Legs race faster
Thoughts race out of hand
