A Moment In The Abstract
call it what you want
intrigue...fascination...infatuation
to me it's the unexplained..
the manner in which you get in tune with your intuition
the way a lost man can suddenly find himself at world's end
swirling down your Calypso's abyss
Davey Jonesin for your mysticism
where worlds collide and words coincide as
Venus-Earth-Mars
we meet somewhere in the middle
showcasing artists in the nude
riddled with antiquated aches and seismic pulsings
deep diving into the inkwell..the pitch blaque of it
spilling esoteric..spelling out spells through raw sentiment
emotionally charged..waxing rhapsodic
high glossed in poetically saturated melodies
as we indulge fine dining here
at the abstract cafe
let me fill in your blanks
pour you another serving perhaps?
taste my nuances with no chaser..see if they're to your liking
i'll keep writing as long as you remain open
to the curvature of my verbiage
be my one stop shopping
cuz this is a non-stop thing for me
the final destination is just one journey after the next
that roams inside your labyrinth
dedicated to pulling the muse from out your pores
one molecule at a time..one letter at a time
using countless strokes of the quill
to nudge your nucleus
to ART-iculate you
to etch n sketch your quintessence
until it fits the mold i have in mind for us
displayed openly as an exhibition of exhibitionists
pasted against the ambiance of a picturesque panorama
highlighting my incubus. .your succubus
smothered..simmering between sheets of opaqueness
telling a tale of heat seekers rising up the Fahrenheit scale
with yearnings burning ink as the midnight oil
til nothing remains but the smoldering embers of
two trailblazers outlined in greyed chalk
the obsidian dust
that is the shape of our poetry
*****

Somnia
Insomnia
And I sleep,
or contemplate sleep,
or lust after sleep,
as if it'd be
a benediction -
wake on a breath,
melt in
to the heroic lullaby
of deep, heavy rain
hitting the frames, hitting the roof,
that used to do it for me -
and when it still doesn't come
I have been known to fold
on other means
like reading,
like yawning,
like collapsing inward and closing,
it just isn't enough anymore,
the body slugs on
searching for hope in her waking hours,
so now one has to reach out
to pained levels of exhaustion
where eyes tick
and the clocks go dry.

