Night sweat without slumber
We chased after our goals walking *****
Roads were dirt
Roads were muddy
Still I remember
We vowed to change the world
We broke our vows walking too tall
Laughing away the pain in black and white images
Nobody knew

Wives had no business
They stayed home
They knew nothing of the outside
Our pain was hidden from them
We were taught to be strong
Substitute our tears with smiles
We've lived through this
Seeing another day break in half

We build on top of historical grounds
Seeking immortality
Death was staring us in our face daily
We wanted to shape the future for those who will walk through life
Some lost their minds knowing death
Our strength was forgotten
Our souls were sold into shaping the future that we wouldn’t see
So many mistakes
So many memories collected
Nobody knew

We died offering everything to get nowhere
night sweats were adding up
102 years ago
I still remember
I could never forget
Though we've died
I've came back
I see our strength was wasted
Nobody knows hard work
Everything is too easy
Everything comes without effort
Take me back to 1915

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Broken souls carry the past
Never a future to begin with
Fragments of a broken heart
Peace that cannot be found
So impossible
A thought of how these things came to be and why
Why is the broken never fixed when glued so tight?
Why does the soul fight hard to escape its temple?
My worries are not in what's to come in the future but how can fix what's current.
Do I run towards the hand that reaches to save me or do I fall on face repeatedly asking for a way out.
Pain kisses my lips more then Gods grace and forgiveness
I speak the truth with a broken soul
I eat what is good and it turns bitter all the time.
My hands shake the hands of reality that tells me that I'm hopeless, joke, useless, and yet I still force myself to find a light of beauty that everybody speaks of...
Where is this beauty that everybody speaks of?
Life is a twist within a twist
Based on confusion
Turning hope into a lost tale

By: Leory Santana Dawn
She  bites into my wrist
I love the pain she inflicts
She scratches me deeply
I beg for more pain
She takes a knife to my skin
Skin me like a cat
She cries in the process
Let your tears fall on my wounds
She beats me until I'm unconscious
I'll awakened later
She yells at me from her *****
I listen clearly  and carefully
She kills me
I get abused by her still from the other side

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Dirt over your name
Worms eating you away
Impulsive I was
Hoping for the littlest sparkle
Naïve  I was to think that the unfit would fill her way in
My poor judgement
I pity not myself anymore nor you

A letter to the unfit
Favor amongst your desires
Bring you blessings above all other blessings
I seek not time of tribulations for you
I hate you no longer
The mistakes aren't mistakes but written scripts that needed to be executed

You're free
You're free amongst your goals
What you deserve
I hope nothing more but the best
A letter to the unfit

An outstanding fault turned into something that was promised
before our very existence to happen

I love you not the same as before but through your happiness I love you


Blesseth be you who reads this
A letter to the unfit

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Surrender your heart like an offering to God
Touch me like you're  reaching for furthest star that caught your attention; better yet a piece of glass that you're gluing back into your life
Chase after me as if it's a rainy day and you just decided to play in the rain combining your tears and emotions all into one source of happiness and desire of new found fate
Follow me like you follow your dreams folding within each other
Love me as if I'm going to die at any moment making each
breath apart of your memory
Love me in the hopes of never seeing a
ending so heartbreaking

By: Leory Santana Dawn
The creases of your lips sinking into my skin
Each kiss flowing down my spine tickling my soul out of it's shell
I pursue my thoughts and desires
A sense of faith that this will never end
I want a tale within a tale
That I'll limp in pain in my feet to just to see what will happen as God will throw me me in your arms reach

By: Leory Santana Dawn
All the right ways
I'll find a way to get back
Paulses in your vain
I'll run through your body
Like an earth worm
Share your lips with me
I'll build a collection of exchanges
A kiss bank
Do the are handprints connect?
I'll cage the romance; it'll never fade
We'll be trapped in amber

