POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a wonderer... I tell stories from both personal experiences as well as from those around me. Everyone has a story to tell...I just so happen to be the one to tell them at times.

Severing Ties
I thought about calling you
Thought about everything from what I would say if you were to answer the phone and if you didn’t
Hell I even thought about how long the text would be if I even decided to send it
This was until I though about what the outcome would be
To be in your presence although would be amazing
I am not sure if I would want to be lied too…again
How many times must a person say that they don’t want you before you actually believe them?
In reality I would say once but when in your feelings it is really multiple
And from there you have to...

I am not okay
Sometimes telling me that everything is going to be okay just does not sit well in my soul
You see its very easy to roll those words off your tongue with ease as I sit uneasy in this situation that I am currently in.
Recite the lords prayer over and over until my mind becomes numb to these issues that are flooding my mind
While cursing myself out for being or rather feeling too weak to endure a continuous cycle of disappointment.
Am I supposed to continue to weather this storm?
Reach out my hands to up high and beg for repentance for the sins that I knew I was going...

The Other
I do not know if it was having to say good bye that brought about these feelings that I had. Or maybe me wanting to be loved by you…the urge of wanting to cling too that last glimpse of hope that you were really the one and my search was finally over, warmed my blood to the highest degree…right before feverish.
It was almost frighting,
I told myself that if this were truly the case that I would make sure that I made this work. That this kiss would last far beyond time and space. This kiss…we will feel even if we are reborn under different circumstances…there would not...

Dear Old Black Man
Dear Old Black Man at what point will you admit where you have failed?
Where we all have failed to achieve the goals of our rememberable past.
These accomplishments that you hold so dear to your heart.
That dwells beneath the melanin that is protecting the legacy that you speak so highly of.
At what point do we bring up the abandonment?
The insecurities that has now plagued us, the disconnection of what once was then…that has now became our own demise now?
Where did you go?
At what point did you think that it was okay to walk away and return without...

Old Black Man (Black and Ignorant)
My name is Old Black Man,
But this is not about me…it is about you
It is about the name that you call yourself.
The person that lies beyond those brown eyes
That is residing within that flesh that is clinging so firmly to that flesh that is draped upon them bones.
It’s about the blood that is racing around those veins that lies just below that melanin that is resting in that skin.
You say that you know who you are but continue to lie to me.
And if you are not lying then you cannot possibly know who you are.
So therefore...
But this is not about me…it is about you
It is about the name that you call yourself.
The person that lies beyond those brown eyes
That is residing within that flesh that is clinging so firmly to that flesh that is draped upon them bones.

Be Great
I want you to be happy
I want your eyes to light up like the skies do during a warm summers night in the backwoods overlooking the mountains
I want your heart to flutter and your excitement to overflow like a child’s sprit when they finally get that reward for being...simply great
I just want that...for you
I took the brunt of it all
Overcame the obstacles and battled within my being on and off throughout the years
Told myself that this form of love is an honor a privilege to even experience
My soul...

I Doubt It
I am wearing this truth as a badge of honor
These scars these now noticeable fine silver strings of follicles that were once overlooked but has now started to make their presence known to you and the world…
That this wisdom that I at one point was scared to bestow onto you with the fear that you would judge and overlook these lessons that I have learned throughout my existence…since you of course are “much wiser” because age kissed the forehead and breathed life into your once lifeless body before I…my mistake me.
Yet still my path and your path may have led to this...

Fools Gold
Give me back, I don’t belong to you
My body, mind and my soul has never been up for keeps
These lies that you conjured up in your mind may have showered me with false hopes and dreams
Captivated and intrigued my senses of believing that love is nothing more than a superficial feeling that can be obtained with kisses and touches
Have been proven to not be true
But now that I can feel the confusion circulating within my head…now that I can hear and speak
I am asking for me back

Things I Just. Cannot Say
I find it very difficult to explain these feelings that I have for you
The connection that I feel, so impossible
These prayers that I say, so uncomfortable saying out loud
So I find my self speaking them in my mind
If you were to ask me how I felt about you
My tongue would want to lie to you
It would weave a line of lies that would make you think that I had spent months memorizing just for this one occasion
You would accept it knowing that my lies held no truth to them and maybe one day you would ask me once more
But because I tend to wear my...

Lingering
Moonlight glistening off your chocolate skin
Silence interrupted by the moans of you reacting to my touches that’s flooding the surfaces of your body
Sweat dripping, body tingling and chills screaming
I the explorer have made it my mission to unearth every sensation you have ever hid from me
As you lay underneath my body
I take you down, wrapping your legs around my waist
Taste the sweetness of your body as you dig your nails into my sides and whisper for me to…
Give you more…
I thrust...
Breaking walls down with...

Been There
People say that I lost my mind right with the sensitivity of my words
Forgot the meaning to my name and the reasons that built the base of the foundation that sustains the weight of the hell that I bring
But I am still here,
I have never left
I released too much anger so now the only thing that is left is bitter sweet memories and a bad taste in their mouths.
I could give a sermon that is sure to remove the wigs off the ratchet
Cleanse the streets of the hood
And purge their ignorant mentality and reinsert knowledge upon knowledge of the...

Anchored
I love you to a point to where it hurts to breath at times
Knowing how crazy this sounds keeps me from allowing those words from escaping from out of my mouth
Maybe it is my fear of giving you leverage…or allowing you to see how much I care now
Maybe it is because of pride?…or just fear that is keeping me so silent?
I feel too much like a sinner so I steer clear of the alter
Whenever we argue I fight harder because my tears tend to burn depending on the circumstances
Your lack of presence cripples me,
The fear of not being able to answer the simple...
