Lala Bird
I no longer look forward to your calls or text messages and can listen to our old song. I can drive by your mom’s place and our house, and for the first time since I lost you, I was able to go to our spot without breaking down. You were right, the way the old pond looked when it’s frozen over with a cap of snow. It's a perfect winter picture. The sunlight, glistening off the ice onto the flakes of snow, reminds me of the way your blue eyes would glisten when you were happy. Like the day we found out that you were pregnant with our son, your eyes were filled with so much joy, excitement, and terror. Still to this day one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.

Elder's Tree
In life as we grow, sadly, our loved ones pass away and all we have to remember them by is our memories and pictures. When I was five years old, I experienced my first loss when my dog Bear died from rabies. I was completely heartbroken because my grandparents got him as a puppy when I was just a babe. Bear and I grew up together, we were inseparable. When he passed, my grandfather told me to go back into the house, so that could prepare for Bear's immortal life. He planted a pear tree in front of the house, and told me that if we bury Bear in front of this tree, then he would live on within the tree. This way, he would live as long as the tree. Which outlives human lifetimes.

Virus APFFF
All you hear about on the news today is the Coronavirus and how bad it's getting. You hear about the quarantine and the rising number of the infected and deaths. What the media isn't telling you is the real ground zero, where the virus really originated from.

Soldier's Eyes
In a soldier's eyes, life and death are one and the same yet ourselves we blame. We refuse to let the tears fall, too proud, we stand too tall. Every night we hear the screams and cries from a past we can't bring to light. Every damn day It's another fight, the one I fear the most is the battle within. I try to follow the herd of cattle and sheep, yet I can never get enough sleep. Wake up putting on this fake face to be accepted in this place I once called home. Now I roam around hiding behind the tears of a clown.

Lost
Lost within and without, everyday living in doubt. In this pain, we scream and shout, even pray for you to stay yet there your body lays. Question my every move can’t help but feel the guilt, the pain now runs deep in my veins. Happiness keeps getting drained away due to all these damn deaths. Still feels as if you are here, on the other end of the phone telling me about your next big plain or you blasting the song I’m the man. Since you were taken way too soon I feel more and more insane, I just can’t understand any reason for the good to die young with a whole life ahead of them. All while assholes and jerks seem to live forever, this shit just fuels my anger.

America's Message
America first is today's message yet we aren't much on assemblage. Now more than ever it seems our country has lost its heritage. People chatting in the streets even athletes getting attacked for practicing their free speech. Hell, you can even get attacked because of what you eat. It's a sad time for our nation mostly because we can't trust the government administration. Somehow we are getting lost in this civilization and everyone has their thoughts on the reason. There are some who say it's due to socialism, capitalism, or even Fascism. Soon they'll start yelling absolutism. Until the day comes where we can come together there's no way we can become better.

Just Dreaming
They came from the sky as in my bed I lay awaken by lights and sounds. My eyes quick to open but what I see I'm uncertain. Strange creatures all around me. They not man or beast, either way I demanded to be released. When I spoke fear grew upon their face as in a phase of stroke. I was at that time provoked because the situation was unclear. Have I now been abducted? Why is everything so candid? A female creature says to me soon you'll be free. As the lights grew brighter I could no longer see my abductor. Then a loud sound broke over it all as from the sky I began to fall. Once again I awaken slightly shaken and confused. But to my amuse the alarm clock was ringing and all this time I was just dreaming.

Hammer and Nail
There's always a hammer and a nail, those who succeed and those who fail. It's all about how you can handle the hell you’ve been through. Some are too scared to fall on their face while the ones who succeed greets the ground with brace. Life often gets called a race but to me it's more like fight. No matter what you're dodging a left or a right.

My Mission
So many want to rise to the top, but can't bare the hate, so they stop. They dream of being a legend but they're too scared to leave the flock. Not understanding you'll drop like a rock on the road to success. Those who truly want to be the best don't act like the rest. I want the thunder because I'm filled with that ache and hunger to be top dog.

That Feeling
You know that feeling you get when you look into her eyes, it's so alluring. Driving the inner lust turning the thoughts to one of an amorist. They light the flames of your desire like an arsonist for hire. Together climbing new heights like Everest spirituality soaring past satellites. So prepossessing the cause of hearts racing. With each kiss you swear she's a goddess, hair luscious and rare as Atlantis. She moves every step with pure grace while heaven’s glow is upon her face. Aphrodite would gladly take her place for she's among the stars viewed as astrology. In her presents you become breathlessly for she is the definition of heavenly.

Heavenly Love
Heaven is always a dream away but with you in my arms it's in that moment I'll pray to stay. When it comes to you I'm under an enchantment. Love getting lost into your doe eyes they render me immobilized. Skin with a natural sun rise glow forever bright as a winter's snow. So beautiful like an actress in your own television show. Even when your hair is a mess my true love for you I confess. Every day with you is a new discovery about life itself, having you as my wife I truly won the lottery. You are a true angel sent from above and saved my soul from hell with your love.
