The very thing that makes me human seems to make me weak,
or is it a strength so hidden and buried deep that it is frequently mistaken for weak.

She, I, and You
She broke your heart and now she treats you ver cruel.
I'm the one that always has and always will.
I'm the one that will cook you warm meals.
She's making your life a living hell!
She's the one that broke your heart like an egg shell.
I remember she broke up with you and you wanted to kill your self.
I remember when she broke your heart I picked up every single piece and told you everything was going to be ok.

I'd Rather
We value these things very much
Thinking that we'll be good as dead
If we'll lose at least one of them
But if having these eyes
Means that I have to see all the cruelty in this world arise
Then I'd rather lose my sight
And live everyday as if it's a night
If having these ears
Means that I have to hear all te bad words
That people are throwing at each other
Then I'd rather be deaf and hear nothing but laught… Continue

Back To Basics.
I didn't do anything but write a poem or two,
Just dashing off when I saw you together,
She loves you and you love her too,
But you love me and I love you.
I won't say we belong together,
But we've been through stormy weather,
I won't promise everything is alright,
But something about you holding me all night,
Just continues to feel so right.
I can't believe there's even a contest,
Over who controls your heart best,

cCOME TALK WITH ME
As no one listens to me,
We are sailing the same boat
The oars are a single pair
Sometimes you’ll row
I'll take over
Whenever
But don’t ask me to row,
As I will be busy talking all alone,
Your ears would be listening,
As you shall be rowing,
So come and talk to me.
Are you listening?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL PISCEANS WORLDS FISH
Please do remember me all my friends,
I am the one, who a poetic greeting does send,
So how can you not remember every Piscean?
Can you deny me my rightful place?
All I want in return my dear-fish,
Ever in your hearts’ a loving dish,
Never to be forgotten, till an Hbyday I wish.

In The Midst
In the midst of friends,
Fans,
As well as foes,
In my absence
I see many have added on
And in my work
Love they do repose
Its poetic love,
I do really suppose.
I am in the midst
Of a viral infection,
As someone has said
Glad not of my lap,
Perhaps throat too,
It’s only some nasty guy
Playing foul
With my laptop
My only love so true
I have observed
During my brief break
Many hearts make
Many more do break,
But those who love sincerely
Never part
So be by guest tonight
Once again
A… Continue

me without you is like...
like... a flower that never blooms
like... a puzzle with missing pieces
like... a bird that can't fly
like... a poem that dont rhyme
you is unique
me was tailor made just for you
so me without you is like
trying to separate oil and water
like... a song never heard
like... an angel without wings
like... a direction less violent wind
tamed hearts of wild men
submissiveness in independent women
the things we do for love
me without you is

Your stuck in my head
Sitting in math class,
daydreaming free,
reminising on days past, waiting for the bell to ring.
your always on my mind,
i wonder is that bad?
You're so beyond kind and yet you seem so sad.
Maybe your hiding something inside,
or your happiness hides.
Sitting in math class falling asleep,
with your voice in my head,
mmmm what a treat.
Your gorgeous brown hair,
and your breathtaking eyes.

Trust
You don't know what you're saying.
This feeling you speak of is foreign.
You feel as if your life is fraying.
Don't back away or run from it.
Stand your ground and be strong.
Open your eyes and see it for real.
You've been blinded for so long.
Without this you will shrivel.
You'll never reach the highest peak.
Forever you'll have questions.
Time will only make you weak.

Motion Freakness
Don’t look, don’t stare
A discriminating syndicate
Putting pressure on spare
Who cares more?
When I ain’t even
Still a deep digging
Creating craters within
Keep your mouth shut
You don’t have something to say
Words are just letter prints
A blank monitor display
Never brag a single step
If it’s a misstep in a wrong play
Reverse ideology showing
Who of us described with dismay?
Dont think of stretching that arm
Not even extending that finger
You might end up facing yourself… Continue

A poem, or a song... or something...
And I know it's not like you, to do the things you do.
Each day it gets harder, to remember who you are. And
Everyday you act like this, I forget that I love you.
If ever you rediscover, the person you used to be, then
Please, oh please, just call me. I'd really like to see.
The way you walked out, well, it really shook my heart.
How you didn't even look back, that just tore me apart.
I loved you then and probably now. How can you be like… Continue
