CRY OF THE POOR
Growling stomach
and aching back,
sores from the cold
facing the storm bold.
I may be from the hood
but my soul is good.
I just need some food;
Give me if you could.
On the go but at a loss-
This is not a cause
but my cross;
Spare me some clothes.
It’s getting hotter-
skin burnt, sorer.
At night, it’s colder;
I truly need shelter.
Yes, this is poverty.
No food yet still lucky
to be alive, hopefully
some day I will cope.
LIGHT & BRIGHTER
Can I bring back the time
When seeing you smile
Makes my day so light
And my night brighter?

OBLIVION
nothing’s clear now.
my body is above
viewing a tomb
with flowers abloom
on a morn of brume.
nothing’s clear now.
utmost reality,
in this new city
i walk, i come to see
it’s not friendly to me.
what lies ahead
with my heart so dead
not to smile
even for a dime,
not to talk
even when stalked,
because nothing’s clear now.

REASONS TO SMILE
How can you not smile
In today’s abundance of vigor
Full of joy, life and love
Til tonight’s dark treasures spark?
How can you not smile back
To a lttle girl’s innocence
Whose smile is as precious
As the sun rising on an early morn?
How can you not smile at all
When blessings abound from up above
Beyond your frown, upon His grace,
He still watches over you with loyal faith?

Can I Call You?
Do you feel my pains?
Do you see the tears?
The hurts never stop
Not a minute of the day.
I am miserable without you
Finding myself crying
In total darkness
Calling out your name.
I am lost without you
Walking with no strength
Stripped off any confidence
You once instilled in me.
I am tearful each time
Thoughts of you cross my mind
For there is a million and one
Of happy memories.
Can I call you?
Can you talk to me?
Will you listen
To my questions?
Do you want me to forget?
To move forward?
Do you want me to smile
