Air
Suchness seeps into just about anything
Lives are broken when they get older
Houses are burned and insurance gets higher
When will it go, will we ever sell her
Novelties take us to new worlds
Readers embark on perilous journeys
Hosts are emboldened by their leaders
The east is won, over are the tourneys
Bliss comes to the supreme one easily
We find ourselves in books we never knew quite before
Good is the sacredness of one’s heart
Swinging at the thin air, the wind becomes black gore
Societies have come upon many endeavors
Hunts are undertaken like never before
Underlings rage riots in the town squares
What are we truly searching for?
The meat is laid nice and square
Walking through the dark, we come upon mist
Spring into action, we see ourselves no more
We ride like there is no tomorrow,
Like how we take upon a gist
A Lesson
Happy are the bachelors at every peak of a mountain
No children to take care of, no one to carry on his line
People have fought for the world in many different spheres
From the moon there is an inkling of a holy day, there is a sign
For many have treaded the lands of times gone past
Blood have been drawn that was not brought unto justice
Savages pillage the country side in search of food, clothing, shelter and sex
Guided by our teachers, erroneously graded by their rubrics
Chimes rain down sound upon sound, noise is within the chaos
Order is brought about with untold patience and strength
But God has no bounds even if he is a prisoner or a slave
Out of my golden eye I pluck out the worn flints
Wearing shorts in the winter time
Colds are accumulated and there might be a cure
Viruses might lurk in every crevice
To know the truth, are we sure
Eels partake of every conversation
Demons reek of filth, no light reaches them
Listen to the wind, the honored one teaches
A Man of His Own Colors
The one to not listen, but the one to do
Falling to no gimmicks, releasing what needs to be,
Wild at anytime, I guess that is why women love him
Or why they hate him, secrets untold
But everything gets put on a black site
A mace in one hand, and a Bible in the other
Where have it took them, but to bitter worlds
How advanced is he, for he only knows the Earth
Too quick to come to conclusions, that is even said of his experiments
Angry at his own brother, so the story was told
Jealousy brings him down and the woman relish it
Where should he go, he knows no place but the Earth
For which he stands and grabs on himself
For where will it take him, but to his own grave
Where the God will show him who the He is
Above all and not comparable to anybody
Year by year, no one knows who he truly is but himself
The baby is not being paid attention to and the nation cries
Mother keeps repeating herself and sister won’t go away
Focus is what he tries to do and fear none but his own self
High above the clouds he cannot see, but there is something there
Inches from where he will die, he claims he is a man
Rough, tough, and a doer above all else
Hunter of dreams past and a tale for an ascendant
Brawler in the bars, healer of boys fears
He walks from street to street, but cannot find himself
Where will he go, but to damnation with everything he creates
Another Route
Luminosity flies me to a starting point
A jackal rides the shores like a boat riding the sand
Citizens rejoice over the deaths of notorious hijackers
Luck has took hold of me as I board the land
Where is a dime when there is a time of need?
Gold loosens up the pocket, we are now at ease
Planes hover in space as the time nears, we shall be at new war
The beginning of the ending is upon us, even if its
Its a million years from the east
Gods walk the earth as we speak, to be overcome
Overcome by the greatest of them all
The one true lion has parked his car, angels are dressed in casuals
The demons await their heirs, mother earth sheds new tears
The sun rains light as the beams are blasting you
Yearning is let loose in all eight corners of the universe
A verse so special, that we know almost nothing about
Hills block the oncoming soldiers, mothers still put on sackcloth
Eating dates as the waves pass, it is bound to be relief,
It is bound to be another route
A Poem For Mom
Your heart searches out those
The ones who try to hurt you
And run over the ones you love
Putting on a brand new shoe
Your heart is spacious
Always giving people a chance
And giving them their due
Grabbing the baby by the hands
Forever you will be
A heavenly being
Because you are saved
Not by the humans seeing
But by God's own eyes
Your love is sweet
But can be a thorn sometimes
Because you speak with authority
Which is so neat
You try your best to please
But sometimes people cannot
See through you
In these days what have God wrought
Today even though you're in pain
God have blessed you
With many more years to come
That no one can count like a fool
You have had many dog days
Where you are met with problems
The sun is always shinning in your life
You are also met with blossoms
The smile on your face was amazing today
I'm glad you felt better
I'm always glad about that
Even though my eyes don't get wetter
I wish we could spend more time with you
You are the most precious thing in my life boo
Apology to Mother
Dear Momma,
My teacher during times of want
And my instructor to show me the family way
You made me see what I did not
And made me hear
What I would not have heard
Even though I was not always obedient
Please forgive me
An apology for the woman
The woman I will always love
No matter what
Through all situations
Even if I do not agree with you
Never give up with us mother
If you do you may regret it in the future
You have taught us so much
So much through the years
Even wh
en I was not always there
Again please forgive me for that
Be
Toddlers awaken several times
The days are too short to count
Money makes no sense even today
Food I eat by the ounce
Valleys are conquered at night
Beasts gnaw at every human
As the demons leave no peace
But that which is due by God
The king knows not how to run his country
Nerds bring hope within their gibberish
Eels are eating my friends’ souls
Make amends to the dead as I relish
Cunning realities stalk at our borders
Memories tire out so many times
Games leave us with no choice
With the wind we hear chimes
Domes are for protection
Space we will colonize
Aliens will war with us
A major task realized
Beacon of Hope
Where shall I go?
Not forever wandering on the shore
Fickle as a hair in the wind
Spotty as a cow being led to slaughter
Where shall I go?
Quick at the zenith of time
Death is but a step away
Viscosity as of jelly
Where shall I go?
And not be known?
