A simple Dream

They always said that it was impossible

As always I strived to make it possible

I was not going to accept their negativity

Now it was time to show them my creativity

My disabilities were not going to get in the way

Let them talk until they run out of things to say

Their denial was my most needed motivation

I will walk until I reach my wanted destination

Some stood by my side as other’s started the trash talking

Even if the roads became longer I will keep on walking

Plea For Love

How could I proceed?

When I lost all I need

Tell me the words to say

Only you make pain go away

Lady, please listen to this heart

For it was hit by cupid’s dart

How can I live this life?

Without you as my only wife

There are words I could write

But will they make us unite

Under the summer moon

Or on a chilly afternoon

Please be my shoulder

As the weather turns colder

Why should we come to this?

Can't you forgive with one kiss?

Or will you let me cry for years

For A Special Lady

Could I just depart?

From your heart

Or will my mind

Constantly rewind

To our yesterday

How do I walk away?

When you mean so much

I need your every touch

I try to keep it within

Like I’m hiding a sin

My face says it all

Without you I’d fall

Into the pits of pain

Surrounded by rain

Oh this must be wrong

I need you to be strong

Alone I will not survive

You keep me alive

Only you feel right

Like a clear summer night

Please make my tears

Determined

Silence will not prevail

Failure will not set sail

No sir this young man

Will do all he possibly can

To prove that he will achieve

All the dreams you did deceive

Your rejection will not stop

This lad from reaching the top

You can try but you won’t succeed

He has all he will ever really need

A bunch of dreams that you ignored

He deeply loved and has stored

Into his heart until the very end

These dreams he does closely defend

When he said yes you said a simple no

Dream Attained

I allow my almighty pen
To speak to those arrogant men
They laugh at my hidden creativity
Are they qualified to judge my ability?
Jealousy painted a picture on their face
As I willingly put them in their  place
In this world dreams are mostly craved
Few allow these roads to be paved
Doors of the past are never closed
Weaknesses tends to be blatantly exposed
I admit that I am not a product of perfection
Instead I swim in the sea of their rejection
Tears will fall and that fact I will not hide
Strength is weakness if you put it aside

His Yesterday

The door is closed
As pain is exposed
Sick of the rejection
Strives for perfection
Pursuer of his dreams
Victim to their screams
Tears are never shown
His passion is known
As he picks up his pen
He travels to back then
To before he met pain
A place that will remain
In his mind for all time
Where a smile is no crime
A land that only he knows
Full of Broadway shows
Oh he misses those nights
Without the constant fights
As he writes his last line
His face starts to shine
Like he did in the past

I will Proceed

How do I ignore
All that I adore
My dreams scattered
As if I never mattered
Silence is all I receive
My words they deceive
Is it right or is it wrong?
Am I weak or am I strong
Once again silence prevailed
In their eyes I have failed
They shamefully point at me
As they curse who I want to be
Poetry is a hobby not a profession
Some called it a cruel obsession
I was taught to do my very best
I declined their every single request
Have I really made the wrong choice?
Silence will not mute my lonely voice

Spare Me Your Midsky Screaming

The domonant moonbeams and strong yellowy rays from outside in the busy street,

Shoot staight in through the curtains to glow vibrantly upon my walls,

But they still don't reach me,

All forms of vision and all my light are downed out underneath these heavy sheets,

Where I whimper bitter in the darkness - I cringe, curled up and reminisce,

Reinventing all those stupidly wasted moments and the millions of chances that I've missed,

 

And I pray all the way to Jesus that they'll come back to me.

Final Farewell

This I writ is my way of letting go, and living on It seems like just yesterday that you were here And, Now You'v taken your final farewell I'm here to wish you well, to say one final..I love you Remembering yesterday and remembering all we did And all we said And, Now Today is the day to say farewell and good-bye for now And, Not forever I will one day see you and you will see me And, Then That will be a day no tears will fall only smiles we will show Till then I will know forever and a dya You will be watching over me As a guardian angel Sent for me from heaven above Today my friend you've

Crossing The Merrimack

As I walk along the bridge I shiver,

all my life I’ve Known this river.

The stories of it’s glorious past,

away the good years gone so fast.

While once it was our power source

it’s now become a jogging course,

and since the Industrial Revolution

our river’s products have become pollution.
