Poet Introduction
Been writing since childhood...love to write, draw, paint n sing n into lots of sports pretty much anything creative I'm into lol
” 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...

He’ll stagger on,
along the path splayed abound,
all while paintin’ his chapters,
displayin’ a life yet to be found...

Within a ‘Wrought State of Time...’

As like fire
thrust, ‘pon

a Virus, befell

this bare...
Ethos told
of such a
‘willed race’
“shattered

“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 ...

On this day...
Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020...
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
engrossed in an online madden game
When IT began...
Revelin’ in my complete destruction of
an opponent by a score of 46 to nil
Things were occurrin’ in real life that
would leave me heartbroken n’ I’ll...

“Honey, I Dumped Da Kids...”
Yup, Damn sure did!
n’ I gotta say, as I stiffen my frame.
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
dumped dem kids right down da drain.
Hadda a whole lotta pent up, power
to let loose, free... with no restrain.
Now I know we talked bout how
we’d create a Neesha, Natalie, Natasha
far too many future Queens to name.
N’ I’ve long coveted a Tyson, Taleeb,
T’Challa...even more Kings I’d bring

“Breaking Views News...”
Extra! Extra! Read all about it...
‘Someone’ lousy, loud, lewd, n’ crude
has just been hit with a “Reality Bit.”
Word on the streets is he’s thrown
a pissy fit! Probably so mad his face
went snow white, sans the bleach.
Figures, It sucks when life’s no longer
“A Beach” Huh Leech!? The ‘Few Lark
Chimes’ calls it “ About Damn Time.”
The ‘Smell A(ss) Post’ was quoted as
sayin...’ “That’s a direct reflect of the
Republican’s host, pretend they’re
all ghosts, n’ anywhere but there!”

“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...

STINK...
I, They, We all stink...
I think, as I sit inside myself
unsettled within this putrid truth
siftin’ thru ME debris, seekin’ proof...
Reekin’ like rotted corpses abound
In some way, somehow, somewhere...
I found that humans such as they are,
STINK, beyond the farthest star...
No matter the situation, condition
or fate...mankind’s stench of greed,
malice, disregard, n’ far too much
hate, all this n’ more leaves me
in such a saddened state...
The politics, n’ backbitin’ ,
molestin’ our women, killin’ ...

Illusions of mind...
She’s such a sweet vision
As in a spell, I’m bound
Wrought with a fire’s indecision
Lost, as if missin’ n’ eyes found
Caught, in her whole essence
Beauty of her is all around
A smile so bright, I can sight
Heaven’s light-rays shinin’ now
Fought not, for futility’s the mission
Alas, I can’t stop this fallin’ down
She’s such a picture, in a frame
“A masterpiece” I declare her mane...
