Night Wings...
A troubled soul, far too young
to feel so old, runnin’ dark streets
n’ no one sees him passin’ by
The mind’s in a state, hope seems
locked away or so far out of reach
to try...
He cries inside, “Why can’t
they see me when I’m ‘clothed
in‘ this guise?”
Wishin’ with all his might,
he had ‘night wings’ so he could fly
Then, as abruptly as his night run
began, It comes to an end
When in mere seconds 16 SHOTS
frees an embattled soul BYE...

” Paintin’ Shadows...”
Paintin’ Shadows on the wall
I can feel each bump as I crawl...
Lost in a place of mind
As charades spray a design
Eyes imagine, cast in time...
Little soldiers, the relentless kind
Fightin’ on paths laid...unwind
shuttlin’ thru caverns, the depths’ sound...
He’ll stagger on,
along the path splayed abound,
all while paintin’ his chapters,
displayin’ a life yet to be found...
I can feel each bump as I crawl...
Lost in a place of mind

along the path splayed abound,

“Just for Today...”
At least...
For today,
like the wings
that whistle
‘pon the dove
Grateful, for the gift
of life’s magic...
inhale an AIR filled with love
Forget not...
to smell the flowers,
N’ taste that sweetest power
of warmth from the sun above...
Kiss the sounds
of beatin’ hearts
embrace those endearin’
‘warm me’ parts...
Look into deftly
inside the depths
of souls carin’
feel the blanket
of comfort
when sharin’
For today,
celebrate one n’ all ...

A day as sad as any I’ve ever known.
Eerie too, as I reflect on the moment shown.
There I was, at approximately 9:30 am

Yup, Damn sure did!

That ‘twas with not a lick O’ Shame.
See, I felt that need, n’ you wit yo
greed, are the only one to blame!
So sorry not sorry... that I’ve

Hadda a whole lotta pent up, power

Now I know we talked bout how

Extra! Extra! Read all about it...
‘Someone’ lousy, loud, lewd, n’ crude

Word on the streets is he’s thrown
a pissy fit! Probably so mad his face

Figures, It sucks when life’s no longer

“Brave-Art-Thou...”
Seated within thy self
I muse of thee...
“Four score...” the verse
barely breaks free...
Whilst thou seeketh
thine own truth
or whilst thou not?
Seemingly, Like a leper scorned
Nay, hath thee been forewarned
as callous rhetoric only spews
from the mouth of weary fools
Bask thyself in puddled tears
while thee cleanses
free of rustic caricatures
of false bravado torn
asunder by a life drenched
in thine own fears...

A Poem can be so...
Utterly beautiful...
That’s truly what you are
With eyes that spy
a twinkle, like a star
Bright, a sweet smile,
Ink’s kiss, oh so divine
The mind invokes a sensual
guile...
Breath takin’ Poetry, beautiful you
I’m so caught up, I’m thru...
Tryin’ to contain composure
fightin’ to incite searin’ exposure...
Although,
for all this emotional plight
just can’t help to recite
What the eyes see in a soul
even more proven so...
Poetry, you’re so
utterly precious n’ beautiful...

‘Cinematic- Streams’
Stained glass thoughts
decry the myth of perpetuity
As the eyes fought in vain
to grasp a glimpse of a You n’ Me
They say it’s been said, “all
men were created equally”
Pardon my head while the
soul bleeds incessantly...
Seen so much contrary
to the reality, it’s as if Pixels
played the lead role in a society,
awash in malignant ‘Green Gluttony’
So, far gone away...
Real is now a rarity
It’s no wonder why,
so many invoke their inner
“Dorothy “clickin’ their heels,
n’ glarin’ at reels...
