#NoPoo Book 1     An ode to Gabriel

O' dreams in technicolour



you speak,
without saying a word
that silence
screams
it's thunderous clarity

directing a will
or want
a type of navigation
or purposeful drumming
nonstop in
all it's obduracy

convincing me
to make guesses
which come in seconds
after seconds...

I only realize later,
that's the intention
to confuse and deflect

compliments
extended to reverse palm handed
my will and secrets
once shared
seem fodder
of once true contemplated

disguised, baited in coy
or just a rouse
falling for the smooth
the promise of...

connecting to,
being seen
having my color's plume
in your eyes of spirited
soul bound understanding

is still,
how my heart
sees
and believes.

yet, truth knows

that's its just
the grey matter
that didn't matter

and it was always going to be
whispers of wanted technicolor
to the ears
of a girl drawn

in black and w h i t e

The Russian Mafia

Dope, money, stacked high on elongated tables
Arabian Stallions concealed in stables
Money, lavish mansions, expensive cars to drive  
Corruption of greed, political purchased undercover lies  
Yachts to sail the high seas  
A family generation paid off from its dark legacies  
 
Gun toting, no one talks  
Handcuffs snapped, the same day the guilty walks  
John Gotti, the Godfather has come and gone  
Another crime syndicated family, singing the remnants of his atrocious songs  
Drug turf wars fought on the mean streets  
Found in the dark, unstrapped, bullet you meet  
Russian Drug Cartel, so what you gonna do  
FBI Agent undercover, and coming for you  
Glock, 357, oh yeah let me grab my automatic 22  
 
Mission ordained by law, cannot stop  
Now shaking hands with the boys maxing at the top  
Clock counting down, tick tock  
Ambushed, part of the game, my burner pops  
Buck em  
Fuck em  
Concrete pouring, tuck em  
 
Killings without feelings  
Initiation, now one of them, badge you still defend  
Blood on your hands, emotions no longer you pretend  
Kingpin’s number one runner  
His point and shoot gunner  
Briefcase, deals, exchange of money  
Setup destination feels quite funny  
 
Warehouse attendees arrested and handcuffed    
Task Force shakedown, on thee up and up    
Drug operation brought down on Sunday  
A snitch will pay, an intended hit to slay  
Mafia family inner circle, all released on Monday be that it may  
Power within the system is blind  
Drugs, money, it moves on the government’s time  
DEA, FBI, fighting the war on drugs  
Nope, its business related and operated by government paid thugs

gem.. SKC5!

My heart is big enough.... is yours?


... then
he admitted
those long talks
mutual shoulders lent
writings shared
and our friendship
that blossomed, beautiful

were muddled with
those emotions
ones he wasn't expecting
nor really wanting

ones intense in their unforgiving
and all consuming

I get it,
I do get it

which is why
this friendship
was so easy
to begin with

now,
it's silence
from every direction
going from sixty to zero
nothingness in black
an absence wholly felt
I kill myself with quiet

.. and because, I said,
let's go slow?

or maybe I didn't explain
well enough
my darling,
my cherished friend
of how I won't ever lose you
not ever

my imagination
can't even begin
to fathom
a life forward
without you in it

it IS your goat
your unique viewpoints
making me laugh
having my back
always and always

this can't be
how we end it
my own goat, refuses
because I know...

my heart is big enough—
             ... is yours?

This isn’t a poem, but been as this thread is dedicated to Souladareatease imma just share this.

Last year, Soul and I had a little cross-atlantic sunflower growing competition which resulted in way too many progress photos of plants on WhatsApp and hints and tips on getting them to grow in our varying climates in between copious cups of tea and coffee on our respective porches.

Never have you seen two grown ass adults more competitively growing sunflowers 😂

I harvested the seeds from that sunflower shortly before he passed away, and kept them for this year. I planted these two weeks ago... look who’s back 🌻

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a little happy cry.

(NoPoo 135) Crushed

like a broken crutch
disabling aspirations
movement of crushed dreams

Ahh... thank you sincerely my poet, and please have a spectacular weekend in the making