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Don't know who awaits me in the corner
Behind the door
in the bushes
But most certainly they'll be loved
Most certainly they'll have my soul in their hands having me as their puppet
My strings will be unbreakable
As long as I'm cared for with diligence
I won't lose my value
I'll be more than the coins in their pockets
I'll be their token
Don't know who awaits me in the fog
But when they find me they'll never desire any chances of losing me
They'll hold me captive in their heart without a time frame
I'll be apart of their wasted youth
Their daily returns
I'll be apart of who they are or will become
They'll love me with everything that makes them who they are
They'll know that they've loved me before I came to exist

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Wishing I knew the feeling of having you aside me on a cloudy day
rain on top of rain

I'm parched with your presence.
No escaping in mind
No escaping
My world folds

I've lived to dive in between your arms with a gentle breeze brushing against the tiny hairs on your neck. My precious limestone you are; the walking life in my existence you've came to be.

No telling in the time I'll crash
No space within my soul
My found soul no longer cold

Bring me to the day I'll wake up, my medium size hands touching my face, my breath getting heavier, and my heart skipping a beat

What a dream
What a dream
What a dream
You were

Too much to handle with my fantasy; your beautiful mind and feminism has over flooded  my mind with questions

Spear me I beg
Hear me

I'm full spiritually with hope that the day's will bring you back to me whole and not portions of my desires
No mind tricks from imagination

A one to love
A one to be loved
And a romantic death

I'll love you when those days become promising
I'll love you without the promising days

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Does she take your new breath away
Does her shallow heart capture your attention into blindness
I guess she's your image of beauty if I'm not
Stolen words
Leading to a stolen heart
Does she reach the depths of your lost soul
A competition you say that doesn't exist but I've seen better these times of crisis and yet you sleep to wake up in your filth and lies
Does she grant wishes that I cannot
My replacer stares me down 18 blocks away where I cannot see and you do nothing but allow her to soak you within an imagination
of possibilities
Does she carry the pavement more firmly than I do
Morning kisses forever sweet?
Conversations of reality?
Is she the full package ?


By: Leory Santana Dawn
Back to you and I'll love you dearly forever
In the night we lied beside each other
Kisses were sterling silver and time was no more just as space.
You took me all in space with your gentle hands that brushed upon my naked body. I inhaled the sweetness and sour sweat with a passion knowing that it was only right that I was beside you. I've came to realize my desire was you all along and I've tried to escape my fear; my fear that I was falling too fast for you. Like potion in the nightfall you swept me away...it was only beauty that blinded me not love

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Be careful
Come back as you left
No bruises
No death
Be careful
Come back with open arms
No sorrow
No headache
No bad tongue
Come back as you left
Don't let the rain catch you
Stay dry
No wet clothing smell
Don't let the unknown bring you back
To me dead
By: Leory Santana Dawn
My world spins within your twilight
Morning falling behind the sun couldn't possibly be any more beautiful without you.
Blooming with the desert I grew from the ground like a cactus taking me away within your thoughts, heart, and desires.
From birth things were already written that I'll become one with my other world that's instilled in you

By: leory Santana dawn
A lost of  time
Another day; same path
There's no escape
Tears take the same route down the cheeks

Gravity grows stronger
A force by death
A force inevitable
Nothing can be done

Cut the string
let it go...
let the wind take it away

It's easier to give up oppose to trying

Cloudy mind and stormy with lightning
Where's faith when you need it?

Cut the string
Let it go...
There's freedom on the other side

Perhaps a brighter day with many more days following behind

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Night wrapped in night
came to take me
my bones shattered
my vessel was cast away
Day wrapped in day
Awakened me
I've became whole
A new breath
A new beginning
New opportunities

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Thoughts are scattered
Words are lost
I rely on your existence
keep me at peace
My heart heavy
My body weightless
I only smile within your presence
My cup runneth over
My stomach full
Surely I have a vision to share with you
Darling
Darling with the sweetest heart

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Dear love I've forgotten how to breathe
My light dimmed by the day
My life at its slowest...
Dear love I've forgotten how to cry out loud
I've forgotten who I am
Is the view of the world slanted within your rare view?
A well built imagination of what you'll love me to become
My ****** body wouldn't allow you to keep falling before your time is called to serve
Lack of understanding allowed us to become
a project of what most people have lost the feeling of
Our soulmates are ideals of ourselves
I won't attend to losing myself within your views

