weather[ing]
I run across the heated sand
waiting for the tides
wave after wave
crash across an impending shore
winds whip to carve scars
deep within this water's edge
as a rip tide cuts dangerous
out of sight, where it lies in wait
blue beckons of grey
sometimes, nearer to - skies glow an orange-ish
humidity mixes with dense pressure
a strange feeling in preparation
last chances of safe winds
and simple shoreline walks;
having water that is aplenty
and my favorite, Dewars and club soda
...

Perfect[ea]
The steam hits my nose
scents of chamomile
spearmint and Manuka honey
mixed with fresh lemon
are quick to begin their healing
divine, this elixir of millennia
hot and soul soothing
carefully easing a turbulent mind
a balm, to psychic bruises
that poke and rear the silence
a chest loosens to lightness
sips skillfully warm,
reheating just so
as the night calms
to beckon sleep from afar
eons spill their secrets
passed eager lips
to collide yesteryears
with the here and now
...

Straight Talk Live (Unsportmanship)
How would one ever know their passion of achievement if not willing to take the risk for the greater good. The laws of gravity are meant for the earth, to uplift the mind, soften the heart, and to spiritually enlighten the spirit of the soul.
We all get up each morning, hoping, praying for one more chance of survival in this realm we call life, however, we refuse to move or adjust to make our circumstances much better, more productive to enjoy the fruit of our labor.
This country is at a dire crossroads. It makes one ask of themselves,...

Femininity Part 2 (+Reading)
Femininity is not in beautifully applied makeup,
not in a smooth gait,
not in a flirtatious look,
Femininity is not all in appearance,
although it shows through the exterior
Femininity is a special kind of energy,
the subtlest radiation emanating from the deepest feelings,
from the soul of a woman ...
Not all women have femininity,
moreover,
Femininity has become more difficult in this world,
for in so much of the majority it is challenged,
and for many it is not, it was never ...
Femininity is impossible to learn... ...

Labyrinth
Journeying through the land of the living as a mortal man
Analyzing misgivings that I don't understand
Wondering if we're offspring of mad scientists
Who're observing and testing if we can coexist
Like in a game of chess, where it's white versus black
Then as capitalists gaining from what others lack
One's back's against the wall, trying not to fail
The other's stacks stand tall, living fairytales
Heaven versus Hell, haves versus have nots
Pursuit of retail fulfilled, or not, being plots
What the blood...

WAS THAT FAIR?
WAS THAT FAIR?
A little bird looked at a hawk
whose high respect filled all the sky.
She liked the power that he showed
and hoped to have the force he owned.
The hawk could do all what he liked.
He killed small birds and had good time.
He had sex far from his own nest
where by his wife he'd not be chased.
The little bird stayed near her house.
She saw a male bird near to her.
She had an intercourse with him
not for enjoyment but morale.
Her male saw her and got enraged,
and he at once divorced his wife. ...

JUST WORDS
Every word written could be someone's saving grace
To some just a way to touch base
To others a way to save face
Words embrace
Take place
And in some ways creates space
As deadly as a double edged sword
And deeper than some depths unexplored
Words have power to destroy and restore
It may be ignored
By others adored
But when read right make us FEEL in one chord
Making blank pages the perfect sounding board
To some just a way to touch base
To others a way to save face
Words embrace
Take place
And in some ways creates space
As deadly as a double edged sword
And deeper than some depths unexplored
Words have power to destroy and restore
It may be ignored
By others adored
But when read right make us FEEL in one chord
Making blank pages the perfect sounding board

I KNOW
You CONSTANTLY under estimate my brilliance
As much as you do my resilience
FACT: YOUR'RE one in a million
A prize yes acting all reptilian
Your scaly skin is used to harshness
Your heart is filled with absolute darkness
You creep and crawl to find me weak
Claiming love but its my downfall you seek
To stand in shame with a bloodshot face
To make me kneel in total disgrace
The eggs you lay brings forth lies
And as you slither in disguise
Please be advised
I may look foolish as I am wise
As the lives I have...
As much as you do my resilience
FACT: YOUR'RE one in a million
A prize yes acting all reptilian
Your scaly skin is used to harshness
Your heart is filled with absolute darkness
You creep and crawl to find me weak
Claiming love but its my downfall you seek
To stand in shame with a bloodshot face
To make me kneel in total disgrace
The eggs you lay brings forth lies
And as you slither in disguise
Please be advised
I may look foolish as I am wise

The Small Café
Café Constant
139 Rue Saint-Dominique, 75007 Paris, France
Summer of 2017
I was sipping a cup of expresso outside of Café Constant
Inhaling the air of my native land
Listening to the sounds of laughter and easy banter among other seated patrons
Looking at the Eiffel Tower in the far distance and the memories it conspired
In the moment of time
Relentless lips blanketed mine
Encircled within strong arms
Sheltered against the pillar of a body waiting to be gifted of its pleasure ...
