    Looking up to my life. Seen only your image
    Searching my heart,
    Seen only Your image and name,my Nat
    Then I know you are my true love in life

    Each day,I fight to stop seen you but you kept on making ways into my life and heart
    And I love you so much

    And one day the father of my children.

    I see us growing old together.
    Having a bright future forever.

    I Was Painting You

    I know they look like

    sunrises and sunsets,

    but I was painting you.

    When I painted all the

    rivers that led to the

    oceans, and the glorious

    starry nights, and the

    flowers; the sublime

    orchids and the tender

    roses.

    In the end

    and from the beginning,

    I was painting you.

    My daughter talks to

    her blueberries like they're

    her best friend,

    my soul smiles,

    and I never want it to end.

    THE STREETS

     

     

    Coronavirus: Pandemic is a new reason to help homeless people - Los Angeles  Times

     

     

    The streets aren't paved

    with gold, as this I was

    surely told,

    They are lonely places

    and you play your aces,

    your life is now on hold.

     

    You find yourself down

    and out, and you just

    want to shout,

    Your life has no meaning,

    but you are still dreaming,

    other people always spout.

     

    The sun comes up on

    another boring day, you

    FINDING TRUE LOVE

    When you have a loved

    one you feel so brand

    new.

    You are in love - that is

    so very true,

    You tell each other every

    day

    You love each other in 

    your own special way.


    You were childhood 
    sweethearts,
    That is where it starts.
    The love you share from
    child to adult
    Is part of life which is
    a cult.

    Your feelings are for
    one another - 
    Are blessed by both - 
    your father and your
    mother.
    All through your life
    and beyond - 
    Even to heaven - and
    paradise is found.

    So love each other as
    you should,
    That is a message from
    our true lord.
    The love in our soul - is
    for all mankind - 
    As love and happiness
    is ours to find.

    Rewritten fate


      
        
      


    Only the gaze laughed out of heaven, with the merry music of sparrows, message to the heart. Only two fragile hands that touch it with care will comfort you when you need it! Just an immortal smile that promises the Universe and then offers you its fruits of Eden! He promised with the appearance of uncertainty while Everything was himself!

    There was: A brilliant rainbow to drive an overcast cloud sky out of the chimneys of my head and to expand the vast prison boundaries of trust around us! What a happiness I liked: It was an empty loss of eye light, and it was possible that only grief grew bottomless ditches!

    There is only one sure point left: Mutual self-deception, false consciousness. "Tell me, honey?" do you still love me? ” My pounding heart whispered to him. "Better than anything in the world!" The gracious, false words were still a little poisone...

    She Did It

    I do not know why, but she did it!
    I thought she was faithful but she was not!
    I thought she was in love but she was not!
    I do not know why, but she did it!
    I use to give her whatever she needs but she did it!
    She calls herself a night debt collector while she was not;
    She died on a Sosa (crack) deal, surely she was not!
    Gangsters pull-ups in black cars at her funeral, shouting she did it.

    Take time before you take her to that landlord's house.
    Gangster's funeral was your funeral, my so-called darling.
    Gorillas spinning cars, fingers on triggers, and earsplitting she did it.
    That where I picked up some words, she uses to nasal utter in my house.
    Thugs speaking of Sosa and crack like my so-called darling;
    I googled each and every word they spit until I knew she did it!

    What`s The Plan

    Look at yourself you are just a stain.
    Look at yourself, you have spent a decade in the cell.
    I pray you may never spend a second again in the cell.
    I pray you may stop selling dope, I trust your brain!
    Dope pusher, what's the plan, look at him, he is just a stain?
    Coke pusher, what's the plan, he must not die in the cell?
    Coke boy, choose God not the crack, otherwise die on the cell.
    Cracker betrayal was our God plan, our society says no to cocaine.

    We say no to cocaine, pusher calls it coke!
    We have a high unemployment rate but we say no to illegal drugs!
    We say no to heroin, pusher calls it dope!
    We push to feed our fam, ok you kill whose fam with your coke?
    We have a high unemployment rate but we say no to illegal drugs!
    We push to feed our fam, ok you kill whose fam with your dope?

    XXI. century panorama


      
        
      


    I saw wild, human-hearted animals roaring in the filth of filthy crumbs of the crumbs of discarded chips-bags, - of the infected carcasses of garbage cans, and I thought the Order was now dictated by wolf laws. Miserable human wreckage did not understand what might have happened to them: They also took away the order of begging humility!

    Humiliating each other to the ground, chanting motherly curse words, they cut their ugly words into each other’s eyes - while spitting themselves out too! They are still saving their stranded shipwrecked lives, their own recyclable waste bungalows. But there are those who have become messengers among them and its outburst is foolishly impossible. He jumps on a bridge, he thinks, all-shift firefighters are just bringing down: A new world of precious human life!

    A few more stand next to him and comfort him, “Don't be discouraged bu...

    And If My Soul Is Crying

    It’s happening again,

    Such unbearable pain,

    And if my soul is crying

    As my heart is breaking, then that’s fine…

     

    I’ve let so many people down,

    Lost so many beautiful opportunities,

    I feel so failed and forlorn,

    But is that really such a tragedy?

     

    Perhaps, rather,

    It’s a positive thing,

    Shouldn’t a true artist be suffering?

    At least I’m feeling something…

     

    It’s happening again,

    Such unbearable pain,

    And if my soul is crying

    As my heart is breaking, then that’s fine…
