Free

Free.

 Free from the tyranny that chained my heart
free from the hate that had left its mark
free from the wars that were fought for my soul 
free from the conflicts in my mind not letting me go
free from the colors that is my skin
free from the violence that I was in
free from the hunger that I felt
free from the life that I was dealt
free from the addiction in my veins
free from the ashes in the flames
free from the ghost in my past
free from the love that did not last
free from the greed from which we breed
free from the power we did not need
free from the boundaries that cage us in
free from the races that should have never began
free from the cross from which we hang 
free from the ancestors in where came
free from the world that divides us all
free from the blindness that we saw
free from the bloodshed that we bleed
free from the people that think we need
free from the ones that create despair
free from the smoke that fills our air 
free from the evils of our sin

 FREE TO BELIEVE THAT LOVE WILL WIN!

I love you more

I love you more You may not know it yet but you will one day because I love you more than when the sun sets and the moon rises over us while we are laying on a blanket on the sand underneath us making love by the fire at the beach. Yes it is true I love you more than all the stars in the skies at night I love you more than you think I might I love you more than time itself with forever as a start I love you more every day no matter where you might be at I love you yes even more than you could ever see I love you more than the highest mountain peak I love you more than the deepest blue sea I love you longer than the longest yard I love your body from your head to your toes I love your mind, heart, and soul I love you more than anyone until the day I die then I will love you more from down below or way up high I love you more than when the lights are on I love you more when the lights go off I love you more in your dreams when you sleep at night I love you more and more after every fight

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all and we all matter bi
