Leaving The Face
Fall off...
...The Face...
...Of the World
Placed...Somewhere, in space
Above the norm
Just looking around...Looking at how
It's all been done!
We want....We get, what we've been looking 4
We have God!
The Father, Son...Holy Ghost & Love
But forreal Lord...We got, just enough to want more
Adopt, to feel y'all and try to touch, with more than hands
When what expands then, implodes
Explodes all over
When we all
Fall off...
...The Face...
...Of the World
Bored, and, irresponsible
Hordes, of us falling
In Love...

The Audacity of Hate: A True Story
Like, so on & so forth
Of course
Hate has, and will always, go on
In the wake of, Love's tragic mistake
He, feeling all alone, inexplicably needing to create
Thinking...
Seeing himself, believing...
"God! I AM boring"
Exploring possibilities, then, seeking a mate
And as fate would have it
Lo and behold, the introduction of Hate
Just now awake, and already feeling entitled
But going about it the wrong way
Undeserving, though, made to feel wanted
Hate never appreciated being born from Grace
See, Hate, went...

Confessions of an Opened Book
Approached, by unbeknownst & hesitation
Pulled from my shelf, dusted off, and made available
Laid...On a table, and curiously opened up
In essence, dead...Until someone looks
Brings me back to life
Reads me like a book...About minds
Delves deep into mine
And find, that they'll lose themselves
Peruse in stealth
Secretly feel, what I've already felt...What I lay on the line
Within the confines, of my yellowed pages
Please, by all means, be my guests
Be over zealous...While you analyze my contagion
Investigate the contamination and...

We Met
Finally!
We met...
No...
Better yet, we merged
Into the dimly lit, unknown
Where we splurged, almost
Indulged, in appetizing hors d'ourves...Served, from our better selves
Damaged...Though, not disturbed by our mental health, being questionable
Unrehearsed, and susceptible to the misgivings of our hearts
You know...
Those irreparable parts, that tend to break so easily
In to broken memories, when love goes awry
Each, & every time
Like a facsimile of lies, and...

Old Man Strength
Blessed!
With old man strength
Now that I'm older
Strong enough to lift the world upon my shoulders
The South Pole on my back...Helps relax, being colder, when the heat gets closer
Like a boulder of crack and one smoker
Seven billion fiends all over, wanting that
Sometimes...
I feel like they're gnats and I'm the giant Atlas
As a matter of fact, I'm big, black, & defiant
Outcast & Pariah
I am the dark...In night's sky
Forged in sin
I, Nephilim
Heroes of old...Men of renown
The bastard children, of fallen angels...

Dear GOD,
Dear GOD,
Hello
I'm glad that you could fit me in your schedule
For everything you've done & you do, Sir, I thank you
Or Ma'am, I don't remember if you have a gender
If I'm lost...I hope you labeled me "Return To Sender"
So I can be enveloped in your splendor
Oh Holy mentor, oh merciful giver
I know you're near, so it must be me that's far away
Frozen in fear, trapped in the enemy's snare
Now I'm blinded by the light of your benevolent grace
I AM here! and you shared
Your loving embrace
I'm so nervous!
Hoping this...

...Betrayal!
..Betrayal!
That's what I get...
With every new relationship...I manage
And even in the old ones established
...Shit Happens...
Then...It's damaged!
When reactions persist and keep happening
Where trust don't exist...Where we had it
What was once serious, got me laughing...'til it hurts
And dirt gets thrown between us
Burying the okey-doke procedures that lead to...
...Betrayal!
From those who deceptively claim one thing, but do the other with no disclaimer
I'm talking...Shit, that be major!
Not minor issues...