By: Leory Santana Dawn
“Never going to be” when is love ever pure you honestly don’t know life and love. People fight, people are different Within a relationship than they are themselves. The first thing a person does before entering a relationship is sacrifice their sanity, dignity, character and emotional trauma; to fulfill somebody else’s life and existence.  Love is not a finding the perfect person it’s about picking the fruit that has a little sourness and sweet; you talk about not having things in common but yet we did and a lot of things. You decided to change on me, I happen to like the same things I’ve liked three years ago while being with you and you look at me differently. I didn’t change you did;  the only thing that changed was my attitude dealing with you.
I’ve never changed
I’m more hurt at the fact that you never seen what you’ve been doing to me than me reminding you that I’m hurt.

Don't go creeping in the Devils nest
I'll warn you now
I'll warn after
Don't glare in the Devils eyes; he'll tarnish you
Seeking the truth  
You are?

Forget it

He'll make his lies reality

By: Leory Santana Dawn
When life begins to fold within itself... Will it capture us?
All that beauty and art that we can become together in this madness.
Shall we become a ball of crumble would our love get caught in the mixture of this tangled mess? Or will we despair?
If life undressed us down to the soul will you see me and
be my equal?
Or will you see past me?
If we were stuck together would I be within you or would you be within me?

Whatever gets you here
Or gets me there... Is worth the capture and unravel.

Other half of me
Falling in the depths of projected storylines; it all seemed too beautiful to comprehend.

My tongue was enslaved by butterflies and my lips were sealed by sap.

I didn't give it any thought while wondering on the rocky sphere chasing after the moon and the Sun as they took turns winning 24 hour races.

I've chanted the words that gave me a chance to look behind the illusions that blinded everybody else.

Our lives have became novels, our lives have been in shame far too long; we go so far in history just to be remembered for the beautiful things that were carried out in life.

I only ask that I'll be remembered for my soul wanting to love everybody.

My path is loaded with encounters... There's nothing that I can do.

By: Leory Sanatana Dawn
A lie  was told
It's free for them
Others spend years paying
To breath cost a lot just as well as sleeping
A lie that was told
We die as they strive to live forever robbing from the innocent, the poor, and the dead

They ****
They take
They lie
They destroy

While we're in ******* for such crimes
A free country
If only my laughter was heard
Where is this free country?

Our rules were founded by criminals
That's even more hilarious
We beg
Give our lives
Make many more sacrifices

They smile
It's a joke to them
A sick joke

A free country for them
We dwell in it

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Blooming in the garden
So many life forms
So many flowers
My favorite of all blackthorns
Slow pacing in the garden
Windiest of the days and seasons
My favorite scene
My hands brushing against the plants I can't name
I listen to nature sing to me different songs
Crickets of the night
They came so early to sing me
A fine lady's lady bug resting on my shoulder
How thoughtful
Such beauty leaves me speechless
I get tongue tide
The night falls with clear skies
A breeze that rushes along the rushing cars
My hands swing aside my body
And wonder is this what growing kids turn into after birth; some grow into anything in the category of life.
Some may ******
Some may become hard workers
Some may become entertainers
Anything in life that has a label

Start off as Gods innocent creations to turn into Gods rebellion

Aging with time has no limit to death; as a single tear will fall for those who are lost ones

What have we've became of ourselves this raging time forgetting our values and decisions
Her
Her
Her touches are like night reaching towards the light
Lips are her pilot reaching towards mine, I can only indulge in the art of us being united as one.

By: Leory Santana Dawn
she slips away like fine thread
Between my fingers she falls
I still manage to pull her back
After all these years of searching in the wrong places
She kisses me
Every kiss freshened

By:  Leory Santana Dawn
Scorpio Love
Filled with light
Full of life
Her voice should be heard

She doesn't need pity
Only open ears
She needs to held

She stands in depression
I empathize
She soaks herself in the rain
camouflaging her tears
I take her
I take her inside

She has a voice that's needs to be heard
Behind her words
The loniness is displayed
Behind her tears
there's chaos

Her mind is beautiful
But troubled
I understand her meaning
I'm her open ears

How can white supremacist protest about making America a better place by concentrating on hating people because of differences? Something that's dates back further than Europeans and Spaniards settlement in this beautiful country. Have these people of today's world forgotten where they've came from as far as their ancestry and about the people whom they've slaughtered were in fact the Natives. They forced people to fall under their religions as far as Christianity and so on. African american women and men know that they're African decedents; but they know nothing about what was taken from them and we overlook it.

