The FirstIn every life timethere's always a first,An individual to boost your esteemThe person that you see only in your dreamsThe first may lead to a changeConfuse your image, and spoil your name,Itmay open your eyes to the other side,Or it can make you worse, ifit stays by your sideThe first is a lesson in strideIt can love you, till the day you die,It may warn you to keep out of sightOr "itmay hurt you deep down inside

"The first will never leave your mindItwill always stay and come from time to timeThe first is the first that could never be replacedMy first, was the first, that taught me how to sayIdon't give a f%A*!

My TimeIf only I could stop time for a minuteI'll devour every second of silencememorize the stillness on earthcapture it with most endurance and pleasureand save it to tell!Ifonly I could stop time for a minuteI would touch the bird that flies over meAbsorb the leaf that's in front of mesecure the magic that beholds meI'll scrutinize every smiling faceI'll examine gestures all around the placeRead signs that I never noticeStudy the world with attentive focusIf only I could stop time for a minuteI'll touch the hands that have never been touchedmeet each eyewith robust lustKiss the lips that are full and sweet.Comb each hair so nice and neat

I'll sing the song, dance alongAll the way to the topI'll shout so loud and cry somehowJust to show some sense of peaceIfonly I could stop time for a minute,what a minute that would befilled with wonderful memoriesthat would be for me to keep.

IAroseSketching a road that leads to a landA land that crosses all boundariesBoundaries that are open to mankindAnd mankind is the only way throughthese passages, I arose.

ASon's Broken HeartI hate the world,Especially when Ihave to think,everyday,When that fateful day will come.Ilove her so muchShe gave me life,She brought me to this world!Why does life have to end for her this way,Over all she's a great person,Extremely charitable and loving,Always stood by me when life seemed troubled,Ican't imagine life without her,And knowing there's nothing Ican do,Ifeel so hopeless!Ye 1 ; : , the worst has not heglln,J love her, mymom,Living with H.I .V.

Your LossAll the trust I had in youwould diminish - cause you were so cruelto pretend that I would not mindto play me with your friend outside.You gambled with my heart,And took me for a ride,bur I didn't realize that you left me behind.To put 10 years in jeopardy,all to be satisfied internally.Only a senseless fool could do such an actSo forget us two, and get ready for a smack.After all these years we had survivedYQU choose that woman, and left me to cry.So now it's your turn to think

about your mistake,too bad it's over, to win me ...it's too late.

Y9U, Me, andEveryone ElseYour mischief may have its advantages,Life has only one establishment,To be obedient and knowledgeable,straight forward wise and profoundMake a mark for those to followLet it be a road that would be wise,not shallow.Let it have confidence, and loyalty,honesty, humor and royaltyLive your life without any regretsAlways try to knock negativity out of your wayOr else the favorite melodies of feloniesare bound to swayRemember life is too shortto be poised with influencesset your mark, lead your road, and earn respect ...for your name is what you make it to be...

IMiss YouIt's your hand I wait to holdIt's your heart that's never coldIt's the embrace of your arms,

that makes me secureTill I kiss you again,Till Itouch the hand that touches mine,

so ever tightlyTill I feel the heart, that's full of

universal love, patronage, and "WisdomYet ...I still wait ....

For the eyes that tell a storyFor the lips so soft, almost spiritualFor the face that knows what knowledge

courage and strength areAnd can stare into my eyes, and hypnotize me,

entirelySince the night you went away, Imiss you!Till you come to see me again, I'll miss you!Until the moment that we can reunite,I'llmiss you!Till then, I miss you!

The MoonThe moon is my light

. It's the light that shines throughEven though it may have clouds that fogMy moon has a way to shine through.It illuminates me when I am blueand brightens my daysAU through and throughMy moon is my light that's always full and brightIt is my source of livingin its nature of givingNo matter who, what, and where,Iknow my moon is up there,In every place I go,its format always showsMy moon is my lightAfter dark and at nightMy moon is always there,And it goes with me everywhere

DecisionTo a friend that has a nameTo a person that has no shameHe does what is neededin times of endearmentA friend I calledA lover he recallsWhat might and if it happensCould change or may not changeA foe when words despairA doe when I know he's not thereWhen so ever he decidesI'm sure I'll follow his strideTill then, I would keep these words of mineHold it, till the end of time,And leave it up to him to decide.
