metaphorically
i write to empty the tears in my pen
i write to hatch the eggs of lifes hen
legacy
i write to empty deep chambers of hell
i write so to my life there is a sequel
reality
i write so over action thoughts prevail
i write married to words i remove her veil
hence
i write flowing with thoughts as words set sail
i write for you....your heart can tell

I write coz bad thoughts haunt me
My brain has become a platform for street atrocities in large territories
How can I free myself from black horror?
How can I let go the memories of my eye lids
How can I forget the last cry of a bullet-sprayed at an innocent tax payer?
How can I uncover the embedded layers of negative tongues spilling nasty words in talk?
Just how can I release the moisture of this dark cloud at the fertile part of my soul
…without giving it all away to the pen and the paper?
I guess that’s why eye right to my right hand man, the pen like the mic (from Seraph)
Like scriptures alike! I write coz I liberate my convictions and uphold my visions
not illusions :!:

we write so one day the earth will have a witness
to confess of the atrocities that leak upone us like broken housetops.
we write for minds that could only find freedom in words.
them that could only express deep emotion inbetween pages.
we write to draw the line between right and wrong,
to alarm eternity of the bitterness of mortality.
to remember the dead by celebrating the greatness of living.
yes they write, but i write imortalize the sword of poetry,
for we write both the past and the present with the ink of our thoughts.

i write cause revolution had me summoned
to illustrate how the earth cries with rain drops
how its heart breaks in forms of earthquakes.
if you have never seen pain,then you ought to grab a rain drop
and just maybe you will write cause even the universe cries
for poets to share there knowledge.

I write to discover the wonders of the mind
for as thoughts flows with a blow, like the wind
...does over hidden graveyards!
secrets of the past are slowly revealed.

I write as the body that, mind and soul wish to grasp,
im a wishers wishing breath
i write whole in bits of bits
i remind time, ressurect from death,
and summon futures to note, so in short im every ascentions day

I write
To find and strike the balance of my emotions and freedom,
to let my light shine and warm you with wisdom,
to be the salt of your soul because you are the earth,
I write because this life is a gift of my poetic birth.

my pen bleeds sacrificial ink so I recite to be heard.

When I write
I capture thoughts
Click, click
And turn my mind into a darkroom
Took all the negatives around me
The paradigm shift
This thoughts now on paper
Beautiful imagery
