Can't We Just Love?
omnipoetry:
omni-poet:
Why can’t you say I love you Is love proved by words?
You never buy me things Is love measured in objects?
You never say that I’m beautiful Is love based on looks?
We never make love Is love just about sex?
You never talk to me Is love conversation?
You never… …love We never… …love You don’t ever… …love
Why can’t we just… …love

Graffiti
omni-poet:
A picture says a thousand words The city is my picture frame I speak through street corners Stencil, graffiti, spray paint, art They say it’s absurd Because its on the curb It’s defacing public property Am I not apart of the public Isn’t it my property I just want the public to see The lines, the shapes, the colors That lets me be so free So I’ll continue to run freely And let the art...

Strength
omni-poet:
People tend to think that strength is the absence of weakness. I like to think strength is the acceptance of weakness If its weak to cry. If its weak to accept defeat. If its weak to show emotion. Being strong would mean choosing the easy way out by hiding everything that makes us human. The strong cry. The strong accept defeat. The strong show emotion. It takes true strength to do...

My Reality: Suicide but Smiling on the Inside →
omni-poet:
I hate this state of turmoil so I grabbed a coil Tied it around my neck said what the heck Kicked the chair but while I was there Suspended in the air life almost seemed fair I felt the energy of each every memory So fluently as if my memories seduced me I smiled as I reminisced on that first kiss
