Seedlings
( after Edna St Vincent Millay )
First Seedling
Love is to the Spirit
as a seedling to earth—
both take root and flourish;
or, wither on rocky soil
Second Seedling
You can hide your candle under a bushel;
but, risk burning your entire abode. . .

Family Survival
You love your family
but certain members
get on your last nerve
that you ended up
pushing your anger
deep down inside the
pit of your stomach
trying to survive
so that your anger
doesn't make you
rage out and come back
and bite you in the ass
but certain members
get on your last nerve
that you ended up
pushing your anger
deep down inside the
pit of your stomach
trying to survive
so that your anger
doesn't make you
rage out and come back
and bite you in the ass

Time and Its False Hope of Healing
Milestones have come and gone.
I’ve survived when others haven’t.
Guilt feels as heavy as the coffin for which I was meant.
I pine for the me that once was.
Gone; with no hope for she that once walked with a light tread.
Wretched words of hope and prayer- oh! I wish you knew how stupid and empty it all sounded!
Like an echo through an underpass.
Hollow and reverberating.
With bitterness and disdain I tolerated well wishes.
With time this will get better-
the most vitriolic expression!
My safe little corner, my haven...
I’ve survived when others haven’t.
Guilt feels as heavy as the coffin for which I was meant.
I pine for the me that once was.
Gone; with no hope for she that once walked with a light tread.
Wretched words of hope and prayer- oh! I wish you knew how stupid and empty it all sounded!
Like an echo through an underpass.
Hollow and reverberating.
With bitterness and disdain I tolerated well wishes.
With time this will get better-
the most vitriolic expression!
My safe little corner, my haven...

Model for Me
You have what I want
You like showing off too
Show me almost everything
Not all
Keep me dangling
Mess up my head
A man will do almost anything for sex
I don’t want sex
It’s arousal that’s da bomb
What are you waiting for ?
Show me the way
Your way
You like showing off too
Show me almost everything
Not all
Keep me dangling
Mess up my head
A man will do almost anything for sex
I don’t want sex
It’s arousal that’s da bomb
What are you waiting for ?
Show me the way
Your way

IT'S SO HARD TO TRUST
Through the cycles of your life stories, there will come a time when you put your heart and soul out there, as you take a leap of faith and trust someone. Base on trust and honor and devotion and respect, as you slowly begin to unlock the very core of your spiritual soul and heart. For it is through those life's experiences, when we are tested in so many ways yet there seems to be something, hiding behind the mask of honesty and truth and trust. For even though you love them with all your heart and soul, that feeling that grabs at the pit of your gut, screams within the depth of your...

chaos rules
seethe in sapphire
asphyxiate the bitter haunted thoughts
don't let them take breath on the morrow
seize temptation a viper ready to strike
spit realizations under the guise of revelations
the unveiling will happen whether you will it or not
undulate truths know your God woman
come eye to eye with the brutal whoremonger
don't underestimate his power
the secret society of elitist bigots
under the cover of darkness
their desire is to crumble humanity from the inside out

My Rose
Mm… my silken rose petals, caressing the softness, of my supple skin
The pillow of his desires where, “Passion’ becomes ecstasies’ greatest sin
Replace in your mind …the whispers of his sultry wishes
Oo…my love, take my breath away, with your tender enchanting kisses
Mmm… pleasure felt… making my temple melt
In the abyss…. of my moisten nature
My soul I bare unto you, worshipping me with your gentle hands
Laying on my back, fingers snaking deep inside me ….as they wickedly dance
Closing my eyes, your thoughts, roaming seductively over me

Nameless Gods
The days clouds creating shattering, shadowing furnaces,
None of us could stand so close
To your ceiling an ocean, eyes of a lid in glowing coal
Tempering a fragile strange stare, an old awe,
Glassware that was passed to us
When we were young,
Looking up so frail,
They rise to their grave,
Harbour in the sky
In the bolt of an eye
The godly sins where sunshine ends,
The things you say with the fury you took in the fall
Nameless gods put up your road block,
Play your show and roar
How could we kneel?
How...
None of us could stand so close
To your ceiling an ocean, eyes of a lid in glowing coal
Tempering a fragile strange stare, an old awe,
Glassware that was passed to us
When we were young,
Looking up so frail,
They rise to their grave,
Harbour in the sky
In the bolt of an eye
The godly sins where sunshine ends,
The things you say with the fury you took in the fall
Nameless gods put up your road block,
Play your show and roar
How could we kneel?

A Different Degree
you may very well find
a completely different
degree of furnace-like
heat as you penetrate
my being's very centre;
a completely different
degree of furnace-like
heat as you penetrate
my being's very centre;
