Tell Me Now, Does It Hurt?

Let me rip out your heart
hide your children, crash your prized car
and burn up your favorite shirt
Tell me now, does it hurt?
Does your eyes itch with an urge to cry?
Deep inside, do you feel that knife?
Let me tear up your family picture
Sell you lies leaving you unsure
Haunt you to keep you alert
Tell me now, does it hurt?
Do you feel your soul breaking down?
Do you want to just lay on the ground?
Let me show you Love then show you Hate
Show you the happy then show you the pain
There are no breaks, no ways for you to avert
Tell me now, does it f*cking hurt?

Remember Me

Remember me

Remember me
And the times I had made you smile
And walked with you for more than a mile
And had let you cry on me for a while

Remember me
When I came to your side
When you were just about to die
When not one would say hello or good-bye

Remember me
Into all these pieces I wrote
And those little love notes
Just a thought to keep us afloat

Remember me
Hear my laugh among the trees
Feel my soft touch within the breeze
See my reflection in the sea (in the sea)

Remember me
When the birds sings my song
There is no way to say it wrong
I am in the wind, I am the dawn

As long as you remember me
Remember me

INVISIBLE

I am invisible, invisible –
Cannot be seen if it was able.
So, I tried to not care,
Yet, I’m standing here,
And they’re all passing me by.
Under the sun and bluebird sky,
I’m a flower trying to keep warm,
In the middle of the snow storm.
I would bloom in the sunshine,
Just to have their eyes meet mine.
I am like an old, forgotten poster,
That had faded away as time slither..
Oh, I, I, I…
I am a red rose,
on the side of the road,
People forgot to stop and smell,
and reminisce on what makes Life swell.
So, go on, go on, go on please –
Walk on by, don’t notice me.
Don’t wave, don’t shake,
Whatever they do, I will take.
Step on me, to get to the next level,
Rain on me like the month of April.
Oh, I, I, I…
I don’t care, I’ll endure it all!
Why would they care? I’m invisible!
There are countless billions of souls on this planet,
More are born & more dies every minute!
Why have I never had ever thunk,
That I’d mean the world to someone?
I’m but a tiny, tiny firefly’s light,
In this vast reality, locked in flight
Whenever and wherever I land in the end
I hope this to be seen, what I had penned

Yesterday, Today, + Tomorrow

I am me – yesterday, today, & tomorrow

Just like I was so many years ago

I was born as a crack baby

When my mama was less a lady

Left me behind at Grandma’s home

Years later, mama passed away alone

She was never around

Nor is she in the ground

She sits on my sister’s mantle in a vase

Simple and plain with a bow of lace

I would say that was the perfect way

Since she’s been gone, I had more sunny days

I never really knew my father or his side

but I have the color of my father’s eyes

I have had loved a woman then a man

I had loved all those that I can

I am me – yesterday, today, & tomorrow

Just like I was so many years ago

I grew up and had my children

By then, my life finally begun

I felt like it’s the month of May

Sunny and warm, everyday

I never knew what being called “Mommy” could do

To my  heart, it melts me down to my shoes

I learned from their love

They had lifted me up

And I shall do the same

Give all of me back to them

I am me – yesterday, today, & tomorrow

Just like I was many years ago

I’m just updated, a better version

More wholesome as a person

I am just like fine wine

I “taste” better with time

Age is just a number to me

Life is a bottomless pit so deep

That no diver and machine can ever

Discover those exclusive Life’s answers

I see now I have been blessed

I can now write my own ballad

I am me – yesterday, today, & tomorrow..

Just like I was so many years ago..

I’m just updated, a better version..

More wholesome as a person…

Mile After Mile

It’s raining in the dark outside
We’ve been at this a little too long
Let us make peace and play nice
And maybe we could all get along

It’s still raining as the sun shine
I’ve been kicked to the curb
Taken away from what once was mine
Could any of this get any worse?

Shelter me, o’ weeping tree
From the heavy raindrops falling
Down, down, down like misery
I’m desperate to hear my calling

A bird flies overhead, I look up
Suddenly, it seems as if it speaks
Telling me to awaken and to stand up
“You need to believe you are not weak”

Keep on walking in the word of truth
your knees may get tired after a while
But they are never going to fail you
If you keep the belief in faith, mile after mile

Come Sit By Me

Come sit by me on this mountain here

See the majesty of Mother Nature at her boldest

It feels different with the wilderness lurking near

Get warm before nightfall, she can be at her coldest

Sit by me by this fire here

Believe I will keep you warm

Don’t you worry, dear

I will chase away any harm

Wherever you may be, here or there

At any times, I will cross the world

At your call or just to be near

Always know you’re my special

Outside, amongst the trees

I find myself right at home

I feel, almost entirely free

And never, ever alone

Come sit by me, open your eyes

Breathe in the fresh, cool pine

See the eagles diving in the skies

Lay down in meadows in warm sunshine

Can’t you see, this was meant to be

I was given signs that led me to you

You were right there, just made for me

That was when I knew

Oh, yes…  I knew

BULLETPROOF

I am bulletproof, I said BULLETPROOF!
Inside and out, cannot get through
I burn down kingdoms with just words
My mind is sharper than the Excalibur

My heart is foolproof, My soul flameproof
“I’m Bulletproof!”, I shout out from the roof
My strength is my armor which only gets harder
I eat haters for breakfest which makes me stronger
Not talkin’ anymore ‘cuz you feelin’ my grip on ya neck
I’m tired of messing with y’all, you people are a wreck

I am bulletproof, I said BULLETPROOF!
Inside and out, cannot get through
They fall out of my way as I pass by
Hide behind trees where they’d spread lies
Just like the snake with Eve, they wish for me to bleed
They wish for me to lay down my weapons, be on my knees

I did not survive all my hardships just to surrender
My pride refuses it – my own image, they will censor
and my grandmother did not raise a foolish, naive girl
In my stance, I struck the ground and let my flag unfurl
Hear my roar echo on rolling hills, all around in valleys
Feel my bite in icy winds, sense me in shadows between trees

I am bulletproof, I said BULLETPROOF!
Inside and out, cannot get through
All around the world they try and test me
I just can’t lose because I trust in me

The Nest

A tall tree with no leaves, a lone nest sits up atop

The snow falls, the rain pours, the wind blows

And yet still there it sits, as if iron wrought

Simple yet ever bold

Glory of the Morn

As the dawn arise, a morning glory showcases its’ colors, frosted with droplets of dew and ice

Such fascinating sight often unnoticed by people stuck in the hustle and bustle of Life

Emotions on a paper

I write as I live, I live as I write

Give me a pen, I don’t need an eraser

Emotions converted to words onto a paper

A finished poem feels like a break-up

After a hot affair with smeared make-up
