I don’t blame you for the games you play. I gain truth from the view I see. Your eyes, your lies and how they keep you still. Your loneliness is your self-prescribed pill. I feel your intimacy from the shakes in your voice. Your speech contradicts your body’s tales, so poised. You’re annoyed by the things you do. How you seem to chase those you desire away from you. They want to stay but you fade…

I find myself floating in the darkness of your ecstasy. Caught up in the taste of your lust I let my every urge escape, leaving only my inhibitions. What’s the point in keeping these? I let them go. I see you as my only light. Not because you’re the warm comfort of my pleasures, no. You are my being, my everything. You break my silence and silence my heart-breaks. I thank you in kisses, I hurt in…

In the darkness, you see her face, as if darkness never existed. Sun-kissed, what a bliss, to see perfection not missing. Lips which make you wonder what it would be to get close. Yet, it’s the humility in her demeanor which will lure you most.

The essence of her presence, gives life to all, She inspires nature naturally, to breathe and stand tall. Tsehai! She wakes the world, this divine girl. We…

It's crazy, how; deep inside, we never grow up. We seem to only try to be more mature about the things that hurt us and be stronger when trials come our way, or find ways to evade these "needles in our emotions". However, the same things hurt us, our nightmares remain the same. Changing that; is not growing up, neither is it being more "adult". To make that great of a change, eliminating your fears for good and making those things that hurt you deep down no longer matter, is something way greater. That is something a few have ever mastered. It is the key to being truly happy, and at peace with yourself. How then do you do such a thing? Well, even I am yet to know. Furthermore, I don't think if I find out it should profit you much to hear how I did it. I think such a triumph is an individual journey. No one can take you there, no one can truly break down fears for you. YOU MUST CONQUER YOURSELF, YOU MUST TRANSCEND ON YOUR OWN. IT IS YOUR DECISION, AND YOUR JOURNEY.

I Need Your Help.

I’ve been away for a while due to me trying to focus on school. However, in an effort for me to continue my pursuit to my dreams, I call on you all. Time to get to know me a little better.

Greetings! I’m Chris, a Jamaican student currently studying at the University of the West Indies in Kingston aspiring for a bachelors degree in Software Engineering. I want to start a company which will open…

Flora Fire From the Fauna

Beaming, seeming, to lift myself from the scenery, of things young and childish, then appreciating greenery. See we, want to appreciate the water but not love the seaweed. I’ll listen to a female who’s a lady when she’s speaking.

Attention never stood long when I would confront it. It ran away, and I would run but just too unfit, In worldly athletics to hurdle all the invites of comfort. Still…

This is you. So pure and uncouth...

I don’t blame you for the games you play. I gain truth from the view I see. Your eyes, your lies and how they keep you still. Your loneliness is your self-prescribed pill. I feel your intimacy from the shakes in your voice. Your speech contradicts your body’s tales, so poised. You’re annoyed by the things you do. How you seem to chase those you desire away from you. They want to stay but you fade…
