Have you felt the pain in my city yet ?
Winds on a surge,
Houses and minds overturned,
Life's taking an unwanted turn.
You can't be surprised,
This hurricane has no soul.

These roads leading to your path of destiny
Been cracked by too much debris on main street
The president isn't gonna do too much about it,
He's too comfortable laid back in his seat.
Chop
Another
Tree.
How can america come together in a nation wide crisis
When we can't come united to solve the real everyday problem ?
These power lines and houses been falling
Flood levels in Florida and Texas are rising
Didn't this world learn about broken hearts in New Orleans ?
Keeping your life in order
As the ones that love build on pain to peace
Only if you see through the rain, life's tears, a world's need.
Have you felt the pain in my city ?

My bodies cold,
My lips are blue,
I did this.
All because of you.

I sit at the park,
Puffing toxic smoke ;
Inhaling the pain i weep alone.
My life, indeed is like a rolling stone.
As the sun shines,
I became blinded,
While I exhale..
Puff.
Puff.
Puff.
Where is my hope.

Love became just a stranger to me,
I came home one night,
And all of my belongings has disappeared,
Mysteriously.
I never knew, silence could be your worst enemy.
A newcomer to this type of pain,
I will never look at another visitor the same.
Again.
Yet, this slithery, silent, serpent still creeps..
Clutching on my throne..
I'm praying to hear God's voice..
But the echo of a closed mouth
Is too profound.
I never thought love, would make stranger in my home.
This is the lonely life of being alone.

So many strange fruits,
       In the streets.
Black bodies living in the sewers
Africans hanging from the apple trees,
Used needles on concrete,
Blood has a new home build with tears,
It's sad to say,
It's sad to say,
Children are born here.
They wonder why life became so rotten.

I never understood,
Why I was going through so much pain..
I was a absent minded, quiet boy who finally steped up and speaked,
Got laughed at by all my peers,
So I sat down, in defeat.
Hypnotized in silence thinking about how words is now my number one fear.
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can NEVER hurt me ?
It can crush you, maybe not physically
Mentally, it felt like a heavy handed, boxer's punch
Hitting my soul in the 1st round
And he's down for the count.
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
6...
7...
8...

-I get pulled out of class before the bell rings.

I can feel it in the air;
Closed doors and little words spoke.
Life became a silent whisper,
Has infidelity banging on my door step
He waits for me to fall asleep, so he can smoothly slide right in.
Fornication is a misplaced sin,
When it comes to marriage.
Love is the worst weapon to use
I knew I was being used...
God have mercy on our home!
It's once beautiful face
Has now so many scars...
I told her,
Till' death do us part.


©MH

I'm proud to say
I'll always be one with you
Wrapped around your sheets of passion
Embracing the aroma of love pushed between the covers
Love it
Like I love your personality
Dance our poetry around the bed
As we glaze into the moonlight
Hold the stars tight
Tonight is the night.

Sweet Liberation!
A word to listen to.
God told me,
Wisdom.
Can only be plucked from his apple tree.

One day,
I was sitting alone in my room.
God spoke to me and said
Son, you are blessed !
These years of darkness and feeling depressed
Will soon be put to rest
And you then  shall have a new life
Risen through him.
Can't you feel power of his word running through your veins ?
Can't you feel the energy in his real name ?
It's time to change he said.
My love for you has always stayed the same
I know all your pain
I know all your struggle
My arms are still open wide
To reunite you one day with your mother.
As the sun rises another day.

My girl ,
Thinks im crazy.
I'm talking about pushing dasies.
Life ?
Don't phase me.
Only the lord can really save me.
I keep my head up high,
This broken soul been though the worst times
My eyes been flushed dry.
Got you wondering why,
I'm ready to die.

I pray for a new beginning,
I pray for a sharper mind,
I pray for a better understanding in your name,
My spirit is broken,
Because its not the same.
In the picture
But I'm outside the frame.

SNAP !

Time for change.

On this special day,
Hope rises,
As the passion for your embrace melts into love comes my way.
The thoughts
Of your sweet round face
Makes me believe I took a flight to see you yesterday,
Looking out the window,
Longin' for your kiss
Feenin' for those dancin hips,
Us,
Getting a taste of what it really means to live in bliss.
No tests,
No fights,
Just peace.

The strength of this newly placed heart
That we created,
Only sinks deep,
And deeper,
Makes me believe we belong on the heart-filled picture.

                       U & I,
            Happy Valentine's day.           ©MH

Another night with my eyes closed,
Time froze at 11:59.
Wish I can wake up and see the light
Maybe God's light will shine
So bright..
And help me smile again.

Our President,

Wants meatloaf;

Not liberation.

Life is too tragic
To be on the agenda of a

D   y    i   n g  
                            N  a  t  i  o  n

Enrich in the taste.

What I thought I saw yesterday,
Is not who I am, the man of today.
The sun came and
Shined a pathway to heavens gates.
It would indeed be a blessing to
Touch God's beautifully crafted key,
And feel
The presence of the Lord's grace
Calling on me,
Guiding me,
Inspiring me,
To become A Man Of Change.

He knows
All my pain
All my struggle
He hears me when
I pray
Believe he'll help me
Lead the way

Work on me lord.

Faced with difficulties
Right in front of the enemy
Dismember my hopes & dreams.
Life ain't ****.
That's when he plants the seed.

Work on me lord.

Sprout out to his name in misery
Crushed by souls in defeat
Let my sprit sink deep.

Our roots are dying.

Work on me lord.

I pray.

For change.

Where has the love gone ?
Feelings so strong
It seems I sing the same ol song
" I love you "
" I miss you "
" I'm sorry "
All the feelings we have feels like we scream in silence
Great way to hide it.
Build our bond through frustration that seeps through our pillows
What
Else
Do
We
Know ?

Its only been 2 days but i feel like we havent talked in months
But its even worse that i cant feel your physical touch
Feels like our love is running out of luck
Can we repair it with trust ?
We got to,
Being with you is a must.
Yes we had another argument
But all i want to do is understand each other.
So can we try again
And try to repair the bond that feels broken ?
We have the puzzle ,
Its the pieces we have to put together for us to remain focus.
These are the voices in my head that speaks to me while I lay hopeless body at night.
But it's that one special voice that screams back at me through the pillow.
I love you.
