Secrets are oozing from the
bowels of the earth, she quakes
and shakes her ***** for your
viewing.

Watch her take a bite from your
life, she’s older than your
great great great grandparents.

Her womb grew for us, opening
wide devouring those who die.

She’s got six feet
long legs, a chest bigger
than mount Everest, and
hair as long as the
Nile River.

Her depths are the deepest,
her valleys dip deeper too,
her girth is wide and she
has sapphire eyes and
diamonds grow from her thighs.

She’s screaming for help,
but no one hears her cries,
for you’re all blind and deaf,
it’s a merciful whisper burning
steady and fast through out the night.

She slowly takes her last breath,
releasing a deadly ghost from
her past.

Oh Corona, oh Corona
shall we sing you a song
a proper fair well?

Oh Corona, oh Corona you’ve
over stayed your welcome,
no one invited your virus
or your dime lit eyes.

Such secrets came free
as the sunsets upon your
ocean eyes, the beams
carry a dream of peace
and love. It’s up to us
if we do her right.

Upon the release of ink
my thoughts flow like
a flood. It’s free from
its cage available to
devour to all who read
its river.

Memories become smears
of autumn and snow,
I never forget a thing
for it stains the banks
with its existences as
it freezes in my mind.

I have no forgotten
memories, they are
forever frozen within
my brains process.

Upon the shore you came
crashing to wash away
the love you promised.

I die a little each time
inside, as I watched you
leave. The clouds gathered
above your head, as I watched
you depart into the dark
I was left alone with dreed
and a broken heart.

You left scars and memories
of passionate kisses, and
unfulfilled dreams and wishes
you promised me.

You effected my life
like a painful wound
that got infected, you
brought me salts to rub
the wounds raw and
cause swelling.

You say I love you,
before you steal from me,
you say I love you,
before you accuse me,
you say I love you,
before you neglect me
and leave me crying.

I’m the girl you left
at the table,
I’m the girl who is faithful
but you are under the table.

You manipulate with a smile,
you lie and cheat, and blame
me of doing the same thing.

I’ve never been told
I am mean and cold,
until I met you.

You brought your friend
addiction without asking
me if I had an open invitation
so now there’s three at
the table.

You said you want to have
a romantic evening but yet
you leave me to cook and
clean, you never stay to
eat with me.

I’ve told you how I feel
but you don’t appreciate
my expression.

You say I am mean
yet I haven’t done
anything but express
my struggle.

You said I love you,
before you broke my heart
leaving me to pickup
the pieces.

The main course is my heart,
a perfect meal for a monster
like you.

You are like the sun shining
through the clouds,
you blew me a kiss with
your beaming smile.

With your tender touches
I am kindled burning bright,
with desire and life.

You inspire my flame to
rise and shine, you rain but
I catch it in my heart
felling the emptiness with
your unforgettable name.

You are a scar upon my life,
you infected me with your
blue eyes and ocean view.

You inspire me to do better
for God and family.

Life's too short to let it
fly by without a sign of
recognition or recommendation.

On the darkest days
you come with the light,
beaming bright when there’s
no shine on the outside.

You are my sunrise.

Beyond the dreams of the world
lives a flame that flickers
with hope.

Upon the path we cling
onto the dreams our parents
wished for us.

The rope is always ready,
you just have to grab it
tightly and allow it to pull
you up to higher ground.

These walls we’ve built
are not eternal but the
love will be left behind
in the ruble.

The devil comes only
in weakness for he’s
a coward and a lazy
monster. He knows how
to break your meditation,
boil your thoughts until
they are ashes, damage
your faith and worship.

But it’s up to you if
the devil breaks your
heart and soul, for
with the LORD comes
strength, and mercy,
eternal life, and guidance
from his council.

I am floating upon the
restless dreams I’ve collected.

The clouds have lifted
revealing the stars,
it rained so long I
forgot about them.

I once swam in the ocean,
I learned that I am not alone,
every grain of sand was collected
pushed upon the shore building beaches and mountains.

I am like a grain of sand,
life pushes me ashore I
build beaches and mountains.

We all are grains of sand,
waiting for the waves to
push us in the right direction.
