POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
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
Seas of our hearts: Besieged
We are brothers two
Adrift, in this life
sortin’ thru our souls
wonderin’ what to do
Our hearts’ been broken
the lost, n’ pain so deep
cry’s so loud, yet not a word
has been spoken
Dear lord, heal us, hear us plead
In this, our greatest hour of need
We ask that you send us a sign
To see, what we seek to find
As we each can only hope
to sail on pass these waves of turmoil
n’ set anchored, steadied for a new path
Somewhere life maybe easier to cope...

Soul Hymn...
On the outside
of my whole,
Deep-in these
thoughts I go...
In mournin...
“God” ‘crest my soul’
Stay vested
in this Minds’ flow
Search never ends...
the EYE know
As I’m
starin’ at the glarin’ glow
Smearin’ stark ink
out of the shadows...
N’ still, it’s like that pill
One tends the need
to swallow...
Yet, it’s always nice
when one can
savor a ‘mental blow...’

“Central Park Five”
Note: please understand I’m aware this is a touchy subject for some, yet I can’t deny it
it spoke to my soul Ssooooo...
If one took a diamond,
tossed it into the dirt...
“Gone from sight”, doesn’t
conceal the hurt...
Ascension beyond a dreamer’s
dreams, awash of what maybe...
One plus the spirit, content
wallows in emotions sea...
Seen as though I, of self digest
ever incredulous the depths
a Gem a warrior’s soul possess...

N’ If ever I fall...
Tippin’ on this axis
I try n’ practice balance
fact is, life’s just like
that, trippin’ on adrenaline
runnin’ the ‘hope-treadmill’
‘round n’ back again...
Gotta get the code to crack
this, whack sensibilities
of some of these mofos
pleeaaasssee...excuse me
I’m headin’ dead-in a direction
as a reflection, makes a connection
to how it all went sideways...
N’ I never cease to hear my
momma’s ‘sage verse’ echoin’
within’ my troubled thoughts...
“Remember it’s those that
never stop, who...

‘Untitled’
I feel...
Afloat, light wears
pillowy soft smears
of a life eyes see...
Agasp... how much
more senseless...
touched by association,
society...
A Might...
for graspin’-scenes-
seem- so serene, free...
A Lot, Mind expansive
WHY? Non- Digestibles
don’t dwell well...
IN this, mystic state
the mental Awake
though still tryin’
to just be ME...

“Maybe it’s my Imagination, But...”
I see, as I look
far beyond sight
lil’ signs of ‘less’ progression
A process, into who, how
why, n’ when ‘congestion
of morality ‘ booked
a one-way ticket flight...
Gone for so long now
simple civilities in everyday
interactions...
Can’t help but see it
as a fraction of a whole
of a symptom, problematic
actions...
that add up to, for me
what’s wrong about
the lack of light in
spite of life.

“Five Stages”
It’s said, there’s “stages” to grief
an approximation, towards relief
Denial... why accept n’ face
when one can avoid ‘that space’
Anger... gotta lash out, fight
the wretched pain, breech
the barriers for more disdain
Bargaining... make a deal with God
offerin’ up to impossibilities’ nod
Depression... what’s the expression?
“Get over it” damned if I’m wantin’
to sit in this well, but why fake
when anyone can tell?
Acceptance... if this is life n’ just how it is
Lord grant me the strength to...

“Delilah”
Can’t hope to comprehend
Not about to try n’ pretend
Why...? Why douse her light?
Dear God, it don’t feel right
I pray for her mom n’ family
Such a beautiful child, a gift to
all...She fulfilled HER destiny
Yet, gone far too soon for me...
Delilah, for the family, a shinin’ star
Now, in the company of angels I’m told
I guess the wonder, I’ll always hold
As night falls, you’ll be shining brightest by far....
R.I.P... my beautiful lil niece...

LOVE...it’s like...
A life n’ death struggle
fightin’ hard to flourish
as the opposition craves
only chaos in the rubble...
So fragile, a flower’s bloom
sweetly, beautiful to behold
yet, mindless mistreatment
spells eminent it’s doom...
Powerful, beyond belief
a cure for heart’s ail
without fail, would spell
real n’ true, relief...
N’ if I could be a compound
‘Pon which all of life needed
I’d replace the air, with love
n’ let the world breathe it!
