Circle of Emotions

Pain, love, and hate,
Three words fours letters,
When combined they emulatel each other,
Some love pain,
Some hate love,
Some love to give pain,
Some feel hate and pain when love's gone,
Some hate the pain that love gives,
All can create emotional depth,
Tears to descend,
Some take years to mend,
We can stop hate and stop the pain,
But if we stop to love?
Think of the hate and pain it would cause.........

Mind view

Racists views,
Right to choose,
Winners break the tape but still lose,
Smile in our face,
Turn and the tongue chatters,
Weak minds believe it really matters,
Raindrops descending,
Emotional fracture forever mending,
Spiritual beliefs keep knees bending,
Distorted requests what are we sending?
Loving GOD but still pretending,
Facebook friending,
Wars on Twitter,
The computer's eye are the new baby sitters,
Social media,
Always misleading ya,
Put our business in the street,
But we all want privacy,
Too deeply attached to the spine of society,
What a misguided frat or sorority,
Now everything are shades of grey,
Couldn't mix black in white back in the day?

Chemical Insecurity

Faces are like places,
The view is panoramic,
Still,
Continuous,
Painted on with chemicals,
What happened to natural beauty?
Society is the brush,
For facial insecurity,
Women sleep without makeup,
Wake up without makeup,
But, buy items to cover up true identity,
Then buy products to uncover what's been hidden all day!
So who's fake?
Who's the culprit behind this dilemma?
Society's the brush we are the canvas,
It's woven in their scalp,
I'm so sorry, it's embedded in the brain,
Excuse me!  I paid good money for this hair,
We waste money on things we already have,
The word natural has been replaced with enhance,
We are born with a gift,
Everything that sags or falls we can magically lift,
The excuse is, " I want to be different!"
No we want to be accepted!
We want to spend money to change our appearance,
He wouldn't look at me twice without makeup,
Which is not true!
With or without makeup the word DAMN is in the conversation,
You define it yourself!
At the end of the day,
Do you like yourself?
Or do you need someone else to tell you?
Places are like faces,
The beauty is in the eyes of the person looking.....

Deep Roots

It's a shame,
When the family you grow up with,
Is the most distance as we grow older,
Never let death be the reason to tell a family member,
I Love You or I remember When,
The sun will never shine on their face,
Their shadow shall remain,
Plain and silent,
Vague but, photographic;
We do what we do,
We chose what we chose,
The tears cascade,
The phone call ends,
I should've clicked over,
It was my best friend,
As the casket closed,
I read the text,
I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW,I LOVE YOU AND I MISSED MY FAMILY.......

Without a Trace

F- orgiving not forgetting,

A- ll we remember is your shadow and,

T- he days that you've been gone,

H- ave you no heart?

E- veryday memories,

R- eveals the pain since you forgot that your not a man.....

Renew

One can't explain the unknown,
When the days of those had hearts of stone,
Only they know the real reason,
When they were committing spiritual treason,
Those are the days when they weren't believing,
Eyes were open and they still weren't seein,
Because the darkness was what they were conceivein,
But it took change to understand that we thought was actually good was only deceivin,
Sometimes we can't do the math,
So how do you think that you know life's path?
If we did do you think we would have the same walk,
Conversations would be different when we talk,
One time crackhead,
Use to steal,
Use to beg,
How can we understand someone else's last breath,
When our own conscience thinks we've cheated death?

Really??

She once told me never,
It was cool and clever,
Then I said whatever!
One day we'll be together,
And it might be forever?
Her face started wincing,
But it mentally sounded briefly convincing,
However,
She said, " I wasn't thinking straight due to bad weather,"
Plus I had other ties that needed to be severed,
Before and anything could be delivered,
If you start something we have to finish,
Or this whole dream will diminish,
It could be everything right in the palm of this hand,
But, fear keeps us apart and lonely as we stand,
Damn!
Nothing gained because the heart remembers pains past,
She said, " I thought I had a man in my forecast!"
I'm sorry it's too much pressure,
She said, " even with tape I couldn't measure!"

Soldier

Home Land To No Man
It all started out as the family man,
House with the picket fence a true American dream,
Never really seen it coming but, only heard,
Then the day came when we ultimately had to serve,
For God and my country I remember the words so true,
Never thoughts the words I lOVE YOU  would mean so much ,
Until I had to depart from you!
Hold my hands and the warmth will keep us strong,
For how long?
Freedom is the reason you say why we fight?
To a land of unfamiliar sight,
Sailing across the raging sea strapped ready to go,
Don't feel so gung ho!
As a tear fades to salty sea below,
Hit the sad bar (Sand bar) now begins the charge,
Casualties large,
Definition of killing is redefined to survival,
No regards for life,
Just thoughts of guilt festering in the mental quicksand,
Surrounded by destruction,
Charred remains,visual,and mental stains,
On the brink of insanity,
Can't think about where I want to be, ( I want to go home),
For my country?
What about For my family!
As we sit here in this trench,wrenched, drenched, in our own stench,
SEMPER FI DO OR DIE!
We did with our heads held high,
Now all we have are the stories which we do not tell,
The eyes do swell when we think of our comrades who fell,
At home once again,
But, a different man,
I see and fell the pain but, I still love them but,it's hard to understand,
Every time I walk through the door,
All I can remember is the love that I left behind,
WAR !
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR BESIDES FOR MY COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Nursery of mine

Jack was nimble,
Slow not quick,
Mistook a plugin for a candlestick,
Jill took a tumble,
A nervous tongue will often stumble,
What happened to jack?
He tripped over the pail and hurt his back,
The dish ran away with the fork because of a dirty spoon,
How can a cow jump over a crescent moon?
Old McDonald had a farm b-i-n- g-o,
On that yard he had a dog e-i-e-i-o,
Three little pigs see how they run,
Three blind mice can't see the sun,
Twinkle, twinkle star so far,
Row, row, row your boat gently where your are,
A b c d e f g,
Make up words just like poetry,
Words of wisdom gently down the stream,
Bended knees shatter broken dreams,
Hickory, dickory clock,
What will one do when time in life finally stops?????

Shadow life

Picture me bummin, Begging for sumthin for nothing, Straight frontin, Plain game, Not worried about shame, Cookin pipes with flames, Every time I light it, I fight it, As soon as I smell the aroma, It's all over I'm a goner, To the island of mirage, But, I wake up in a abandoned garage, Burnt lips and fingertips, No chips, Worried about a sore I caught from some nasty hips, Everything in this life has no grip, So my food box remains hungary and sick, Trying to look for a bottle to sip, If I'd had some cheddar life would better, Even when it rains on me nothing gets wetter, I'm in a traffic jam everything is stop light red, How can I push life up? What can anyone say? When the initials in your name spell D.O.A. DMK 8/2/13

Curtains

The great pretender, Return to sender, Thief of hearts, Emotional blender, It's hard to forget when one constantly remembers, Life in trance, Is love the same without romance? A lonely dance, A constant melody, If I say goodbye would that be the best remedy? I can no longer let you in, This soul needs mental rest, No more tests, More highs, Tired of the lows, What ifs, Who knows, How the story goes? The end starts when the doors close......... DMK 7/30/13
