Just a man that`s mixed and fascinated by the mixture of shadows and light.
Why do the colors black and white fight? They are all the same on the inside. All colors are civil, white or black. To seperate them isn't right Though they're are all but light stained. By white or black, they're both the same If a rose is a sweet under any name Why can't color be so in every way. Black and white are but seperate side, Hating each other like our own lives Why can't we see we are more than colors Like the colors are more than light that shines

Colors
The world asks us, who are you At one point I would have answered But I have seen the world around us And seen that others don't care. My classmate comprise of many lies Grown slowly into true and fact Just ask around, I request you Our questioning world, to take your line back! A world of queer and question galore One that a refused to accept before I am an anomaly of color and ethnicity The answer of who I am buried in years yet be. Life isn't meant to be the same for you and me Because we must be held to our own destiny We are different in what we truly do So the true question is, what do you see to be true?

Who are you?
I see her sitting there, deep in her thoughts. Is she thinking of her day, like I feel many do? Or is she seeing me thinking furiously Thinking of how beautiful she is. Like a dancing flower in the winds of the spring She makes me turn my head with her pure voice I wish to tell her how I feel about her shining eyes But I am bound by chains of my fear Fear that she will say no and it will change everything Fear that she will say yes and then regret it Fear that she will ignore my request So once again I try to forget it. But it will never be forgoten.

Tell Her
Why is the shadows considered evil When the shadows are as important as the light As darkness is the absence of daylight Just as Daylight is the absence of dark Why is a hero considered pure When the hero is just as murderous as the villain As the hero is in the eye of the beholder Just as a villain is only villainous to the victims

Pure Shadows
I remember when the first flower sprang from its bud The world awoken from a long, frigid sleep As the rain fed the rivers and fell with a thud The bear poked up without making a peep. I remember when the first sunbeam shone The world shining a million colors As the berries become ripe and juicy The bear caught salmon in the river bank I remember when the first leaf fell The world's bright colors being muted by the brown As the harvest causes the food to be abundant The bear stuff itself for the winter ahead. I remember when the first snowstorm blew The world being covered in a shining white veil As the frigid cold forces the flowers to sleep The bear naps until the first flower blooms.

The Bear Seasons
My heart still beats for her love, yet it will never be. Like the light cut off by the leaves of the tree I was but a flower, waiting for the next tree's rein to end So I may feel the sunlight that never comes again. I felt incomplete. The world was but a trial for me, Filled with couple after couple brimming with happiness. And I was but a humble shadow, Unfit for the world. My heart falling into my chest with pain. But, the time for your sun is over. My heart will heal again. As it must every time you reject my love. I don't need your love anymore. And yet, I can't move on.

Move on.
A drop of water falls from the storm Descending from above a feared road As it falls on the window of a room It meets its fate on the way down. A drop of water falls from the bags Drowned out by the endless, single beep. As his heart fails from his illness His soul meets its fate on his way down. A drop of water falls from the eyes Brown Hazel eyes that gaze on him. Loving him and yet full of hate For the horrid fate that made him fall. A drop of water falls from the storm With every drop, a story untold As with every life when it began And continues on the way down.

A Drop of Water
A poet's hands are slow and small Surveying the mind for a new poem to tell Before putting their pen to the paper Taking the time to think and to toil Growing as slow as a small White Cedar. An artist's hands are fast and crafty Rushing to capture the moment ahead Stopping only to change their pallets Creating worlds of wonder and woe With passion as wonderful as a drooping Willow. A musician's hands are rough and beautiful Playing their instrument with the power of a hero Each one standing out among any other The notes of their nectar flowing like a rushing waterfall Making music as sweet as a Maple's sap. A child's hands are ever changing Learning skills unique to them alone No two child hands are the same, yet all fit in Like a sapling growing in a forest of art Growing to become a mighty tree of its own.
