It takes
an open
mind.

The heart
of a
warrior.

The struggle
of its
people.

To fight
fire
with fire.

These tears
I cry
are like old
paint peeling
off a wall.

Tears,
tears,
tears.

You may probably
ask where
is your
purity of
strength-hood?

And I will
reply in this
poem. I have
not any
to speak of.

I know deep
in my
heart
that I'm
not walking
these
lonely
roads alone.
Like the
wind. I
hear the
sounds
of a
thousand
drums,
majestic
feet of my
ancestors
dancing of
freedom Or
perhaps
of sorrow.

Sadly the Kingdom has awoken
to a doomed dark Sunday-
Like the spirit in the wind,
the king arose with wings of
a majestic dove. Prayers
are endless, dark clouds
casting a sea of nothing.
But by the sheer luck the doomed
kingdom will not despair,
with demise, shall be named,
unmarking deter flowing
deep in the depth of the
sea, muddle by betrayal-
the people, the kingdom,
the palish face of his queen.
Dumbfounded by sheer shock.
To remember he, not to
quick and settle on
appearance, not pleasingly
to the queen's eye, granting
respect for respect
shall be received. Wisely
they have kindly, with
the queens gestures, it was
array that he who follows
in the kings footsteps,
shall wear the crown of glory.
From its people. Mystified,
in the silent house, gazing
at the reflection of a
mirror, at a palish face.
Alone by the sudden overtake,
panic dwells within, the
people shall receive their
new King. The desert shall
rain in the spirit of his
presence. Now he's all but
a legend.

As I walk that milestone,
two thousand miles I roam,
looking for a trace of my
mothers lipstick, trying
to find my way back home.

But before I embark on
such a journey, my
thirstily days are in
longing to obey the
yearn for water, as
I pray from within
deep inside my heart
casted of gold.

For I shall walk that
milestone, look for a
trace of lipstick,
roam two thousand
miles, but before I
go, my I find peace
within myself and
find my way back
home.

Built
A brave muscular
man created
from stone.

Man
I stand tall,
strong, yet wise.

Breathe
To breathe the
air that flows
within me.

Love
To love myself
as I shall
love others.

Kiss
To receive a
kiss from Venus.

Life
Enjoy the moment
and take it
day by day.

Hate
To hate another
is to hate
one's self.

Me
To stand tall,
brave and
be humble of
my self-worth.

For I see what
I see there
within
the still waters.

But to see not
what I can't
see there within
the mist.