Feet caked with grime
Basking next to Jupiter
Calling the Moon
Oh moon, come
Shed light on me
Watch over where
I’m at and from
Let me forever see
Time ticks by your command
Waters change as you deem
Watching your course as I,
Tread the sand
It will never be as it seems
Generations of the likeness of God
Come and go
Knowing not what you have to say
All just go with the flow
But I shall forever follow your way
Changes
We succumb to humor when it approaches
Honor stalks us in its wake, space has outdone itself
Reels are turning, never to let a moment pass
Which is better, being rich or a person with wealth?
Change has come from many different angles
The chances are overrun, mom has given the say so
Unicorns have been said to be discovered
Digging in the dirt, cleaning the hoe
Moments come and go as we pass through life
Fog beats down upon us, we never look back
Time is never on our side, tears pour from faces
The bread was good, put it back in the sack
Oh how shall we overcome these engrossing times?
Cleanliness leads one to inner riches, the spirit is of prime importance
Rats lurk in every corner, now they are no more
Willing to be on with our business, but always waiting
With a sign of reluctance
Tilling comes by way of majestic ends, the soot comes to
Its sense in life
Poor or no, we make ourselves whom we are
Yelping at a postman, nowadays a dog has no respect
If nobody will write, whatever happened to the bards?
Eternity
Telling folks that life is such a downhill
Growing up, people don’t know what to think
As they get older though, it don’t appear
As a wink of the eye
Usury gets played out like an eye that blinks
Mother is over by the way shore
Numbers are played by the smart
Kindness comes from the soul
Sweetness is tasty to the tongue as I eat tarts
Letters bounce off the page
Colors change in the sunlight
Flowers come and go away
The right and left always fight
Spirits come from a nether region
The mind rules all things on earth
But when will it step up from just reigning
Gloves take us to another level
Presidents do not rule, nor reign
The parliament is for all of that
Philosophy bounces back and forth
Civics leaves us with a sense of nationality
When it all comes down to it, what is this universe worth
Undertake the route to justice
Leaving our loved ones at the store
Knowledge takes a hold on humans
I raise my inner light as I walk by the shore
Feel the Heat
Seeking joy in this world
Is like making food for a
Splendid dinner
The world turns and life is sweet
Are there truly any sinners
Ask the rhino from whence it came
Holes will be plundered, houses
Pillaged by robbers
Fallen by the sea, answer no questions
The inner sanctum is like a flower
Knowledge is heard far and wide
But only tad-bits of this or that
Deal in equity is what we brought
Monkeys learn, while wheat is swelling
And fat
Fighting
Is it really necessary?
When it does not even solve problems?
It leads us towards the sun
Our burning hand never quenching
Only when the sun goes
Billions of years from now
Friendships are broken
Jealousy is like a fly
Win some, lose some
Actually you win none
Life is not about losing
But about gaining something
Gaining productive and wise ends
Quit your basking in glory
And aptly contemplate my jewel
When there is something
Someone that could’ve helped is lost
A talent has ceased from your control
Future Runs Far
Gangs of friends walk down the street
A life of sorts for the evil and aggressive
Sidewalks in the south are not popular
This period has changed, it has become regressive
Western values have become prized
Not without taking bits and pieces from
Here and there
Writers gain a touch of their inner selves
We gripe and brag, but we were taught
Not to swear
Rest has become only for the elderly
The east do not neglect their seniors
Sacred books get lost in translation
Squirming as we listen to Henry
Volts are thrown down upon us
Where are we to run, where are we
To hide
Huge forces come upon us from our
Borders
Are we getting near it, will there be a
Day we shall cry
Ha, the Dark Woman
Behind the picture
Within the video
A reflection unseen
The letters that only God knows
The message in the Bible
The hint of the voice
The river in the ocean
Underground tunnels
Heaven somewhere
Hidden beneath it all
Hopeless
How did we come to this?
Shaken from the ledge
Searching for the way out
Basic days get too bored
Walking gets no better
Money goes down the drain
Whom should we count on?
Wars are taking lives
And the unknown people get
The best of us
What are we to do?
Who to run to?
God is foreve
r watching
Angels keep forces at bay
But where is the way
Mind over matter comes
For us way too late
Some people give no respect
We try our best to cope
Honor is a book of its own
The Art of Time
Lies within all of us
But who can get in our way
Humans
Fine is the one who expresses himself
Women don’t have to talk, men should
Do it for them
Wine leaves us sparkling, nine sisters
Are watching over us
Inner pride is where we all win
Tomorrow nothing happens
We were waiting for something spectacular
But he was not there, sides have changed
All in all, we feast like Dracula
Why should there only be four or five elements
Have we seen from what this universe is made?
High is the sky, we don’t have time to look down
Going through introspection when we’re bathing in the shade
Understanding many things as time goes by
Forgetting only a small portion, you don’t depend
On another person
Relics are stolen from a range of spaces, remember that
Running down the aisle, just like her son
Inequity
The Alps are basking underneath the silver moon
Wolves are howling, bears are awake ready for daylight
Snakes wonder here and there, are they ever encroaching?
And the day comes and proceeds, the moon starts
To recede and take flight
The kings has once said, a wise man rules his kingdom
With the companionship of wisdom
By his side, no one is to escape, there is none to ever know
Fickle is the frost that descends from on high
Wheat tends to fill, water goes with the flow
The lands are teeming with life of such
Rain pours down from the beacon it once was laid upon
Some have a matter of two, many have a matter of one
Tell her she is all well, the man down the street he shuns
Whooping goes on in flames, bats take upon the reign
History has done its course, science produces a bias
That was not there
Outings are not a thing of the past, they come and
Go as means permits
Not equal are the lower animals, these people do not share
Jack of All Trades
Tip the special deliverer
Tie the knot forever
Return to the roots
Seek but never find
Its over our heads
