Poet Introduction
Thought Full
Prensent Reality
What ever I have lost,brings me no grief or rob me of sleep. Whatever is behind me yesterday can keep. So I don't hang on to pain, or sorrows, because my past has no place in my tomorrows. So listen closely to what I have to say, my yesterdays has passed, and I am happily grateful, that I woke up today. Never will I let no ones perceptions become my bars, I won't let yesterdays blades of pain, leave my heart with scars. Because I realize as I reach for the moon, I have already grasped the stars. Fire flies are more beautiful when they are not trapped inside jars. In this...

Thinking for Change.
I have hope and dreams, bullet riddle nightmares, as mothers cry for their sons, with pain filled voices and hopeless screams. I can't take it as the sorrows of tomorrow, has my heart busting at the seams. Flashing lights and bodies out lined in chalk, and it's my reality. not a script projected on a movie screen. Roll a blunt, snort a bag trying to escape the scenes. Eyes soaked praying to God. Asking the lord why we do such dreadful things. Death is the puppet master where I am from, a man with a gun in his hand, becomes a puppet and death controls the strings. Fathers in prisons doing...

How I see I
Dark clouds with no silver linings, no silver spoons to own. The streets may have been cold to me, but I always found love at home. Yes the world may be cold but I will never let it rob me of my life essence or my throne. I am a man in every sense of the word, from my soul to my bones. And when I look in the mirror at myself. I realize I am the greatest love I ever known. Because when I fought the toughest battles in life I fought them all alone. From superman to man. And it doesn't take xray vision to see how much I grown. My tears were the sustenance for correcting my errors, and I...

Love connection
I love you with out question, me loving you was never a burden, it was blessing and lesson. Every word I speak is true, the words you take as poems are my heart confessions. I love you without error or blunder, my love for you never sleep or slumbers, so you need not to doubt, or wonder. So there is no need for you to roam. Just spread your wings and come back home. And I will marry you. Because that's all I ever wanted to do.

I'm Falling
I'm falling everytime I think about you. I'm falling and if our love was a lie, why does it feel so true. Why when you're not at my side, I feel like the sky above, and feel so blue. And when you're at my side, I feel like you're a stream, and I am a canoe. I'm falling in and out of love and I don't know what to do. My arms are holding nothing but my heart is holding on to you. It seems to not want to accept the reality that you and I are through. And logic does not out weighs the emotions, and what are mighty waves without the oceans? Baby tell me what is the magic of love, if...

Am
Some say I am insane, like a mad dervish spinning in the wind. Yet this cold world is draining my soul, as these words are causing the draining of my pen.
Yes I am baring my soul naked, as I go skinny dipping in my sins. Yes I bare my soul naked, as I feel the slipping of my skin.
I am every snowflake, every colorful leaf that falls, every shooting star, every insect that crawls. I am the laughter of children, the bouncing of balls.
I am the coming and the goings, I am the announcer of all.
I am the sun I am the moon. I am the summer madness, the seducer of...

How
God I'm calling your name, because the world we're living in is burning in flames. So many tears in this world because so many of us are dying for change. So many broken arrows flying in every direction, shot by blind archers with nowhere to aim. Children with no where to run to, are running to gangs. World governments don't care. Lies fleeing their mouths all for political gain. Morals has no place here, in a world where most only chase money and fame. Drug dealers dealing death in the streets and they call it the game. How can we have hope when no hope remains. How can our...

You said you loved me
So you said you love me, and I believed as a child would believe in the tooth fairy. Oh what foolishness I carried. In the fairy tales of reality. I thought it would be you I would marry. No happy ending only thing I believe now is that you were pretending, Just masquerading hearts in the fog. No magical kiss no princess, no prince no frog. Sadly ever after sits a lonely man like a bump on a log. So you said you loved me, and my ears believed every word. Now without my heart beating loudly for you it's the biggest lie I ever heard. Yet I love myself and found the love I deserve. So...

Prisoner
Imagine being locked in a prison, yet there are no cold steel bars, no guards no locks no keys.
No other inmates but you.
No razor wire fences to keep you in. You're free to go wherever you want, you are free to go to beach and wiggle your toes in the sandy ocean. Free to go to the park, mingle with friends and loves ones.
There is no limit to do anything you want to do. Only limit is the freedom to be you. What if your bars are what other people would think of you. Or how they would feel if they can see you. All of you, the things you don't like about yourself ...

You're not broken.
You're not broken, you're the cresting of waves, the motion of oceans. You're full of beauty the magic of potions. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for, to tell yourself you're broken, don't accept or believe that no more. You are the moon and stars, a wonderful universe to explore. For you love will endure, because it's you it adores. You are a Queen upon your throne, a knight well appear beside you. So you won't fight your battle alone. He well stay at your side no matter, what you're facing or going through, because loving and caring for you will be a easy thing for...

Harlem Roof Top
Upon this roof top I stare out at the stars. I am not disturb by the city life, the coming and going of people the beeping of cars. I had escape the madness of misery, and people weeping in jars, my thoughts are like a Olympic athlete leaping to Mars. No open wounds seeping pain. The removing of scars. No police no jail cells no loud banging or the clanging of bars. No sad thoughts to hold. No more chasing bad memories that poison my soul. Only good memories more precious than gold. On this roof top thinking of all the inner battles I fought. Now a days I find myself running...

King Inside
My lady I am not a beaten thing. My robe may be worn crown may be cracked, yet I am still a King. Just like David who slayed a giant with just a rock and sling. I heard of a dragon called defeat, yet I never feared such a thing. I feared falling into the dust. Because I never had the fear to rise again. I need no army to be my guard. Because I am the might I am the charge. And I am filled with love. And you will never meet a man with a heart so large. Yes my lady I am brave and bold. I survived in this jungle bearing the heat and cold. If you scrape the surface of me. You...
