Anybody knows my struggle
its shown on my bare flesh
Scars and Bruises
from a Rough life but yeah I stood the test of time
yeah I stood the test of time
I Close my aching eyes and
Hold my shaking Hands together tight
for I know this too Shall Pass This too Shall Pass
and God only gives you as much as you can handle
But he gives his Soldiers a little bit more then they deserve at times
but he knows he has a fighter in me on the land
my Heart is soft
but my hands are rough
for I've worked hard all these
hours
days
and years
to be right here right now
HAPPY
but to also remember the sad days
When I had nothing going for me
cept this
paper
and pen

And Yeah I tried my best
But sometimes waiting is better then forgetting
for when the time is right
the Sunlight will burst threw
and it'll bring you to your knees
and my prayers will be answered
when you walk threw that door
and I'll say
I waited for this women all my life
Now shes all mine for tonight
even if it's just for tonight
dont take for granted her love jay says my heart
even if time made you wait
just for tonight
just for tonight

It took every ounce of self control
not
to kiss you...

not to take you in my arms

inhaling deep
the very scent of floral meadows
from your hair

not to hold your hands
with fingers trembling

nor to speak the words openly...

that I have
so often penned
in secret pained poetic silence

but for one moment of weakness
I could have made known
my heart...

my feelings

but no

nor would I
risk all we are ... all we have

for one moment
of
madness.
Just a tired rambling mind trying to make sense of love maybe I need sleep lol

Somewhere
out there

there's a bullet

engraved with
your
hearts


goodbye
Someone shoot me first

5TH Grade
The last day
A reporter asked
What have you to say
Of this final day
And I stated:
"We are the kings and queens
And next year we will be nothing"
And that was the last time
I learned something
Constructive
In the structuring
Of a school building

Sang alot of songs by now

All alone
All alone

Who would know
Who could know

Right now
Right now

Seems like forever ago

Songs of loss
Songs of giving in

A song for the lost
Its cheeky again

Looping through
From me to you

It plays all over again

Sang alot of songs by now

She sipped her coffee
as I
slowly
drank in her eyes...

inhaling deeply

upon her lips
in gently shared laughter...

with a touch she stirred us both

how I longed to be that cup
pressed softly
to her open mouth

to play light against her tongue
in fluid exchange...

of porcelain kisses

burn the light of fire
and wax the ears of injustice.

chide the moon
and bid ado to the reckless sun.

count the blessings of misfortunes
and wave verbs in the air--
breathing the hopeful breaths of married sandals

Label the pains of a billion rain drops and fawn the feathers
of a nightingale over the glory of failed
triumphs known as yesterday.

break the hands of a wristwatch and make a ******* of time--
for through the God in Satan was how Earth was won.
