Cords to my soul,
a melody unique.
Escaping time and space
replaying your voice.
The rhythm altering,
wandering unsatisfied.
Guarded from pain,
destabilized worlds.
Interations of ourselves,
two stars colliding.
Dancing across the cosmos,
hearts beating as one.
Secrets shared,
fears slipping.
Laughter filled wounds,
admiration in ourselves.
Fed with science,
joined in essence.
Wet with satisfaction,
lingering inside me.
Never to come together again,
destined only for a moment.

Seven schools before high school began,
Last in a small town, I hoped, had a plan.
But the false sense of security was strong,
And nobody noticed what was going on.

Small towns may seem like a safer place,
But the danger lurks promises of saving grace.
Perhaps our poverty made it hard to see,
The risks that surrounded my family and me.

Reliance on men, abuse, and violence,
Made it hard to focus on life’s importance.
PTSD crept in, a silent thief,
And I sought refuge in books and my grief.

Co-dependency bred from insecurity,
With friends in parallel poverty.
We found solace in each other’s love,
praying and trying not to succumb.

Small Cities and towns, across the land,
Reflect the struggles that we face firsthand.
Statistical evidence, a call for change,
To intervene and help those in range.

As a scientist, I bring my voice,
A plea for action, a solemn choice.
My story, a drug affair,
Is just one of many, a burden we share.

Witnessing addiction’s impact,
From Southeast Asia to West Africa’s fact,
Illicit drugs, a global industry,
Costing billions, and destroying humanity.

Despite our country’s trillion-dollar fight,
Drug use still lingers, a painful sight.
Education, advertising, and police in school,
Little progress made, we must change the rule.

My friend’s disappearance,
A mother, lost in drug interference.
Generations lost to the system,
promises broken, no savior, politics limited.

My soul is tired, broken and lost,
what is there to do, greed at any cost.
Speaking the truth is not rewarded,
My quotes repeatedly misworded.

Now my son is growing up in this world,
the battle is not in the streets, in in our homes.
We are the first to cast the stones,
and the first suffer as they postpone.

The heart beats faster, the mind races,
As a new feeling takes hold in its embraces.
The beginning of love, a feeling so pure,
Excitement and opportunity, knocking at the door.

Eyes meet, hearts skip a beat,
The air is electric, with a spark so sweet.
A new chapter begins, a story to be told,
A future so bright, a life yet to unfold.

The world seems brighter, colors more vibrant,
As two hearts intertwine, the feelings defiant.
A promise of forever, whispered in the air,
A bond so strong, nothing can compare.

As time passes by, the love ebs and flows,
In each other’s arms, the heart only knows.
The excitement of love, a feeling so rare,

Waking up one day, to find the warmth had gone,
The love shared, now feeling so alone.
The passion once had, a distant memory,
Leaving us both, feeling so empty.

So let the heart lead, and the mind follow,
As love takes hold, let your worries go.
Embrace the excitement, and the opportunity,
As love begins, a new journey of unity.

He sat across from her, his heart aching,
The words he needed to say, slowly breaking.
He knew it wouldn’t be easy to explain,
But he had to tell her, it couldn’t remain.

Their love had once burned bright,
But now it was shrouded in a dimming light.
He struggled to find the right words to say,
To tell her that their love had lost its way.

He looked into her eyes, filled with pain,
And with a heavy heart, he began to explain.
“This relationship we have, it isn’t sustaining,
The love we once shared, it’s slowly draining.”

She tried to hide the tears in her eyes,
As he spoke, her heart shattered into a thousand lies.
She knew deep down what he was saying was true,
But it still hurt so much, to know they were through.

He starts each relationship with passion and fire,
But soon the spark fades, and he’s caught in the mire.
He searches for love, but never seems to find,
The one who ignites his heart and his mind.

He meets someone new, and the feelings rush in,
The excitement, the promise, a new love to begin.
But after a while, the interest starts to wane,
And he’s left with the question of why love can’t sustain.

They speak of justice, of the rule of law,
but their actions show they only care about what they saw.
Their privilege blinds them to the truth,
that the system is rigged against people of youth.
They believe in equality, but only for themselves,
ignoring the struggles of those on the bottom shelves.

As the police officer takes their sons away,
they scream and shout, but it’s all in vain.
Their privilege has shielded them from this fate,
and so they fail to empathize with those who can’t escape.
But until they see the systemic oppression,
they’ll continue to ignore this vital lesson.
And so we must keep fighting, keep shouting out loud,
until justice is served and the system is unbound.

