Ms. Cine Margaret Alston, my Cousin who has an open mind
But it was her Mother, Ms. Stephanie ***-Alston adding Wisdom combined
Ms. Cine who went on to achieve a Masters in Public Administration
It was her consistent class presentations being illustrations
Hard as they were, Ms. Alston stayed the course
It was her Mother’s encouragement and plenty of inspiration
But it was the everyday of God taking the wheel in driving Ms. Cine into a commodity of theory, Concept, Adaptability, Analytical and understanding
However, higher and greater education is knowledge with another milestone of Ms. Alston becoming an Honor student and achieving beyond her own expectations
But it was Long Island University Downtown Brooklyn Campus getting all the indications
Graduates all together waiting for their name to be called
LIU being my philosophy, “You are now successful to become true business scholars and achievers all will see, and as you depart through the final exit doors, it will be LIU and education you all did pursue
You are our products and our method of education your investment at LIU
A time you had some doubt
But you applied effort and we prepared you in the technique in how you will achieve
It doesn’t matter in the area of concentration
We instilled the discipline of what graduate education is all about
So hold your head high with pride and dignity and, say LIU  loud
I graduated and I am proud
Throw your graduation hat up in the air
Walk on Graduates and our blessings in your future endeavors for you to preserver.
I sleep
I cook
I eat
I dance
I breath
And I song poetry throughout the month the mouth and the world hear I'm inspired to tell you.

I write
I read
And I adventure on with poetry indeed I have a thousand reasons to tell you.

I'm never alone with these stories  cause I have a mind that's blurt, deity, burly, flirty, nerdy, needy  happy, fortify, *****, deep romantic in red words slurred in the sheets again so here I am with the beautiful rage beating out my the best of me  from start to finish beautiful love should never end*.

I felt so good for the first time when I was looking into your eyes because I felt satisfaction and you found affection to me that’s double attraction knowing that we’ve found each other heading towards the unknown and carefully we throw out the broken parts of us and we entered beauty without a price the risk was worth it and there was no denying happiness was within our grasp unfolding between right in the flow of something beautiful shape into a place that is full of sunlight and intimate things can help but to smlie and laugh every time we cross paths
In person to dreams and thoughts
each feeling is magical
that’s like hue and intervention baby
I promise it’s sweet strong and passionate
Every time I wake up next to you
My heart beats quicker, my judgement gets easier everyday
life is beautiful when the flowers are blooming that ecstasy
that perfect bliss
And that fantasy without titles
it’s don’t wonder why I keep dreaming
That day when we shared our first kiss
baby
and now it’s set
I’m with you until the endlessly.

Travis Alston
look a little closer,
What do you see

Think a little deep,
What do you feel

When you close your eyes to sleep goodnight...

Tell me doesn't it seems like the innocent don't matter

Okay, whatever

I'm sure

’it's something we leave as we push forward in life of following others

And we seem to forget
And turned ruthless  

We know the rest all too well

Sorry but not sorry

We left the innocent without happiness

Farewell there's nothing else to mention

Cause after all this earth- is shattering chaos.

And now everyone's threaten to snap

After bitter taste of insecurities and slippery conversations.

I wrote a line for you

It’s in the dreaming clouds

It’s in the ocean waves

It’s in my heart

And in my hands

In my mind

Leaving no space

Don’t you understand  

I fantasize But,

Maybe one day you’ll see everything beautiful

And I hope one day we could share a life together

Once you get settled into the light

then I’ll finally have a million topics to write

But for now

I’m stuck without you

So may our memories be with you until the day of reunited

I can’t wait to see your face

By the sun and by the moon

I want You deep in my heart

Like lust

and I hope you throw it all over me

When you come to me in open arms

you’ll see everything is beautiful,

Just Like you are

my frist true love I’ll never let you down*

Travis Alston~
It took you centuries to find your sparks

But it only took me one day to write  these wrongs

Finally after the stroms

Im bound
to the place that I had once found.

