Sadly for Saturday
and sadder for me,
no longer young
no more running free,

responsibility
takes a toll
which I am willing to pay.
christmas is for everyone a time to live in peace
time to come together let the troubles cease
time to be forgiving time for being kind
forget about the past leave it all behind.

a special time of year merry and so bright
time for peace on earth to make the world unite.
time to give some love a time for us to share
for us live in peace and show the world we care
Flounder not, little bird
know you that you have wings?
Fly!
Lift those mighty, crooked things
let tension subside
into the joyride of climbing
undulated skies
Let go of things that bind you
and allow yourself to rise, arise!
Albeit in your mind it is as real
as what surrounds you
you are bound to nothing
but that upon which you linger.
What happens to a broken promise?

Does it sting
like a bee?
or creates a wound
and leaves a scar?
Does it die in the heart
or grow as a seed

Maybe it just lives
like a ghost

Or it creates strangers?
This is my remake of  Langston Hughes' a dream deferred. I've been in love with the poem for sometime now. I dedicate this piece to those in search of true and meaningful friendships
Sunday?
bear with me.

I must take some time to pray
a minute or two ought to do.

Done
and my faith restored,
the tablets Moses gave to me
turned out to be
paracetamol

everyone's a shill for someone thinking
that they will one day get down on knees to pray
bear with me,

if it works,
it's fine
if not
then all you've wasted
is some time

When I think about you
I think about the Journey of a woman
Who's been grinding since she was 15 years old
In a world that doesn't care about us
I see a woman
Who did whatever she needed
To make sure her children were good
Still to this day
She has a grind like no other
I appreciate the battle scars on your heart
From being done wrong
I'm amazed at the smile that hides
Some of the pain inside
i like to watch the eagles on the mountain top
as the sun begins to set behind the mountain drop
casting sillouttes in the reddened sky
such a lovely setting to watch the eagles fly.

flying wild and free in the sky above
just to watch the eagles is something that i love.
flying all around when the day is done
beneath a reddend sky in the setting sun.
