POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just an average dude expressing my views.
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

Flawless Masterpiece
D'Angelo nor Michaelangelo could create something as beautiful as you
You're like a symphony and a masterpiece that belongs in the Louvre
You've got me in awe like a star shining bright up in the sky
You're like a movie star without flaws who always looks fly
I can't deny my infatuation with your demonstration
Your aura puts me on cloud nine like a flotation elevation
The emitting vibrations pull me in majestically
From our first encounter we've had undeniable chemistry
Your anatomy causes me to be physiologically aroused

Unmasked
She removed her disguise to be seen by the naked eye
This seductive Empress displaying her breast & her thighs
Giving rise to the eyes of both guys and ladies alike
Who'd like her thighs to ride their faces like motorbikes
A caramel delight that might be a sinful addiction
Her appearance quickly garners abundant attention
Libations flow from below like a thirst quencher
If you know how to make your tongue roll like a twister
This sista stays in the spotlight and is a delight for the eyes
When she walks away, you'll enjoy...

Digiorno
What do you ingest when partaking of my poetic flow?
Does my delivery pleasantly feed you like Digiorno?
Would you eat more than a slice if the price was right?
Do I need to adjust before I bust or is my shot group tight?
I write about an array of things that I'd like to see change
Plotting on my enemies strategically like a rival gang
Trying to maintain before being written on their walls
The strong survive but we'll all die and eventually fall