Beyond The Clouds
When Superpowers Meet What Path Is There To Peace
I just witnessed Kim Jong Un meeting with Vladimir Putin, to discuss war heads, and the alliance of Russia and China, and neither one is affiliated with NATO … wow... this could be very crucial.
In addition, as I must mention, please do not place all your cash on those Cash Apps, banking at your fingertips, place it in the bank, sock drawer, under your mattress, just so you can have access to it.
If you do not know, we are moving into a one currency system. It is best you start investing in Gold, and Titanium, natural resources, gas, coal any natural resource the sale of the American dollar has no value, compared to other countries' currency.
Politics And Earthly Agenda
A question I have been pondering since the debacle of the coup attack on the State Capitol. Who really gives any country its peace.
While we are being mentally mesmerize by watered down politics and a feeble-minded president, there are other countries who are coming together to build its perimeters, military strongholds, and I say that with the humblest respect, and strategic measures to bring American to its knees.
If anyone has taken notice, this is the futuristic of humanity and the AI force, anytime you can implement robots into the very core we call life, and it becomes acceptable, that is the end of humanity as we know it.
There will be a when we come together, black, white, native races, whereas, we will be fighting for survival not among each other, but the longevity against man and the machine.
Remember this, if you never remember anything, that soap box, (the media) who are owned by the elite, have taken an oath to place the truth in front of eyes. In my research about the elite, they must display the truth, therefore, you can never say you were not forwarded. I have to say that is primary reached through numerology, signs, and symbols.
The Mental Brainwashing (The Music)
Let’s talk about the casting spells of the music, the rap/hip hop ethos, back in the day, rap music used to tell resonate about the struggles we need to overcome as a thriving people.
As time has progressed, and the unorthodox Jews who is behind those lucrative contracts of the music industry, the banks, and patents of mass destruction; Covid, Ebola, SARS, manmade genocide agents that can annihilate humanity.
Look around my brothers and sisters, there is no other race the hip hop music has affected than the African American race.
You have hard core rap songs, telling you to kill, steal, build up empires of the dope, twisted sublime messages lowering the essence of the mentality and the ventures of the younger generation of Kings/Queens are becoming lost to the dire effects of what they hear.
You have teenagers all over the internet, twerking, fighting, disrespecting their elders in the name of vanity.
In my day, I look back, I had my mind so encased in those dusty Britannica Encyclopedia, I can tell you every word written, I did not understand, the meaning back then but I am so thankful now, and being home schooled and limited English under my grann was so difficult, tedious, and sore palms for not trying hard enough. Here today, my English is still not quite there, but manageable.
In studying the English language here today, you string along several phrases together from the three translated Books Of The Dead, as I stated I do recommend you reading that book. You can do harm, double words that means more than what meets the eyes. I will elaborate more on that as time progress.
Breaking down that equation, of Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul
Why is this so important, because the world is changing daily as we see it, not as it really is perceived. Occurrences that are sanctioned by the administration of the government are never about the people or for the people.
Mass Destruction Of The Mind
Brainwashing the mind with demonic forces that still today hinder the disunity of the African American race, and this is no disrespect to any other race, but the truth does become the light. For my ancestors to have survived, from being hanging, lynching, tar and feathered, then given us a false book with a blue-eye picture of a bearded man to worship for every race, every culture, it is unfair in a blind systematic that caters to its religion.
Heaven is within the heart; it is your emotional salvation, or it can be your emotional detriment when it begins it become zealous, a cult of some sort.
In this realm we call life, you must be steadfast, and open your third eye of discernment it is about being anointed.
The fear tactics of submission to turn the other cheek, while babies, were raped, women, men tar and feathered, a history that is not open for discuss and under the laws of politics is becoming obliterate.
I did read in Florida; churches are starting to be awaken and teach the lost history of self.
Yet, the history of the Holocaust (Jewish), Cinco De Mayo (Hispanic Heritage) to celebrate their culture, Italian Festivals (Italian Heritage) Octoberfest (Germans) St. Patrick Day (Irish Heritage) Juneteenth (The Emancipation of African Americans from slavery) everyone culture/heritage are so very much important, and it must be celebrated.
Therefore, why should anyone voice be silenced the struggles of any race only bridges the gap of impartially and it fosters alliances among all.
This world has moved beyond black and white, the unity is found in hearts, not so much the state of the mind, and blood only has one color when it seeps from the pores, and that is red, sickness only have one outcome and that is getting better, and it does not matter who is healing you.
Deterrence Of Empowering Healthy Heart Energy
Your body is the temple. The next time you look at your reflection in the mirror, you are a superpower within yourself.
The Heart (Anahata Charka) That beating organ is vital to the longevity of life, it pumps the blood through the four chambers, received oxygenated blood.
The Death Merchants, that feeds our sacred temples, processed, foods, with additives for taste, sodium, saccharine, food coloring dyes, canned ham, dried and packaged food, drenched in preservatives.
Then no one can comprehend why they have high cholesterol, diabetes I and II, high blood pressure, and arthritis.
And men be advised medication for high blood tend to result in erective dysfunction. I would always recommend, baked over fried, brisk walking/running then sitting on a couch, being immobile.
Fresh organic and make sure it says certified vegetables if you do not garden your own, then eat frozen and non-canned vegetables.
The Mismanagement Of The Soul
This has always been my blessed mantra, and that goes to say, you never, and strongly mean never, allow your intellect to become stagnate in its growth, deterred by outside forces who have no bearing in your journey's path, or allow it to be compromised, unto others.
There is a Haitian Proverb my grann always says “Never allow the sword tongue of the foolish who looks into the mirror and sees someone else's pilgrimage other than their own to lead you to your throne of glory, if so, it leads to a heartless and emptiness state of one’s existence,’ unquote.
And no matter how strong you think you are, you will never recover your lost self-esteem, ponder on that perception, please, if not and by designs, you begin to slowly lessen the value of YOUR own beautiful worth, and I was never raised to bow down or mentally accept the falsehood of someone’s else twisted ideology, what for?
And allow my 5th year here on DUP to commence.
I will be bringing some medical researched information to the forefront, the whispers you do not see, but I hear. Starting with Bill Gates and his bioengineered food. I do not make these things up, but I will get to the bottom of this, I have been thoroughly researching as a medical profession I have to look at it from a scientific approach.
The billionaire couple, in less than a decade, have accumulated more than 269,000 acres of farmland across 18 states, more than the entire acreage of New York City. The farmland was purchased through a constellation of companies that all link back to the couple’s investment group, Cascade Investments, based in Kirkland, Washington.

Stiletto Meadow
At nine years old
The water ate my lungs
Turning me ice cold
In the year 1984
With my mother’s heels on
Playing dress up
And hop scotch
Across the pond
Where the scent of
My ghost lives on
Gliding with the swans
I’m dead and gone
Butterfly broken wings
Reflect beside my
Fossilized teeth
Playing hide and seek
Sunflowers larger
Than the vintage sun
Gave rays of shade
To my antique bones
It’s now 2084
I’m dead and gone
But the scent of my
Ghost lives on
At Stiletto Meadow
Inside flowers that bloom
In butterfly cocoons
In shadows of the past
Alive in the grass
A hundred years have passed
Trying to reach you
From the other side
I see you watching casually
From across the way
I play hop scotch on lily pads
Darting across the pond
Wearing nothing but six inch heels
Made from red clover
Your stoic face lies
There are crinkled smiles
On the corner of your eyes
Cause you love me so
Sunflowers bloom larger
Than the florescence sun
Providing us shade
Where love’s not afraid
No rules to follow
You and I alone
Immortal

Who knows - maybe I'll turn it into a series like The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netfix.
I'll call it The Haunting of Stiletto Meadow! You never know:)

Congratulations Adelphina! (Still worried if it's a worthy write?!)
And to all those nominated, really quality writes one and all. It's good to see high level writes be recognized. -I'm switching to a computer soon, and will be able to do more, including nominating some of y'all in the future. So keep writing!
