for dad

loneliness overtaken by company

emptiness overtake by fulfillment

sorrow overtaken by joy

bitterness overtaken by optimism

butterflies, they flutter around

feeling queasy yet happy 

content to the highest level

my whole life you were there...

knowing i can live to be what i please

you make me smile day in and day out

with ever hug and embrace

every kiss and hold of a hand

every step of the way

letting me tumble hard 

so i learn not to fall

my whole life you were there...

chin up 

sit straight

love myself

and love you, then, now, and forever

overcast

clouds part

sun shines

skies blue

life brightens up and souls revive

people begin to rub theirs and awake

from the slumber of a cloudy day

responding to the warmth

sluggishly they walk out in to day

like coming out of hibernation 

they rejoice

its a lovely day.. a lovely day

Obama '08 and a next-day disappointment in my University

so im soooo happy beyond measure that i voted for the first african-american prez EVER!!!!

but waking up this morning to read the Daily Wildcat [school paper] i was sadden and somewhat offended by a political cartoon posted. the picture is added below.

the thing that angered me the most was that when a group of students confronted the editor, she acted as if she had no idea it was there, so that means she didn't even do her job as the editor in chief! quoting her "my best friend is black" claiming that since she has an african-american best friend that she is automatically off the hook. also to be treated as a joke by her, its an insult to the student body and to the african-american students on campus... 

Sleepless night

sleepless

reaching into the deep depths of my mind

searching

for sleep that has been winning at hide-n-seek

tired

i look up and see the moonlight shine through my blinds

beautiful

the white light shines so clear and serene 

wishing

that i could just float up on the cloud i call my pillow

reaching

out and feel the glow of the moon, hoping to lull me to sleep

drifting

in the emptiness of the space around me 

picking

two stars to have as earrings so i can forever have their glow

floating

I was some where between consciousness and a dream

grinning

I eased back into my bed slowly like  feather

swaying

in a motion, right and left, gone in the comfort of my blanket

sleeping

finally at ease, at rest, at peace

dreaming

of a moons glow and two stars shine

gone

goodnight

Void

when there is a void in your life...
how do you fill it?
when you have that thought deeeeeeeeeeeeeep back in your mind
so far back you dot even know whats bothering you
but you are indeed bothered
new world
new globe
new hair
new clothes
even bought a new fresh pair of Nikes
and ya got a good deal
75% off with a coupon
but ya still have that VOID stamp on your brain
like some one stealing your identity
but instead of trying to take your money
they are stealing parts of your life
or like when ya spouse tells you that they love you
when both of you know that it should have ended years ago
or even like when you own sibling is never there for you when ya need them
thats a void i can deal with but is this the same "V" word thats bothering me
lingering in my mead and never paying rent!
trudging away in my skull acting like it owns the place
some times i wonder if im strong enough of a landlord to stick up for my self
and kick void to the curb
but it makes me feel spineless
so i guess all i need is to keep drinking my milk for strong bones...
ya maybe that will work?
or i can be like that crazy lady throwing her "ex" boys clothes out the window screaming I HATE YOU for the whole neighborhood to hear
ya void .... im kicking you out today!
