Poet Introduction
Poetry has always been a big part of my life, no matter how much I tried to run from it. This is my first real attempt at sharing and I’m open to criticism. Want to be the best I can be.

Dilemma
This job…
I hate it, so unmotivated
To even try
So uninspired, I feel my soul
Slowly slipping through my fingers
I feel my heart begging why
As it lingers on the floor crushed
Stomped upon like yesterday’s business
As if it never mattered.
My mind, well I try to piece it back together
But it’s shattered and scattered across this office
This desk feels like a prison
I no longer wish to shackle
Feeling so unhinged as I cackle
Just so I won’t drop a tear
I fear that I may be losing myself
Pouring so much...
I hate it, so unmotivated
To even try
So uninspired, I feel my soul
Slowly slipping through my fingers
I feel my heart begging why
As it lingers on the floor crushed
Stomped upon like yesterday’s business
As if it never mattered.
My mind, well I try to piece it back together
But it’s shattered and scattered across this office
This desk feels like a prison
I no longer wish to shackle
Feeling so unhinged as I cackle
Just so I won’t drop a tear
I fear that I may be losing myself
Pouring so much...

Eden’s Garden
So picture this...
You and me in the Garden of Eden
Relaxing and eating
The wonderful fruit that lay around
And even if you tire for some reason
He has prepared a place for us to lay down
In the pasture over yonder
And maybe after we ponder
What is we know, what we want, what we need.
Feeling like without you, my blood don’t flow and I can’t quite breathe.
As we are perched high above as can be
We witness a couple, Adam and Eve, partaking of fruit from the forbidden tree.
“Aww man” you say to me
“Big G gon make they ass...
You and me in the Garden of Eden
Relaxing and eating
The wonderful fruit that lay around
And even if you tire for some reason
He has prepared a place for us to lay down
In the pasture over yonder
And maybe after we ponder
What is we know, what we want, what we need.
Feeling like without you, my blood don’t flow and I can’t quite breathe.
As we are perched high above as can be
We witness a couple, Adam and Eve, partaking of fruit from the forbidden tree.
“Aww man” you say to me
“Big G gon make they ass...

Surf’s Up
Tell me baby
How deep is the water?
If I dive in now will I make it back to harbor
Harboring these thoughts of things
Only seen in adult movie scenes
Seems to be making it harder
To keep up with the tide
I’ll ride the wave even farther
Swimming deep into the ocean
I’m hoping these strokes
Can keep me afloat
I hope
You got your sea legs
Before riding this boat
Because I want them spread coast to coast
If you can’t take it then just let me know
We can take it slow
No need to rush because I...

My Black Woman
My Black Woman
My black woman...
Ain't she something!
Yes she is indeed
When a brother needs someone to watch his back she fulfills the need
You can find her at the front of the movement
Cause she ain't waiting on anybody else to do it
She follows if need be
but
If the time arises then she's prepared to lead
Cause if baby daddy decides to up and leave
Who else gon take care of them babies she gotta feed
Her grind don't stop when she hits struggle
That's when she turns up her hustle
Cause lord knows it's...

Church Pew
I remember sitting in that church pew
Looking over at you
Single tear falling down your face
Never fully aware of what you were going through
And the pain you had to endure
I’m sure in a different time and place
Circumstances would be different
Don’t you feel like something is missing
From your heart
Because I feel the void in mine
Funny how your pain ran so deep that it became mine.
Now you’re gone and it’s fine
Still even with all these thoughts on my mind
I feel I can find the strength to forgive
But...

Still even with all these thoughts on my mind
I feel I can find the strength to forgive

Writer’s Block
Writer’s block won’t let me through
However writers block out the noise
And just make do when it’s due
So I’m riding through the block
Just to catch a thought
That just might spark something new
Something that’ll make them say
“Damn that boy a fool”
Smooth, cool, and utterly true
The words from my pen are dipped in the pain
That I constantly try to avoid
Balancing all these issues I’m losing my poise
Fighting to give my best routine
But it seems, the judges won’t play it fair
So it’s gymnast the way I flip shit ...

Cotton candy sky, pink and blue
From down here such a beautiful view
And the feeling from this soft hue
Makes me think I have clue
As to what’s going on around
My head is held high, no looking down
And while it’s true
That I can’t be shaken
I’m still takin’
The time needed
To be greeted
By the sun
The only one
Who’s gentle kiss left me radiant
Not sure if I’m explaining it properly
Please don’t try stopping me
Just do your best to follow me
From down here such a beautiful view
And the feeling from this soft hue
Makes me think I have clue
As to what’s going on around
My head is held high, no looking down
And while it’s true
That I can’t be shaken
I’m still takin’
The time needed
To be greeted
By the sun
The only one
Who’s gentle kiss left me radiant
Not sure if I’m explaining it properly
Please don’t try stopping me
Just do your best to follow me
