My heaven is in your arms, their pleasure resides;
My guardian angel is your smile; your laughter protects me.
You hold me in a place of refuge; I am shielded from the unwanted.
Your eyes are the mirrors for my soul, through them, I learn my purpose.
In your presence, I am reminded a fantasy.
Each blink teleports me to reality,
For I am without you.
A moment without your presence is a...
THE PIT
Fallen down deep into a pit of despair,
Gasping at breaths but purchasing no air.
Once free to roam without any cares,
Now just a creature in an inextricable snare.
What can the purpose of this life be?
Fighting battles in darkness no one can see.
The enemies are vast, fearless and bold
There’s silence and sadness here in this cold.
The warm...
Dying To Meet You
Through the circumstances
Of predicaments we meet
Blindly over distance…
Though chains that bind
This caged bird physical
Gives his Olympian spirit
No resistance…
Fashioned from the weight
Of the world heavy enough to
Birth and crush diamonds…
Like the phoenix I still arise
Before your eyes from ashes to flames
Across the horizon.
...
If these scars could talk,
What would my wounds say?
Would they speak of pain,
Endured along the way?
Of broken hearts left in my wake,
Of tears, prayers went up in vain?
If these cars could talk,
The monologue would be of sorrow!
Mistakes of yesterday,
And the uncertainty of tomorrow!
Would they explain how they were inflicted?
Each one painting its own individual picture?...
ARE YOU LISTENING?
I have been lonely;
Locked away inside my cell,
I was so alone;
Then came, one day, love –
Entering my cell and heart,
Awakening me,
Bittersweet the change
Within me, my heart alive
Yet in agony,
Are you listening?
Seeing this computer screen?
Are you there at all?
I’m sending this out
A message in a...
The wind whistles wonderful melodies
Melodious and dulcet
Who knew that the air up there
Could sound so beautifully
I gaze at the beautiful night sky
And espy
A beautiful bright star that’s
One in a million
In the firmament full of stars
With diverse dispositions, appearance, and brilliance
That brilliantly appear right before my eyes
And I knew that...
The strain and pain she has that look on her face-I reach to touch and smooth out her hair, but she doesn’t’ know I’m there.
That far away look she stares into space, what is she seeing-I reach to bring her back from that terrible place.
She looks at me, but I’m sure she is not seeing me-for her eyes pass right through me.
She speaks and often times shouts, staring into space, screaming at the air-who is...
Magnum Opus
Some nights I just sleep…
I sleep dreamless at times but…
When I do dream?...
I dream of Ancient Egypt. I dream of
My beautiful Queens and Kings in chambers
Surrounded by animals of different sorts.
I can smell frankincense and myrrh…
I feel sandstone beneath my feet…
I observe…as a child of the Goddess all the
Marvels of a...
Hope
Hope was no longer in existence.
Hope, I so admittedly resisted.
Hope, I never expected to find.
Hope, I left so very far behind.
Hope, with all its godforsaken lies.
Hope, a part of me inside always cries.
Hope fills my being with her light from above.
Hope, a new outlook have I been given.
Hope, through her have I been forgiven.
Hope, again shall she not be lost...
A WAYWARD SAILOR
All is lost though it seems,
Without my compass it’s just dreams.
A wayward sailor, that I am,
With no lighthouse I’m on the lam.
The waves crash over against my hull,
Which forces me to take hold and mull.
I fasten the lines and batten down,
Praying with all my might not to drown.
A strong...
“Helpless”
It happens, time and time again-you know theme where
they walk in.
They have that look that says – “they know they’ve made a life
mistake-getting sent out this place” – especially because
of their race
At first they will try to act tough but acting is not enough.
Besides the eyes don’t lie.
The fear shows and the predators...
My Confession
It’s time I open up, there’s no reason to hide
My pain runs deep because I’m hurting inside
Growing up I thought it was normal to be broke
But that didn’t stop my mom from doing dope
If she couldn’t get it then my butt she’d beat
I was 12 years old, she put me out on the street
I turned into a thief, “Why” you’ll see
Thinking if I support her habit, she’d love me
Over time...
Gangsta’s Cry
Under the moonlight of this dark and lonely night,
I can hear the sounds of a gangsta’s cry.
He’s tossing and turning, reminiscing on some painful memories,
Some that he’s blocked out for so long.
On this night he can’t help it and takes a stroll down memory lane,
Soon these memories become more than he can bear.
He tries hard to block then out but he can’t.
They...
“Half Dead”
At night’s I can’t sleep, and I know why. November 1, 2012 was the day that I died. The feeling of being dead is Fxxxxed Up, and it’s all in my mind, so much that I get chills down my spine. So what am I to do? Accept it, or try not to forget about my loved ones, and the ones that have died. It’s hard for me to accept it, so every day I try to feel like somehow I’m still alive, but there is no...
אילת השחר
(“Morningstar or Deer of the Dawn”)
Who would you be, if I knew who you were?
That YHWH must come first in your heart, that much is sure;
faithful and loving, that my heart be secure.
A warrior, a princess, and fearless in faith,
with wisdom and insight... trusting husband in the gates.
For the road that I walk is a hard one to bear,
the greatest of prices - you must be...
