This
This is the day
This is the day you cry
The day you cry the hardest

But these
These are the days
These are the days you loved
The days you loved the most

And You Call Me "Sunshine"

And You Call Me "Sunshine"

You steal the darkness away from me
Place it in a sack and send it sailing into a river
To be swept away by the swift water
You light a candle with your eyes,
Make it grow with your smile -
Light my world with your kiss

And you call me "sunshine"

communication

I speak to you
Through poems I didn't write,
Silence that screams the outcome
Of our lack of action,
And love like a language
You will never understand.

Black and Red

Black and Red

Black and red is all I saw
Unable to speak because I'm in awe
Black is red is all I see
Filling up my vision until its blurry
Black and red lingerie on a body not mine
Against another who's eyes I can't find
Black and red is all you focus on
Because what you are doing is so wrong
Black and red is what we both see
As the girl that isn't me rushes to leave
Black and red is how I feel
Black for the pain and red for the wounds that won't heal
Black and red is all I see
Because there is a cheating black man on my floor bleeding

If you enjoy my writing come to my site and show it some love at jazleigh.weebly.com Thanks to all for reading! :)

It's not Pretty

It's not Pretty

Wanna see the real me

turn off the lights

and

scream.

Just an idea about the darkness in my mind

There

There

I want to be a long gust of wind
that picks you up off your feet
and keeps you [there]
Aimlessly floating around
and never coming down from that rush
that brought you [there]
Sometimes though, it also brings a feeling
the pressure of the ocean floor
collapsing into your heart
stopping it [there]
It's only for an intense second
enough that you loose your breath and know it's weight
that grounds a feeling [there]
Because even in our minds
we still feel the gravity
as it pulls us down from [there]
But then I'll come around again
like a ship pouring from your chest
that guides you back [there]
Aimlessly floating around
in a cosmic cave of bursting nebulas
that keep you [there]

He Seeks

He Seeks

We seek Him.
He seeks us.
We seek prayers.
He seeks to save us.
Yes, God truly loves us.

If he have thought about giving up.
We would never know.
Because we are not God.

We see color.
He see us.
We see hatred.
He see love.

We see selfishness.
He see gracefulness.
We see anger.
He see calmness.
Is it a wonder that the Lord loves us?

We see trouble.
He see temperance.
We see breakup.
He see makeup.

All the things he see within us.
If we only believe that God knows the way for us to handle things.

We see negative.
He see positivity surrounding us.
We are blessed.
He alone has blessed us.

We all should trust in him.
He has complete trust in us.
We adapt to him.
He don't adapt to us.

Yes, God see the best in us to succeed.
Again, if we only honestly believe.

We see fights.
He see peace.
For He alone know wars will be the destruction of us all.

We seek closure.
He seeks openess.
He want us to testify with truth.
That He alone is God and that no other exist like him.

He was here in the beginning.
He'll be there in the end.
He's God

Acronymically Hindered

Acronymically Hindered

Aching...
Aching in a place where I only thought love was generated.
Frustrated...
Frustrated in a area where I thought, my thoughts sought and fought for understandings

Chilly, shivery, nippy, bitter,
Like the runt of a litter

Tired; not drowsy
Tired; not sleepy
Tired; not sluggish or slumberous

Tired as in worn, burned-out, weary...
...Done

It is not only that you do not feel the effects,

You don't even see them on my face

You look at me everyday,
I just look back
If you don't have a clue
If you don't ask, or don't care
That's a clue
That's my Q
Dont ask Y
When you become my X
...
At night I've been losing Zs
I have to start paying more attention to I
I gave up all of my energy, and now I'm running on E
So now I don't give a F

LOL (Lost Our Love)
You lost it too; I'm J/K (Just Knowing)
I'm glad IDK (I Didn't Kneel)
Now I have to B.S (Block Sensitivity)
And ***** (LET MY ******* ANGER OUT)

Universal Remote

Universal Remote

If I was in control

If the remote was in my grasp
I will aim it
The Channel
I would change it
Change it to back in the days
When we were on the same page

You'll be programmed
To no man
Except me
...
Coincidently

As I am reminded
I would rewind
I would use my heart as my guide
Re-run when we had the best times

Record it
Fall back in love by the adornment
Recollect the enjoyment

But most important, I would record over the reasons for exploring

I would delete everything that was annoying
I would mute all of the distracting noises
And I would have never pressed input
Therefore I couldn't have played games with you

I would have turned it to channel 5683
And pressed enter
Just like Lifetime
It's love

Then I would have stopped it there
And stared in your face
Clasp my hands together
Say my grace

Press play

Do the right things
Turn on the captions
And watch what I say

Fast forward to today

Now the scenes are; our stomachs aching from laughter

We act like nothing ever happened
So we can live happily ever after
