There's a possibility
That maybe we
Could be
In love for
The very first
Time
In our lives
So hold on
Tight
Oh, we're in
For a ride
Up and up
Round and round
Challenges we shall
Not back down
Sweaty palms
And heavy tongues
Butterflies taking flight
Losing our minds
To ...
Sweet
Honey Bees
I know
Your pain
The price
You pay
The life
You make
The courage
It takes
To sacrifice
Everything
Hopes . . . dreams
All
For the sake
Of your Queen...
Down
Flows The
River
A path
Smooth as
Honey gold
Such
A magnificent
Color
It glows
Shinning
In all its
Glory
As it reflects
The sky
Above
Down
The River
Flows
A thousand miles
Pass
My home...
A sweet kiss
Here
A sweet kiss
There
Now you open
What they claim
Righteously as theirs
Beautiful words
Spill
Out of their
Lips
While fingertips
Trail
To the center
Of what is
Precious
Most dear
To your innocence
Meanwhile fear
Clogs
Your throat
Preventing you
From u...
Vincent had seen it all. The fall, the attack, the drowning. It had all happened so quickly, a blur really. One second the kid was there, and the next . . . he was gone. The river had swallowed him whole.
Why though? Why would someone do such a thing? Why would they steal such innocence? He was a ...
It was a little boy. His face was disfigured and his body was discolored. The found him in the river, drifting along lifeless. Defense markings ran up and down his little arms and legs.He was a fighter, he fought. But his killer overpowered him. Poor little guy didn't stand a chance. He lost th...
One stage
One mic
One voice
One light
I see
One poem
I read
One you
One me
One spotlight
Whose is it gonna be?
This is it
One chance
You get
Speak now
Open your mouth
Speak loud
Speak proud
No shyness is allowed
The time has come
Open your mouth
Untie your tongue...
Some days
I want to be alone
In my room
With the stereo on
Blasting Beethoven
As I hum along
To the beat
Of the symphony
That seems to go
On and on
And when it stops
I pick up my violin
And play the symphony
Over again
The best way I can
With the bow in my left hand
And the ...
Have you ever soared
So high
Through the clouds
Above the sky
At night
When the stars twinkled
And shined brightly
Providing tremendous light
As they dance a dance
So moving and touching
Protecting you from danger
These strangers
Of the heavens
Leading you in the right direction
Givi...
What can you make of a doomed soul
Evil through and through
Never open to change
Close minded in every way
I say let him stay
Inside where the predators
Like to pray
On the likes of him
'Tis better for the children
'Tis better for society in general...
Don't blame me for your
Mistakes
I was there for you
Every step
Of the way
When she died
I was right by your side
When you cried
On my shoulders
I was the one that told ya
That we all must go through the rain
Before the sun will shine again
We were friends
Once lovers
But all of...
If by chance
You gave me this
Dance
I would take your hand
In mine
As I bow my most gentlemanly
Bow
If by chance
You gave me this dance
I would twirl you onto the floor
Forgetting the rules
Proximity is what I would choose
Sending faces alike aglow
If by chance
You gave me this d...
My broken body lies on a cold, wet deserted road covered in blood. I'm hanging on to life by only a small thread, while the will to live slowly dissipates from my inner soul. When I cough blood spews from my mouth like a broken water fountain.
Tears streaks my face, leaving wet slithery tr...
Upon thee I will bless with this Rose
Red as sin
it signifies our love
A love that is bottomless deep
grows fonder with each beat
of thy heart
It leaks and cries for thee
O love do ye know any pain for thy heart loves in vain
Forbidden fruits of lust
In thy name
A game that sounds sore...

Dear Diary,
I am neither superior nor inferior to my black counterparts. Yes, I may be educated, and yes, I may live in a house, but who am I to say that I'm better than the next slave?
The complexion of my skin, the color of my eyes, and the wave of my hair are all physical c...
I don't have any superficial wounds to show for.
My condition is invisible to the eye.
But I hurt just the same
You'd never know by looking at me now,
but I used to be a marine.
So, Hurrah to my fellow soldiers in Iraq
who are serving their country with such great pride.
If it was...

"Can I get you anythinhg before we start? Perhaps a snack, drink?"
"I'm fine," the young man the young man replied.
"Are you sure because I could get Andrew-"
" I said, I'm fine!"...
Claping for the anatagonist
Booing the protagonist
Laughing when someone dies
Bring a baby with you that cries
Talking on your phone
Purposedly playing your ringtone
Blocking people view
Proping your feet on the chair in front of you
Why must you be a nuisance?...
We leave a trial of footprints in the sand
As we walk down the beach hand in hand.
The sun is shinning on our dark faces.
The wind is whispering in our ear.
The water is slashing against our feets.
Nothing but another day at the beach....
Sing me a song not so idyllic
Sing me a song extravagent
Siong me a that'll make me burst into tears
Sing me a song because a new day is here
Sing me a song because the first family is black
Sing me a song for the big melting pot...
I here the chains clicking
I hear the spirital songs
Should I put down my plow and join along
I hear the cries of a mother grief and I know nothing can ever compare
At that moment my heart starting hurting for my own mother despair
I hear the sound of a whip being slashed through the air
I st...
Victimize me will you
Show me some sympathy
Tell me you understand
I'm a sixteen year old girl
What do you expect?
I know nothhing about love
And yet you suspect me to
Your rejection leave a permanant crack on my heart
I try to hide my feeling with a smile
I walk around likes nothin...
The mother sits and cries
for she knows her little angel is about to die
She wants to keep an optimistic mind
But she can't help thinking of commiting suicide
Life without her child is not an option
She couldn't live with him in spirit
Oh how she would envy the mothers
With there perfectly...
