POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
NATURE & LIFE
I was born in the ghetto so I sing the ghetto gospel
In a world full of cursed blessings and blessed curses
What do you expect? A bouquet of lilies?
Available is only tinted failure and blemished success
I preach fire but my vocals are cold
But so is the world
A portrait of lies with false answers to whys
Deceiving to the heart yet appealing to the eyes and unbelievably soothing to the ears
Through my life journey
Every single step triggers a dark sketch of emotions
Then I drift to a place of loaded riffles and frozen shadows
Where karma...

You me and a bottle of wine
You me and a bottle of wine
Let's stay out for the night is fine
Watch the stars while we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine
lean on me and give me a sign
Hold my hand and assure me you're mine
Let's share this moment as we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine
Taste my lips holy as divine
feel the warmth beneath my skin
Let's share the passion as we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine
Let's stay out for the night is fine
Watch the stars while we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine
lean on me and give me a sign
Hold my hand and assure me you're mine
Let's share this moment as we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine
Taste my lips holy as divine
feel the warmth beneath my skin
Let's share the passion as we travel through time
All we need is each other and a bottle of wine

Tears & Cries
From Ones through Twos
Nipping on to reason
Misinterpreting teachings
Corrupting our thinking
Menacing lost flowers to spears
Manipulating kind and loving hearts to hate fueled engines
Young bodies deceived in faith
Train in the art of carnage to dance to the rhythm of an AK 47
Followed by a flash grenade that always sends them to a deep frenzy
Transition from candles meant to light up the future
To the demons that help blow others out
It paints scary portraits
Where it manifests itself through the deceived in...

FEMME FETALE
The first
Time I was out
To drink my frustrations
Away before heading home
The second sip of the third
Glass of cheap but efficacious vodka
From my position a tall slender
But well defined curvaceous dark figure stood
In front of the light
Stealing away the visage
Like a ghost silently screaming for attention
Cursing a spell of dark Nigerian Juju into the bar
Mocking the capabilities of Professor X’s abilities
All eyes in the room glued
The figure started moving forward
As I stole a much flawless gaze to what was now...

5 minutes
sitted at the edge of the corner
on a rusty iron chair
next to me a bed with lies and bed bags
a slice of bread thin mattress
plus a bucket with a hazard sign
releasing some torturing stench
thoughts are racing
words on my mind
rhyme to my heart beat
mixed feelings, emotions and thoughts
haunting my spirit
what should I do
I'm I ready to die
if I repent my sins will I see heaven
Does God really exist
i remain silent
make peace with myself
for oh! Lord I've not been a saint
but still I am his creation

HEART THE LOVER
codes that I strongly stood for
But i broke them for you
Broken heart that was lost
But i had to find and fix it for you
Believed only in my self and I
But i created space for you
Never had faith in anything
But I had to trust in us
For you said without US there was no trUSt
But bieng the bitch you are
You had to spoil it all!
Funny how you'd take a bullet for someone
Only to realise they are the ones
cocking the gun and pulling the trigger
leaving an empty frozen shadow
in a swamp of sadness and sorrow
Tears must be shed and...

ArT!
I'm no president but I'll say this with a clean tone
so like Hillary you may call me Clinton
for all I wish is to speak fire
or even better call me Martin Luther King
yes! I do have a dream
that one day , yes one day
the world will appreciate Art
Art is a matter of the heart
and wehurt
when it's treated like dirt
for we are fragile about our "shit"
Today's gifted are painted in dirt
but we take heart
and autograph the the hate
like a Picasso painting
all in hope of a brighter future
that art shall live on
I call for...

YOLO
Ever heard the youthfull slogan YOU ONLY LIVE
ONCE(yolo)?
Yes the same one you use before doing something stupid.
An efficacious wordly brand on the lips of the young
generation meant to instigate courage and kill paranoia
consequently producing the young and reckless hiding behind
the fondle of a fallacious phrase... YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
(yolo).A misleading statement with fetal and dangerous
effects when blindly embraced.
To kill paranoia and face your fears you only need a truth...
