[size=15pt]She sings a soft lullaby
He hums a melody
Harmony.

---
Never looking to crafted constellars
To determined their future, no. . .
No calenders, luminaries, planetary stages. . .
Nothing but an invisible hand.
---
'Tis funny how deep a sword pierces through
Revealing who really resides in there. . .
. . . You . . .
---
Can you hear the muted squelch of the blade
Mingled with:
Horror. . . Fear. . . 
And strangely awe.
---

It reaches a cresendo
With birds as their teacher. . .
Her form supported by his
As one they stroll into the sunset. . .
A trailing melody.

---

Believe me
They are one
Two souls bonded by a third.
It haunts me.[/size]

[size=17pt]. . .Belted a melody
Right to depths of your soul
Tunes fluted so true
A kaledioscope of sorts
Your inner self
You. . .

----

Pieces composed by others
As if of one mind
You could care less of language
Your discernment alerts your heart
To sing along   [/size]

 [size=19pt] ". . . there's far too many. . . of you. . .dying. . ."
". . . it's gonna break my heart if I would. . . say goodbye."
Numbing the pain.
Singing it through.
No instrumentals. . .
Larynx strained.
(So you heard me?)
No, leave me alone.
Let me grieve my way,
Let it rain. . .


Goodnight Grandma, I'll see you someday. cry cry cry  [/size]

". . .And when you find one day~ you succeed--
To break down all the boundaries~ and be free--
From those who take from me~ to mislead me--
For they're greedy,  And they're empty oh-oh-oh. . ."

Whispered like a pray'r. . .

Nor in his face

Artic's cold,

What I see may deceive me. . . (Attraction)

What I feel may reel me. . . (Infatuation)

What I know may change me. . . (Love)

Is he 'The One'?
The One for me?

Shh! Don't tell.


I've a secret 'n it's bubblin' like Ikogosi's spring wells. . .


Come near, please come and keep tones under. . .


And enjoy the beauty of twilight's natural wonder.


See that? Did you see that bird? Its plumage of browns, reds, and yellows over there-- in the shadow. . .


This is my escape, you see. Escape from all the nonsense and I sigh. . .


Nakama. . .
this is one of the ways I praise the Most High.

[size=18pt]Drifting~
Like the wind.
Shifting~
Particles of Sahara.
Carving~
Sleepy dunes of matter.
Winding~
Slippery sidewinder arcs.
Dining~
On ensnared hind.
Reclining~
In vulnerable digest.
Hunting~
Game at rest.

Fear...~

Fear its power...
Its power to divide...
To divide joints...
Joints and marrow...
To cleave even...
Even dividing...
The dividing of Soul...
Of Soul & Spirit.
It Spears so...
I fear so...
Jah,
It's You.
It's You I fear so.

Please~
Please, my pray'r~
My pray'r do hear!

Smile more often.
It suits you.
It softens.
Even if its for me...
Yes--
Let the sunset's green reveal her secret flash to me often.

Then make me...

"If a single tear fell from
your eyes into the ocean
And then washed up on
some far and distant shore
I would still recognize that
teardrop
For in the end that tear
would still be yours."

Life---

What is life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?
When we run too fast to get somewhere, we miss the fun of getting there
Do make the most of all that comes, and then the least of all that goes
For all you touch and all you see, is all your life will ever be.

[size=18pt]Quand j'etais petit garcon,
Je repassais mes lecons... En chantant

Et bien des anees plus tard,
Je chassais mes idees noires... En chantant

C’est beaucoup moins inquietant,
De parler du mauvais temps... En chantant

Et c’est tellement plus mignon
De se faire traiter de con en chanson.

La vie c’est plus murrant
C’est moins desesperant en chantant !

Who said black is not intelligent?
Who said women aren't the crest of poetry?
Who said words aren't to be knitted?
Who said souls aren't moved by words?
Who said there is no God?
Let him/her awake before its dawn.


Wonderful lines of poetry, nice read. Thumbs up!

[size=17pt] He said he was "fine"
He wasn't.

Don't worry 'bout me...
Really?

You assured it will heal.
It's raw.

You claimed it would--
No more.

It's there ...
In the voice...
...the ache


In this age,
Perception is key.
Darkness may just be
Light...
Light To He Who Sees...

Never hide.
Or stay so...
Bare your disquiet
To Jah
It's He who renews souls. [/size]

But rare...
To show and not tell
'bout how I care.



Glomps, knuckle-buns...
Tickles, giggles....
Shy smiles, hesistant chuckles to roaring laughter....
Pumped fists and spinning whirls

All from your favourite grrrrrl wink

[size=18pt]Mockery after fire...
After water and its rain.

Chasing the wind,
Insane undecided

Even as earth trembles,
The works of your hands:
From the elements,
Does it stand,
Will it remain?
