Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

The days drag on, each moment multiplies
Within my wounded heart the pain and sadness
Of an unhappy love and, dark, gives rise.
To sleepless dreams, the haunting dreams of madness
But I do not complain - instead, I weep;
Tears bring me solace, comforted they leave me.
My spirit, captive held by grief, a deep.
And bitter rapture finds in them, believe me.
Pass, life! Come, empty phantom, onward fly.
And in the silent void of darkness vanish.
Dear it to me my love's unending anguish;
If as I die I love, pray let me die.

'Come, try your skill, kind gentlemen,
A penny for three tries!'
Some threw and lost, some threw and won
A ten-a-penny prize.
She was a tawny gypsy girl,
A girl of twenty years,
I liked her for the lumps of gold
That jingled from her ears;
...
As twilight whispers secrets to the night,
You turn to me, seeking what feels right.
'Which life holds weight—yours or mine? '
'I choose my own, ' I answer, intertwined.
Yet in that truth, our souls embrace,
Your essence lingers, a lasting trace.
So if you wander, leaving doubt behind,
Remember, it's love that forever binds.
...
I've been leaning back and forth
For all that it was worth,
But it felt like I was going under;
Those voices in my head,
...
Het wonder van het stigma
dat in jezelf zal bloeden
als een doekje
voor je ziel!
...
You're the joy in me
The light that's scare away darkness
I'm afraid it's your day and I don't have much to show
I wonder if my love toward you will be enough
...
There I was, standing beside the street fearing for my life, without nothing to live for nor to exchange for my life.
Right before gun point, I saw myself fading away and once I was pointed, I imagined myself behind the gun, holding it against an innocent man.
...
I'd have said you were a tale, but we shared a moment together, as I would like to take you away far from home but I being poor, I'll take you to my dreams, you're the best lover ever.
I may not be that perfect but I wanna do right by you, whenever I'm with you it feels more like a holiday, my heart rejoices in many ways, as it accelerates than sun heat or storm, only if we could age like wines.
...
I just wanna put the biggest ring I could find
On one of your fingers
In exchange of my last name
And my words be the only form of comfort you get nor know
...
Death awaits to take me away and I won't be concern about life anymore, pain nor hunger at least! as it plays Chase with our life's. Our success as black forks is limited by credit debts and our minds end up being suicidal.!
So bad, products which are legalised by our government contribute to high crime rate and lives are cut short in exchange. Manufactured disease's been whipping black nation since it was intended to, as well as organised natural disasters claiming life's.

I haven't seen you in a minute
I truly miss you
It's like you're hiding from fun but you're not
This distance gets the best of me
...
I've not been good all along
And now I'm more afraid of the person am becoming
I've even lost my fears for everything
Like is that possible
...
Let's say it was about love
Wouldn't it be nice to hear my charming words
How about knowing my real love for you
And the craziest thoughts I have of you
...
An imagination limited within one's subconscious, with no harm but fear of change to oneself, wouldn't you be afraid of malignancy or unthinkable disaster that can ruin almost everything?
Imagine losing yourself into the system or losing everything that belongs to you over tossing a coin, how would you feel? Imagine having to live longer only in your nightmares.
...
Finally thinking about something
A friend which nothing will come in between
Whatever happens will get better with time
And have history than a textbook
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

(This is a composition in Pilipino Language the first one I did, the only one, and hope some of the Filipinos will get this funny poem in this site. The poem is updated with English translation)

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen

On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:

If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:

A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
