LOVE ABANDONED USLabour with all my heart Love was reluctant I am without the opulence of your love Strangers we have became Awakened to who we are Meaningless are our conversations Love exiled my being Weep tears of despair Part of me that will not repair Desire does not fit Empty house, empty heart Love does not love Awkward silences, strangeness is present Exiting without latitude Breathing, grasping for air This love was restrictive Hollow promises, hollow promises Love had no place to call a home Changed the course of time Remnants of the love we owned Love abandoned us THE GREAT WINTER OF SACRIFICEThe cold Antarctica winds seem to expose the poverty Poverty that I held within Smile at the world with pain in my heart Precipitation on the frozen grounds Was it a gift from God It was a wonder ,a mystery The world knew my name Yet poverty lacerated the veins of my being The force of the Mephisto The lure of homelessness Face out of the water Winter was stifling,suffocating A torrent,swept the humanity out of me Misfortune was dancing the snow dance Solitary nights I bear the bane Wretchedness ,woe,and hades Stood in my divinity Freedom from doubt The sun will shine in the morning LETTERS FROM HOMEIn the deserted days
Where the sun is my champion And the blood thirsts for water I tell the rays what I miss the most Hear my breathing Sweat drip down my back My hands cracked from the labour Labour without gains Split the grounds to pass the hours Read the roads of my palms Roads that lead me back home Then I receive your letters Your words are like rain in the summer Comfort my blackened heart Feel the elevation of my spirit My people,the force of humanity I cannot pray to surrender my heaviness I cannot cry to release my sentence