We cannot remain silent, we must speak up and act,
to break the chains of injustice and systemic impact.
We must listen and learn from those who suffer the most,
and stand in solidarity until every person can boast
of equal treatment and opportunity for all,
regardless of their skin color, religion, or call.
We must hold ourselves accountable for our privilege and power,
and use it to uplift those who need it in this hour.
It’s time to dismantle the structures that keep us apart,
and work towards a world where justice reigns in every heart.

Before you were born, a small cluster of cells formed,
A world of possibilities, yet to be adorned.
In the womb, you grew and thrived,
Awaiting the day when you’d arrive.

Birth as light, you scream for air,
Leaving the safety of your mother’s lair.
A new world awaits, full of sights and sounds,
As you take your first steps on earthly grounds.

Your journey begins, with each passing day,
As you grow and learn, and find your way.
Challenges and triumphs, joys and tears,
As you navigate this world for many years.

But always remember, before you were born,
A small cluster of cells, a new life formed.
And as you walk through life’s unknowns,
Know that you’re not alone, and you’ve always had a home.

You grow and learn, with every day anew,
From crawling to walking, and tying your shoe.
Your mother’s love, a constant guide,
Leading you through life’s uncertain tide.

Her gentle touch and soothing voice,
A loving presence, in which you rejoice.
She nurtures and cares, with every breath,
Her love for you, stronger than death.

And as you grow older, and venture out on your own,
You’ll never forget, the love that’s shown.
From the moment you were formed, until the end of time,
Your mother’s love, a constant and unwavering sign.

Maybe she was only meant to be loved by many and not to love any. She often wondered what the meaning of love really was. It’s something she yearned to know, to have, cherish, and submerse herself in, but deep down she knew what love meant. Love, for her, would always be sacrifice.

She had tried many times to love and be loved return. When men fell for her, it was for her mystique, luminescent and shameless. When she walked into a room, everyone was instantly calmer, had more hope for the future. She could make the most anxious find ease in deep into their souls. Her smile had the perplexing ability to induce euphoria without permission.

She made men feel important. She was the ultimate trophy and everyone knew it. Only the strong could manage to reel her in, keep her intellectual engaged, and get her to submit between the sheets. It’s the final submission that men found the most exciting. Hungry, these men made moves to swoon her. When she finally gave attention to them, they would sport her beauty on their arm, in cars, and at dinners. He wanted all the others to know that he won the competition.

But love, for her, was not a competition. She knew the games men played, the sweet nothings whispered in her ear, the promises made and broken. And so, she remained guarded, not willing to give up her heart to just anyone.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to love, but rather that she didn’t want to lose herself in the process. She had seen too many women lose their identity in the pursuit of love, become a shadow of who they once were. She refused to let that happen to her.

Instead, she poured her love into her passions and pursuits. She found joy in creating, in exploring the world around her, in learning new things. She realized that love didn’t have to come from another person, but could be found within herself.

And so, she continued on her journey, open to love if it came her way, but content in her own company. She knew that she was meant for great things, and that love would come in its own time. Until then, she would live her life to the fullest, unencumbered by the expectations of others.

She had always been independent, never relying on anyone for emotional or financial support. But deep down, she knew that love could change all that. She wanted to experience the warmth of someone’s embrace, to have someone to share her life with, to grow old with. She wanted a partner who would be her equal, someone who could challenge her and inspire her to be the best version of herself.

She knew that finding love was not going to be easy, but she was willing to take the risk. She was prepared to go through heartbreak and disappointment if that was what it took to find the one who would make her heart sing. For her, love was not a game to be won or lost, but a journey to be embraced. She was ready for the adventure, ready to let her heart lead the way.

Your words are tangled and confused,
Your thoughts are muddled, your soul abused.
She speaks of cosmic energies and divine intervention,
But her words lack clarity and clear intention.

Your mind is clouded by doubt and fear,
Your heart is heavy, your path unclear.
She search for answers in the stars above,
But forget to look inside for the answers you love.

The truth is not found in cryptic rhymes,
But in the way you live your life, in these troubled times.
So let go of your doubts and fears,
And face the truth with courage, wipe away her tears.

For in the end, it’s not the words you say,
But the way you live your life, day by day.
So live your life with purpose and grace,
She’s waited for you through time and space.

Open up your heart and let love in,
Embrace the beauty of life and begin
To see the world with eyes anew,
And find the peace that resides in you.

