The weather man said
to pull seed from ***** soil
God made the sky rain
Despite living in the coldest areas on the planet, their love for one other remained warm. Their love had triumphed over nature!

It was hot today.
I sweat putrid droplets of misery.
Everyone around me could smell it -
   apathy, fear, and disgust;
   otherness.
I wish that I didn’t have to speak at all.

It rained,
   but I wasn’t washed clean.
I went to the bathroom.
I couldn’t stay there,
   so I tried blotting them off with a paper
   towel.
They stubbornly clung to my surface like oil.

I joined the others.
We went back to the crowd.
I waited for the music to wash over me, but I felt nothing.

what a fine love
a destiny of stories
to listen as she speaks
she does anything for me
what more could a man ask
a strong independent woman
& it be no matter the task
so for you I'm practicing a
true understanding
to be the best companion
your king with comprehension
cause lord knows your struggle
as a queen, the constant battles
that come with pursuin all your dreams
to me, you should get all the
diamond rings, adventures with
serene, ocean views like vivid scenes
from a movie... you know
of your favorite matineé, thats smoothe
like your skin in your favorite
Lingerie. Pretty brown eyes
that shine just like a ray
that beams from the blinds
on a warm & sunny day
She's Beautiful...

The words I craft, I live
They are my truth
A delirium-stricken breeze blew through the forlorn trees.
The sound of bristling leaves resonated over the landscape.
Nature was seduced into a  state of trance.

He was easy as a breeze on the outside
He had a raging storm inside
Busy searching for the stop signs
And the turns kept passing him by
