We know the road but still we're lost,
Amidst the fruit, the flames, the dust,
With just the names they gave to us,
Time cannot forsake you.

Born in summer, raised in rain,
What once was black be black again,
And words shall not return to them,
Time cannot forsake you.

Forever trapped in silent truth,
The pleading man weeps without use,
The final door, let slip the noose,
Time has not forsook you.

Think no more of fear, of fate,
No mind at war to love our hate,
All will rest with us this day,
For this is paradise.

Close your eyes
and find paradise.
It becomes everything you want in life
but then you wake up and don't like what you see,
and you're not the person you want to be.
Sometimes staying in a fantasy world seems like the best option, but I'm losing myself in that dreams and I can't find a way back to normal...maybe I just don't want to. I don't even know myself anymore.

"This poem,"
She says,
Her words a waterfall I could fall asleep to
And never hope to dream of sunlight brighter than.
"It is so sweet,"
The word rolls off her tongue and onto mine,
Strawberries and coconuts and paradise.
"She must be very special."

Blessed,
I am with wonderful heavenly abilities,
I just forgot how to fly.

Cursed,
I am with the gaping loneliness in my life,
I just do not belong here.

Seek,
I do a partner who understands me fully,
I just want that someone.
A self-dedication

We may be living in the last days and people need to be aware.
My only question for you is are you prepared?
People must make drastic changes even though they're unwilling.
People must stop stealing, doing and dealing drugs, lying and killing.
To get to God, we must go through his son.
Violent people had better put away their guns.
When Jesus returns, the Earth will be transformed into a paradise and I'm overjoyed.
But wicked people won't live in the paradise, they will be judged and then destroyed.
If you're a big sinner, you'd better stop committing your sins.
God wants everybody to live in paradise but the wicked won't win.
To live in this paradise, people must love and honor Jesus and God because they are who we need.
People must start thinking of others instead of just themselves, they must put an end to their greed.
The end may come next week or it may not arrive for another thousand years.
But people who are doing wrong had better change just in case the end is near.

I want you to know I went on vacation,
I can't say I'll be back because it's amazing.
I wish you could just see,
Exactly where I'll be.
I'm free of pain, free of darkness
When you think of me, simply reminisce.
Don't think about what I did to leave,
I made my own choice and took the keys.
I'll still be here, true in your hearts
In your mind, in eyes, even your farts.
I still can't be serious when it needs,
But if I ever made you smile, it has set me free.
I wish I would've said goodbye
But it's okay, I'll be waiting in **paradise.
From a day when I was hopelessly lost. Thank God I stayed, thank God i fought.
Sweet tamarind pods stick to the warm black tarmac
where fortunate doves wander about in the shade,
trilling to themselves, and each other.

Either something strikes them as funny,
or they just love their easy lives.

Certainly, they sound so different from their
modest cousins, cooing sadly in colder places.

Born here in Paradise, these birds wear blue
eye shadow every day, and not just on weekends.

Late afternoon finds me in their lazy midst,
hair wet and curling, sand stuck to my bare, tanned feet.

graying hair and rotting teeth
worms will feast on you soon
clouded eyes looking through clouded windows
sad face remembering happy memories
leather skin and deep wrinkles
try not to despair

do you even remember?
when you were young and happy
running through fields
rolling through grass hills
go back to it now
*let the pain dissipate

Under the thick dreadlocks of tangled forest trees,
gathering wind swirls with a desire uncontrollable
whispers  wildly wicked things, intensely  stimulating,
in to his ears, when she stood leaning over him, like a vine.

He had an impulse wrong to control this sudden whim,
not fully understanding where from the mind of the forest
it comes, though this yearning from the deep, is elysian,
he doubts, will this coiling up serpentine lust stifle love?

From head to toe, she was trembling like a leaf in wind,
and he thinks what's for her to fear, at this moment,
when he looks in to her burning dark eyes, a tremor
wakes up the dumb lover, he sees the reason of her sighs,
and involuntary rocking and grinding of *****, in rhythm.
They tumble on the grass, at that instant, rolling on he finds
himself riding a wave, that behaves as if it will decide the rest.
transformation from love's flight of fancy to the salacious  explorations
is a moment often embarrassing to look back..

I wish I could turn back time
To the good old days

Even thinking back
I was never here
I was and will be lost in this world

I was never suposed to be

I wish I could turn back time
To the good old days

To the time "I" was "me"
Before I ever knew myself  
With all the senses of being, of existing

Before the ralms of reality took hold of my soul and twisted it to something unknown

Before I was thrown out of paradise itself
And into a crule unforgiving world of lost souls like my own

I feel it deep within
What I lost, what is missing

Just living life and expirencing true fulfillment of just being a human being

A human soul