People that are apart of the LGBT community finally have the freedom to do as they wish with whomever and these white supremacist want to take that away from them again.

KKK's are against interracial relationships and yet some of their people within their bloodline ***** a lot people; let us not forget according to history the first interracial relationship in America dates back to April 5, 1614
Pocahontas and John Rolfe.

Jews were tortured by Nazis from 1933 to 1945.

Hispanics escape their originally places of birth to come to a country that gives people the right to make a better life for themselves and decisions just as well as everybody else.

People are so busy minding everybody else's business but their own

History creeps up on the current.

By: Leory Santana Dawn
There was a mist within my heart
Like many mysteries to uncover under the shadows of the deep; A blissful moment within the depths of life...times mine

I kept you by the warmth of my skin as love became  a new definition to detail that brief story of falling in love with the woman that caught me by the hand and I stood bluntly with a smile

Each touch became lost in time making my body too weak to ease it's own pain with the blindness in my eyes I seen an angel I'll call my own; I soaked in sadness as I carried on the weight of losing you

Moonlight against my window hitting my face with the night as I wondered around in my thoughts that there will be something that I can do to bring you back within the silence of your soul and body

My tears won't swim as furthest as the sea
Holding pictures that'll become like the lost sea scroll

Hold...me....Just....
Just hold me

My pulses are slower; my blood rushing down on the edges of my spin with my veins contracted by force and fear that you will not come back physically but by dreams that seemed to be centuries on top of centuries

I kept you close...
Close as the night painted itself in the image of my world with a spec of light that led towards you

Only a step away that seems like forever
By: leory Santana Dawn
Postitioned in my sight of mind
I do liveth with the art of heart
Kissing in the mourning of brightness; the nightfall becomes the sweetest ever.

Guiding me by my wrist towards
You
Holding me so tightly with slight to be my piece of peace

I couldn't dare imagine such moments without thou near my right side. You'll only leave when time is broken, when the darkness in the day becomes forever

Eternal love
Eternal peace
Eternal youth
In this same time frame

Time on top of time I'll be sure to be with you

By: Leory Santana Dawn
OUR SOULS ARE MOLDED DEEPLY IN OUR IMPERFECTION;
NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE...

Can't grasp perfection
It's like grabbing air

By: Leory Santana Dawn

To be continued
The emotions of a relation
only draws me closer to the ship
You say you're capable of loving me
I give the zero doubts for I've been fallen for you before the first breath of life
I love you whole heartedly
If God had not molded you any sooner
Where would my heart be?
In raging pain of a broken heart fixed on loves entity and existence
By: Leory Santana Dawn
How do you fill the hole in a heart
When the body is a hole itself?
Electrocute my soul to wake me up
Wake me up from my emptiness and I'll find that there's more emotiness while awake.

I'm convicted
Convicted of living the life that I don't desire but the life that was given in misery

I'm accompanied by false happiness
Given by the skeleton hands itself
With roses of death and pain

Empty my body where it stands from the morning until night because I can't find my breath
I can't breathe anymore but yet I'm alive within myself while my body moves

Capture me before I fall because grace hasn't found me

Interlaced with her existence
I'm defined by a new found love that sweeps me off the heavy grounds of life to only be lifted 50 feet higher from the surface.
There's more beauty in the world than I've actually expected; there's so much more through you than I've expected... I only want to wake up beside you when this year is over; when this year has closer to enter the next I'll be with you forever as I've promised myself.

Pardon my soul for I've came to realize that I'm entirely yours and yet a lone I'm still of lost world.

