these poems express the words i fail to speak
loneliness i fail to admit
moments i fail to remember
sadness i fail to move on from
heartbreak i fail to accept
loss i fail to mourn
Evry woman is the 🌙

Evry 👨 is the Sun

Who is the Eternal One


Arent 🇺🇸 All


And if We are Eternal

Why is it that we Fall



So Listen Closely
And,
Hear Me Still

We Are One
No need to Fear
Let Us Become One

Thru the many seasons

Thru the many years

             I 💘 U
…when there’s no one left to protest
…when there’s no one left to blame
…when there’s no one left to target
…when there’s no one left to name

…when there’s no one left to barter
…when there’s no one left to pay
…when there’s no one left to reason
…when there’s no one left to pray

…when there’s no one left to matter
…when there’s no one left to care
…when there’s no one left believing
…when there’s no one left to share

…when no one’s left to pass it on
…when no one’s left unbled
…when no one’s left to sing the songs
—forgotten are the dead

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)
Once upon
I felt the call
To take a midnight walk
And stumbling through
The misty streets
A voice began to talk

Fear not said ye
The angels call
I must have reached the Lord
But falling through
The gravel road
The stone and I’m the sword

The king of far
And futures will
Be beckoned by the light
With fist and tongue
He rules below
The tempting of his might

And yet we see
His gentler heart
Indulging in the arts
The king at last
Usurped from throne
The Jester’s reign then starts

The midnight walk
Turns into morn
And visions fade away
But jesters in
the place of kings
Will never go away
I really like this one high key, just a nice little story with a couple interpretations

To God
only known
we are

unknown
to everyone else

you are seeing
what  no one else
can view

thus

you now know
what he can only
know

sublime

In one moment, In the blink of an eye your whole world could end.
Its the truth dont take things for granted
I'm not perfect today,
I'm not better now,
I'm not on the criteria yet,
But i am practicing now.

I have not too much to write,
I don't have much knowledge,
But whatever i know,
I am satisfied now,
Because i am just practicing.

I have to know more,
I have to learn from you,
Yeah  i have to gain a lot,
Because i am just practicing.

Like a bird learn to fly,
I also have to learn.
I also have to rise,
Like a shining star in sky.
One day it might come true,
As i am practicing now.