In my dreams perfect pearls, perfect ski  

Beautiful world

Paradise

blue moonlight speaks the truth

Unlimited love tonight

No need to rush
No need to bail
Okay,
I'm all in until the end*

Travis Alston~
It's you who smiles in the darkness
It's you who placed laugher in myself
It's nothing when I'm with somebody else
Believe me,  

It's you who brightens up the sky
It's you living in bloom
It's you who interest my heart endlessly its love from the start
It's you who inspires my dreams at night
It's you who knows my worth more then a thousand times before
Its you who creates my tribute to art , my focus from start
It's you who flare the sparks in my mind
But honestly its nothing when I'm with somebody else.

Truly your one of a kind
And I can see that look in you eye's every time you think of that beautiful place in our life, remember those lovely words I wrote, from the past summer's I remember a thousand more but I think everyone has heard
It's nothing when I'm with somebody else.

It's you who takes these pictures
It's you who captures memories for more
It's you who taste like Rosevelt your the perfect taste on my tongue much love I'm having fun but for real though
It's You that looks fantastic
It's You who is ready to explore
With the whispering wind
I admit
And I adore
Just tell me how far you wanna go sweetens cause at the end of each day
Your love is excitement
And I'm can't explain how much joyful nosie is in life right now
Whenever I'm close to you It's like a dream of two in a romantic room what a view
cool in the nights
Baby welcome to paradise
.

The only difference is that
You can see my smile
But not my frustration on every night I look in the mirror and I came to realize that beauty is not found in your heart no longer so therefore I'm unhappy knowing that you've walked away from our friendship over nothing you can't find.

during our time
You were hot
But then you got cold constantly ignoring me through my phone calls and message
I thought we was good for sure
I thought you loved me everyday that's what you said
But then if it wasn't true then it must be a lie
For real though what happen to you or I
Tell me why the **** our friendship just died over nothing you can't find.

Even when the nights went by
I found the picture of me and you
Just having a good times but I bet you don't remember those memories
Better yet you probably don't care to acknowledge them
But sometimes you're not the girl I knew
But personally I wanted to be the guy to keep you close to my heart endlessly but I guess love wasn't mentioned to be in your eyes I see
What happened to I
Whatever happened to you and our beautiful friendship
We went from friends to nothing
But now I don't exist to you
And I know to you this poem don't mean nothing  
But to me it dose tell me the actions of your worth towards me in at end.

Now I see its nothing
To hold or to keep
But my words cause it's worth it
Knowing one day you'll look back on this
But I'll be gone to far ahead then It'll be to late cause I've already said my final thoughs before the end and still I don't know what tore us apart only you have the answer to what I don't know.

From the highest to the lowest level I’m living on the weight of the world I stand where all cry from the lightest to the boldest There’s write and there’s wrong In all of my stores, Your greatest fear is a warning Your heart is broken more like abandonment The door is closed And equal can’t be respected And like the softest lullaby I’d ever heard But only lies threatened From the highest To the lowest level I’m living on the weight of the world I stand where all cry In lost love In lost hope you cannot close your eyes without being afraid only to look forward They could not fill They could not ease The mind on instrumental Because the sadness was to deep To understand how The same ones you helped The same ones you love Only leave you alone Living on the weight of the world Traveling on this lonely road I stand where all cry*

Longevity, the way life is awarded in a blessing
It’s wisdom that contributes to the living lesson
So what 93 so special?
Let’s look at the distinction in read and see
There were two people that were my personal heroes, Donald Coffin and Natalie Alston, who were both 93 and died
They left me the inspiration to stride
The understanding that both provided
Some people say to me, play that number 93 in the lottery
But my thoughts are on maybe and possibly
However, nothing is really guaranteed
93 is not an easy number to reach in life, it is a gift
It is eternity blessings stored
But accounts all from the Lord
So the lottery, don’t be so sure
Yet 93 is a number that no one would ignore
93 for me is encouragement
The legacy of wisdom feeling like nourishment
Live out the full creed until done
But living to be 93 at least I would be still among
Not everyone can live to even reach 93
It is a blessing to see
93 maybe only number
But it is a high digit close to a 100
Live on and think confident
Praying on and be blessed
Avoid stress and be youthful
But the two deceased individuals lived their life out being wonderful
Again, longevity is not easy to reach
But a day by moment being a lesson like a Bible scripture feeling like a sermon preach

— The End —
