With a similar footfall!

Displaying a superb
Long-distance athletic feat
When many superstars
Awe inspiringly you beat
And as a result of it
When your sought-for
Fought-for
And nation- prayed-for
Dream proves a hit
And also with kudos
A stadium full of people opt
You to greet
And when spectators
Accord you a high five
It is for your country's  flag
You  immediately dive!
Also on the podium
while Ethiopia's row-wise
Green,Yellow and Red
Emblazoned flag,
Shoulder high,
Soars above
You express
Your  umbilical cord-tight
National love
With tears that
Trickle down each of
Your cheek,quick.

Is it because
Reminiscent of
Each living hero
With a life sacrifice
That brought colonial
Aggression to zero?

Is it because
The bounty of the land
You grew up
Seeing first hand?

Is it because
The cherished corner
You cut in the heart of
The poor but prideful
Ethiopian neighbour?

Is it because
The unity in diversity
That showcases
Ethiopia's identity
Or citizens hospitality?

Is it because
At heart strings a tug
Or ,among others
Gratefulness to
Your iron-strong lung
When you hear
Ethiopian anthem sung?

Is it because a secret another
Deep down you harbour?

Is it because the Fertility
Hope and Sovereignty ideals
The flag advance,
Also Ethiopia's being
A beacon of independence
What is more
The nation's renaissance
Which in a curtain of mist
Before your eyes dance?
A poem I prepared this time in connection  with the celebration of the flag day,Ethiopia

Dear fifteen year old self,
I know you have never met me.
And you never will, for I took over...
Grew from your essence.
But I just wanted to let you know a few things.
See that face of yours? The one you cry in front of in the mirror? You're beautiful. You're changing from a cute awkward little kid into a strong wonderful, inspiringly beautiful woman. Trust nature. Wipe your tears, and believe that it's okay. You're 15. Relax. You're pretty. Those big brown eyes will get you anything you wish for. Trust me. I know.

Next, see that boy? The cute one who knows how to talk a little bit too smoothly... Who's a little bit too cheeky.... There's no point in me telling you to stay away because we both know that doesn't work. We are the same person after all... Just be careful...... And whatever you do, DO NOT sleep with him. You're too young. You're gonna have your first kiss, and he's gonna make you feel like you're flying and falling and being caught all at the one time.... But you're not. You're going to kiss people 1000 times better than that, you'll realise it was sloppy and kind of a waste of eight months.
But the heartbreak. When he leaves you for your best friend.. When you're left without anyone beside you. That will honestly almost **** you. But you'll be okay. The fact that you feel this way makes you become the strong beautiful woman you are today. You can get through it, all of it, even the **** that's not about the guy. The **** that is going on inside your head, inside your home.... You'll survive. And you'll write.

One last thing, I'm sure I'm missing a few things, maybe I'll realise them when I'm a little bit older...... But that musical talent you've got, it's there.... It's in your ears... And possibly your voice. That's a grey area at the moment. You're going to find your way. And musicians should come with warning signs..... danger sheer drop ahead like at the end of the road in a cartoon where the path turns into a cliff....... Because you'll fall, when you're around my age. And they are very good pretenders. Be careful sweetheart.

It's never too late.
You're growing up so beautifully.
Be proud.
And try not to be too sad........

Love,
18 year old you...
I think I want to create a series of these kinds of letters.....
storm siren Nov 2016
I sign my letters
usually with a dash and then my name,
or a "Yours Truly,"
because of a song I heard
when I was, I think, seventeen.

maybe eighteen.

but if I were to write you
a letter
I'd fill it with all the different ways
you light up my soul
or all the different ways
you fill up my heart

and if I were to write you,
I'd kiss the seal of the envelope
to make sure you felt me somehow,
and if I were to write you,
I'd send the letter with sugar and oatmeal raisin cookies,
and red and black tea.
and if I were to write you,
I wouldn't unless you were too far away
to hold.

because as much as I simply adore letters
and the written word
having you in my arms now
is much too important
to miss out on.

yours truly,
and yours forever.
My head hurts.
Jay Ash Aug 2015
Your existence is a revolution of colour
Of ideas and creation.
A radical paradox of reality.
A heartbreakingly complex story
but
an inspiringly strong
Heart
Travis Green Dec 2021
I will arouse you so inspiringly
With my compelling slow jams
Excitement will rise from your being
You will dance to the beat of my ship
Your emotions will explode into an ocean
Of incredible sensations
Your ****** peak will be super sweet and milky
****, poetic liquids will escape from your flawless rod head

Every night as I fall asleep
Its your face I long to see
In the dream that never ends
Where wishing stops, and love begins.

