Float Away
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
Why does a heart feel so strong?
How do you right what isn't wrong?
So much emotion felt so deep
To the point where one can not sleep
I realize some things are against all the odds
So I look past the stars and to the gods
Though I'm not a religious man
A fool for love this fool does stand
Potential of my passion never fully felt
Longing to give what should be dealt
Time will pass a patient heart will wait
Given no choice but to demonstrate
For I have always been a loyal man
Like a dog by your side I will stand
Hoping your eyes look my way
Desiring your body more each passing day
How does one snap out of an emotional funk?
Wrap it up and discard it with the mental junk!
Let it all go and watch it float away
So I can make it through another day......

Papa So Proud
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
I have been a fool, made plenty of mistakes
Even had a few foundation breaks
Through it all I've filled the cracks
My heart has spackle from all the attacks
Unconditional love I now understand
It has made me become a better man
Though I have never felt my fathers love
I'm not the one to push and shove
I became strong cause he said I was weak
Now I'm standing here at my poets peak
Trying to make sense and understand
How did I become this poetic man?
A broken boy just like a toy
I must fix you, so I can deploy
All the wisdom and knowledge through life I gained
To stop the vicious cycle and break the chain
For now...I am a father too...
I can feel you now in the things I do
I stop the wrong and do what's right
To allow myself to sleep at night
You had no father! I understand....
You had no idea how to create a man
Its OK, from all your pain I still learned...
To be the best father from my pain I earned
As I sit back and watch my daughters climb
They are gracefully crossing many finish lines
Filling up my heart, A Papa So Proud
WHICH IS WHY I SPEAK THIS POEM OUT LOUD!
I rebuilt myself from all the damage done
Now I bloom like a flower in the morning sun
Becoming exactly what I was created to be
To break the cycle and give my family unity......

Mental Pollution
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
Mental pollution hides the solutions
We imprison each other and create institutions
Really?
You think that is the answer?
You are probably wondering why there is no cure for cancer
We are stuck...and the situation *****
Political systems will always become corrupt
How many times do we have to see it in history?
Failing over and over again there is no mystery
I'm sorry if I get you riled up
This is for the thirsty go and grab your cup
How will we do it?
Where do we start?
I'm an instigator I've done my part..
TOGETHER
Our bonds can't be severed
It is a journey which will long be endeavored
Can you feel it?
It has just begun,
The roads have opened up go ahead choose one
I take them all
Cause I know my destination
Which is why I push and poke at every Nation
For now...
That is my time..
I will be back..
I hope my message stays in your mind
No limit to as high as we can climb
Can you feel it?
Let it begin
Answers to our questions lie deep within....

At first sight
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
I walk through life not searching but finding
Some paths are narrow while others winding
Love is so evasive but than again it is not
Looking not finding what we cannot spot
Emotions overflowing making us a wreck
Gathering them up keeping them in check
Focusing our will, love and desire
Looking for the spark to ignite ones fire
An inferno of love is what we are craving
The ashes from our heart is what we are saving
The awakening sun brings a new light
As I continue to fall for you at first sight....

Mind Splurge
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
Wisdom
Power
How much you make an hour
Does it really matter if your soul gets devoured?
By an Angel
A Devil
Some people are next level
Evolving
Solving
While the Earth is revolving
Trumpets are sounding
Do you hear your calling?
Time stands still when I enter a thought
Momentum of my words are finally caught
Thought provoker
Mind's eye poker
A General at rhyme words are my soldiers
Your stumbling cause your tripping
Must be what your sipping
Should have walked away now you are slipping
Further into my poetic rhyme
As I write you into the scene of the crime
People think I'm crazy....
Words will never phase me
My flow is active while others are lazy
You have just witnessed my mind splurge
Just a poet at play in my playground of words....

Rated X
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
This poem is Rated X
Designed to test this website, not filled with ***
Your probably wondering what will come next
A look on a moderators face as he or she becomes perplexed
Something about me loves having fun
Which is probably why I'm on this poetry run..
Traditional...I don't have a clue
Never studied poetry or went to school
All I know words keep burning up my mind
So I arrange them and focus them through my rhyme
Giving a fellow human something to read
Not done for money but done for a need
What else can I give if I can't give joy
Would you rather me be a monster who lives to destroy?
Mischievous me wanted to write a poem using the word ***!
Which is why I call this poem "Rated X"
7-6-13 M.A.N I see just using the word *** qualifies a poem to be explicit. I will keep that in mind for future reference.

