that tree is the same tree you obey
that tree is the same tree you decay yourself for
you are the slave to the money that you
bleed
breathe
and break your back
everyday of your life
that tree is the history
my forefathers rested on
yet that tree is the strife
the end of a colored life
that my forefathers hung from
that tree is family
a connection
a church
a distant praise to the lord above
its a beautiful disastrous confusion of creation
this tree is our respriration
this tree is death
it grows with our pain
it grows with our tear along with the rain
growth from the beautiful risk taking
quiver of a trumpet
the beautiful song that wrapped around the bark
that permanetly has keep their mark
without this tree the blessings wouldnt prevailed
without this tree the books would be empty with
no story to tell
without that tree there be no history
i wouldnt appreciate my kinky naps
that the women before me had to deal with
that damn hot comb
that sizzles close to that scalp
just so our hair could look one half step closer
to a european
i wouldnt comprehend
that tree is the road to
freedom then to freedom
of breaking away from
one chain to one chain
the same chains that reigned
around the ankles of my ancestors
coming to the land of the free....
oh how sweet the sound
that this is tree is still here
to watch the constant
destruction
seduction
of hate, ignorance and obstruction
this tree is love
music
peace
a story
a journey to the glory
with each leaf as the
beginning of the beautiful story...

foundation (tribute to lost and forgotten dreams)
You see it’s the ground
With zero over it
It your soil
Your trail
Your dream
And no one eles
that’s the beauty of youth
Because there is no pollution
No confusion
Or the heavy institution on top
Embedding what is right and what is wrong
It is your life
It is your song
Your soil
Your seeds only for you
To plant
And whatever grows or whatever dies
Life goes on
Though we never know why
But I believe its because you are the author
The painter
The dancer
And the politician of your own life
This is the meaning of devotion
As I write this full of streaming tears
Of emotion that on the paper
This paper is the ocean
And you can either float or drown
You can either smile or frown
Look up or down
Have a voice or never make a sound
This is for you and you and you
And only a few will understand
That as an individual we create our own plans
No woman no man
People will come and go in our lives, so
Just rewind… to moment before you fell in love
Before you created a family
remember your inspriration
Sweat and tears that comes from every sigh of your respiration
Remember who were you were before you flourish into a garden
What was your passion
What was your joy
What was that feeling
That made you feel brand new
The only would never leave you in the middle of the night
Do you remember what made the dark seem so light
When you had it
Its never too late to go back
Never too late to walk amongst the broken track
Of forgotten and lost dreams
Never too late …
Oh it seems
With zero over it
It your soil
Your trail
Your dream
And no one eles
that’s the beauty of youth
Because there is no pollution
No confusion
Or the heavy institution on top
Embedding what is right and what is wrong
It is your life
It is your song
Your soil
Your seeds only for you
To plant
And whatever grows or whatever dies
Life goes on
Though we never know why
But I believe its because you are the author
The painter
The dancer
And the politician of your own life

Of emotion that on the paper
This paper is the ocean
And you can either float or drown
You can either smile or frown
Look up or down

And only a few will understand

Its never too late to go back
Never too late to walk amongst the broken track
Of forgotten and lost dreams
Never too late …
Oh it seems

silent affair
It was a starry night
Holding hands
Eye to eye
This wrong never felt so right
Because we have to be quiet
Quiet…
Like the pure dark we have to blend
So there is nothing to see
So whisper in my ear that you love me
You love me
Breathe into my heart
Let it mold me
Shhhh…
We have to be quiet
We Cant be loud
This is something of a beautiful cut
Something ive never felt
As you hold me
And silently point out Orion’s belt
We use to be loud
Real Loud
Ignorant
Young and proud
But now we sit on separate clouds
Yet send messages
Hoping it’ll float to one another
So when we get the message
Read it quietly
So quietly
The wind becomes lost in time
And the time starts to stutter and lose its constant rhyme
So we can meet again
Meet again
Holding hands
Eye to eye
This wrong never felt so right
Because we have to be quiet
Quiet…
Holding hands
Eye to eye
This wrong never felt so right
Because we have to be quiet
Quiet…
Like the pure dark we have to blend
So there is nothing to see
So whisper in my ear that you love me
You love me
Breathe into my heart
Let it mold me
Shhhh…
We have to be quiet
We Cant be loud
This is something of a beautiful cut
Something ive never felt
As you hold me
And silently point out Orion’s belt
We use to be loud
Real Loud
Ignorant
Young and proud
But now we sit on separate clouds
Yet send messages
Hoping it’ll float to one another
So when we get the message
Read it quietly
So quietly
The wind becomes lost in time
And the time starts to stutter and lose its constant rhyme
So we can meet again
Meet again
Holding hands
Eye to eye
This wrong never felt so right
Because we have to be quiet
Quiet…

