Eye Of The Storm
In the eye of the storm
where the rain clouds let up
past to my back
hope the future clears up
Praying for better days
keep it real in better ways
hope calm weather stays
Future in my eyes
a life when no one dies
and great mind collides
you got to love these time
where the grand ma and grand child sits
and everybody eats
as they reminisces
on the good old days

No Regrets
I don't have many fears
and god knows it been a while
since I've shared any tears
pain don't really border me
as emotions i choose not to show any
life's been a roller coaster
it has its ups and downs
i have fallen to much times to
ever stay down
so as i lay my head to rest
god knows all through out the day
i gave my best
so if i die may in your hands my soul rest

Whiles You Sleep
Cold water in hand
as i watch you sleep
peaceful and beat
weary and tired
yet this overwhelming sensation
over come me as i grip the jug
tightly oh i feel something
so devilish in me
i just wanna see how you react
as i lay back starring in to
your wide vastly gazed out eyes wandering
if am part of your dream
with cold water in hand
laughing like a maniac
hahaha

Welcome September
Wide awake i stare
on while the sea and the sun
tango as they give light
to a new day
Weary i open these eyes
as i embrace the warming sun
of a new day
August gave birth to September
and brought reminiscent of the last month
and gave way to new experiences
so eyes closed in faith i take
the time to thank my lord
for the light of a new day
and the breath of a new time

Just Me And My Thoughts
i thought they would last
friends forever they said
now they are all dead
so it just us again
withered and old
so my friend how
have you manage to stay young
15 yrs down the line
just us remain
i knew we were close
but never this close
you cried when i fell
i picked you up when u fell
we were there for each other
closer than most brothers
our heart bleed together
untouchable duo

Its Time
this body has done it time
cause i swear it no longer mine
i feel like a shattered mirror
a lost soul
for days i have fought for
survival for years i have lived
not knowing why
but i move on
slavery is long over
but why do i feel like
a prisoner to my own self
i strive for what i own
and pray for love
so when i bow my head
have mercy on me father
and guide my actions
from above

A Mother's Poem
an eternity of wait
and you held on and stay
strong till this very date
through the pain misery
and anguish, through the
torment and suffering
you stayed strong and
held on
finally my birth date
you gave me this world
all i had to do was grab
with open arms
cause of you mother i am here
and though none i do can
match what you did for me
i can show you i appreciated
your sacrifices

Sleepy Eyez
Oh sweet little eyes
peeking under the sheets
so tired and weary
why wont you sleep
close your eyes
and look beyond the sun rise
till the next day
beyond the new light
you'll open your eyes
as they shine so bright
till a new day where you're
awake and lively,
to spend a new day
with friends and family
so weary eyes i say lay
your head to rest
so the next day you can be
be at your best

Words of Our Love
How can i allow
words to express how i feel
when word of my love
cant even be spoken
I lay awake late night
only because you're on my mind
I remember your love, your kiss
and your warm lips as i wait
to see and hear from you again
I put into writing my feelings
for you and still have a million to say
all because it's so hard to express them
I guess what am trying to say is
I LOVE YOU

When Hope Ends
the nights young and the clouds gone
time stays still as i move along
a thought of you goes by
as i simple try to say hi
laughter and joy brings another smile
tears come when we got to say bye
nothing last forever but yet still we lie
just so we can see and other day go by
rain comes when the droughts done
just to end all our fun
and when all hope ends
we start to see all our true friends
