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.
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…

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...

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,

Everyday
I am going to wake up everyday, and work on being a better me
Smile through the hard times…and dance through the difficult ones
And tell myself that it is okay to be afraid…that my tears are but temporary
That these hands still have much to do
As I stretch these old eyes out beyond the skyline, and allow the sun to kiss my skin once again
I will continue to speak my truth
Step into this world just as comfortable as I fit inside of my skin
Walk from place to place with my head looking ahead
While increasing the volume to that imaginary dial that...

My Life In Their Eyes
There was nothing that I could do but reach out for you
I tried to wrap my mind around the thought of loosing you once before but never would I have imagined that it would have been so soon
My mind was blown
One minute you were here, right here by myside
Laughing and sometimes crying tears of joy and thanking the Lord for the happiness that was showering down upon you like the morning sun
And then the next you were gone
The only thing that they left me with were memories and kisses that I know I will one day forget.
Whatever happened to second chances?

Reality
I roamed the green pastures and even slept on the dead ones
Told myself that if I did not get it right this go around I will walk away from everything
Stared into the mirror and pointed out all of my flaws and imperfections while calling out the aging that was occurring right before my eyes
I saw reality, and it saw me
It came to me in many faces
Even during the times when I thought that I was doing right and thought that my life was going well
Not once did it show me its true intentions until I found myself laying in an empty apartment on a bare floor covered...

Strong Woman
Did you tie her shoes?
Assist in removing her from out of her comfortable dwelling that she spent her first existence?
Did you wake up screaming beside her in the middle of the night, aid in consuming the nutrients that would aid in creating the woman that she would later become?
Were your undeveloped hands there to whip the tears from her eyes as she cradled her knees and maybe her behind while wondering why the world seemed so unfair?
Laid beside her as she dreamed while not realizing that she may very well become something great
You speak as though you know...

First last kiss
I want to kiss your lips like its my first time touching another
Memorize every part of your body like the blind
And recite it back to you as if I were the crafter
Take you..
Leave you drenched worn and complete
Taste the sweet rivers of chocolate
Until our bodies no longer feel like a pair
But just a singular
Win your heart and secure it in a place where only God can find it
Explore eden and release my ego and penetrate the hidden desires that hides behind your smile
I want to be the...

Four Muted Walls
I didn't kiss him for you
My intentions were not to break through his exoskeleton and penetrate a heart that I never knew was there.
But now I know
This secret dies with me
Beyond these four muted walls all that has occured or could have occured will not ever be spoken nor acknowledged in this world or the next
And although Erykah Badu was promising to greet someone in her next lifetime
He and I will only be seen as strangers without any recognition of what had previously occured.
See this is beyond my level of understanding.
I keep him at a far to...

Irreparable
I thought that I could love you
Somewhere in my head I really thought that I could give you what you were needing
To be that glue, that reattached all of your broken pieces
So you could smile
I pulled all of the tricks from out of the bag
Ran to your aid whenever my phone rang
Held you whenever you needed someone to lean on
Drank, ate and tasted the sweetness of your flesh as you melted in my arms…while moaning my name
I was there…with the intentions to love
I stood at the door waiting for an answer
Whispered your name wrote out this poetic...

Simply Love
I become a little boy whenever you are around
My heart becomes much lighter, life just seems so much brighter
Walking on air seems possible
The moon and stars, I now believe are obtainable
What was once a thought has now become reality
I will give my last just to be with you
You are like Christmas on constant replay
I pray to see you every night even before I lay down beside you…
Wake up in the middle of the night, shed a few tears and thank the lord that I have you
For a peace of mind I ask if you will still will be here when I awake in the...
