Bright white stars
Shining down on shadowed wet grass
Under a canopy of sweet almond trees
Your bright ebon skin
Unencumbered, Just as sweet
With a couple of rain drops on your cheeks
Eyes doused in mirth
Cause I'm soaking wet
But all I can think of are those bright stars
shining from your twilight gaze

Up, down, round and round
With sweet smiles and crescent eyes
Heads swaying, arms waving
It's what they'd call a good time
We're just trying to have fun
Up, down, round and round
Careless footsteps and delightful shrieks
Muscles tensing than relax
It's loud and proud
We don't care what they think
Up, down, round and round
Hair whipping frantically
Fists pounding excitedly
It's alright as long as they're entertained
We don't need a reason
Up, down, round and round
Tears gliding down a broken face
Rough hands pull up, push down, then kick around
Scrunched up minute body accented by shallow breaths and muffled yowls
Up, down, round and round
It might be a little cruel
But they all say life's unfair
We're just trying to have fun

Lonely
In the corner
Staring into an abyss
of pointless options
And all the edges
in the world
Aren't sharp enough
to cut through
The concrete wall
surrounding her heart
Cold
In a crowded room
Searching for an empathetic face
She sees the smiles
filling the empty space
And it seems
that no amount of joy
Is real enough
to take the fears place

I want the poetry to mean something tonight,
as I pace in my bedroom for hours
under jaundiced fluorescent light.
I want to write something profound and true,
something of solvence to rid the demons to which I'm glued.

The memories dance around in my head
The happy times which have passed
Serve as my one distraction
Serve as my liberator
From the searing fire
Contained in my skull
It tempers the crashing waves
Bursting from my chest
Yet, This is all digression
I thank the happy ones
I thank the liberators
For without them
I would be burned alive
I would be drowned
They keep me afloat
They stifle the flames
So, I cannot help but say
Thank You

Look around you
What do you see
In everyone I meet
There is a whole lot of me
Look in to the sky
Any given eye
Sees it just like me
We are one under the sun
Our petty differences
What ever happened to
Live and let live
If you do unto others
As you would have them
Do unto you
We've got a long way
To go Towards achieving peace
A long way toward loving one another
I could sit here
And **** on it
Stop it from happening
So many people
Not thinking they are one
They are one under the sun
Give it time
There is no expiry date
There is no time
No such thing as of late
One under the sun
Just one only one
Under the sun

If I put pen to flesh
And impress my thoughts in ink
Perhaps my skin will absorb the essence of my scrawls
My hopes, dreams and loves
Sunk into my pores
Become a part of me
