How can a speaker write without someone to listen?
When the audience is the thinker’s heart it shall not matter.
Not by the power of the words one uses.
But by the power of the meaningfulness.
Relevance to self is all that matters.
Because relevance to self is what created the idea in the first place.
Forbidden fruit of Barbados
Oh how she glows.

Sectional sweetness
Bitter in aftertaste

My favorite things in life
Always seem to be similar

Maybe because
I prefer the familiar

The curve and the shape
Contour and ripe

As I slice thee in half
I notice your walls

Serrated spoon in hand
Showing gratitude toward the land

For it bears blessed fruits
The fruit blesses me

Upon receiving sour
Bite after bite

The bitterness sets in
Night after night

Grapefruit makes me happy
Grapefruit makes me smile

I hope that I don’t get sick
At least not for a while
I love grapefruit, I just hope it doesn't make me sick!!
Your silence always scares me
The sound of you alone
I wish that you were free
The same I wish for me

Our situation unmatched
Constant and misunderstood
It’s hard to stay relaxed
Tense and no desire for even food

Motivation almost gone
Without you I’m alone
I orbit, you the sun

The things I wish are not that much
Simply the sound of your voice

Is it just too much to ask
To have just what I want

For my needs are not selfish
Conceited, or malevolent

You are all I sought
Forget every single thing that you were told
Power through inception; for only you – behold

Your pathways through time
You’re sure to grow old

The magic, the fortune of love
The gift, the spirit of your soul
The power, through inception
Never to be replaced or forgotten

Through the Rayne & through Shine
You should know that you’re mine
If you think otherwise
Know that it’s LIES

Forget every single thing that you were told
Power through inception; only for you – behold

The magic, the gift, the feeling of up-
Lifting the weight of the world in just your hands
You don’t know the pain
But I still can tell that you understand
I wrote this for my younger sister Emma Rayne Melton when she had to receive corrective eye surgery due to a hereditary trait in my family.
You were born to be famous
This is something that I’m sure of
I can see you being a famous model.
I can see you being a popular artist.
I see you being a powerful poet.
I see you being an inspiring writer.
I see you doing many things, many things with me.
I see you in my future and always in my dreams.
You were born to be famous
I hope you know this too.
No matter what you do
You will always succeed.
Faith, patience, perfection
Truly one of a kind
Words cannot define
Emotions in my mind
But the thought
Of seeing you again
Makes me smile
Falling forward
The depths of longing
Live my life
Live yours too
In the end
I know we’ll be there soon

— The End —