Mother(poem for my Mom)
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
I remember the moment I learned we die
I was a young , I screamed out, WHY!!
I looked to see if I was on Death's path
listened to see if I could hear Death's laugh
Frantic I found myself in my mothers arms
Embraced by all her motherly charms
Held me close, wiped my face
My mouth was salty from the tears I taste
Calmed me down with her tender love
Comfort felt like a hand in glove
She told me son you gotta live....
You are special You have so much to give.
Rocking my soul gently to sleep
Aware now of deaths slow creep
Fading I fall into dreamland
Where once again I took my mothers hand
Mommy I love you this poem is for you
Can never change what we went through
Time will pass my love won't change
Everything around it I will rearrange
To see you in pain cuts me like a knife
To ease your suffering I would give my life.

Message We Send
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
I can't stop my poetry flow
It's getting out of control
I love it..Need it!
My soul is completed
All negativity within has long been defeated
What has been created is a Poetry Beast
Hunting down words for this poetry feast
Feel my fire
Born from desire
I feel I can build or destroy any empire
All in the mind
Answers we thought we could not find
Keys to stop suffering cure ills of mankind
Through our intelligence
Let us signify our relevance
Our existence means something we must regain our elegance
I realize some people will never understand
Minds open up like fingers of a hand
I'll do it
Give it my best try
Even if it means I have to die
Build off legacies left behind
Martin Luther King Jr's plight should be in everyone's mind
He had dream the advancement of all
Through Peace and Intelligence
Not building new walls
Battles begin as old ones end
It all comes down to the message we send
Mental pollution hides the solutions
We imprison each other create institutions
Really?
You think that is the answer?
Hmm wonder why there is no cure for cancer
We are stuck..too many situations ****
Political systems always become corrupt
How many times do we have to see it in history?
Repeatedly failing there is no mystery
I apologize if you get riled up
This is for the thirsty go grab your cup
How will we do it?
Where do we start?
As an instigator I've done my part..
TOGETHER
Bonds can't be severed
We have begun a journey long to be endeavored
Can you feel it?
It has begun
Roads open up go ahead choose one
I take them all
I know my destination
Push and poke at every nation
For now...
That is my time..
I'll  be back..
Hope  message stays in your mind
No limit how  high we can climb
Let us do it
Let it begin
Answer to life's questions lie deep within.

Heaven's Light
Poetry by MAN Jul 2013
I will be your guide in the darkest storm
I will pick you up when you are battered and torn
Heal your soul with Heaven's light
Restoring your beauty to shine so bright
Our illuminating love guides our way
As we journey through each hour of the day
As night time comes you begin to fade
For it wasn't you but a memory saved
I breathe my last breath all turns to night...
Together forever we walk into Heaven's light...
Poem felt incomplete so expanded it a bit...7-3-13 M.AN

My Mind's Associations
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
My mind wanders often, I'm constantly asking myself questions, generating my mind's associations.
ALWAYS
move forward master your emotions, ride life's waves navigate through life's oceans.
BALANCE
most people don't seem to have it, they can't figure out how to counteract their bad habits.
CHANGE
constantly feel your soul grow, keep your heart fertile for it is the soil.
DESTINY
be weary of its path or else you will feel its pre determined wrath.
EVOLVE
my every breath is an evolution, search through the past to find the solutions.
FOCUS
cause reality smokes us, it takes away our hopes and continually chokes us.
GREATNESS
will never be achieved if we continue to run in circles and live for greed.
HAPPINESS
as a world lets feel it instead of creating conflict to **** it.
INTERACTION
our worlds collide creating a Big Bang of thought, sharing knowledge with each other should always be taught.
JOY
lets give it to the planet, our hearts are diamonds stuck in fossilized granite.
KARMA
never been a mystery, for our journeys begin in our history.
LIES
people live them everyday, leaders speak them with every other word they say.
MOMENTS
A snapshot through time that should be felt in spirit and mind.
NATURE
outside or within, an untamed rain forest or a force that is invisible like the wind.
OPPORTUNITY
comes knocking all the time but never to those who insist on closing their mind.
PATIENCE
we wait for our saviors like we wait for coffee, we rush to our deaths while the clock is tick tocking.
QUESTIONS
for me bring them on, for the answers only come to a mind that's strong.
REVOLUTION
A sibling to evolution, born from the desire to find the ultimate solution.
STABLE
not many people are able, sometimes you wanna put all your cards on the table.
TIME
A measurement of a period, tied to our existence which is myriad.
UNIVERSAL
sounds huge but isn't, puts us all together maybe we can win it.
VISION
we must gain sight to see ,the patterns of history are blatent in stalling humanity.
WEAKNESS
in everyones soul, it's when you move forward strength arrives and you pay the toll.
XENOPHOBIA
what's new is strange addition will always equal change.
YESTERDAY
has passed a new day begins, forgive yourself today for yesterday's sins.
ZOMBIES
*I see many of them everyday, walking through life with nothing good to say.
I initially left out O most likely cause I woke up at 4:30 am PST with the inspiration to finish and share this piece. :D 6-30-13 M.A.N Also after doing this piece I found these came quite natural to me and I enjoyed very much writing it, I plan on revisiting this format in the future and being more creative with overall message and theme.I think I have the final edit this piece really burnt up my mind writing it I kinda rushed it out and was too busy in RL to edit till today.7-4-13 M.A.N

