Have you heard her story?
LisTEN
My father done left me gone
My mom parties too long
My grandmother keeps me safe
but her drinks are way too strong.
-------Mothers please take care of your children and fathers please be there to carry your family. As soon as you bring a child into this world is no longer about you alone, its about you and how you will impact your child's life. Together or not, married or divorced the moral of the story is that the children do not have to suffer for the lack of understanding between you both. Give them your undivided attention and please be aware, thank you.
"Next time you see me PLEASE take the time to listen, I know that i don't know much but I can make some sort of sense" - Her
I just wanna to get away....
FrEEDOM
I wish to one day grow wings
Stare at my imagination
and reach for it high on a swing
Away myself from now
Secretly discovering later
Complimented by a chaotic wow!
-------I HEART New York
NEW YORK :: NEW YORK
I <3 New York
Concrete jungle
Contrived with sky scrapers
Grazing the skies above
Tormenting protective Gods.
It's rumble filled streets
Congested with Taxis of gold
With lucrative meters running you broke.
New York, New York
The city that never sleeps
Distancing men from dream
Wide awake, day dreams
Opportunity rivers with many streams.

Just wanna get away....
WaSH AWAY
Drench me oh old sea
Take me further then here
Away from what I can see
Wet me clean from boredom
Explore beyond your shore
Lets knock on freedom's door

You to Me, drug.
Deep in me, addict
Away from actual
I keep you, secret.
Pressure me, peer
Actual from, fact
Drive me crazy
Guide as I steer.

Have you seen her....
THE one & ONLY
I wish to hold you next
Pull you closer than near.
Away from there,
I hate that you're never here.
Feel me from a far if you can
Lonely moons remaining constant
I await you in my life as a stain.
Mark me yours
Own what deeply wants you more
Peace it together from lonely wars

PReSENTATION
A man should always present himself with class, expose his best qualities. But in order to get a message across you must always appear lavishly. Even when homeless, something clean always catches the attention of your listener(s).

Living: Chance
CHANCE
Life :: Now :: After
"Don't DISCOVER Life through DEATH. YOU must live to discover more of it"
by: Aristo Dos Santos
-------Life: Coming of age
THE OLD
They loved :: They Cared :: Adored Us
The Good 'Ol Days
Remember those days
When you lived without a care?
Our Grandparents were always there
We were free, they let us do it all
Even when our parents gave us
Their intimidating stare.
But now,
It's a different story being told
They no longer move like they once did
They have grown old.
Now they need our help
Going up the stairs they chased us on
So return the favor,
Take good care of them in every step
Help them be strong.

Life: Abortion
ABORTION
LIFE :: YOU :: DEATH
Dedicated to someone close to me...
Only you can decide.
Abortion
Nervous we hold our breath
While pressing life against death.
Emotions run,
Lovers. Coming together
Discovering changes later.
Choices to be made,
Out of love time chases late
Denial, discoveries of self hate.
Turning tables going round
Guilty with no one around.
Abortion,
Is a hate full sound
Thought twice before we mention.
-------Writer's Message,
I'm not the one to point fingers, one's decision is their own. If a woman decides to either abort or keep their seed all I can do is support them no matter what. A hug or a shoulder if needed. So keep strong and let no one judge you for we all have a reason. But I ask you to stand firm behind your choice, make your peace with it, and discover the rest of your life with no regrets.
"All in all, God bless. Because he still loves you" - Aristo Dos Santos

LIfe: When your Hero falls....
UnSUNG HERO
Unsung Hero
Strangers with strange
Behaviors of caring.
Volunteer heroes
Part time workers
Activists against staring.
Kept from
Working to survive 9-5
Awaiting notices of eviction
Poor by taxation standards
In brackets of low life.
Heart driven
Proud to be just without
Recognition.
God bless he who heroes
Even when never recognized
Without a prize given.
Unsung Hero!

Life: it gets hard...
And SO, WE CRY
You Cry :: I Cry :: We Cry
When I cry I feel guilty, staining my face wet smothering it away from dry. I tend to hide away from smiles that are fake as I get tired of pretending. Alone is my biggest fear, mending my personal sores behind closed doors. I'm sorry if I part your heart with my sad, but being human is my hardest battle as I struggle to keep composure. But I keep strong for those around me, I give them hope when most needed. They never suspect me weak, I protect them from the lack of hero I carry in me.

