Let your name be curved on to my lips
Let the blood lust crave for the emotional breakdown
Let your voice be heard in the intensity of the alphabet
Let the days start mendicant with memories of you and I
Let the dizzle  escalate this sweet moment
Let the bemused tension be felt in the stomach
Let the round of this game be zoomed in the streets of Florida
Let the bang at the door be darkened by your steps
Let the hair stand on edge close to mine
Let the invite to your domicile be sent by the birds
Let the wander of this heart rest in your embrace
Let flames of fire put a scar on to our souls
Let beauty intertwine to crash this empty thoughts
Time spent with the person that you love can change so much about you.

They heard my poetry...
And asked,"Did someone break your heart?"
And I...who did not even have a crush!
smiled and answered," Poets are born with pain in their heart
and millions of universe in their mind."

You might think I am silent.
But inside I've traveled
the whole world and back.

I've conversed with you
more than you know.
Finally what comes out
would be a 'Hi'.

My mind contradicts my heart
and my heart my mind.
I fail to get a word out
with all this commotion in.

My teacher told me a story once,
The story of two wolves
Within each of us
resides two wolves,
Always fighting.
One all things good
And the other all things bad
So I asked who wins
She replied
The one you care to feed.
I didn't understand it then.

My actions
cannot contain
the myriad
of dreams
I wish upon.

For she held my hand
and walked me through the horror
but as l looked closer
she was grotesque,
l shouted to the best
calling for help.
And there l was in another
dimension.

Along these edges
heading for the alter
and make the grade
despite the write off
future.

One day
I know not when
I yearn for the dawn to arrive
For the sun to bring forth the day
When I may finally bid this prison farewell
Step through the faded door and then
Finally live, rather than just survive
For the day when I can, at last, say
I have escaped this hell

Someday
Regrettably far, far away
There will no longer be the fear
Consuming of a poor dear
Rather release, relief
Free, despite all belief

There will come a day
When all will be at ease
Like a cool, summer breeze
After a day of blistering heat
No more burns upon these aching feet

Light of a thousand stars in your eyes ,intoxicating smile
That sweet perfume of roses you carry with you when you walk
A beautiful angel whose name is whistled by the birds all through the streets
It's been plenty of years since you left heaven for earth
From the first time your parents held you in their arms
The joy you brought peace to their souls
Rekindled a glow that was forgotten
The friends you made that have seen you grow
Through the brightest & darkest times
To you that was poised and impeccable
For every ugly scar on you was a beautiful spot
You embraced love and wasn't selfish to share it
The world celebrates you
Happy birthday
There's thousand and more candles for you to blow.
Happy 14th birthday

Why
Do l ask
Why
do l still hope for more?
Why
do we chase dreams?
Dreams that are fatal.
Why
do we blend with the lies?
lies that blind fold the future.
Why
do we hold back at a certain moment?
Why
is it hard to find success?

Speechless he walks with no doubt
Strong as a beast
he tears his enemies
Wise as King Solomon
he mentors

I want to know the truth
For you say that you
care for me
It seems that you don't,
for we are distant from each other
I know that l broke your trust but how can l make it up to you
I don't want to call it quits after everything that we been through,
and the secrets that we hold about our complicated relationship.
I can't take the pain and hurting away
At least we could could be friends who look out for each other.
For they say beautiful minds start a beautiful world.