Destiny's Wrath
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Why is it sometimes we force our love?
Is it in our nature to push and shove?
Forcing our will upon our obsessions and desires
Chances burning up like a funeral pyre
I know, I've been down that path
Its riddled with lovesick fools who never did their math
You need to stop it!!
It will never work
All your doing is multiplying the hurt
For "True Love" from the beginning is true
Nothing anybody or anything one can do
Destiny will always find its path
It's laid with broken hearts that felt its wrath....

Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry
You have given me new life
And another reason to be scolded by the one in my life
She doesn't approve of any thing that I do
to her I'm just a silly rhyming fool
She is the anti poet I don't say this in jest
She says poetry ***** and points her finger in my chest
I crack a big smile as I sit in eternal bliss
I ponder my next poem will it be a hit or miss?
Should I make one about flying away on wings of words
Or create a universe where I float away on ships of verbs
My mastery is endless as I spin a syllable through time upon my magic carpet made of rhyme
For finally, I have found my one true home my confidence everyday has grown
I'm grateful to this ancient art, I pledge to poetry to do my part
To reintroduce what wasn't lost for that I will pay any cost
Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry you have given me life
I was just kidding
With poetry I can express my love in many ways to the one in my life
As long as she doesn't knock my
Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry. =D

Running in a Circle
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Ooo....
Here we go again
Just you and I
Running in a circle I just keep wondering why
We play these games
With no shame
I was the one who took the first look
You never saw my face
I was so out of place
your lips I wanted to taste.
I finally caught your eye
I wasn't an average guy
Fates intertwine as the circle starts to connect
Like the infinity sign my love for you forever set
To keep running in a circle I just keep wondering why....

Who I am Online..
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
I'm named after a machine and this great country I've seen
I'm Smooth and Mechanical in my daily routine
TVNation..is who I am online
Mostly at work when I past my time
An avatar worn like a shield for my heart
Where there is no ends but a million starts
Who is this TVNation are eyes capable to see?
My status gets updated when I log into Internet--ternity...
Click left, click right next thing your clicking all night...
Spirits gets battered in a cyberspace fight
It's only the beginning cause I see no end
As time moves on we all begin to blend
We become one under a Internet sun...
Not everything did has already been done...
Internet time never pays you no mind
It's something that you and I can not define
Together lets discover a universe anew
TVNation is happy to walk this path with you...

Our Greatest Sin
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Guard your heart always but let your emotions play
Reveal your mind but don't let it slip away
Happiness is a goal dreamers want to obtain
Misery is reality for those who believe it can be sustained
Fleeting emotions becoming one with the wind
Never knowing ourselves is our greatest sin
We seek what we feel not knowing the way
For an emotional treasure will be revealed one day.

Overcome
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
I move through life like swimming in the sea
Many a storm has battered me
Waves of destruction I've managed to outrun
It's like I was created to overcome
My stories are many I'll let time tell
How I went to sleep in Heaven woke up in Hell
Choices gain voices some cause more pain
Standing trial with a smile I still remain
A young boy who dreamed a future bright
Staring into space embracing the darkness of night
Solitude my lover we raised hell
Became a monster amongst demons I did dwell
No limit I took it to the brink
Heart so dead all I did was drink
Drowned that boy did my best to destroy
Used and played discarded like a toy
Shadows of me lay in the past
Here we go again will this new me last?
Lessons learned I feel no doubt
Can only play the cards as they're dealt
All is fun till you're staring down a gun....
One of many things I had to overcome....

