A simple four letter word

Love, a simple four letter word
why then is it so difficult for me to describe
Love, a simple four letter word
why then to people question its intent everyday
Love, a simple four letter word
why then do we search for it all our lives
Love, a simple four letter word
why then does it bring so many to their demise
Love, a simple four letter word
why then do so few understand it
Love, a simple four letter word
why then does it bring so much pain
Love, a simple four letter word
how then does it bring so much joy
Love, a simple four letter word
how then does it fulfill every desire
Love, a simple four letter word
how then are we so intrigued by it
Love, a simple four letter word
how then it does it turn a frown into a smile
Love, a simple four letter word
how then is it so powerful
Love, a simple four letter word
how then does one long for it so
Love is not a simple four letter word

A nation of arrogant immigrants

Let me preface this entry by saying that I wrote this one day after having spend some time trying to renew my green card that I had managed to misplace.


I slept her last night in front of the INS
on the hard concrete in the cold no less
this nation if full of immigrants
but treats newcomers with zeal
their ignorance or perhaps arrogance
they don't care to see
night after night three hundred to four hundred line up around the block
some of them like me have been here since last night eight o' clock
people that got here at four have been waiting ever since
it is six now shamefully at four today they won' t have gotten in
people all around me have told me they
take usually at most 50 a day
Is it me or would make sense to change this operation in some way
the people here are nice enough they are just doing their job
its those members of Congress that were elected that sit right on top
they have the power to create change
but would they bother
I can't vote and neither can you
so our concerns don't matter...

A friend

Life has a strange way of showing us light
in our worse state showing us how to fight
we survive through it all
from the day we start to walk and fall
I saw today in the eyes of my friend fear
I could have sworn I even saw a tear
be he maintained his composure and grace
he still managed to crack a smile on his face
what can I say we are all built to survive
to suceed in whatever we do we strive
I have to say today I have learned
that little mistakes in life will leave you burned
just keep in mind life is day to day
just enjoy it and play...

some random thoughts

A Bland Idiot
An Empty Book Of Pages
A life Lacking in Experience
No expression in the many faces
A lack of “spice” in conversation
An inability to listen and to remember things from the day
No clear idea of what or how to say
The feelings that don’t really exist
Accept but in a written journal
Yes I suppose I must be a bland idiot
Or is the characterization true to the one who made it…

Pleasure or Pain
Flight or Fight
Treasure or Disdain
Day or Night
Love or Hate
Life or Death
Choice or Fate
no regret....

This journey is so inviting
it has lead many astray
this journey is so pleasant
it has made many know not what to say
this journey is so desirable
it has made many loose their way
This journey is so beautiful
it has left many in dismay
This journey is a mirage
This journey is love ...

How does one define pain
the sky turns dark gray
Adults start to pray
a kid runs across the street
hoping to avoid the crashing sheet
there is no avoiding today
he feels so pelted lost in a sense of disarray
in the corner waves crash and shatter a boat tied to a rope
with it they take something they take something that once brought hope
a car loses control and runs into a store
only to be followed by even more
the noise is ubearable and deafening
the sight so gory yet intriguing
how does one define pain
how does one define pelting rain
how does one define a hurricane
by defining the pain of a broken lover's heart
