Me First
So I say, me first
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled,
Somebody say “me first”
I say Me First, not in spite, just divine insight…
Because we black 365 live!
In 2024 366 because we true to this!
Somebody say “me first”
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled, me first
Not in spite, just divine insight
I say Me First…
Because among us are allies,
Who can relate to betrayal and lies,
I say Me First though,
Because we all have a common enemy in this war for your spirit,
Your inheritance…
Because the charge is for all those, ...

Hello again September...
A kind intermission to what's to come
The FALL is coming again,
As the veil tarries only a little while longer,
Has our preparation been in vain?
I ponder the perfection that awaits
Revisiting the reflections that reach for resolution,
Lord knows I've been waiting to exhale...

Covenant
Keep your head to the sky...
Through adversity and times of deafening silence...
He holds the key to Zion...
Granting giftings to seek after Him
While its early
Turn inward early
To seek and discover
Recover the lost tapes of conversations we once had
Come reason with me
I love thee
Return to me
All of me into all of you
Get a bird's eye view
Even my eye is on the sparrow
Harrowing through the turbulence
Of this mortal existence
I know the burden
Give it to me
Release me
Don't limit me
I am He...

A Haiku
Ground me in your earth
Til the tilting of the tides
Speak to still the streams
Forever yearning but never quenching the quiet of words left unsaid...

The Beauty in the Beast
I, the Beast to His Beauty...
His butterfly effect in reflection that flicker of a thousand lights,
the pain of yesteryears, yes I hear with my inner ear, every tear...
I'd let my soul die again just to see you win...
Listen,
I, the Beast to His beauty
Comely and black as tarred
Scarred from the constant beatings of love
And lust
This crush, wasn't meant to be
But here we are
Face to face
Eye to eye
With every growling, the pain groans
The healing erupts
I am for real
I am real, pinch me

Show Me
Give me that love, love
Show me that good good, love, love
Find in me that love
Examine the reigns and veins that purposed my life from the beginning...
I need thee
RELEASE ME
In the mitochondria
I'm like a locomotive
With diamonds and pearls no longer the motive
Just the true and living
King
In me...
Show me, your brilliance
Your resilience
Your substance
The essence that binds us to eternity
Oh yes, today...
Show me love, love

Mine...
When I expound on the depths of his love and grace
I'm in awe,
Keep drawing from eternity's well,
I spring forth,
Leap with the blessed assurance of all things in times,
Wait for love
He is
Love
Tragedy and triumph
Mickey to my Rocky
Rockying the weathers, whether or not
Live or die
Like a man
Girded like a man
Reflection
Of my Father
Enduring the tides like the crashing
He...
Walks on turbulent waters
Skiing even, in the coldest of tundras
Dived under, to seek me ...

Help Meet
Transcendence is the persistent pursuit of excellence
Optimizing ideals of the greater hope
Submission is the mission
The execution is life giving, earth bearing, fire flaming, water cleansing, soul resurrecting,
Plant me like a seed among the trees in the garden of our making
Hedge hold the virtues of mined gold
Every pearl of wisdom adorned through the alchemy of synergy
Pain pressing
Diamond from coal
I was warned of the hearts of stone
Eyes waxed over in darkness
Let light guide the child
What the struggle brings ...

As The World Turns
As the world turns
Keep me grounded in wisdom
Hope in those embers
Steady in her burning
Never in futility but faithfully
Charging Eves to come out of iniquity
Adhering to the call to remember me
The idolatry of indecision
Rebelling in isolation
I need you to rebel with me
Alongside the hope of eternity
The heat of my passion
Longs for the assurance of understanding
Keep loving me, despite of me
Where no beauty nor comeliness was found in me
But the reasoning with me
To expose hidden histories
Remove far...

Love and War
Love and war spar in seasons
Synchrony in its order of things
Unearthing mettle with benevolence
Cultivating synergy for the unity of matrimony
Sacred purposes and confounding variables
Complicate the simplicity of coexisting
Spar with me
For its love that conquers all through war,
Fares, paid in the rare quietus of ego...
