“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

“NORMAL”
Normally,
normality wouldn’t even raise a brow
Though, nowadays can’t shake the
“every second craze” of madness now...
I’ve not yet lived a phase in life where
I could honestly say, “I’m livin’ the dream”
N’ seriously for those who claim they are
I question their truth as ‘eye-screen...’
The air...the world seems to be in a nightmare
neverendin’ as if God isn’t tendin’ his sheep
feels like I’m locked in a fogged, feverish sleep
but that can’t be,
because all I see makes me weep...

Hot White Pussy...
He was hot,
and instinctively he knew it...
Which was why after a daunting
trek across the freshly tarred pavement
he was happily lounging in a bucket of ice...
P.S. Absolutely NO animals were harmed
in the telling of this “Fee-Lonely-Ass” Tale!
😂😜

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

The quiet times in my mind
These images abound, unwind
What does one make of past-
histories, miseries I found-
voices beckonin’ to find...
The ‘architects of disgrace’
Sinful servants of an inhumane
space, a supposed superior race
I ache in my soul as scenes unfold
Darkened skin’s outcome “foretold”
When this ‘color-cause’ took hold...

” 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...

“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 ...
