The Boss came to town one day
Took over the "Swinging" Sugar Shack.
When others came to take a sip
He warned them, "OUT and don't come back."

He buzzed them off so far away
As another came to  sip and rest
Back he came his tail fanned out
Thinking, yes, he was the best.

With space around the Treasury
for more than eight to sip and eat.
But only one can land and sip
when "The Boss" plants his angry feet.

He sits and guards his precious turf
For many minutes at a time.
Driving away the other birds
Who has found the Sugar sublime.

The reason the hummers can only hum
is because they don't know the words.
Or they would scream little bird words
at the other little humming birds.

The hummer most persistent it seems
goes by the name of Hummer Hectar.
You too would be mad and miffed
if someone stole your Sugar and Nectar.
Thought about adding bells to the feeder
then the hummer could be a
    Hummer-Ding
First name would not be Engelbert

(This may need some work... hummmm)

I think that I shall never see
A leaf as lovely without a tree
When it falls upon the ground
So gently placed to be found.
A child gathers it in her hands
Carefully places it on the sands
Hoping to grow a brand new tree
For all the world new life to see.
The last four lines had many interruptions (5 year old). Changed direction at least three times. Could not remember where it was going. The child was driving this one.
The storms are pounding
Destruction is rampant
No end seems in sight.
The day is endless
The night never ending
Will it ever, ever be right?

Lightning crashes
Winds are swirling
Torrents of water fall down.
The earth is shaking
The shelter is breaking
Thunderous sound resound.


Above the storm
the Calm prevails
Overlooking the turmoil below.
Awaiting the return
of order again
That Peace and Calm bestow.


Then it is over...

No more pounding
Silence, beautiful silence
Comes whispering in the ears.
The Earth becomes firm
The Sun is still shining
It dries up all the tears.

Through the debris
New hopes arise
Covering the scars below.
Growing stronger, stronger
As strength rebounds
Renewed by the seeds we sow.

Repairing the damage
Replacing the lost
Moving forward with or without.
Finding Hope in the future
as Faith reaches upward
Redeeming Love without a doubt.

--------------------------------
When the storms of life
Cause turmoil and strife,
The Son dries all my tears.
When all seemed lost
I counted the cost
Turned over all my fears.

I am surviving.
I am stronger still.

Sucess is our revenge...same *******
Who are hating today are the same
******* who will try to be our friends

I'm nuthing but
Everthing you *******
Making plans to be

A girl
Should be two things
Classy and fabulous

Every man needs a women when his life is a mess,
Because just like in a game of chess,  the queen
Protects the king

don't every change for anyone

Lifes tough
Handle it with prayer
what's a ***** to a queen?
She said: My Love .. You will forget me
وتنسى أنني يوما
And you will forget that I, one day,
وهبتك نبض وجداني
Have granted you my heart  
وتعشق موجة أخرى
And you will adore another wave
وتهجر دفء شطآني
And you will leave my beaches warmth
وتجلس مثلما كنا
And you will sit, as we used to
لتسمع بعض ألحاني
To listen to some of my tones
ولا تعنيك أحزاني
And you will not care for my sorrows
ويسقط كالمنى اسمي
And my name will fall as hope
وسوف يتوه عنواني
And my address will get lost
ترى.. ستقول يا عمري
So, my Love, will you say
بأنك كنت تهواني؟!
That you (once) loved me!?
* * *
فقلت: هواك إيماني
So, I said: Your love is my faith
ومغفرتي.. وعصياني
My forgiveness and my disobedience  
أتيتك والمنى عندي
I met you with hope
بقايا بين أحضاني
Remaining in my arms  
ربيع مات طائره
Like spring without a bird.
على أنقاض بستان
On the ruins of a garden,
رياح الحزن تعصرني
The winds of sadness squeeze me
وتسخر بين وجداني
And laugh in my chest.
أحبك واحة هدأت
I Love You .. like an oasis  
عليها كل أحزاني
On which all my sorrows have calmed down
أحبك نسمة تروي
I Love You, like an aura that tells
لصمت الناس.. ألحاني
My songs to people’s silence
أحبك نشوة تسري
I Love You ..  like ecstasy that runs
وتشعل نار بركاني
And fires my volcano.  
أحبك أنت يا أملا
I Love You .. you, Hope
كضوء الصبح يلقاني
That like morning light meets me.
أمات الحب عشاقا
Love has killed many lovers,  
وحبك أنت أحياني
And your love has given life to me.
ولو خيرت في وطن
And if I were to choose a home,
لقلت هواك أوطاني
I would say; my home is your Love.
ولو أنساك يا عمري
And if I were to forget you,
حنايا القلب.. تنساني
My heart would forget me.
إذا ما ضعت في درب
If I lost my way,
ففي عينيك.. عنواني
I would live .. in your eyes.

Poetry is when emotion
has found its thoughts
And the thoughts
has found words
The best poems always comes from within the heart

Life
Do you remember
when you said
that with me,
you felt?
Tis but a dream I scream I scream
My body weak and weary

I lay in bed with throbbing head
And thoughts dark and dreary

I sing the song, What's wrong? What's wrong?
Am I left forgotten?

This be said, face turn red
Stomach spoiled and rotten

Demons spawn, be gone, be gone
As they take my breath

Be pearly gate or hell as fate
I've come to my death
I wrote this 13 years ago when I was 12 years old, during a thunderstorm.
Something about that art
That flows from the end
Of your pen
Words that flow
Like electric ink
Through a water fountain
Of pain and misery
It's like ecstasy
That you can breathe
It's an air of mystery
You conceal
Within your walls of doom
That you've built
Around your heart
Covered it with scars
Battle wounds that reflect
The quarrel of lost loves
And admitted defeat
Your words truly speak
On paper with a voice
That's hard to define
It's up to you to decide
How you continue your life
Will just keep writing?
Or will you actually start fighting?
