Poet Introduction
My intentions are for you to feel me.
I too am deep
i too am deep
-In response to A.D. Carson
Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters; they have seen the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.
Psalms 107:23-24
if you could get in a boat
and physically navigate through my mind,
if you could physically set sail on the waters of my being,
you would see that that the currents of these waters are still.
i’m not trying to make you feel as though you are on the water during a catastrophic hurricane,
storming you with all the moody winds of emotional word...

Judas Iscariot
Judas Iscariot
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes.
Proverbs 6:25
What’s the reason for the things I’ve been doing? I’m moving away from the foundation because something has been brewing.
I try to be honest, I try to be selfless, I try to keep promises, but yet I’m still helpless Cuz’ my feelings are flying away, I can’t feel em’ I’m trying to pray But the spirit of Love is above and distrust mixed with Lust is a bloodsucking bug biting the skin of...

Grey
But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:11
Grey.
In between the two,
I am,
And my soul feels the tension.
I pray,
And as my pen sings it’s blues,
My hands stand by hope still wishing…
That Love would go the distance and hate would go missing.
Broken-hearted by the war between black and white.
Racism must die.
Sincerely.

Money Grows on Trees
Money grows on trees
We live in a land where a piece of paper defines a mans worth. A piece of paper I said, separates a man who has a heart that beats, lungs that breath, legs to walk, eyes to see, lips that smile, and a soul that feels what is real out here in this world from another man with a heart that beats, lungs that breathe, legs to walk, eyes to see, lips that smile, and a soul that feels.
A piece of paper man.
This piece of paper can't
Talk. At least not literally...besides if money was not so high on a pedestal then the phrase "money...

You are my Wings
You are my Wings
I was on the edge
And there was no where left to go,
Nothing left to do but
What I didn't want to do.
I had no wings.
I asked God and he told me to
Jump.
With my back against the world I
Jumped and I began to
Glide.
I was on the edge

With Everything In Me
From the beginning to the...There is no end
My intimacy for you is infinite within.
I Love You
Like the wolf loves the
Ominous moon and the way it
Vexes him.
Even though it is light
Years away it is always
On time.
Unrelenting, Everlasting, Infinite.

Sodom and Gomorrah
Sodom and Gomorrah
They mourn, they mourn
They mourn, they mourn
The horn is soon to blow.
For days and nights without an end
He's warned the few who know.
Wicked atrocities fill the land while
men and women kneel to sin the fire's
Brewing, craving man and waiting for the Makers hand.
Lucifer is all around even though you may not see, carbon dioxide will kill you
in a matter of minutes despite it's lack of visibility.
Open up your eyes I say,
The storm is right behind us.
The enemy so unfriendly and
Racing just...

-My Thoughts About America
In a Nation
Where money chasers
Don't make a way for
The people who stomach achin'
The only advice they gave em'
is pave your way
or be raisins.
You either prey over the money or you pray
up to God,
Whatever it is that you believe in
Love it with all your heart.
The money make you so hungry that you set your soul
on fire,
All because of the greed you burned out like
old tires.
But we need security we
can't even eat for free
and women tease for the
cheese
and people rattin' to be free.

The Wolf in Me
The wolf in me
You are my light in this darkness my
Rose who pushed her way out of the concrete
And Rose…Girl you really make me howl consistently.
As I sit under you I wonder who placed you
Way up there
So far from me
Yet so close at the same time
It hurts me every night when it is time for you
To go because I have to face reality
Again and perceive the world for what it really
Is.
Is this what it really is?
A huge mass of revolving crust filled with waters of unknown depths and land overpopulated by people...

Thirsty Branches
Thirsty Branches
Vacant of leaves and longing
For some warm breeze to lift them up but
The bite of the wind and its glacial sting overshadow that wanting.
Sitting on this patio thinking
While my skin receives the chills every time the cold wind hits me like Babe in the 9th and makes me consider stealing base into my oven baked room
But na…I keep thinking about the world, and how cold it is
Wars against other nations leaving mothers without children and family members who have not seen each other in years finally getting to have a reunion

Mayday
Mayday
-For my mother
Two decades have flown by.
I look back but the smoke blurs my vision.
Speaking of vision…
My wings have carried me this far so
Why land now?
It is the only way out.
Almost to the clouds that I see in my dreams,
Almost to your smile which my eyes have never seen.
Ill never see it if I do not chase it.
Ironic he flew on a one-way trip with your happiness,
But I was your luggage for nine months.
He left you and me.
Such a thief he was, such a thief he is.
That is one thing that I will not be.
The flight...
