Cat Pomoi was buried yesterday
yes the white one with red collar
he mewed ever so softly
got down from my bed
and slipped away
I wished you were there
You'd have understood

deep breaths and bruised knuckles

here we go again
on the cusp of that journey
once more
the one long one
with the twisting and turning
for hours upon hours
before the arrival at dawn
at the desert that is
the uncertainty
of tomorrow

the sun does what it has to

what you've packed
on ya broken
brusied
and bent back
is all that matters

so far so good

let's do this




.

...to create something from nothing, isn't nothing


to create
something from nothing
where previous a void, so apparent
stark in all surroundings
a nothingness—
to a perhaps strived for greatness
grasping, of choiceless necessity
deep, from some buried version
of a twisted well of inspiration
personal,
so personal
emotions that tears into flesh
plunging a tendril profound
to melt hearts and minds
an exorcism, in it's genesis
filling that encompassed nothingness
with all that's almost impossible
to comprehend or fathom
parts no one suspected,
pieces no one wants
only then,
remembering
to save a small piece...
a shard

just for myself

Blessed be unto the wind    

Close my eyes, traveling to a land long before the creation of sin  
I hear the hooves of chariots as man stand in God’s image  
Oh, greatness of thou Pyramids, Pharaohs calling within another dimension    
The Nile, I bathed the heritage of my melanin in the bosom of its depth    
The Ankh, my amulet adorned proudly around my neck    
   
I breathed the air, so laden of roses,  frankincense, myrrh and sweet-smelling Jasmine    
Goddesses bowing unto their God’s Psalms, the spillage of blood as history begins    
Hieroglyphics, my beautiful language sings of yesterday’s glory    
Lineage, the legacy, mummified buried of greatness, hidden from books telling of its rich stories  
 
The melanin in my skin    
Life barriers of mythical properties once you take it all in    
Tells of my centuries, history of young and old    
What shall be first, shall be last, shall be first again according to my ancestral sacred scrolls    
Bow unto my Deity the greater investor of my soul    
African dances, spiritual ceremonies, the rite of passage as time once beautifully foretold    
 
Hushed whispers, sailed in the blanket of night    
Sweat from dusk to dawn, with no relief in sight    
For a taste of salvation, equality, freedom, Come By Here My Lord, echoing songs    
I hear the voices, the cries from the Motherland, see your tired feet, Oh God, I hear the bemoans    
Footsteps dancing with the coatings of hope heard in the soft wind    
Unity sang unto the North star all night long, faith, courage as it silently blends  
 
Goddess of the spiritual prophecy, who governs me    
Gives me the blessings to lavish my creed    
Rules the beat of my timeless heart    
I bow unto your grace, bless my temple, honor unto my Chi, my sacred parts    
Shh, inhaling the land’s inheritance from where I once roamed    
Opening my eyes, the Motherland, my soul shall return with open arms of its enriching home


Great writers are the saints for the godless.
Anita Brookner

listen
understand
hate can hurt
love well
it doesn't cost
much
just a piece of your heart

Wise words....

I need to work on my compassion a little bit
A much needed reminder.
