I once was told I was never to succeed,
Because of my skin color and the way that I breathe.
Although I am not privileged,
Nor do I have eyes deep as ocean blues,
I am human and I refuse to lose.
My beloved
I yearn for her everyday
Wanting to feel her
Only I know I can't because she's nowhere to be found
I search for her frantically, seeking for her presence
The feeling of warmth
comfort
solidarity
The first feeling of an infant
with it's new mother
Every person's
On an island of quiet, with thoughts kept at bay
More dangerous than the rocks and the cold, the wind and the rain.
What can make it better? What can pass the time?
As I am looking into the distance,
With the abundance of time,
I can't help but think of the impact
My memories have had on my mind.
As am I watching, I wish that
some of those moments,
Make love, not war
“War” is just another word,
It kills, harms, and hurts
Risking lives, hurts worse.
It can never be tamed
But it is always consistent
Not all are the same
But there are none that are different
It is a smell, sound, or sight
Bury me where the water is clear
where there is no hate or talk of despair
I want to know what that kind of life is like
for a soldier who stood fighting
an unknown right.
Shining, Shimmering
As far as the eye can see
Walls as high as the sky
Topped with silky white foam
The calming sloshing sounds of the ocean
The aroma of the sea
Salt water adn Sea weed
It seems my time has come.
Never have I seen the moonlight with such eyes.
The rays of pure white light strike me with eye opening edge.
Magnificent.
I watch the breeze play with the leaves.
This is not me. This is my pain. It makes me mad. It brings me down. My pain body forces me to act in ways that I normally don't. I am reckless and rebellious. My mind so fogged up by my pain it can't think but only react.
Be at peace from the angel above
Be at peace with your mother &father
Be at peace with your friends
Be at peace my brothers and sisters
Be at peace with God
Be at peace with yourself