To dance with you under the moonlight
The stars shining forever bright
A song so beautiful, tender and true
Words that are meant for me and you.

Gentle breeze of the night passes by
Leaving a kiss on the lips of you and I
Nurturing dew, blankets our souls
As the midst of the night loses control.

Now lying beneath the stars so bright
Our bodies together so tightly entwined
The cries of our emotions drowned the song
The beating of our hearts inspiringly strong.

As the brightness fades from the stars array
The night journeys on into everlasting day
Where wishing stops, and love begins
This is the dream that shall never end.

Your hair is a nest to beauty as birds and magic as feathers and a hat to a mind that is bursting with butterflies of lovely and songs of amazement

Your eyes are a galaxy themselves and I’m lost with the stars and the planets and moons and their colors are colors you cannot find in your house or outside or anywhere else but your eyes

And your voice is a sound no human could repeat or imitate as each word has its own unique feel and movement and each one carries me a different place with different stories and worlds and I visit each one as you speak to me

And your neck is a structure built perfectly holding up your valuable face and sturdy enough to appear as strong and as powerful as the trunk of a tree in the woods

And your chest, how it moves when you breathe and your breaths contain rhythms and notes that I cannot avoid for the death of me

And your arms and their movements and actions and how they hold sound alongside them that whistle when they sway
And their shape and how it so much appears as a branch that holds hands that are berries and good to the taste

And your fingers and how they are those vines going up walls on the sides of those buildings downtown and their slippery grace and the power you hold in your tightly closed hand and the power that flees when you loosen your grip

And your legs how they carry such a grand prize and how they help you to move and spread your wonder and greatness about so inspiringly
And the way they move, so swiftly and I’m sure they could dance such a dance that no human’s eyes have ever focused on before


And your feet

And how I hope one day they take you straight to me

"Respect Yourself."
Passing words from a yellow car
inspiringly raised society's bar.
Where, instead of an ad,
words of wisdom to mental health
Have lifted those the car have passed.
Hope for this world, at long last.
Travis Green Dec 2022
I hunger for your incredible incontestable hunkiness
To rumple my jungle, make me mumble
While you crumble my voluptuousness
Guzzle down my lovable nuzzleable construction
Cause me to shudder and stumble
As you chuckle and compel my nerve cells

Propel your pleasure pumping muscle
Deep in my soft, luscious muffin
Knock me for a loop, mister lewd rude coup
Stretch me out, work it out, cause me to shout
Arouse me, surprise me, wow me

Pulverize my tight enticing playground
Shock my thoughts and feelings
Give me a million thrilling hits
Of blazing hot slamming straightness
Lock me up in your slammer

Enamor the grammar that rolls off my tongue
While you tease me with your smooth, youthful lips
Cause me to shiver as you deliver
Your formidable gripping heat into my system
Inscribe your name on my domain

Don’t play around when you pound my town
When you introduce me to your high-profile game
I want you to make me give it up, beat it up, eat it up
Rough me up cold-bloodedly
Show me what it means to be in love
With a dangerous flaming gangsta

Cause me to scream and cling to your large
And immensely powerful hands
Young and scented dream fiend
I wanna be lost in your steamy screaming sensualness
Feel my body tremble as you kindle my senses

Make me woozy with your smooth groovy *****
Make you hooked on my curvy blooming beauty
Passionate debonair Daddy
You are so magical and unforgettable
You know how to get it cracking with your crashing attraction
Strapped with black swagged-out magic

Breezy freezy sweetness
You got me saluting your consuming
And flourishing pulchritude
Finding exquisite and speechless delight
In the rarest wondrous kryptonite

Keen supreme excellency
I feel your sheer fierce masculinity
Creeping in my secret sweet spot
The more you bend me over
And mack with my idyllic artistic masterpiece

Smell me like sumptuous bubblegum
Sip on my delectableness
Like a Hennessy orange blast
Put me in your jail cell
And slam your inspiringly juicy snake
Deeper in my wetness of pleasure

