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;
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
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 most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Oh, it was a merry, gladsome day,
When the April Fool met the Queen of May;
She had roguish eyes and golden hair,
And they were a mischief-making pair.
They planned the funniest kind of a joke
On the poor, long-suffering mortal folk;
And a few mysterious words he said,
His fool's cap close to her flower-crowned head.
Then he laughed till he made his cap-bells ring,
At the thought of the topsy-turvy Spring.
''Tis a fair exchange,' he said, with a wink--
'It is!' she said, and what do you think?
The flowers that should bloom in the month of May
Every one of them came on an April day!
And they looked for April showers in vain,
But all through May it did nothing but rain!

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide
or press an ear against its hive.
I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
...
Thy summer is passing.
The darling honeybee has charged
Womb of mine with pollen.
What do press thou, and shines shy sensuality?
The dark floating pillows of envy, still and all,
Under the spell of silver linings!
Stops gaming hide-and-seek. In lieu,
Swollen thine orange orb up, so to
Split the threadbare jaundiced overcast.
Not thou be a modest wolf! In lieu,
...
The endless night has finally passed away,
The heavy shadows fade into the dark,
A soft, pale morning greets the brand new day,
And wakes the sleeping field and quiet park.

What is wrong with me? Is it something i sayed or something I do or dont do? I can't be losing my mind...you had one that was enough but now theirs 2 more...REALLY...im starting to think maybe I pushed you to do this, I don't know it feels like it was my doing but then again, another part of me thinks 'No, baby girl it wasn't you...its just his ego'.. he hasn't had enough yet you've told him he wasn't ready yet he denied that and said he was...because in his words your his world, but if that's true why would you hide your phone and delete messages as if you know or you knew I may or may not go through it.
If I ever go through it, it will only be because I felt you weren't being completely honest with me...and I can honestly say I've felt that way recently...ive felt that you would step out on me in this relationship and if I were to do it you wouldn't be able to take it. Crazy how that works it's like saying it's ok to hurt the one you love secretly and unknowingly to her but she isn't allowed to hurt you in any type of way...but im starting to see that 'Hurt people really do hurt people'.
I know your hurt, life's been planting your face in the dirt and levaing you with bruises and other scars you can't erase or let go..you hold on to it because it's what your use to, so you look for it to happen again and again and again til you can't take it anymore your only way out is to run and hurt others. It's not fair...you gained my heart, body, and mind you dont see that I've placed my heart on your sleeve and you've already been chipping at it, those small pieces hurt more than you know and im so afraid to feel the pain when you actually break it.
I told you I feared a broken heart because I know it's going to change me and I'm not trying to change but maybe I need too. I told you I didn't like titles and that it was a reason why I had been alone for so long yet you looked over it. Maybe you remember it, maybe you don't, but you're starting to hurt my heart in ways that I was trying to avoid and it's not fair now, if I have to do what I gotta do to get even so that you feel what I feel, then I will, but the thing is, I don't want to hurt you. I don't ever want to do anything to hurt you and even though all this is going on. Like I said before, I still f****** love you so f****** much. And that now im questioning my sanity and if i'm really being honest with myself, I used to think if I get with him, will he do with me, what he did with her will you step out on our relationship and hurt my heart? I know I found myself.Thank you, and I am crazy for loving this man crying in a result, often waking up on a wet pillow with tears, he never knew I cried..... I guess we'll find out how this will all go

She was Mrs. ‘Wheyrey'
She had no husband, only a band
She would bind her waist and wrist with ugly and stinking items
Her posture was incomplete without a scary stand

Emerald, green vintage car.
a mysterious blue man is driving.
an exotic leather seat made with python snakeskin.
I see the pink woman.

Lively Joy embrace:
Let not sorrow near you come:
Beauty always seek.

With strands of yesterday, selected colors weave a new garment
Short and long threads of the past are interlaced into today's robe
Some in tweed of varying colors, twill, satin with plaid and paisley patterns
Threads of broken dreams woven from fragments of stretched memories, form a cloak for the eye
...
Whispers in the trees
Telling me you are still there
Guiding me through life

...GO FUCK HER..before you fix your mouth to say anything think long and hard about if weather or not you really wanna lie to me or tell me truthfully that you do. I know that you do but I also know you dont want or didn't want however you want to put it me to know that you do. Ive known you wanted her since b4 we started talking your conversations reminded me too much of us but like I was at one point she is also dealing with someone...but she got HER own spot I didn't at the time but I kno thats not gone stop you im not married to you yet i dont even know if we still engaged but b4 you deside if wit me in this moment is for sure where you wanna be go get that curiosity of seeing how she may feel and or taste on out your system and unwrapped like i kno you like to be but you do like you did with your ex and....that will be your business so I say it again go fuck her and we'll see where we end up afterwards cause the next steps are up to you because your still not ready...i also feel and I know she aint the only one you wanna fuck but like I said we will see where we end up. I kno I ruined your life with being one to share so much love with you bundled in a piece of you and me just for it to be taken away and ive stressed you to a T with the way shit has been with certain people in my family but...through all of it I loved you harder and more I put more of me into it and tried to push down my intuition but once it started choking me and taking a toll I just prayed on it and tried to deal with it as best I knew how but it was always there....i won't say too much more but go...go ahead and test the waters I know you been waiting to test besides wouldn't it be better this way than you doing it secretly and me finding out too late being hurt later on than facing it now. Also when you come out or even if you dont go in I got a question for you.

Ala: (The Womb of the World)
Great Mother of the fertile soil,
...
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 -

When Gentlemen can see—
