WHAT I SEE WHEN I LOOK AT MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER
WHAT I SEE WHEN I LOOK AT MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER
Lost in a wicked life. Where everyone thinks your wicked.A dum mistake with wicked persons lands you in a wicked place. Iam not a wicked person.God please release this wicked image of me. Take me out of this wicked place so I can start my new life
I have gone to Honey Creek To cast my line once more. A tranquil place where cattail reeds Grow thick along the shore. I cuff my pants up to my knees And wade into the water Surrounded by some honeybees Tending Nature's daughters. I take in hand my fishing rod And give a gentle throw, Then offer up my thanks to God For all the things that grow: Grass and ferns and reeds and tress And fish and birds and mice and bees And all the things that move and live In harmony at Honey Creek.
"Forever Yours"
“Side by side, hand in hand,
Down one day, but up the next,
And no matter how long the road,
Or how hard the walk is,
One thing is for sure,
We will get through this together,
Because I might be here for now,
But I’m yours forever”

Hello my name is moysies, I’m new to this website so I’m not too familiar with it but I am interested in seeking new friends with this positive energy. This is not a job interview so don’t be shy to talk to me, I am an easy going, charismatic, lovable, honest person. I am a father of two beautiful girls so shout out to all single moms doing it on their own. You don’t have to be perfect to be my friend as long as you have a good sense of humor we’ll get along just fine. If you would like to get to know me feel free. All I ask is if you can leave a number and address thanks.
There’s food on the table, she ain’t gon go to sleep hungry like I did, not as long as I’m able. Be Still! Son listen to me and Be Still! I can’t, I gotta get it for her, but the whole time I’m risking taking time away from her. Allah kept telling me to be still, I didn’t listen now here all I can do is be still. I can be your listening ear, your shoulder to cry on, your partner in Christ, or simply just a friend. Please don’t let my past define me, take a chance on me and I’ll bet on you.
I sit here, not knowing if it's right
Not knowing where I'll go next
I'm here and I'm alone
I'm in a cell with unlocked doors
Will anyone come in?
Will you share some time with me?
My doors are unlocked for you
Anyone can come in and keep me company
My doors are unlocked for anyone
That's anyone - can anyone be you?
Prison Imagine trying to find a place of serenity in an environment filled with chaos and havoc.
It’s a dark setting where desires try to hold you back from ridding your destructive habits.
You’re surrounded by hundreds of people but still can’t shake the feeling of lonesome.
You start to feel invisible and people you held close begin to make you seem unreachable.
The streets were an illusion that had us blinded. When we sit and look back we start wishing we could rewind it.

