Poet Introduction
The author of In Between the Eyes of Thought. I like to write about things that challenges you to think deeper.
Kisses Below
We met under the shadow of the moon
You didn't even know my name
You've kissed the cold blizzard from my lips
No other kiss will ever be the same
You've blessed me with kisses below
And I saw the universe open her eyes
Waters boiled and began to flow
What a beautiful, chaotic surprise
We met under the shadow of the moon
I didn't even know your name
You've kissed the cold blizzard from my lips
No other kiss will ever be the same
You didn't even know my name
You've kissed the cold blizzard from my lips
No other kiss will ever be the same
You've blessed me with kisses below
And I saw the universe open her eyes
Waters boiled and began to flow
What a beautiful, chaotic surprise
We met under the shadow of the moon
I didn't even know your name
You've kissed the cold blizzard from my lips
No other kiss will ever be the same

The Messenger
I'm a messenger messaging the news
Trying to educate my people from being abused
You all are complacent conforming to liars
Ignorance is bliss, but the truth is higher
Speaking to your hearing trying to penetrate your mind
An obstruction lives there right between the eyes
It's hard to irrigate; the mass is like scar tissue
I will continue to chisel until I deliver the issue
Read and decipher, study and relate
Know who you are so we can communicate
Question the answers and answer the questions
Healing will release the mind so...

Elevating My Mind
Subliminal shades invade my mind
I struggle to focus but it takes times
In the midst of my thoughts and dreams
Lay the messages of what I mean
My mind is wide, but the wise abuse it
They quote knowledge but fail to use it
Deceptive foods try to subdue me
Leaving messages of filthy debris
My mouth is open; my soul won't speak
The essence of my being remains weak
Stronger I elevate that's the only way
To the path I've chosen
But sometimes I may go astray
The realm I walk on is only a peek
of dimensions...

Drained to Rest
Sometimes my body feels drained
Like my soul is easing out the pores of my skin
Leaving me fatigued and in a paralyzed state
And wondering where my soul has been
I vision thirsty mouths with aiming straws
Standing all around me
Taking turns one by one
Siphoning all of my energy
I fall bonelessly to the floor
Managing to stretch my hands to the sky
Expecting the stars to pull me up
And give me a place to lie
Like my soul is easing out the pores of my skin
Leaving me fatigued and in a paralyzed state
And wondering where my soul has been
I vision thirsty mouths with aiming straws
Standing all around me
Taking turns one by one
Siphoning all of my energy
I fall bonelessly to the floor
Managing to stretch my hands to the sky
Expecting the stars to pull me up
And give me a place to lie

Midnight's Betrayal
When I married
I married alone
Not with a concubine
attached to his throne
You both were drowned
in each other's love
it was around midnight
he didn't even wear a glove
So, now you've stolen a page
one from my life's book
you've tasted my honeymoon
now you are a tasteless crook
This page has been burned
torched into flames
sometimes I can still smell the stench
from this past life remains
He has been dethroned
for his adulterous portrayal
and you've lost an eternal friendship ...

Story of a Survivor
In your dreams I heard you cry
You would never utter a reason why
The reflection of your aura revealed
That you had been suffering and needed time to heal
Sometimes you would cover your face at dinner
It was then made evident that he was a beater
I was only a child, but I remember the screams
I was confused about the incident and the beatings in between
Blow after hit and slapped before kicked
How could he love you inflicting lick after lick
Screaming and hollering this abuse had to end
Emergency plan put into action
You...

I Am In Love
Emotions of intense beauty
Penetrates the vision of my eyes
Dilates the crevices in my mind
Escalate the flows of my breathing
Quenches the valves of my heart
Flames the blood of my arteries
Warms the discs of my spine
Heightens the sensations of my senses
Elevates the aura of my existence
Demands the fullness of my attention
Surrender is inevitable...

Failed Love
A damaged soul
uses the strength of its rib
to anchor through lifeless tears
of a failed love
Lies breathless against turbulent winds
Lies pulseless beneath the open sky
A wet grave to rest a mournful soul
No longer searching for an answer to why
uses the strength of its rib
to anchor through lifeless tears
of a failed love
Lies breathless against turbulent winds
Lies pulseless beneath the open sky
A wet grave to rest a mournful soul
No longer searching for an answer to why

Escape
A lonely road leads to escape
tempting pills on her plate
she ate

Voluntary Transition
I just want you to know
That I am still grieving from years ago
the pain is the same
not anything has changed
I still look towards the sky
Questioning the reasons why
you transitioned and didn't leave a note
How does any of us suppose to cope
There was no plea for help
No help-me-take the next step
Wondering what secrets you kept
I never knew how you felt
Did you not trust me to see
or anybody
Taking your life was not the answer, girl
You have ruined so many futures and so many worlds
I can...
