Word Power

there is something I wanted to say,

if only you listen to my thoughts,

words are confusing me, can't rest my mind on what I feel,

my emotions twist my words around,

I can't think back, it is not what it was supposed to be,

why did you not respond to my actions?

actions speak in gestures,

words speak in symbols,

the matter of truth is misspelled,

let us speak in honesty,

you cannot begin to understand,

what I am trying to say is...

I can benefit from the exposure.

I write poetry as a form of expression

and I feel I have a need to have

my voice heard. I use personal experience

to communicate with the audience

through the images of expressing

metaphors, analogies and emotions

I reflect on cultural experience

to explicate meaning to passionate words

that describe a state of being

found poems using words

taken from text

analogies, poetic themes used poems

words based on personal experiences

translate words from other languages

compared from Shakespeare analytical antidotes.

my voice to tell a story to create images

to create emotions that give life

knowledge in relating a message

about personal conviction

about how I relate to life

to my struggle.

I use talent to address problems

of the people behind it

that make others understand me

I am poet

I make a difference

in my voice

Poetry is the mirror image of perfection:

Its meaningful text, burns words for eternity.

World Terrorism

terror standing idol

clear eyed

touching watching staring

in the eyes of fate

its escape

its flow

its fire

waiting

the memory of waking stones

recognizes promise

death does not say

speechless stones

cover ashes scattering

in the air

weeping tears

counting ghosts

the dark whispers for

instructions

lessons learned have gone gone goodbye

without notice without consent

weeping eyes

have wept meaning

speechless for words

cold unspoken words
