POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry is a gift from God and for that I'm thankful...
Downhill
Finally family and friends gone
I had to kick them out of my home
How dare they intervene into my life?
Over a substance that’s already controlled
Remotely that is why I turned them off
For a white girl who’s skin is so soft.
I await the day to prove them wrong
Checking the voice mail on my phone
What I am hearing has me speechless
Oh my Jesus
I’ve been fired!
What am I to do?
Suddenly the door bell rings
I can hear the fat lady singing
As I open up the door
It’s my land lord bringing
Me papers that reads eviction....

My Sweet Chocolate Treat
I look into the mirror with no reflection
A black man trapped in darkness searching for light.
Double clicked on my Internet icon
Ventured onto Myspace,
Browsed through a couple of profiles
Before this one pic caught my eye.
She was as lovely as a rose
Her pose any man would behold
Could she be my sweet chocolate treat?
I pause,
Sit back in my chair and gasp for air
For her beauty has stolen my breath away.
I need oxygen,
Rush outside to feel the summer breeze
Could she be the one?
Mind freezes,
I head back into the house,...

My Woman
Ever since my divorce I have listened to family, friends, and even co-workers
Tell me that love have been missing me
But through the power of prayer, through the power of God
My Lord has sent me an angel unto me now love has welcomed me back.
And those that laughed at me and ridiculed me can now see the smile on my face,
The swag in my step, hear the base in my voice,
All due to you my precious jewel for whom I thank God for.
Excited is what I feel knowing each hour, minute, or second I get to spend with you
Whether it's online, or in person, a phone call, or...

Rehab
I've fallen on hard times
And physically and mentally I’m tired
Tired of running this cocaine race
Taking a glance into the mirror and was unable to see my face.
Reflecting thoughts,
For now I see what family and friends have been seeing that I’m addicted to cocaine.
.
Infatuated by this drug I allowed this substance to take control over me
To where family and friends thought best to intervene
As they saw my life spiraling downhill
I became blinded to the fact that I was lost
Not wanting to be found
Bound that if I continued on this cocaine...

I think of you everyday
Yes
Yes
I think of you every day
Your overwhelming strength, like a magnet
Pulls me to you, scares me closer
Your laugh, a delicious infection
That spreads a tingle through my body
Wishing a pill could make this stop
I close my eyes at night
Imagining myself blanketed in your arms
My neck warmed by your breath
Our bodies entwined in blissful calm
Wishing this was simple
For you, I wish eternal happiness
A life with no pain or sorrow
I know the sun still smiles
For you have touched my life so deeply
...

FALLING DOWN
Falling down
Deep down into an abyss
Water blurs my vision
Tears of loneliness
I can’t sleep, eat, or have myself a good time
Wishing this rain would stop
Pain now blocks my sunshine
I really do miss my online girl.
For without her,
My world is filled with complete darkness
Empty like a black hole
No sun shines on me.
My life shattered like broken glass
Trying so hard to mend the pieces
But this glass cannot be restored
I really do miss my online girl.
Trying so hard to live my life one day at time
I sink low, so...

If I was given the chance to love you
There is a time and a place for everything
The time is now
The place is where you stand
I ask your lovely self
Would you be my woman?
If you accept, here is what I would deliver
Electrifying love that will make your heart melt
Your body quiver.
Shiver with excitement
As I look you into your eyes
Hypnotized by your look
Woman you are a billion dollar piece
Therefore I shall play the crook,
And steal you away
Make your everyday
More better than the day before
Would you allow me to do just that?
For if you say yes
Then I...

The best night of my life
I had the best night of my life,
And if I had to pick one word to describe it that word would be magical
Disney could not have taken me on a ride like this lovely woman did.
Her conversation like a soldier had me at attention
Her sweet touch healed every wound that I was suffering from
This woman has breathed new life into me
I have been reborn again.
Oh what a feeling it is to be loved
And speaking of love she electrified my soul
Between the sheets we slow danced every stroke was on beat
Looking into her lovely eyes I knew she was the special one...

Infatuated (with the devil in the white dress)
I think of her, this devil in a white dress
This love I have for her is so powerful
That I would give my soul to this white devil
No charge at all
Just allow me to feed my hunger
Quench my thirst
One line at a time
The effect this white devil has over me corrupts my mind
And by all means that’s fine.
Laying her gently on the table,
Admiring her white dress
Sinking my nose into her delicate white skin
I breathe in blow,
Oh boy do I blow
Leaning back, way back
Into clouds of joy
That being my pillows
Feeling so loved by the...

SHE USE TO LOVE ME
She use to love me
Now she loves me not
Emotional pain struck like a bullet
In my heart I have been shot.
Why oh why did my love decide to leave?
I have no answer at this time
Sitting here full of pain
Feeling miserable
Time slowly passing me by.
I wonder does she think of me.
As I think of her.
Is she happy?
Or is she sad?
I know one thing
Love sucks
Love hurts
For love can drive a sane person mad.
I take a deep breath
Emotionally I have nothing left,
For I have felt some negative emotions
Like feeling...

Would you be my S.H.A.N.E.? (Sexy, Hot, Amazing, Nubian Empress)
Just look in the title line
And you will get the meaning
As lovely as you look
Any man would get the feeling
To love you and only you
Simply gorgeous,
Is just one word to describe you
For it would take a lifetime to define you.
My beautiful Queen
It has been a long time dream
To see someone as lovely as you
God definitely took his time in designing you.
This is where you know God will answer all prayers.
For when I awoke
I asked God to send me an angel
Then he directed me to you
And when I saw your face
I smiled,
Oh boy...

First Morning
I awoke with aches of pain.
The forecast calls for scattered thunderstorms
In my eyes is pouring rain.
Sweet dreams turned to nightmares
Trapped in the dark
With no light to guide me, life falling apart.
I still love her even though she has moved on
Radio used to play sweet melodies
Now all I hear is sad love songs.
Love hurts,
The pain no doctor can cure
Time seems to be the only medicine
So I shall take a heavy dose
We went from spending all our time together
Now we are not even close.
