Branded

Tattoo me with your words

Let me feel your ink in my veins

Muscle me with your madness

Did not know the fame

Outer words

Inner thoughts

Tell me about the flowers

That you never bought

Pictures of my hurt

Imprinted on my side

Said in wouldn't hurt

Told another lie

Do not need fabric

With the verses on my thigh

Lessons unfold

It cannot be denied

You wrote about my glory

the last original story

Parched

A light shines through the darkness

Penetrate me with softness

Kisses for good fortune

Curses for the pauper

Love is the stain that washes away or lasts forever

Rather be left half empty because I overflowed

You can't catch this fire with your watery hands

Soon you will be nothing

Neither solid, liquid or vapour 

But not me

I have a soul

And it will remain

Even after I disintergrate

It will go where love goes to die

Become a thought

A reminder of what was

Naught will come for you and naught will be

It Pours

Listen to the rain

The ovation of the gods

The falling of the droplets soothe me

The ground embracing like a baby for milk

The sky a whitish grey as a few strands

In my age I will never tire of the rain

It clears the ashes and quiets the world

Rain in the morning makes me wet

Rain in the evening makes me glisten

The vain use the puddles as mirrors

while the droplets make them look like a Monet

And the girls scurry because they just got their hair did

now

It done wrong

I just stand and stick my tongue out to taste the precip

Reveling, like it were a fine wine

Stay

You cleanse my feet

So you can put them in your mouth

You pour me another

So I can slur my words

You lotion my skin

So I am soft to touch

You kiss my lips

So I speak your name

But it is not this that makes me spend the night

It's when you listen to my thoughts

And tell me your ideas

You fill me with passion

And excite my most intimate part

My mind

Skin to Skin

Your flesh

Is my flesh

Our colour may differ

Our experiences the same

Our tears are clear

So lets live as one

Treat each other decently

And see thru the exterior

We all have our troubles

We want to know

What does it all mean?

Why suffer

Because of the surface

A garden does not grow without roots

So dig deep, my friend

Delve into my soul

See beyond the hues of the skin

And come across the truth of

my spirit

The Ruins

Oh baby, I know you don't listen

Because you don't understand

how can you be wise

If there is no right or wrong

Find peace in the chaos

it will set you free

Don't be so quick tempered

Use restraint

So one day you can seek justice 

and equality

Then triumph 

I can understand culture

But not ignorance

Love,
