Once again I play the fool
But that is OK it is what I do
Build a fantasy world in my mind
My heart exposed the whole time
Silly me filling up with pain
At least I get stronger from what I gain
Playing Mr. Know It All
Rising up fast just to fall
I find myself to be my greatest foe
It is so unfair yes I know
My inner battle between evil and good
I know who I am and what I should
Be grateful for the treasures that I find
Store the good memories in my mind
I am a living machine fueled by hope
Choking on all my mental smoke
Maybe in some other place or time
Our souls in passing will become entwine
Doesn't matter nor do I care
For if you need me I will be there..

How can love be so true?
Its in my every atom and everything I do
Love to me never had a real meaning
My hearts on fire, my body is steaming
Emotion given birth from deep within
I feel as if I'm committing my greatest sin
Life is fast we have to find our moments in time
We must explore the treasures that we find
Eloquence, beauty a soul so unique
An illusion of thought mental hide and seek
We burst in flames from our passion and desire
Fantasies fulfilled satisfying inner fire
For in this big world there is only one me and you
Whatever it takes for a love so true...
8-2-13 M.A.N I wrote 2 versions of this poem the other is more of me asking questions this one is more realizing I struggle on doing a edit until I post then I find multiple flaws which I try to correct on the spot I've already done about 5 edits since post I think that should be it for now..
Dreary days of black and white
Monotony for many is way of life
Moving but stuck caught in a slow pace
Frustration sets in affecting our outer space
Finding in life what fills our holes
Stirring our emotions expressing our souls
In return what do most of us get?
A heart full of pain a mind full of regret
Moments are special we must soak them in
Good or bad every day we can begin again
Finding ones path through loneliness and despair
Emotions felt deep as if anyone cared
Through the darkness finding what little light
Life is a struggle in which we fight
To persevere and become one great human being
A battle of Evil and Good in the mind not seen
We are all fragments trying to reconnect
A big puzzle creating our future, our destiny set
Fitting together our connections grow tight
Bonds so solid telling us it is right
Growing is life and life is full of pain
Living each day calculating the gain
Through all my living and actions I have sifted
Creating who I am.... A spirit who is Lifted.....

My heart is like a Phoenix It dies everyday
Reborn to give love in its own special way
Ignition from within my vessel catches aflame
Incinerating all my worries and emotional stains
Memories smoke swirling in the summer breeze
A corpse crumbling down on hands and knees
Ashes and bone litter the ground
In a moment of silence no soul can be found
Emerging from the ashes a flaming soul
A fire illuminating eternities black hole
Through loss and despair what is gained?
People don't grow without feeling life's pain
Love is a gamble from the very start
A risk I'm willing to take with my Phoenix Heart...

There are some things I just know
When I meet people there is a feeling I get
A storm stirs inside me
My mind flashes sending me within
I see birth
I see death
All in one breath
Arms wrap around me
Flooding me with empathy
Why me? I ask
I know, I  know sounds crazy
An ******* soul shimmering
Being torn, tickled and reborn
My spirit fills with love I become one with the universe
Dancing with stars existing in all dimensions
Evolving questions to answers
Spiritual being immersed in the river of life's flow!
Enlightened emerging dripping with knowledge
As long as blood fills my heart
Imagination elevates my being
Overflowing my earthly shell spilling these words
Mind's eye theater better than any TV show
If life is a question
Living provides the answers
Coming from within not from an ancient scroll
Reaping from failures seeds we sow
To live is to love even if we fail
Our destiny to live our own life's tale..
8-30-13 M.A.N I did major edit 8-31-13 2am.
Raised in California grew up in the hood
It’s where I first discovered my morning wood
***** I did detect became my *** ***
Creating what looked like a perfect tee ***
Didn't understand I was very young
I would play Cowboys and Indians with it just for fun
Till one day I saw my first pair of ****
Looked at my pants I was hard and stiff
Pop’s ******* magazines laid around for fun?
I’m a ****** Scorpio I figured out how to ***
The girls noticed me knew I was wild
Would grabby feel me up I was no longer a child
My **** is like a clock keeping time like it should
My sunrise with a surprise My Morning Wood!

A promise of true love is enough for some
Visions of the future and the Days To Come
Fragmented is our spirit when we are apart
Our love be thee blood filling our hearts
Hope held tight for a love so true
Its what we become its just what we do
When separated our love is near
Intimate memories becoming dear
Going through the motions doing our math
Searching for the strength to find our path
Time will pass our destiny won't change
Love locked down can't be rearranged
Under the Moon into the night we stare
Pick your favorite star and meet me there
Emotions ******* swirling as we embrace
Achieving the satisfaction we longed to taste
Time stands still our minds become one
Bodies interlocked under the Morning Sun
Sewn seeds of faith bears its fruits in the end
Reunited for an adventure let our journey begin

I long to be strong and not do wrong
Poetic is my soul forever will I long
How did this happen?
How did I become this fool?
Who walked many paths never finding you
There is only one path I long to find
Paved with flowers for that true love of mine
Walls I'll climb put my life on the line
Its written in the stars yours and mine
For my heart longs to give in order to live
Filling all my cracks so not to leak like a sieve
I will continue on and will grow strong
Giving me the strength to love all life long
For now I suffer like so many before
I understand the pain I lived in its core
Time will pass I may not last
My strain is mental it moves through me fast
Still I remain through all I gain
Capable to love and to maintain
My emotions like the sea will never be calm
Build a boat to let me float for true love I long...

If I hold it in where does it go?
Does it forever become a part of my soul?
Expanding me and who I am
Without it would I understand?
It makes me whole, am I half?
Makes me sad, still I laugh
Maybe I should just let it go
Hang a vacancy sign on my soul
All I can do is be above
In my heart feel the love
Faith in me and what I do
Even when I play the fool
I am wrong but I still grow strong
From my darkness I will dawn
Everyday I receive this gift
Recharge my soul so I can lift
My head up high and wonder why
I don't float up into the sky
Will I fly if I release my sins?
Till that day I hold it in...
10-9-2013 M.A.N
We are special
We are one
We will rise like the sun
On our journey to slay the beast
We will prevail and find our peace
Casualties suffered along the way
Our sacrifices will always stay
Imbedded in our hearts and minds
No limit to how high we can climb
Our world is large we are small
Negativity and hate in us all
I’m not holy but I have faith
Victory we all will taste
What is this M.A.N trying to say?
TOGETHER we will find our way
M.A.N 10-30-13