By: Leory Dawn
She pinches me awake even though I'm already awake
Her fingerprints engraved in my skin
I've promised to never remove her touches
For that each one is kept dearly in my memories

She smiles to hide that she wants me to stay but there will always come times I must depart becoming one with myself in the nightfall
I've seen the tears in her happiness even though she hides it others
I know her better behind the shattered emotions

She holds me tight
Looks at  me with her soul making me swear to her that I won't ever leave and I make that promise reality even through the difficulties

I won't see her broken
I won't see her alone
I won't

By: Leory Santana Dawn
The leaves may take season
while I grow in this hole wanting this to end
     A raining day may appear at any moment while I sit here wondering where did I go wrong
     The earth may rotate nonstop while I lose myself consistently to the things that I cannot control
God may look down upon me; crying as he did for all his other children... I will find myself apologizing for the hollow shell I've became
  When did I stop living ?

By: leory Santana Dawn
If it sounded too good to be true
I've never chose you
I just came here
Life just threw you

I've never looked so hard
I just let it go
Let the time escape
Watch you pass by

If it wasn't so good
I would let it go
I would let you drift
I would let this fall

If the time was wrong
Then I’ll watch you
Watch you walk away
No feelings no attachment

When the timing was right
Did it matter?
Did it matter that I loved you
Was in love with you?

When the timing was wrong
Did it matter?
Did it matter that I still wanted you?

If it sounded too good
I never looked for you
Life just drew you here
Life just went too far

if it wasn't for love
Then I'd let it go
Let you go from here
Watch the tides
Fall Apart

By: Ilah Relaire
Other side of me
She's cries under the pressure of finding love
She turns her back on what lies above her wanting nothing more than to be wanted and accepted
She walks in the path that screams save me from myself with threads of emotions attached to her
Her body aging from what was once new to what is now older with an imagination so vivid that it causes her salted wounds to raise above what nobody else sees
Somewhere in her heaven there's peace like no other
A journey to find the smallest faith in the world that takes away her reason to breathe; her reason for finding out who she is
She counts her days in seconds and her breath in hours like a discombobulated  calender
What she hoped for was simply the lost part of her; Her heart to be completed not by those who she consider family or friends but by the one that will save her from despair
Only a woman now that was once upon a time a little girl
She cries with her body more than she displays tears
A piece of hope in the world of the
unthinkable
She walks that path

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Loving you with all the doubts that I wouldn't be able to see your empowering love and yet I'm left in this silence to soak. I've only dreamed of the remaining days to escape this casket world in hope that I'll make forth your happiness and desires. I'm now under the passing grey clouds. Taking my breath away for Gods sake you've done well; my heart is puncture by all the tiny things that are actually big now. I've only seen the the brightness in you that caused me to only hold memories of every shared experience in your light while I stayed awake in dark. My mind is poisoned by your willingness to despair, to escape, to challenge love, and to not form our our reality together. I'm too insane to actually consider that I wasn't sane in your bubbled world; where time appeared in your favor to break me in the half's that couldn't be seen by the naked eyes. You've pulled me away from death to make me live once more; the scenes that were repeated in my world kept me uplifted to a better thought that I'll approach my wish to be loved once in my life. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was captured by your faded personality; smiles that that cried sadness and pain, touches from you that felt like somebody needed to be touched with love, eye's that showed a soul escaping from it's flesh, and ears that needed to hear these words; " I love you ". Your blessing birth and existence I couldn't have been more happy to have met in the ages of darkness in my life. These approaching mornings I'll wake-up not aside you but in the emptiness of space where I'll picture your frame as if it was traced with burning charcoal. The timing on life is too hard to keep up with knowing that I'll be left in the middle of a blackhole only wanting to go back in time to relive those moments with you, those moments I've left my world to enter yours to be apart of you. My steps have became silent. I'm walking in the fog in prayer that I'll find my way back to you, I'm stumbling with glass shardes in my feet. My blood becoming thin as my heart give out to pump recycled blood with imprinted words; " I don't want to give up on you". Don't see me out the door. If all was done over again I'll only want you to open the door to allow me to step foot in your heart resumbling how things were before the bulb lost it's light. Age will beat me without hesitation and love will have it's calendar being missed. My soul will grow weak towards it's inevitable path. The winter breeze upon my heart will **** me off before my due date, a day and a date that I'll tell you; "I miss you, I miss your light in my life". I'm bottled by the shouting emptiness I'm bottled by the feeling of love I'm bottled by you.