Make me embrace your hypnotic raw flow
The way you rock me
With your hottest crash-hot moves
Display your robustly seductive attitude
Kiss and lick my lush, lustrous curves

Immerse me in your provocatively prominent rapture
Light me up like a burning blunt
Make my body vibrate
While you celebrate your victory over me
And ******* your mouth-watering man gravy
All over my sensational salt shaker
Travis Green Oct 2021
You were flawless hot sauce
My munificent magic mulatto
Deeply delightful waves
Black and spectacular beard
Your swagger on top quality mode
Showstopping J’s
That demonstrates your **** taste

I envisioned us as lovers
Entwined in your rousing refinement
Your fantabulous framework
So exuberant to breathe
In your wild boy dreams
To feel your red-light fire
Rising inspiringly over me
The flames evincing
A strong fondness
That I have for you

If our worlds were converged
If our thoughts blossomed in harmony
If our voices shared incomparable sounds
If our extremities were concentric
If our dimensions streamed systematically
If you were my man and I was your woman
We would be an unsplittable couple
I could feel you forever
Exosphere Apr 2021
I wish you happy, playful feelings today
glow in the dark feelings
unicorn rainbow sticker feelings
the kind of gentle, innocent, inspiringly optimistic feelings I had when I kissed you goodbye on the cheek that time after you told me to stay on my side of the car but I snuck that kiss in anyway because I just couldn’t help it and I thought it would be sweet and encouraging

also, I want to have *** with you feelings
I’ll throw in some of those too
Travis Green Oct 2023
I can’t see anyone but him
In my unparalleled gay world
Don’t wanna feel another one’s touch
On my young, voluptuous frame
But his strong, skillful hands all over me

Carry me to his soothing paradise
Feel his long, fond kisses on my sugary lips
His tasty lips on my neck
Envelop me in his bold, macho smell
Press his warm, gorgeous flesh against mine

Make my head spin, render me powerless
Make me feel his wildness
Gander into his radiant, brandy brown eyes
My enticing eye candy
My radiant Samson

He has me hemmed in
By the magnificent
Luminescent sea of his dreaminess
Deep within the planet
Of his awe-inspiringly
Astonishing machoness

He eats me up like a sweet-tooth beast
Touches me tenderly
Has me feeling sensual
Being in his delectable presence
Makes me feel like
I’m living in a dream

His splashiness travels through me
Makes my heart beat faster
The way he takes control of me
Speaking lovingly
Plunges in my mental realm

Dominates me unhesitatingly
Amazes me like the daybreak’s brilliance
Like a fragrant lavender blossom
He has a wide array of engaging captivatingness
In his majestic treasure chest
That makes me feel boundless bliss

Lay on his brawny brown chest
Feel his smooth, masculine hands
On my lush, soft *******
Tell him how obsessed I am with him
That no other man can satisfy my needs but him
Travis Green Aug 2021
There is starlight power
Brightening profoundly in my eyes
Crystal-clear colors that make
My existence more lively
That refreshes my reality
With its heavenly vessel
Of bountiful bewitchment

I am imprisoned in the gleaming kingdoms
Of entrancing sensations.
Overly spellbound by the towering towns
I encounter when I walk
Across the broad, gorgeous boardwalk
Seeing the joyous sights
The marvelous, soaring songbirds
Hovering in the air
Staring straight at me
As I join them in a sing-along

I highly adore the even-temperedness
Traversing through this stately place
How when I gaze at the wondrous swans
Nearby the euphoric shore
I can see a blazing smile on their face
The way they inspiringly write
With such endless delight
Absorbing the glorious fulfillment
The refreshment infusing the landscape

The bibliophile’s sit in their beach chair
Greatly obsessed with the clean, dreamy books
Resting so impeccably in their hands
Taking in the magic of words on every page
Letting the stunning, brightly illuminated sun
Beam gently on their skin as the steady, silky breeze
Wings its way to embrace their pleasant space

I have never loved life more than I love it now
There’s limitless sparkle that lights up
The paradisaical scenery, the thumping great trees
That bursts into song with the ample azure seas
The fantastical, majestically made sailing boats close by
The hypnotizing refinement of rhymes
That takes my mind by surprise
As I allow myself to go with the flow of freedom

— The End —
