"carrys" poems
she looks in the mirror
grabs her face cream
and as she applies it it down her neck
she looks at me and smiles
"don´t forget your neck" she says
otherwise only your face will stay young
since i can remember she was beauty
everyone always told me
but i was never her
i didn´t have her long hair or nails
that easy smile and grace
"you know my lips used to be just as full"
she says showing me old pictures
"i used to have fuller hair too"
she says stroking my hair
but i don´t anymore
It almost feels like a contest
you look skinny she says
i didn´t eat today she says
my mother is beautiful
but she doesn´t see it anymore
sometimes i forget she is more
more than just beauty
more than just my mother
who always carrys grace
that she is a person
my mother just turned fifty
"does this make me look fat" she asks
"do i look old" she asks
sometimes i believe she forgets too
that she is more than her beauty
that she is a person

and then
you come to realize
that your porcelain bones
can't take much more
you're falling apart
in her hands
and she doesn't
want to save you
she'll drop you
to the floor
at the first sign
of those spiderweb cracks
fractured perfection
mental misteps
up the stairs
as she loses balance
while she carrys you
porcelain bones
and parchment skin
how much more poetry
can your body take

Long summer nights
When the warm wind blows
I like to travel in the city
Feeling a bit tipsy by my own
In my travels I find the most beautiful sceneries
When the sun starts to rise
And waves bring on shore the foam
I think of you while Im sipping ***
O, how I long the taste of *** on your tounge
The city is asleep
and the streets have quieten
I see only a few fellow wanderers
Whom I care not to think
For you are on my mind
The brake of dawn had me blink
And for a second I saw you by my side
"The sand hides its secrets beneath it",
I wonder while I bury my feet into it
Soft breeze carrys the scent of citrus, lavender and clove
I tilt the bottle and saviour the aroma that reminds me of home

I am a boat, and life is the sea.
Im minding my own business,
Trying to get from point A to point B.
Wave after wave, life crashes into my boat.
Wave after wave I barely stay a float.
I race to my lover, wherever she may be.
I am but lonely in this boat,
I cry for her, at last! her kingdom by the sea...
I speak up and with Cause,
She stares open, looking right through me.
I wait for its a long pause...
She says to me, "oh dear traveler from the sea,
You come but I need no rescue your trip has ended for I seek and wait for my lover"
"But I travelled over your crused sea, surprised i didnt flip, wave after wave I sit, and all this time it was for another?"
"Oh weary traveller you have much to learn,
For I am not your queen, but just a girl waiting her turn."
With that she let me go on my way,
Hopeful that I find happiness some other day.
I fell in love with my travel to get her,
beauty, grace, the memory is now a blur.
You won't be forgotten, ill try to keep close, just in case you ever fear,
Your call will reach me, no matter how far or how near.
My little boat carrys on with hope in my heart, that one day ill find her
may we never fall apart.

That pathway to paradise with an open door
Where illusions can stumble souls
A cunning smile awaits at every turn
Within a feeble traumatic mind .
Deluding every step you make
Building your hope on desert sand
A whirlwind with impulsive light
Carrys you away to a world unknown.
And like a cork you are tossed into the waves
Now land awaits with solid ground.
Then truth will emerge to take you home
Reality will greet you with her open arms
Then life will take its glories flight.
The deception of your heart will change
And erase the mirage from your eyes.
True colours will emerge again
And then you will smile for real this time.

I'm that girl
Who
When it rains
Carrys her umbrella
But won't use it
She'd rather get rained on
I was injured as a child
By an umbrella
I opened it and it sliced
My finger
I remember the pain too well
So now I fear being
Injured by the one thing
I had to protect me
From the storm
So I may still carry you
With me
But I might not
Let you protect me
This is how I am.
This is why.

I got my own job, & was hired.
I met someone else better inspired.
Mutual respect transpires.
The past carrys on & lasts.
I won't be back.
Move fast ahead, be rid of you instead.
The door you slammed.
My life you ******
It was settled.
We're over....infidelty mettled.
Your upset I bet.
Your own regret.
My future is set .

She models as she wiggles
Past faces of human and thinkers
They know her my permit
For her exclusive elegance.
Never does she wear colons
She carrys my nature scent.
Her thumb moves down to encroachers
The geniuse seen by style and speech
their eyes hang in vain
And Hearts torn apart
My great representation

My African culture
Uprooted from my ancestors
And pused on from generation to generation
My African culture- might seem
Like a taboo , sounds funny or looks like a
**** but this carrys alot of benedictions
My African culture tells the story of were we
came from and most probably were we are heading
It describes and names itself so
there is really no need for it given a heading
My African- culture the one source of pride and
Joy
hard to replace yet easy to enjoy
My African culture oh my beautiful culture
my soul screams in joy from the energy of my
people and from the rythm of the African drum my
heart beats
movements degin within my feet
my spirit telling me to move
in a fleet
I dispiss and dislike a person who
malingers or derides his culture,such
a beautiful thing,such a precious
, Special thing
My African culture tells the true
tells of fallen legends, of great worriors
And of most celebrated heros yet
it never varies the tall in the telling
Now that's my Wonderful African culture

Am rendered helpless in a battle to save the restless.
Upon them i cry as my strength wiggles the chains curfing them
Desparate for their freedom u stood in the agony of self sacrifice
I have much more to gain than loose
They are jailed to insanity of hopelessness,i save them in a confussion of passioned hope of possibility
Who will apart from me, one with a heart baked by an incubator, the one big one that carrys carries pains and joys for all met and amended.
Am not from here neither from within,am from afar the place you know closest. The highest of peaks to the far of east in echos and north to never return to misery
The cable of transmission for a life you hope for, the road for those who choose the paths guided from above.

Forever Ever or Never
Forever does it exist? Forever is never doesn’t exist. It betrays hearts, breaks bones in its subtle nuances. It takes love, makes it eternal but it’s not. There is nothing just worn down cloth from the gaggery. No one has any right to tell. Love has no name so don’t expect it to deliver your ***** pleasures.
Aphrodite has a mirror_ it reflects your world of despicable lust. Her voice flogs those who use its dance for uppity pose.
Freyja was here with Eros flown away.
I am impassioned with this. Never born_trapped in mother’s uterus_screaming forever. But you released me. This hideous hateful horrid hobgoblin always down inside inner core gutter’s sewer range. Crawling with the dregs- scrags_ slags lovers who have been banished for a dream of sensuality.
Unbeknown to every scab here, I am to see_ relish freedom_ hovering, staggering towards my light, the golden globe IBurning gone but not forever as there is no ever or nowhere forgone. Person of steel lifts me out of the gutter- carrys me on her back to the hollowmen hole. I’m gone.
