Falling softly, building up,
Soaking me in pain.
No hope or salvation;
Will I ever feel light again?
Without warning, no reason
For feeling this way.
It is real and it is raw;
In what game do we play?
Life's contest, our battle ground,
We face it each day.
Our destiny in our hands;
Or is it slipping away?
Our thoughts, good or bad,
They shape our moment.
We own them, control them;
Can they liberate us from torment?
You own how you are,
A solitary dancer.
Choose white, reject black;
Is this the simple answer?

I hear the cries emanating from your words
Every letter of every sentence is a story
that only your broken heart can tell.
The longing for peace inside
brings chaos within your cracked bones
I hope that honey starts to drip
out of your scars instead of blood.
The thoughts spinning in your mind
now resemble the whorls in outer space
galaxies of decisions to take
follow the path of stars that lie in your heart.
I know how hard it is to open your eyes
face the world
and live behind your insecurities
let your skin jump from excitement
not from fear that causes constriction of yourself.
You haven't failed yourself
when you chose silence over speech
these pens have screamed louder than anything
one day they will hurt those who wounded you
so that the guilt inside
will keep them awake night after night,
I will continue to pray for you.
Soft heart and lips,
skin like pillows
chest a haven for whoever
is privileged enough
to find comfort in it
don't let the harsh days
blister the frame
that holds you, the artwork, together.
Allow these poems to rebuild you
so that you realize that homes out of people
burn faster than gasoline on fire
and that the paradise you crafted
out of your bathroom floor
corners of busy rooms
tears on scratched paper
and wrinkles on your tired forehead
is the one that will revive you forever.
Stay strong.

****** so much ******
Hatred, so much hatred
all that anger
how could you be so cruel
cause so much hurt and pain
Stress, so much stress
Crime, so much crime
all that death
how could you be so mean
cause so much destruction
Dieing, so many dieing
Sick, so many sick
all that sadness
how could you eat while so many die of hunger
cause so many reasons to be hated
BUT
Potential, so much potential
Love, so much love
all that technology
how did you create something so beautiful
cause so much happiness
Charity, so much charity
Money, so much money
all that intelligence
how did you answer that
cause so much variety
People, so many people
life, so much life
all that water
how did you survive all those wars
cause so much love
Hope, so much hope
Caring, so many caring
Brave, so many brave
Limits, so many being broken
Relationships, so many being created
WHAT WILL YOU BE JUDGED ON

To the tree that's been so lonely for so long
To the tree that gives leaves when the sun glows
To the tree that watches you when you are sweeping
To the tree that gives plant and fruits to eat
To the tree that shields you when there's a rain
To the tree that gives alive to the animals were they could get food
To the tree that helps prevent floods
To the tree that gives us life to breath e fresh air
And to the tree which makelovers seat the bench that made by tree
And If only human being knows how to protect and loved you
Then Mother Earth will be crying no more
Give chance, hope
And love the tree.
Will you borrow your ears once more?
