POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The odometer of my life is hidden from me which has me worrying about my legacy Is my existence a part of an eternal plan or am i just leaving temporary footprints in the sand Either way even if it is just spam i write therefore i am
The A List
All of my life I have felt like a cloaked Bird of Prey
will the real me ever be on display
About this Ellison and Wright knew what to say
will it also be my forte
This has been my existence
I feel like a ghost off in the distance
Via my poetry my "voice" is heard
but not being full seen feels a bit absurd
Like in the play by the famous Italian existentialist
if I find my Author will my spirit make -The A List
will the real me ever be on display

A Poor Black Man's Lament
I am forced to stretch a US Dollar
to the point I hear George Washington holler
One time our founding father to me said
stop trying to kill me I am already dead
I said George they make my people break our backs
just to earn a few legal greenbacks
I use to wear Italian designer slacks
back when I was making some stacks
Now I dine on gourmet Ramen noodles
bc it is cheaper than the food rich people feed their Poodles
But I am blessed to have never made my bed outside on concrete and cement
and all of the above...

I Am The Existential Poet
I am the existential poet
the lines on my palms show it
My coming was foretold
back before the days of old
I am a member of the 7th tribe
sent here to be their scribe
I am here to herald the awakening
which will begin with the quickening
When we the people with Melanin
break out of the mental hell we're in
The battle of good vs evil rages on from here to beyond the sun
but, our side will be the victorious one
We will board the...

My Star Gate
Black Queen your eyes reflect our collective history
our past to me is no longer a mystery
i am transported ten thousand years
faster than newborn can shed tears
back when we were Kemetic
and the pace of lives was so not frenetic
we were a people of regal and noble bearing
and our hearts were filled with caring
a race tan, strong and proud
without a veil of self-hate worn like a shroud
our great (x 200) grandparents built the great pyramid
it is a shame how...

Footprints
I tried to do right by you
and to see this thing through
But, my Baby all you do
is paint my soul a midnight blue
I wanted to make it to the 15th round
but, everyday I cry enough tears to drown
I am sad we have to part
but, I'm tired of your footprints on my heart
For us I had a master plan
with me as your lover man
But, honey you turned cold as a hard frost
and the crop that was our love we lost
At night I turn and toss
over this terrible lost
I am sad we have...

My High Priestess of Love
You never knew much i loved you
and away from my arms you flew
i wish i could trick father time
and go back and make you mine
i regret now it is too late
and that we will never again date
You were sent from above
to be my high priestess of love
i made a wrong turn
and it is you for that i urn
but sadly the story remains the same
and i have only myself to blame
my heart for you burns like an eternal fame
and i am haunted my your name

Forever Today
I knew from the start
That I never want us to part
Cupid hit me with his dart
and landed a bulls-eye in my heart
You are as beautiful as you are smart
Your voice is number 1 on my chart
Want us always to be in love this way
and my calendar to read "Forever Today"
Faded are the memories of lover's past
All I want is our thing to last
I don't care what the others do
Only interested in me and you
In a romance the is eternally true
in a world made by two
Want us always to be...

Desperate Hours
Another day just killing time
I feel like an old burlesques dancer past her prime
Counting the seconds till night time comes
and I am done working for these saltine crumbs
Then you can give me your love with it's magical powers
to heal the pain of these desperate hours

A Refurbished Heart
Sometimes I wonder what is the use
if all I do is put up with other people's abuse
But, your kindness allows me to hold out
because you tell me together we can make it no doubt
From the madness of this world my mind is under assault
but, your caring has reset my mind to it's factory default
You give me the strength to play my part
and your love has refurbished my heart
if all I do is put up with other people's abuse
But, your kindness allows me to hold out
because you tell me together we can make it no doubt
From the madness of this world my mind is under assault
but, your caring has reset my mind to it's factory default
You give me the strength to play my part
and your love has refurbished my heart

A Friendly PSA
The calendar reads 2023
White racist in America are unaware of that I see
Black Gen Z
in self-defense will whoop the "Saltine" out of thee
You will catch a combo but not the kind from Wendy's
with a right hook as powerful as a hurricane in the West Indies
Our Ancestor invented the folding chair
and trust me you don't want to go there
Consider what I say
a friendly PSA

Pimping My Poetry
My beautiful rhymes I need y'all to turn some more head tricks
so that my poems can get more views than movies on Netflix
My lovely Similes and Metaphors
work them corners and open additional mental doors
I am tasking you all with this chore
bc lately things I read on-line are a bore
Writings need to be more sensual, sensuous and seductive
with reasoning that is intellectually deductive
Based on critical thinking
gleamed from a third eye that is sexy winking
Get out there and impress people with my...

Xtinct
The Blue Bird is dead
that's how the headline read
Gone are those halcyon days
they vanished like marijuana smoke in a Cheech and Chong movie haze
Dylan sung the times they are a changing
On Twitter Elon like the deck chairs on the Titanic he can't stop rearranging
I was hoping the X was an Homage to the X-Files
the thought left my conspiracy filled mind with smiles
But sadly it is more succinct
bc the X now stand for Xtinct