Pokémon Sunshine and Digimon Daydream
The relics of my youth
CD player, Cable TV and a Playstation 2
I was a hero, A villain too
Even a giant robot from time to time
Cathartic moments and turbulent times
Most of my day spent inside
Hours spent grinding, searching for gear
Binge watching a new show
Oh how I miss those careless days
When my biggest problem was...
Passion For Art
It begins in the mind as a seed planted in soil,
Scenes that form from the colors of imagination,
Taking shape within the soul to boil,
Each object pieced together from fragmentation.
The picture is drawn out of shapes to lay a foundation,
The paint diluted with water to flow on paper,
Each stroke of the brush brings a picture to fruition,
Every detail laid down with a fine...
“The Journey of Life”
It twists and turns
With mountains to climb
And fires that burn
Shaped at a young age
So vulnerable and pure
Life at full speed
Is how we must learn
The good times and bad
Is a part of it all
When climbing a mountain
Sometimes you will fall
With each step we take
Comes pleasure and pain...
These eyes have seen the worst of life and a little of the best. I’ll always be who I am.
These eyes have seen gang wars that ended with people dying in the street, for what reason we’d taken another man’s life.
These eyes have seen broken homes and shattered dreams due to habitual drug use. Mom or Dad getting high is not an excuse.
These eyes have seen prison cells from the inside looking out, vowing never to return, but...
Lost in the dark I trip over bones
I follow the shadows and I talk to the stones
The chatter of teeth and the rustle of leaves
The wind whispers Annabelle Leah
glawing graceful She appears to me
A fey Queen named Annabelle Leah
Come Wonderer Come and See
She held out her arms My Annabelle Leah
The water is warm and the kisses are free
Come to me your Annabelle Leah
With...
BACK TO THE SAME OLD ME (POEM)
Sitting in my cell, confused and broken-hearted,
Thinking how I got here and how this all started.
This will be the deepest thing that I ever wrote,
Small steps into giant, that’s my favorite quote.
They say a champion is born everyday,
If that’s true then I was born yesterday.
I know I can never change the past
But it won’...
Her Imaginary Friend….
A little girl named Emily and her imaginary friend,
hand and hand they walk to the bus stop,
Laughing and playing like they always do….
Emily said catch me if you can
and ran away so quickly looked like she flew..
You couldn’t even see her shoes
her feet were moving so fast….
But you could see her little pink...
Take your time with love
It’s complicated, hard, crazy, and chaotic.
It can destroy you or transform you.
It can bind you or set you free.
Fairytales can happen, but nightmares still exist
Price charming could be waiting
So don’t throw down the list
Love is to be valued, cherished,
And held above anything else.
But, don’t let love lose...
Believe In You
These are lyrics from a country song I’ve written. I hope that it inspires you to surmount any obstacle you might encounter. Belief in yourself and your higher power is the key. Whether it be God, Allah, Buddha or the devil – just believe! Remember: family and friends believe in you; children need and are counting on you – whether it be your kids, or kids of family and friends. Be strong for them...
Time of the essence is a blessing
Once you know how to decipher time, use it at your own discretion
A lot of times I'm wondering, guessing, searching for my own protection
Not from physical harm, but my mental connections
To reach out to a stranger as if he's my own
Keep him from harm, show affection
‘Cause we don't even know the magnificence of life
Always trying to live for the hype…....
How’s a man supposed to feel when the police take his freedom.
Then he’s forced to watch as his woman slowly leaves him,
Her family and her friends telling her she doesn’t need him.
Leading to a phone call where she claims she’s lost all feeling,
Tears in his eyes as he begs her for forgiveness.
Pleading for another chance to show her the true meaning
Of what it means to be loved for who you truly are....
All my life I've been different, average Joes scatter
Out my way,
Blasé my own path through the dark, creative spark,
Light my way.
Not a worshipper of money, probably why I couldn’t keep
Her, I'm not trippin’, it’s her loss ‘cause I
Know there’s something deeper.
I held her in my arms, thought she’d always be mine
Even scattered scarlet petals on her bed, not just
For...
Fly Together
By: GRRGACHE
Baby don’t you worry
Every thing will be alright
Jus hold tight by my side
Together we’ll fly high
Above the mountain skies
Over oceans and around the world a thousand times –
Baby don’t you worry
Every thing will be alright
Jus hold tight by my side
Together we’ll fly high
Above the mountain skies
Over oceans and around the world a...
The Age of Confusion
Through the ideological darkness of a world gone mad,
Simple concepts upended, their meanings a fad.
While the sun as our compass, is dethroned from the sky,
Dark lamps guide into trespass, the blind wonder why.
When tolerance, the only virtue, unpunished and unblamed,
The man with no principles, alone escapes unshamed.
They rail at the Nation, in earth and in sky,
Scream...
“Today I touch base with a friend, hoping she can hear me”
Tomorrow I wait for the day I touchdown, and she meets the real me
True men do exist, yet they’re hard to find
Someone with the Heart of Gold, so real, so kind
Everyone has flaws and imperfections, no one is perfect
But when we learn to see through the physical, we are perfectly imperfect
In our own ways we share our minds with others...