My Love
In my heart a place
Where love resides.
Kept alive for one to share
Broken before, but it never dies.
Away from skin, my love is deep
True to lovers it never cheats.

“For Those You Love and Adore”
Dear, You Lovers
In my understanding love is whatever you make out of your feelings revolutionized by respect. One who respects is fair, for without respect between pairs all is lost. My advice? Love accordingly, and remember that just because you love them and they love you back it doesn't mean that it cant all be ruined. It's called reality, deal with it.
Between you and I: "Boyfriends and Girlfriends, be friends towards your special someone first and don't suffocate them as if you own them or as if you guys are married already"

Life: Mad HOUSE
UNCOMFORTABLE
Alone :: Life :: Scary
Uncomfortable
Gates closed
Freedom no longer
Deeper within
Weaker, not stronger.

CuPid Poetry
“For Those You Love and Adore”
Mad House....
I press against its walls while they beat against me, in its rooms full of empty I try to find a friend away from crowds deep within myself. Windows of doubt compliment these troublesome walls, I close my eyes blinding them through dreams deriving from a freedom sense. Flickering lights, I stand alone in living rooms once shared by broken families, abusive words stain its carpets. Markings on doorways measurements of low self esteems remaining never tall, I trip over adversity hitting my forehead on the dreadful confucious coffee table spilling my positive thoughts splashing the wooden floors wet. I struggle rest my head, laying on concrete couches as I badly ache out of comfort. The tea cattle sprouts, further sounding swear words looking to drench quite personnels with loud vulgar attitudes.

LIFE: With Speed
CRASH
Speed :: Life :: No Where
Demise
Slowly I'm fading
My thoughts escape my mental
without a care for my ending.
-------
Aristo Dos Santos
CuPid Poetry
“For Those You Love and Adore”
In life sometimes we rush, to nowhere of course. Stubborn, we choose to follow different paths away from a destined course, zooming past needed opportunities guided by desires of wanted lusts instigated by stupidity. Time runs along with us, making us late every single second as she always arrives on time. We excuse ourselves with stereotypical remarks hoping to ease disappointment upon us, but in reality just bringing ourselves down as a race or group we belonged to. Running over our child hood dreams we crash into reality awakening us as individuals lacking sense.

Life: After great company, we experience alone.
LiFE
Friends :: Alone :: Depressed
Kid CuDi
Finding Me
I find myself alone
Sitting on a thought
Leaning on my imagination.
I speak of words that are quiet
and I mumble ideas of love. Silent.
Contradiction
Perhaps one’s addiction
I choose left from right
Breaking my rules
Then reassured by guilty citations.

Aristo Dos Santos
CuPid Poetry
“For Those You Love and Adore”
Look at life as so, a start and a finish line and whatever you make out of the time in between stamp it as LiFE!. There is no right way of living life away from harmful ways, elude yourself from crowds to re-assure your position in it. Happy should always be found deep within, hate should be ignored and adventurous should be explored as a MUST.

Part. III
Abused :: Sacared :: Damaged Good
ABUSER
Love he who desires
Tell the truth when questioned is your love
Boast of the one you love in circles of jealous liars.
Hate he who loves them, they love
Anger when pushed to states of evanescent insanity
One must Love before granted to hate, its reality.
Transgression of affection
Lack of paying careful attention.
When in harmony,
I hold her against my heart
Love journeys from me to her as I clasp her dear.
Misbehaving,
I grasp her soul by her neck
Growing closer to my full being, near
I teach her a lesson with every shed tear.
For her,
Comfort is only understood when out of
So I show her my worst
Hiding no secrets from, loyal I lambaste her first
Reassuring her of all she has in me, my soul thirsts.
Questioned,
Only she understands my love
Rough around the edges, kind with a blunt blind
To us being happy we have sworn
But when she gets out of line, her promise torn.
She understands my reasons of why
Feel free in asking her,
Only I can shelter her from life’s cry.
Leave us alone, we’re just fine.

“For Those You Love and Adore”
Having four little sister, it hurts my heart to hear of any woman that is put in an unsafe position. The sad part is that some of them choose to stay while others are just so broken that they cant even find the will to exit. You don't have to stay, there are organizations out there willing to help.
Remember:
"Love does not harm and happiness doesn't hurt. He who loves should never harm you, and he should never make you hurt away from happy"
