Does Love go Looking for Love
As I escavate this vast landscape
Mounds of golden sands, winds,
With it, it is easily tossed
I’m a foreigner, thankfully dressed as a native
As the heat of this journey tempts me with mirages of oasis(es)
Civilizations, as I know it, never seen it,
Except through the heart of my understanding
Forever enlightened
THROUGH Daily prayer, YOU SEE
I eat from sparrow beaks
Took my hood on this divine journey
A streets disciple
Nasir raised me
Ghetto children, boys and girls
THROUGH THEIR Second and third childhoods ...
Mounds of golden sands, winds,

Except through the heart of my understanding

A voice that cries out in the silence
Deafening sireens
Come NEARER, COME NEARER
COME CLOSER

Come see,
What the Spirit has to show to thee….

I hear ye

You and you and you!

Love After Death
I’m the closest to my own death when I’m asleep
So if I invite you into my bed
Know that im prepared for eternity…
A forever, I cant ever take back
My time
The time we shared
Shirley saw the days dawning
Realizing
Something that this is not mine
I’ll sang, as we lay
But as we lay
Im simply saying
My soul is rest assured you are
That that you say you are
As I am
My king
I decree
Solidify, this time, no matter the time
Ww3 or the Babylon’s revealing
I will stand
And be accountable to man ...
So if I invite you into my bed
Know that im prepared for eternity…

Faith
Faith...
The underlying current of my hope lies deep within the crevasses of my being...
An art...
Carefully crafted through the calligraphy of His majesty...
The true Author...
Of my pages...
Chapter 1, chapter 2...
Who knew?
That the Corrina Corrinas of this world...
Would gaze upon mute mouths and not accept the complacency of how?
But actualize the wonder of her woman to be...
Through voice and graceful pen...
His penmanship, would create odysessys and wayfaring pilgrimages...
Of war and peace and the overcoming...

Necessary Days

I didn't have my coffee...
Ran out shorts...
I'm short, on funds...
No job, looking at reruns of Martin...
And I'm warring,
Within and without
No doubt
With preconceived enemies...
Damn...
These kids hollerin' they hungry...
Scratchin' and itchin'...
I'm fienin' for a releasing...
The pain I'm embracin'...
Regret this disaster...
Of waking up with no will for a way... Out
Get out...damn get out...
Broken and worn...
I've had enough of today, this hour, this minute... ...

Heaven
Heaven...
A land of no worries...
Some boast of its flowing milk and honey...
I dream ignorantly of a bliss...
No longer living in the resentment of this life's present affliction...
It has to be a place...
Better...Than... This...
This heaven you speak of...
I'm actually now curious of, because...
If indeed, a place of reward of faithful duty and complacent servitude...
Would I finally take heed to a righteous calling?...
Adhere fanatically to unnatural divine creeds and finally pledge an allegiance to an invisible deity?... ...

Precious love
Gentle as a star flakes kiss
I find myself in a blizzard of pleasure and contradiction
the extascy of a New-found-land
You've travelled across foreign lands
With gifts in tow
Throughout the tundras of the unknown
Embracing icy elements
That is my
Heart beats over frigid waters
Titanics of never-letting-go's
Forsakened promises from those
Who simply did not know
What would become of the prisms of my love's triangles...Finally
Becoming one with me
Overcoming the Icelands of this season's...

Dear Purpose
Dear Purpose,
I want you to know that I'll pursue you with everything in me...
Where I won't be confused with every decision I choose...
I won't lose, sight of you...
Keep your eyes on the prize, they say...
Buy what is it but you?
Purpose
With every rhyme and reason...
No longer guilty of the treason...
Violation of your majesty...
I want you to know I'll find you...
Hold you and cherish you...
You're entwined in my heart and sinews...
The veins of every innate beat...
She rejoices in her Creator...
Try...

That Was Not Poetry That Was Just Sex (Collaboration Piece)
That wasn’t poetry that was sex…
5 lines with strokes so divine
mind blown then Time slowed
he said Arch that. She rode Grind mode
then Reggae played wine mode Speed it up
double time
once it was wet enough to beat it up.
half time he eat it up
69 she keepin up.
That wasn't sex
it was poetry
the way you flowed with me
aftermath holding me after blasts
I hit my peak and you hit yours
opened windows behind closed doors
don't get comfortable though
its not that I want you to go
its just that my heart...

Why Can't I Turn My Heart Off (Collaboration Piece)
Why can’t I turn my heart off?
My light is dimmed
Heart is broken
I’m worn
And torn
The casing around my lungs
Is collapsing
Im gasping
Because Im tryna breathe again
With these same lungs
You blew breath in
Second wind
And my best friend
How I died a thousand deaths and this feels like the first time
I tried. And tried again
To win your trust back again
Fuck that
I tried and tried again
Cheered you on to win my trust back again
But here we go again
Fighting, spitting and leaving

To my twin brother Harvery from Katrina
12 years, 12 seconds
Doesn’t make a difference
From the same mother Earth
Gaia on fire
When the atmospheres hear of
Warm water and cool air
Humans cringe in fear
The catastrophe- awaiting them
Twin brother
Fraternal and eternal
There’s no rivalry
When we part the sea
Oceans
The waves obey the Master
We’re sent to do a chosen deed
To take heed
