Oh last

Oh! My ears exploded when they heard the noise! Of a thousand mountains as they stood poised, Ready to take the onslaught of the future- Having already endured the past... Mountains stand tall for me, Reassuring me that they're gonna last. Sign in to see full entry.

Dreams Die

I see masses of brown folk, Cursed since the yoke; Their anguished cries that mourn the demise- Can never seem to evoke even the change Of a mere brushstroke. But how could these be the ones cursed From birth? When in their veins runs the blood Of the Earth? Oh, how these evil fates Erase landscapes... Sign in to see full entry.

I see cages

Well they say it will get better, But do they really know what Follows the cold wind blow? They say I'll smile- Show my teeth; first time in a while, But how can they know that I'm not So vile? Yeah, well they say things will Change, That the world will Rearrange, But the only thing I see changing-... Sign in to see full entry.

Giants

Giants of the Earth now surround me, The mist rests gently on snowy peaks- Feeding off their mothers as they drift Gently... I hear ancient war-cries, As I stand erect amidst the glory of History- Do the spirits hear me as I hear them? I hear the battlefields- Ones where blood was shed, And ones...

Quakes

As a child, When I laid my head to rest- Brain filled with dreams of the best, I could be a King back then- When I let myself dream, Anything was possible it seemed- Back when my soul was green. Oh, the beauty of innocence! Oh, the wonder of that new-presence! Oh! Oh, how I miss my child-essence!... Sign in to see full entry.

dream's demise

In a dream: Maybe lucid; I saw her once again, I yelled out and felt my heart lift, I smiled and called to her, Elated. I said, 'There she is! That's my diamond in the rough, There's my treasure in a red blouse Rolled at the cuff.' She walked with her back to me, I watched her hips swing, I started... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, free.

Oh, I saw you tie that noose, You wrapped it tight, not extra loose, You yell for help, And, yes, my ears they hear you, But my throat is numb and my brain a cloud, Prevents me from screaming so loud, I wish I could save you from you. Yeah, lady swing, lady swing, Lady bring, lady sing, Sing to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Saw it in Reality

I saw it in your lips, As they begged for a kiss, And your heart longed for the piece you miss, I saw it in your eyes, As you contemplated demise, And your face was swollen from a life of cries, Yeah, I could see it in your toes, And all the way up, it twitched your nose, And your soul secreted...

You Remain

I see it in you as you start to breath, And in your anger you start to seethe; Your eyes light aflame and they burn it all, The speeds increase in your chest rise, fall, I see your body as it starts to shiver, I see every hair on your head…it starts to quiver, I see your story in a fallen eye lash,...
