“Angel of sunshine”
Yes it’s true, so woe am I
I’ve a teardrop in my eye…
As I can’t escape emotions noose
Each time she lets her sun-shine loose
Can’t believe an angel stands nearby
The beauty of her soul makes me sigh…
Within the confines of this heart’s duress
In her, a bright glow, comforted…I nest
Praise be to the almighty’s sweet design
For giftin’ the world this “Angel of Sunshine…”

To my Dear Brother Wise…
Damn…The shock hit in seconds…
The reality, for certain doesn’t feel real.
I’m at a lost for words as my head reels.
Bro. You were, you are always, to me
a man of few words, yet when you
spoke; for me the depth held a wealth
of wisdom. I couldn’t understand that
as a child, but once I became a man
it’s not lost in my vision, why everyone
had chose to call you Wise.
A music lover, I recall the classics that were
your favorites, quickly became mine. Looking back in my mind, I hear singing in Lil’ bits n’ pieces; Ashford...

Degradation of Consciousness…
As I muse; damn…

is so unaware of what’s truly
erodin’ the morality of man…

Say…You wanna Rap?
Say…you wanna rap?
Spit it out as droplets of verses
With twists that traverses
n’ traps a cavalcade of Ideas,
ideally ideal to spill ill from the face
Lost to a space that lacks restraint
so I hope you’re all ready for this whirl,
I harbor high hopes for a chill in this world
but please I plead, don’t feign to faint
from whence this picture proficiently paints
in lil’ collages of concise consistency
Cohabitin’ n’ collaboratin’ within this itch in me
It’s fittin’ to be hittin’ with thee wit-express
All Hail the Father…for...

To be Free…
Be Free…
As you inhale,
the effervescent scent of life
Be free in mind,
astride the joys n’ strife
Don’t settle to sit within
the confines of chaos’ frost
Stay grounded despite a mass
of “cause n’ effects” cost
Be free to think, to feel,
Simply fly like a butterfly…
it’s flight, destined to untether
Imbued with a sense
to acclimate circumstance,
regardless any kind of weather…

In the Mental’s…
I piggy-back’d
on my mental’s sack
Just to juxtapose
on the verse…
Gut check the spit,
as the lips purse…
“Why seed:
“ten’ll get you twenty” back
Yet all these feelin’s R instant sheddin…’
Unconcern’d ‘bout any regrettin’
They fed-sin, n’ then I’m full on jack’d
Until gettin’ fed up, then I curse…
First, I slide slightly
astride a line
Their sight-see-
me spewin’ outta my mind…
As if by chance,
my words enhance the blind
Leadin’ to all trails weighted

My brothers n’ me...
As I shake loose thoughts
from head to the knees
like a tree, frees leaves,
I drop at the foot of poet’s tree...
Within this network of mind
these branches combine,
twist n’ turn thru the years
they bind, we co-sign our family
N’ At root, where those depths
are defined, the ‘bark’ of those three
refine by this wise design, a trunk
stashed full of eyes bared in poetry.

“Narrator’s Fuse”
From his first words uttered
Found myself, mouth agape,
Thoughts sparsely fluttered
Ran about, mind for words escape
This voice, felt smooth, n’ soothin’
A smile settled quietly ‘pon face
Seems a bit of magic was provin’
The moment fell perfectly in place
And like they say, the unexpected
Happens when the least is expected
Though, as I should have suspected
Once I detected, that it’s ignited yet again
See, the “Narrator” sparked a light within...

“Now I Lay...”
All grown up
n’ no place to sow
Catalyst of intent
ebb n’ flow
Thru these thoughts
in n’ out I flee
Runnin’ ‘gainst
the current’s grind
Decomposin’ darkness’ scuff,
a ruff shine
Now, within four walls
recompense in
A truth risen
from bent shadows wince
One arrives,
in light... starkly all alone
Once a bein’ albeit gone,
on that path alone,
now familiar... is home.

To say it...
Like those great bards of old...
Shakespeare, Naruda, Wordsworth ,
Tennyson, Dickinson to name a few
To find those words, turn a phrase
as thought spills its will...write true
In a haze, muddlin’ through
the throng... til clarity seeps, n’
eyes weep, “those voices” long gone
One is left with a simple lil’ ditty
appropriate, as it fits where it belong...
“Her soul’s sweetness,
sits in the mind’s palette
to...Infinity, n’ Beyond!”

‘Broke n’ Tools’
In these UNervin’ times
I fall back in my mind
RE-viewin’ the signs
I saw, yet couldn’t find
Seeing’ no rhyme nor reason
for the unkind ways
in those days that
had left me dismayed
day after day
I had somehow stayed
locked in on the ill-
rotten displays of
misguided n’ mistreated
youth, seemingly thrown
away...
It was as if they weren’t
worth much the effort of carin’
As it may have played
a role in moldin’ a future
sure to pay dividends
on a foundation well laid