the wishing well
There’s no way that I can have you back
No way that I can have your back
Never again because I stabbed your back
this is my apology
My tears are the letters in the words
These words in the sentence
I hope can float into your heart
Because I can’t cry anymore
I’m so dried up from the pain in the start
You were there to wipe the flaws off my cheek
You found me when I played hide n seek
You put a band aid on my heart that use to leak
but I ran so far and so fast
because I wasn’t done with my past
but now ?
how?
Im not done with you
And I tried I tried so hard to shake this
Dust
Oh I must!!
Off of my shoulders
But what if
What if
He was the wrong cliff?
To jump into forever with
What if ?
It wasn’t normal
Our kiss
it was abnormal
our endless bliss
two broke ass niggas
but I felt rich
when I was with you
I toss and turn
And my heart yearns
And my lips start to burn
Because they need yours
And no one else
but back to reality
and I hope you can let go
of your rules and formality
and just imagine taking me back
and starting over
and im so sorry it is over
but if I have to fight
…I will
Ill fight until
One of us is killed
So don’t turn back
My arms are open to catch your back
So …come back
No way that I can have your back
Never again because I stabbed your back
this is my apology
My tears are the letters in the words
These words in the sentence
I hope can float into your heart
Because I can’t cry anymore
I’m so dried up from the pain in the start
You were there to wipe the flaws off my cheek
You found me when I played hide n seek
You put a band aid on my heart that use to leak
but I ran so far and so fast
because I wasn’t done with my past
but now ?
how?
Im not done with you
And I tried I tried so hard to shake this

memoirs of a rose (the finale)
the reason, the inspriration, the person
i tried sooo hard with imitation
wrote back to me
its been forever since i read your sighs
your cries and your heart beat
through your words
i said id always love you
id said id wait ...
but time changed my face
i fell in love with hate
cause i thought u forgot me
like you said "just forget me"
i mean , you got engaged...right?
youre in love right?
but ive noticed its my name that you write
in vain
and its such a shame
because you're the one to blameso stop throwing me into the flames
how long will it be when we will stop
writting to each other through poetry?
how long will it be
when we can just talk like how it use to be
you and me
me and you
now it seems like your heart has turned blue
circles created us
because i followed you, needed you
you see i was young i had no clue
you were the inspriration that got me to write
my first poem
the respiration that got me to to recite my first
poem
but now i stand on my own
writting my poems
well u will never let me go
and i know you can never let me go
in the way that ive let you go
you will always be my rose
and i propose a hand shake
to kill whatever you have left towards me
because im happy
im in love with someone else
someone that loves me underneath it all
someone that caresses and kisses my flaw
and i wouldnt trade it all for nothing
i write my last poem for you today.
because i have tears right now
because i remember the day i use to pray
that id forget your name
and have nothing to say
towards you mi rosa...
so good night and goodluck

open water
the ocean
we are in the middle of it
because its been 50 mins,17 hours and 24 days
and i miss you seems like the only thing i know how to say
the waves keep crashing on me
reminding me on how far you're away
and it makes me cry
makes me want to just die
when youre gone
my spirit is with you
but i still float here all alone
taking it second by second by minute by inch
to getting closer to your kiss
that haunts me and makes me flinch
your arms that hold me
and your stare ...
ah baby... it just isnt fair
we ask god, why did we take on the dare
of this pain we knew we'd bare
why??!?
because i love you
i need you like you need me
the air is polluted without you
without you i win in defeat
my blood flow slows down
and my heart loses its beat
...its that serious
when it comes to you and me
im right here and you're on the other side of the sea
with all the treading, kicking and fighting to stay afloat
sometimes i close my eyes to remember when we were on land
face to face
hand in hand
sane minds
with our hearts perfectly aligned
it felt like the closest thing to heaven
ah that beautiful day on september 7th
but right now i recite this poem
to the wall pretending that maybe
you'd hear me writting for you
feel my pen bleed for you on the paper
feel my heart beat for you in the life
we are strong baby
we will defeat the strife of the negativity
as these sharks circle around us
the challenges we purely disgust
and one day itll just be ... us
but for now
keep treading
keep floating
keep praying that these surrounding frowns
will never let us drown.

breathing with no air
life is cold without you
i get more bruises without you
when i though life would be a
cruise without you
if i go ahead and stand alone
breathe alone
this is my anthem
this is nothing but
my song of the
screeching melodies of all
that is wrong
i took my heart out
when i kissed your
hand goodbye
i killed myself when i left
nothing but my sighs
to your lips of despair
now i walk around stupid
yelling fuck you cupid!
but who cares??
you were the only one that did
but i pushed you off
for a good reason
the reason that i dont deserve it
never believed in it
so why should i recieve it?
your perfection and my infection
to the addition of your submission
of your constant love
I was born alone
i'll die alone
i'll cry alone
and dont worry
i'll pay off the loan
of your goodness
but my goodness!
i hope i dont choke you
with all my negativity
and doubt
...so for now?
turn the lights out
along with my heart
....i always liked it dark
i get more bruises without you
when i though life would be a
cruise without you
if i go ahead and stand alone
breathe alone
this is my anthem
this is nothing but
my song of the
screeching melodies of all
that is wrong
i took my heart out
when i kissed your
hand goodbye
i killed myself when i left
nothing but my sighs
to your lips of despair
now i walk around stupid
yelling fuck you cupid!
but who cares??
you were the only one that did
but i pushed you off
for a good reason
the reason that i dont deserve it
never believed in it
so why should i recieve it?
your perfection and my infection
to the addition of your submission
of your constant love
I was born alone
i'll die alone
i'll cry alone
and dont worry
i'll pay off the loan
of your goodness
but my goodness!
i hope i dont choke you
with all my negativity
and doubt
...so for now?
turn the lights out
along with my heart
....i always liked it dark
