POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I Never Said Goodbye
Even though I never said goodbye
I guess you took it that way
You’re like all the dreams that we shared
You mysteriously faded away
I hope your smile and the passion in your love
Is still one in the same
Now your love is something
I didn’t wanna to lose
I understand that it’s a hard choice to make
Your love was magical I can’t seem to let go
I hope your old man feels the same...
So long as there’s no one to blame.
Memories are souvenirs that’s always there

Set Me Free
Depression can take you
Farther than those stones
It’s the emptiness of it all
Laying here in this field alone
Feathers that you left behind
I keep for wings of my own
Until I find the courage to fly
I hear the September wind
Blowing gently in my mind
Like reruns of you and me
Just kids lost along the way
I find comfort in them all
But they won’t set me free
Set me free
It’s more than the chain I bear
I wear this cross around my neck
Not a souvenir for the world to see
A reminder so the angels...

Back Then
What day was it Back then
Was it all in a summer’s day
Your body was next to mine
Your ear against my heart beating away
Please tell me it was more than a gesture
Two pinkies interlocking holding tight
I never really wanted to let go
Your not here to kiss goodnight
I miss that old farm and softness of your face
If I could just go back for awhile
I hope you’re something time doesn’t erase
Was it all in a summer’s day
Your body was next to mine
Your ear against my heart beating away
Please tell me it was more than a gesture
Two pinkies interlocking holding tight
I never really wanted to let go
Your not here to kiss goodnight
I miss that old farm and softness of your face
If I could just go back for awhile
I hope you’re something time doesn’t erase

Greater Height
All lives matter was coined
By the blood he shed
Unlike the human skin
Our destiny is written in red
We all share the same in desire
Race and culture we defend
Not with love scribed by a pen
With the sword of a political tend
Our children are our future
Their creation shouldn’t be temporary
If they never see the light of day
Our existence will surely miscarry
We’re all special within a voice of a dream
Red, Yellow, Brown, Black and White
To persevere the unborn heartbeat
With stone from...

September
A small white cake
A candle with a flame
I gently blow it out
My wish is always the same
As the clouds drift away
The stars ask do I remember
I wait for the sunrise
With the song of September
I miss all things we shared
All the things we never got to say
You’re always in my thoughts
Please forgive me... I just remember today
A candle with a flame
I gently blow it out
My wish is always the same
As the clouds drift away
The stars ask do I remember
I wait for the sunrise
With the song of September
I miss all things we shared
All the things we never got to say
You’re always in my thoughts
Please forgive me... I just remember today

A Flower In A Lapel
People are living in fear
Laid-off from a crisis they say
Terror in the streets, just outside their door
Some may think the end is near
Propaganda is all the news
Those who are right are wrong
Those who are wrong are right
Don’t judge until you walked in their shoes
A positive test can be such a task
Fourteen days in the hole
Locked in a political prison
With nothing but just a masque
Teachers no longer inspire or pray
A hand over heart is a penalty in the game
Systemic racism is just the walking dead ...

Blue
To protect and serve
A sacrifice to pursue
Ambushed in the streets
By terrorist and their political view
You’re loved and hated
Some see a different hue
I’m proud that you’re my brother
And your sacrifice in the color of blue
A sacrifice to pursue
Ambushed in the streets
By terrorist and their political view
You’re loved and hated
Some see a different hue
I’m proud that you’re my brother
And your sacrifice in the color of blue

A Spider’s Totem
Like a bandit, a thief in the night
Thought I’d steal her love and take a chance
She surrendered softly without a fight
Not knowing I was a victim of her circumstance
I awoke to curtains hanging all around
Sheets of silk felt inviting to my naked skin
She laid next to me, my hands were bound
She whispered so softly, let me tuck you in
Blinded by the diamonds, lost in her eyes
Her perfume filled the air like a Jasmine tree
I was in too deep helplessly hypnotized
A sting of passion like a sweet honey bee
She...

My Mind Slips Away
Somewhere between the Ocmulgee and Tallapoosa
My mind slips away back beyond yesterday
A dew with some jack
A tee top chevy a Skynyrd eight track
Play it pretty for Atlanta always takes me back
I still feel the sun shining on your face
Making memories that time can't erase
We drove that chevy into the night
Passing through jukin city
like on an airplane flight
Playing tracks 2 and 3 over and over
for what seemed like an eternity
Your simple man was all I ever wanted to be

Daydreaming
When I think of you
I get so high
Like a diamond kite
In the big blue sky
Without a care in the world
I’m so happy you’re my girl
When I think of you
I hear my favorite song
Makes me feel outta sight
I always sing along
Spinnin’ like a forty-five
Baby I feel so alive
When I think of you
All my sadness goes away
My passion starts to ignite
I think about how we play
I get weak in my knees
It’s all about the birds and bees
When I think of you

Does It Sound Familiar
I’m always alone
Here in my mind
Your soul my spirit has mined
Your heart is something I can’t find
I live only in my dreams
I wish you were here
Your voice is something I can’t hear
From the echos of a shell I hold near
I sit where the waves meets the sand
No one around only the sound of the sea
Until the sunsets until I can no longer see
Your memories are like waves crashing on me
I’ll never be able to say goodbye
I hide my tears with invisible mask
Was our life just a unrehearsed masque ...

Wednesday
I heard that conductor calling
Calling all aboard
I swore I wouldn't buy ticket
I'm on these tracks again
She wasn't just a woman
She was my best friend
Yesterday all my problems seem so far away
Only to have them back today
I don't know where I am
I want things the way they once were
Oh train take me back to her
Sittin' here at the station
There’s no need to pretend
I see the caboose could this be the end
I feel that wind stirring inside
I hear that conductor saying let's take a ride