Let go of the past and its hold,
And cherish the present, a gift to behold.
For time is fleeting, moments fleeting,
And life is too precious for any mistreating.

So dance with joy, sing with glee,
Let your spirit soar, let yourself be free.
And in the midst of life’s ups and downs,
Remember to always keep your feet on the ground.

For in this journey, we all have a role to play,
And we can make a difference, in our own little way.
So let your light shine, with all your might,
And make the world a better place, with her love and light.

His hands reach for her face combing through her hair releasing moans of pleasure from between her lips. His lips silence her sounds of lovemaking, lush and soft, vibrations escape the edges into the atmosphere. Diving into her was his only desire.

Their bodies entwined in a dance of ecstasy, lost in a moment that felt like eternity. She knew that this was where she belonged, in his arms, feeling his love. Nothing else mattered. The world could crumble around them, but as long as they had each other, they would be okay.

Their bodies moved together in perfect synchronization, their heartbeats pounding in unison. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear, his breath hot against her skin. She shivered with delight, wanting nothing more than to stay in this moment forever.

As they lay there, spent and satisfied, she knew that she had found her soulmate. Someone who saw her for who she truly was, flaws and all, and loved her anyway. Someone who made her feel alive in a way that she had never experienced before.

As they held each other, wrapped up in the warmth of their embrace, she knew that this was only the beginning. Their love was just starting to blossom, and she couldn’t wait to see where it would take them next. She closed her eyes and smiled, feeling truly grateful for this moment and for the love that they shared.

Something that couldn’t be replicated or replaced. Their love was a force to be reckoned with, a blazing fire that burned brighter with each passing moment. It was a love that would withstand any obstacle, any challenge that life could throw their way.

As the night wore on and the first light of dawn began to peek through the windows, they knew that they had to face the reality of the outside world. But for that moment, they were content to simply be in each other’s arms, basking in the afterglow of their love.

They both knew that they were meant to be together, and that nothing could ever come between them. They closed their eyes and fell asleep, their hearts beating as one. Cast beyond the shallow confines of his mind was her face. He carried her picture around everywhere just as he did in his heart.

For fear of losing what we cherish,
We take risks and make bold moves.
We stand up for what we believe in,
And we do what it takes to prove.

But sometimes that fear can consume us,
And we lose sight of what’s right.
We forget that love should unite us,
And instead, we choose to fight.

If we can acknowledge our fear,
And understand where it comes from.
We can use it to fuel our love,
And create a world that’s not so numb.

For fear may be driven by love,
But love is what gives us strength.
And when we work together in harmony,
We can go to incredible lengths.

Fear can also be a tool
Used to control and manipulate
To make us think we’re not enough
And to keep us in a confined space

We fear failure and rejection
And often hold ourselves back
But when we learn to face our fears
We find strength we never knew we had

Sometimes fear can be irrational
And cause us to imagine the worst
But by facing our fears head on
We can break free from that curse

Fear can also teach us
To be more compassionate and kind
To reach out to others in need
And to keep an open mind

So embrace your fears with courage
And let them guide you to your dreams
For in facing them with love and hope
You’ll find that nothing’s as it seems.

Without you, I’m no longer efficient or productive
Time no longer makes sense, it’s destructive
Dripping down like the rain on my window sill
Cold and grey, your absence is a bitter pill

But when you’re with me, time slips endlessly
No longer just something that passes relentlessly
It’s defined by moments, enveloped in you
To be cherished like the sun, seen through your eyes so true

Your embrace beckons me to a faraway place
The beat of your heart pressed against my ear, slow breathing in pace
We lose ourselves in this magical dimension
Immersed to the core, lost in the enchantment

The time slips from our grasps and enchanted faces
As each day fades into laughter, leaving no traces
We are free to live and love, unbounded by time
A timeless moment, forever sublime.

Our love is a journey, a voyage through time,
A quest for meaning, a rhythm and rhyme,
We dance to the beat of our hearts in sync,
And let our souls intermingle and link.

Through trials and tribulations, we hold each other tight,
And embrace the darkness, as we see the light,
We know that together, we can conquer all,
And never let our love falter or fall.

With you by my side, I am whole and complete,
My heart skips a beat, each time our eyes meet,
I feel the warmth of your love, like the sun on my skin,
And know that with you, I can face anything.

So let time lie, and let it define the lines,
For our love is timeless, and forever entwined,
We’ll continue to journey, through the ups and the downs,
And cherish every moment, until time runs out.
