POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just an average dude expressing my views.
Confined Inside Her Mind
The sands of time weighed heavily on her mind
She exposed her black rose but still felt confined
Desiring to find escape routes damaged her petals
Affecting her psyche, nightly, in ways detrimental
Mental health took a trip and dipped into the dark abyss
Smoking spliffs with spirit sips became harder to resist
She developed a habit and had to partake of it everyday
A gateway to stronger things that eventually took her away
She exposed her black rose but still felt confined
Desiring to find escape routes damaged her petals
Affecting her psyche, nightly, in ways detrimental
Mental health took a trip and dipped into the dark abyss
Smoking spliffs with spirit sips became harder to resist
She developed a habit and had to partake of it everyday
A gateway to stronger things that eventually took her away

Breviloquent Poet
Breviloquence in creativity takes ingenuity
Its eloquence doesn't come all that easily
With difficulty, effectively conveying messages
While skillfully minimizing extra verbiages
Courage is needed when sharing creations
For transparency exposes poet's emotions
As oppositions be seeking weakened armor
Remain vigilant, charismatic word charmers
Gaining admirers and haters simultaneously
Cause jealousy plus envy emerge eventually
Inevitably, negative energy will present itself
Humbly, yet unapologetically, stay true to...

You're My Everything
Your eyes display an image of me that no mirror reveals
Your lips speak the sweetest things to help my heart heal
Your breast provide a soft place for me to rest my weiry head
Your touch comforts me whenever I wish that I were dead
Your kiss brings me bliss and dismisses my depression
Your hips when they dip provide my body with passion
Your compassion for my plight brings light into my darkness
Your companionship gives me strength in my moments of weakness
Your confidence in my ability increases my energy to sustain

Incorrigible Fear
It's a nice sunny day
As I look all around
The kids still can't play
On the merry-go-round
No sounds of laughter
And traffic is minimal
For now and maybe after
People are less hospitable
Incorrigible due to fear
Anxious beyond repair
Once we're given the all clear
Will they let down their hair
As I look all around
The kids still can't play
On the merry-go-round
No sounds of laughter
And traffic is minimal
For now and maybe after
People are less hospitable
Incorrigible due to fear
Anxious beyond repair
Once we're given the all clear
Will they let down their hair

Ms. Corona's Wrath
Corona's building tall walls around us all
Like she decided to answer Trump's call
Stalling so many things within society
Her scorned wrath is fiercely mighty
I'm wondering what did we do to her
Hoping that we can change the score
As we endure being placed in isolation
Powers that be are creating immunizations
It doesn't fit in the equation for my well being
Requests to ingest that are ones I'm declining
Trusting is something that's not easy for me
Considering my country tis of thee's history

The Chemistry of Idolatry
They're all false idols so stop the idolatry
Read the equation then peep its chemistry
We shouldn't be putting thee on pedestals
Following their every move like imbeciles
Have principles that you choose to abide by
The lights, cameras, & actions are visual lies
Realize the mind tricks and clever gimmicks
Visualize the magician with his magic stick
Pick the lock that blocks your mental freedom
Knowledge's the key to each cerebral kingdom
Being dumb, to some, equates to being bliss
The entertainment industry's...

Light Of Wounds
Art is a wound that turns into light
Creative expressions of other's plights
Invites inside minds of their creators
Deduced by our mental calculators
Interpreters converse about translations
Subjective plus objective are conclusions
Sometimes they're delusions of grandeur
Even composers may give volatile answers
Sorcerers conjuring up magical elixirs
Consumers consuming vivid pictures
Life's depictors mentally and physically
Evoking arrays of feelings emotionally

Hardened Heart
I'm so thankful to have you right next to me
The union of our love seems destined to be
An agape type of love in its purest of forms
In such a short time, we've weathered many storms
I've written many poems expressing my feelings
We've got far to go as we blow through glass ceilings
Mutually healing from the traumas of our past
Avoiding all drama, allowing Karma to whoop some ass
I know that we'll last until death do us part
You've filled multiple vacancies within my ill heart
Many had to depart cause they kept on jivin' ...

Ultimate Test
Conveying more by writing less
That's this poet's ultimate test
Doing my best to accomplish this
Editing poems with due diligence
Improving intelligence as I go along
Making my creations flow like a song
Singalongs in poetic forms of stanzas
Use of a metronome may be the answer
So even dancers can tap to the cadence
While shining bright with a Sun's radiance

PSA WORDPLAY
I'll never judge another based off the color of their skin
The content of their character displays what's within
That's my paraphrased quote from Martin Luther King
Whose wisdom and understanding conveyed the same thing
But I will not be singing We Shall Overcome
I'd rather greet my enemies with a 50 round drum
So when they come with the smoke, I'll make 'em choke
You can bet your bottom dollar that I'll always go for broke
No joke, so take note, and proceed with caution
Or else it'll be me, not Covid-19, putting you in a coffin...

Mind Over Heart Matters
Use your mind more than your heart when deciding to commit
That's an effective way to minimize the amount of bullshit
Sit and analyze the girl or guy that currently has your eye
Think long and hard then decide if they're worthy of your time
Don't let love blind you to the truth that lies before your eyes
Utilize your third eye to see those wearing disguises
Never share your pie with anyone who only has an appetite
Make them contribute to the table before they take a bite