Life is time
But time is an illusion...
If you're lucky
I will write you the rest
“An Open Door”
Don’t shy away from an open door.
Through caution to the wind and explore
Wanna get away baby? You know that I’ll be here,
When you’re in my arms you don’t gotta have no fear,
Let me protect you the rest of my years,
I really mean it, I love you my dear.
I left the streets cause I’d rather lay with you,
You are the one, the one I can’t lose,
I came to realize that I’m better off with you,
It took me awhile, had to understand I can’t always play it tough and I gotta smile,
I was hurt and traumatized, I got caught up in that life,
Had to cut some people off, trying to move onto better things.
I’m in the prison walls, music’s gone no applause,
So where’s everybody at that says they got me tho?
I’m sittin’ on my bunk contemplate about it all,
Does anybody even think about me anymore?
Everything I ever loved is gone, never even got to go to prom,
Tell me how I’m supposed to do right when all I ever know was wrong?
Were am I supposed to go from here, cause I don’t really know,
Parole to family? They must have all been mad at me cause I
Haven’t heard from anyone in years.
Out the window the stars shine bright,
Through these bars I pray every night,
To heavens and spirits to send my light,
That’ll spiral and twinkle like the stars at night.
I wannabe loved without force
Playing my part as your King
Enjoying every moment with my Queen
Providing her with my loyalty
Expecting to be appreciated for every moment spent together
My love will be on auto-pilot
As we walk into our situation willingly
Knowing what we have is real
Demonstrating a love that will never fickle away
I wannabe loved is that okay!!!
“Just Me”
I learned that who doesn’t look for you
Doesn’t miss you and who doesn’t miss you
Doesn’t care for you…that destiny determines
Who enters your life but you decide who stays
…That the truth hurts only once and a
Lie every time you remember it.
There are three things in life that
Leave and never return: words, time and
Opportunities…Therefore, value whoever
Values you and don’t treat as a priority
Whoever treats you as an option.
STUCK
How long shall I walk around blindly
in darkness hitting my head
stumbling, tripping, bumping into walls
felling for an exit that doesn't exist.
Trapped in detours, smoke screens, and illusions
wasting time, while time keeps moving
steady into the future,
left in the past is me.
Wanting out
but I'm stuck within.
Fantasy Eyes
Dreaming of you!
As I lay in my bed waiting for this time of waiting to be over, I dream of you.
I dream of the day I can be with you each and every day.
I dream of a life we will have together whoever that special someone will be…. every day with you will be a gift.
I dream of putting a smile on your face and seeing the happiness in your eyes, knowing I put it there.
I'll know when I'm with that special person, the one who will make life everything we dream it will be.
Inhale the beach
and see me there
with you, as I do,
just after the glow
is shuttered and
the finishing touches
are put on the day.
Last night you wore
a blue sundress—only.
Trailing you, following
with my eyes the
disruptions in the sand,
as it called after your feet.
The moon shone
on your calves, stopping
just at the knee
where cotton danced
a wicked tease,
and clung to you,
DEEP WITHIN
As I listen to the ocean waves pound against the rocks, all in one beat the same as my heart, but not to finish before the start or start before the end for my love for you is deep and overflowing within, as I touch your skin and you touch mine, can you read the thoughts that’s in my mind, but this is not about sex or bedroom pleasures, it’s about you and I growing old together.
Poem by: Michael Hayes
My happiness and love is boundless and timeless
My time here is long but harsh and short,
My soul oozing with authentic and
greatness, my environment breed dread
and hate is miserable here.
I want to walk barefooted in grass and
smell the ocean salt in the air and listen
to kind chirps I drink from the cup of
positiveness, but I taste nothing but
negativity, thoughts of creativity roam
in my mind, but I'm trap in a field
of broken dreams, hope seem if it's a
Tell me What You Think!
Tell me if you think….
You could win a war without a battle
could ride a horse without a saddle
or row a boat without a paddle.
Tell me if you think….
You fall in love just cause the sex
or that you cheat just cause your ex
treat people bad just 'cause you're blessed.
Tell me if you think…..
We should stop judging, it's a must
and should stop fussing over drugs
and stop lusting over love.
Tell me if you think….
Being a felon makes you a bad man.
Wander blind away from
Thebes, where guilt
breaks. It is there
where hearts refuge
& understanding deepens
in the darkness
That chokes the infinite
mind. Do not
despair here over the
begging grip of
the betrayed & innocent
who desperately hold
Fragments of squalid decay.
They are ambivalent ghosts
pressing with violence
on paths made
for treading softly.

All We Left With
By Artem Vaskanyan
We all know that life can end at any moment,
Even though we often ignore this fact;
But when someone close to us encounters death
Then we begin to acknowledge
That death is closer than we thought it was.
None of our possessions,
Nor our loved ones
Can come with us;
And our bodies, no matter how strong
And beautiful they are,
No longer good to us.
My Energy, Life, Inspiration, Satisfaction, Aaaah
All my life family and friends
Tried to change me,
While at the same time
Telling me that they love me;
But, if they truly love me
Then why do they try so hard
To change the way I am?
For if they truly love me,
Then they would’ve accepted me,
The way I am;
If people can’t love me
For the way I am,
Then they don’t really love,
They only think they do;
And they only do, because they’ve been told
All of their lives,
“To love who is close to you;”
“Love is pain but there’s nothing better.”
Sometimes I hate going to sleep because I have dreams of being free, then I wake up locked in a box and it gets hard to breathe.
Then the walls start closing in and it gets hard to see.
Then my shadow feels like it's talking back then it's hard to think.
I know it may sound crazy to you but that's the norm for me.
Formally that’s the aggression that meets the depression.
I make 25 cents an hour in here, every year is a recession.
The book of my memories, is full to the brim, of hopes, dreams, plans that just might have been. The pages are yellowed, they're covered with dust, not many have seen it, so few do I trust.
I keep it up high, right out on the shelf, in view of all eyes, yes even myself. Here I sit now, doing nothing but time, wondering whatever happened, to the life that was mine.
