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...

Good Night, Bad Day
I know...It'll be ALL right
Yet somehow, I still wanna die...
Not to be DEAD...Just, not alive
Not surprised, to see the other side
Where...I...NEVER...left
Or, better yet, not to RISE
...To go nowhere...
Whilst blind eyes stare...
At the back of eyelids
...Once lived
Now, no longer residing
Hiding, confined in...
...Any time & Any place...
With two pennies on my face
~~I~~floated~~away~~
Down Styx, a blue-grey river
Through a downpour mist, in the midst of torrential, purple rain
Like a wind blown kiss...
That...
Yet somehow, I still wanna die...
Not to be DEAD...Just, not alive
Not surprised, to see the other side
Where...I...NEVER...left

SENTIMENTAL
There's a place for Sentimental
It's just a shame, that she's deep inside my brain
Behind my issues
Incarcerated by the pain
Thorns & thistles
Her labor, in vain, is consequential
Confused & dazed
All she knows is that she'll never be the same
As time gets away
Sentimental prays to God everyday
That she can do the same thing
I treat her good though
Keep her safe, locked up & tucked away
Don't let her speak much
But we communicate in other ways
We meditate & reminisce
'Bout back in da day
Until she gets to...

Pretty Words
In the beginning, there was only the Word
Then the Word spoke...
EXPLODE!
And in an instant, the story was told
Our existence began to unfold
Created in this image, we all became words
Blessed with the ability to create more
Thoughts to pencil, then pencil to pad
Expression is beautiful, whether happy or sad
Bitter & mad
Tickled to death, overjoyed & glad
From the mundane to peculiar
Extraordinary to usual
We communicate in the past, present & future
We speak truth and at the same time
We all tell lies
But...

Words Can't Describe It
I'm not at a lost for them
So many cross my thoughts, I exalt my mind's talk with a pen
Then I read what was written
Lest I forget to remember what I meant...
It's in print
Some how my point is still missed, but...
I try!
Again & again I try to present
You & I, in a light that reminds me of times
When the shine, that was bright must grow dim
In the dark of the night, that we're in
Raising questions like why?
To the when?
Asking how we begin, wondering what is the end
But my words can't describe it
My voice is heard
I...

IN-FLEW-ANTS
Inspiration comes to me in swarms
Imbued, insect-ually encouraged
It stings, which in turn, prompts me to acknowledge
Making me think, while I bees waxing nostalgic
I wanna flea, but the itch urges me to keep scratching
I'm bombarded, by ideas harbored up in larva that's hatching
Motivation molts & changes like a natural reaction
My mind, stays elevated by this metamorphosis
Cobwebs, within my head, trap the inspiration close
This bug's life, I live, as a parasitic host
All the jive, that's in my hive, I just scribble down in notes
Illuminated...

Per diem
One begins
Right after another ends
They never stop, they keep going...
Continuous
Per diem... Per day
For each day that we're living
Your allotment,
What you're given
Is what you gotta take because that's all you gettin'
Plain & simple
We be forgetting to remember
That we did this before
Volunteered, made the decision to return
I could've stayed & just observed
I had it made in heaven
But I wanted to venture out and breathe again
So I did
Thank you God for the privilege while I'm in it
But when I get...

Easy, As Arduous Can Be
Easy, as arduous can be
Even for amateur novices like me
To ink, the opposite of obvious
...Ambiguously...
Promising, to turn Pro
Free...As though, I was an ex-Con first
And the last one to know
That I was destined to ride...
In the back of a hearse
From the day of my birth
To the night where I lurk
...With the darkness...
There...I just flirt with the light
I just search for a fight
Then I find peace
When I'm high as a kite
'Til I'm low as the tide
When, it goes to hide, and recede to the sea
Easy, as arduous can...
Even for amateur novices like me
To ink, the opposite of obvious
...Ambiguously...
Promising, to turn Pro
Free...As though, I was an ex-Con first

I Want My Poetry To...
I want my poetry to...
Be stoically cool & unaffected
For whosoever that views
What I poetically do
Gains innumerable clues to my perspective
I want my poetry to...
Be stories through, which, historically proves that I've been here
I need my ink made of food
For all to consume
So I know that everyone eats well
These tales, of mine
Any memorable lines
I want shared, with someone, who ain't been there
I want my poetry to...
Be told to a few
Compelled, those few choose to go re-tell
Spreading news, of my poems, in detail...

Of Despair
Chilled by the wet wind
Finding no comfort
Disoriented, but lucid in the moment
Of despair
I know I'll overcome it
But it'll always be there
The weight
Not to heavy to not lift up
Nice & steady 'til you get a hunch
Back Quasimodo
Almost the standard measure of a human
Cold and alone, I seek seclusion
Simply afraid
Not wantin' to partake in the confusion
I stay awake
When all I really wanna do is rest
I hesitate
Gather myself & still overreact
I'm a mess!
In a messed up place
Where gloom is in...