Mental Smoke
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
I used to laugh out loud but today my soul began to cry
My heart grew roots into the earth so dry
How do I tame this swirling storm?
Its battering my mind until it's torn
How do I fix it?  Is it even broke?
Are my words just my mental smoke?
From my innards as they burn
In the ashes is where I learn
Who I am and what I've become
Could I really be the one true ONE?!?
"TRUE"
I've never known..
Love for me has always been like a stone
Hard and cold my warmth never felt
I do my duties like no one else
Then again....maybe I don't
I'm suffocating from all my mental smoke
It's in me...like a treasure to find
Nobody has ever had the right mind
One choice
To live my life
Reality is cold and cuts like a knife
So I slumber
Escape to a fantasy
A role playing world where I display my mastery
Of my emotions
Let them live free
For that is who I am and what I'm destined to be....

Family Affair
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
One Family united as one
The Father, Mother Daughter and Son
In unity we can set things right
In the darkness be the guiding light
Keep your heart open
Keep hoping
The Family be the truth to all lies spoken
We have the tools set it straight
I can't wait to see the date
We all can relate
Not to hate
A Families love
Black,White our blood is both red
ONE PEOPLE ONE WORLD we must move ahead
We can do it
Take a moment show someone you care
To get it together for..
ONE PEOPLE..ONE WORLD..ONE BIG FAMILY AFFAIR!

Voices
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
I hear voices..Telling me to do wrong
Take a life and make it last long
A serial murders life is what I'm living
Insane I never said I liked living
Death on my breath every step I take may be your last
Beware of a person who will **** your ***!!
I'm foul...make you release your bowels
Gun smoke is my favorite smell
Yellow tape, a body and a police report
No remorse you will never see me in court
Case closed
Call it an unsolved mystery
You know I'm leaving my mark on history
There are just too many voices in my brain
That's why I'm killing everyone cause I'm just insane
11 o clock where are the children?
If I find them I'm sure to be killing them
wrapping them up, marking their grave
A finger or a news clip is all I save
My beginning is your end
my intent is to **** out humanity
Surely why I do it is the reason of insanity.....

Dawn Of A New Age
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Welcome to the dawn of a new age
Open up the book and turn the page
Excelling to a higher degree
Understanding the evolution of humanity
Back on track showing I don't lack
Doing what I do to make you react
Lets take a trip through my mind
A poetic M.A.N is what you find
Who has the answers?
Let's ask the questions
It is as if no one is even paying attention
To money which was created by man
It separates people
Are you starting to understand?
It's a trap set by death it wont stop
Till we breath our last breath
Hmm that's right!!
Not even death is free
Is "Money" the mother of poverty
Overpopulation, segregation a bunch of messed up nations
Leads to World Wars of mass annihilation
Wartime, many battles rage on
Is it about hatred?
Or is it a politicians song
Time and space
The final frontiers
We can build bombs to blow up our atmosphere
Cultures wiped out to the future they are unknown
Aliens from space invade our home
Pledge allegiance to their flag
Whatever may wave which ever they have
Science is it fiction or fact?
Sometimes it is hard to believe all that
Who will do it?
Who will find the answers?
Prophets fall but not from cancer
GOD? Thee almighty one
Spoke to us on earth through his son
Whether you agree or disagree
The intention was to save humanity
Who will stand up?
Who will be the one?
To bring about change without firing a gun?
Every generation builds off the back of the last
Truths ignored dooms us to repeat our past..

Cyberspace Soul
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
I sit alone in my cyberspace home, king of my universe on my internet throne, searching through threads for my cyberspace queen, born in a fantasy, died in a dream, reality on the horizon through a sea of doubt, my cyberspace soul dissipates when my user logs out....

Lost :(
Poetry by MAN Jun 2013
Oh my lord, oh my gosh
The poem I was writing just got lost
It was a masterpiece, now it's gone
I feel forever I will sing this song
I was trying to hit save
I slipped and hit delete
My time was wasted it tastes so bittersweet...
Will it come back?
Where did it go?
Now I've lost my poets flow
****!
There's gotta be some clever way to let everybody know
That....
Oh my lord
oh my gosh
The poem I was writing just got lost
I'm ******.. ;(
6-15-13 M.A.N  I began writing poetry in June I write everything on an Ipad which is a pain because if your hand brushes the wrong button your material can get lost!!!!