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Maybe I'm use to you
Desiring all your love
Touching me with your weight
Brushing your hands against me
Your hair falling free upon my chest
Your fragrance heightening my senses
Your breath touching upon my skin

Maybe I'm just as faulty as your love
A single touch can tell lies
A single kiss can mean so much
And you're like weeds ready to root
I'm use to you... Maybe

Maybe your thorns have spread
Maybe I like the pluck
Each thorn goes a little deeper
Each bruise over-layered

Maybe you're not as bad
I'm use to you

By: Ilah Relaire
My other side
May I stare at you until dawn breaks?
I'm not talking about my name
I'm already broken
May I cherish you like God cherishes his creation?
I can't promise you that I'll love you like God but I'll come close enough
May I be the brightest star in sky that you've been looking at since you were a little girl and now you're grown?
I'll shine brighter than anything you've ever seen but I can't say that I'll be here forever as much as I would love to
May I perform Clark Gables famous kiss with you?
I can kiss in a style that you'll never forget
You'll forever feel my lips; wherever you go
May I walk with you  down the alley?
No I'm not talking about any alley but the alley where you'll walk with me as my wife

I know I may not live long  this year for many unknown reasons, but please rest assure knowing that I’ve loved you and I apologize for not telling you any sooner.



I’m choking on my last breath I take and I can’t seem to find any other means to care. I’m stuck in my struggles of not caring... who knows me better than I?
I can’t crawl or climb above the surface of all my doubts and beliefs.





Last night she was a glimpse of empty pleasure, a cup filled with potential wishes. Her eyes reflected her love and desire for me and I couldn’t have possibly understood the type of love she felt for me. I took the chances of being her shoes for once and at that instance I was able to comprehend what I was doing to her to cause her to feel such compassion. She kissed me gently and with every touch and breath there was another story to be understood
None of it fits together so don’t assume that any of this is suppose to make any sense
The garden stays green with with my vains. My heart turned into a ruby; blood stone of love. I've seen the beauty within you while i was sleeping next to shaded moon and my tears swept the night by fast with your luck, love, and sympathy. I've sprung from the roots of creation just to be with you and yet you didn't know my attentions. Fantasy became you while soft tunes played in my head over and over again. When my lips pressed against yours time became limited and ceased within your control for that I knew my heaven was here and didn't wanna wake up so I decided to stay still with waters as they remained heavenly blue with your smile aside.

Am I blessed to remember the pain that was inflicted in the past more so than the pain that awaits me?
If life is a living curse then why am I so fond of the one thing that makes me believe in the impossible
A lover for an exchange of heart
Behind a bitter kiss something sweet is formed
Behind every breaking point something becomes whole
A foundation built upon destruction to resurrect what’s to become of the future
Beauty is not what is seen
Beauty is more so the aftermath of what was destroyed
From corpses weeds are formed as the worms eat of what was left
From weeds they create many more alike

Will never count all of the ways that I love thee for that words could never put forth as much effort as action.

I assure you
I have no place here... anywhere (sigh)
I assure you I'm only in your mind as well as everybody

I'm only a forced imagnation
I bring to you the days you shall smile and the days you shall cry

You speak to trees not and everything else
Not me

By: Leory Santana Dawn
Your hands left my body
the pressure remained
Your kisses grow warmer
by time not counted
I can't keep up with you
I'll be right behind  

You cry in awe
Your wings were ripped
by past lovers
still you remain angelic
with open wounds

You think too much
You wanna fly with doves
I see you reaching for the sky
I'll make you wings
Don't go too far

You whisper in my ear
take me away
Where to?
The nearest cliff

I can still feel your breath
So angelic

I carry you through the miles
Our eyes meet
I beg for sadnes to leave  
don't  to cry anymore
You kiss away my lips

I can still feel the first kiss
