I can help make a life, have done, more than one. or I could
snuff some out, no doubt the thought's occurred. but I need life
more than it needs me and that's the way its always been



The trouble with living

what is it anyway
the sun moon stars and galaxies ?
or simply the air we breath

what decides who lives or dies or laughs or cries or all the g spots in between
or to the left, down below or to the right.. day and night it watches, calculates,
evaluates and all the while we propagate to multiply its options

I saw a dead guy once
who walked among the living
he begged with his hands for freedom
and I kept going
barely even glanced past his matted hair
never even noticed
that he was everybody rolled into one
and all he really wanted
was to be gone

My 7venth LOVE

Emotions seared with the wrath of hate
Conscience gone beyond resilience
I never thought I could give love a chance
I felt I was gonna go lump like a monument of
salt.
Turning back made me have nightmares of
sodom and gomorrah.
Its amazing how stale food turns delicious for
better meals
I finally got convicted by love
Double jeopardy was a threat, so I accepted the
verdict.
That was a leap into my first love, but she took
a hop out of my life.
My second love came like a consolation
I got it mixed-up half way
She back-stabbed me with disloyalty and
infedelity
I moved on to find solace in the moon
My third emotional journey struck me like the
ten Plagues in Egypt
Despair was my home
This astronaut never passed his roof
Nursing vengence, the coup of retaliation
I enrolled in a school of cheats and deceits
My fourth love was experienced on evil
She kicked the cat nine times before it got to
the floor.
I learned more of being a treacherous lover.
I wore the mask of a villain
The heart of a betrayal-the looks of innocence.
I got my pawn on my fifth love
It was Friday the thirteenth
I gave her the suicidal rope.
She was living in her dreams and never
resuscitated.
Murder was the tag on me
I wasted her for no sin she committed.
I heard they killed the greatest lover too
Even the convict hauled insults at Him
I got suspended for a decade.
My exile gave me a second chance in the
deepest trench
She was my sixth love.
Maybe the best reciprocation of love in my life.
But like the unfinished tales of the old.
Nature called it lights out
My emotions tested with death once more.
She died in a trance
In the midst of my sorrow
Rays of hope intercepted my dark moments
Love like never before resurrected in my life.
Undiluted fountain of living love quenched my
thirst
Unconditional love of my saviour gripped me
despite my disloyalty.
I found love, the true love
No. Love found me,I never searched for true
love.
All my quest was for facinations
Until the purest form of love broke my scales.
It pierced my heart with forgiveness.
My 7venth Love-Jesus.

Hallowed Mnd

as I walk thru hallowed thoughts of my mind
sweet passion lingers in darkness
luving words now just ink on a page

poems are writes with empty fake feelings
feel guilty writing luv poems I don't really feel
that don't mean a thing to you or me any more

tears ingulf my smiles in dark moments of sadness
held your heart and luved you thru dark times
even knowing my luv wasn't returned

made myself look as if I was at fault
only thing I did wrong was luv ya with a true heart
guess your true nature came to light in the end

you've been no where when I've needed you
walked away from me like I didn't exist
but I'm just one more you played for a fool

What The LORD Allows


Did Pops get pimped cause he wasn’t His pal?  
Did Mama get bullied cause she weren’t His cow?
Did things run amuck that The LORD allowed?

So many Jokers... Each one foul
While before The Middle Passage... allot went wild
Slave’s Law & Order but a single file
From cane thru cotton to scrubbing that tile
Kidnap Business?  a whole ‘nuther style

People as “buy” products been bought for a while
Them bids on the grid put folks in a pile
See for yourself... All ain’t fine
A few thousand years.. Still doing time

Who remembers best? Remembers it foul
Devilish Beast...a feast upon the crowd
Each millennium’s monster makes 'em so proud
Correction only matters when the lost get found
But too much shit... goes round & round
The Cruelest Cliché and still The Profound

The Bee

The Creature i admire the most,
The Bee.
He flies around collecting pollen for his colony
And when the time comes for him to fight for what he loves the most,
He does it with all his heart.
He uses his sting.
Knowing that he will die straight after
But he dies with honour,
Honour of protecting the thing he loves the most
HIS QUEEN.
The difference with humans is...
We won't die if we fight for something we love.
But do we even try?

A Thank You...

I don't cry much anymore,

at least not over you.

Oh, I still cry, but mostly over things

that won't ever be.

Dying dreams and such.

It isn't just you, others have killed

many dreams too.

Despite the shattered dreams the

sun rises each morning.

The mountains magnificent,

the sky bright and clear.

Thank you for leaving me,

for not doing as you promised.

Without you, I have continued to

grow, learn and experience.

My horizons have expanded and

encompass so much more than I ever imagined.

Thank you for not looking for me,

for ignoring me....for I have come into my own.

I am more of a woman than I ever was,

and all because of you.

I don't cry much anymore,

at least not over you.

I


Who am I?

I am I

Who are you?

You are you
He is he and she is she
We are we, but each one is one's own self

It may be confusing
The though, a bit intruding
But let me assure you

I am who I am

and what I am is who I am
and who I am is what I am
and I am I and I am who I am
and who I am is what I am
and what I am is I and I am I!

Do you understand?!

No?

I didn't think you would
I wasn't expecting you should
I don't even think you could!

Listen and see!
This is key!

You can be you
and he can be he
and she can be she
But This!

THIS IS ME!

I AM WHO I AM!

Now I Know


blood on the wall
sliding slowly to the floor
blood framing her face
going into her eyes

leave leave little voices chanted
go away run away little lady run


a fistful of broken teeth
bloody upside down smile
a roaring angry drunk man
exploded his fist on her face

[i]Why won't you walk out the door
he is sleeping now please go go go
[/i]
Crying into her towel
nine children crying with her
Her man died that day
she was alone strangely lighter

I stayed for all of you
to make sure you will be alright
not bear the anger of a man
who was a loser with an ego

Now I know Mama stayed
because a mother's love
will always be and forever
the greatest of them all.
