The Silver Spectrum
The silver spectrum,
Shiny, dull, ingrained shades
Betwixt black and white,
Were aged as
To coin cheap change,
Like a toss-up
Between life and death,
As coffins sparkle luster
From skeletal forms inside,
In the difference between
Gargoyles and graves,
Holding spirits at bay
Presumably sacred,
Had fault lines, fallen,
A forgotten infallibility,
When the exchange rate
Of a hearse spikes
To the plummet of
Funeral, burial,
Pastoral eulogy....

Sunshine for Your Inner Sunflower
Sunshine for Your Inner Sunflower
I lie by your side as a sultry summer breeze blows ripples in your skirt. Leaves rustle in the wind. Your dark feathery hair is blown about. It cascades down your shoulders in waves of silky gossamer. Petals are strewn around us in a carpet of nature’s bullion but soft as a whisper on a spring breeze. The field is a wild garden alive with splashes of sunlit stalks crowned like sun kings.
Gazing into your eyes an ocean of sadness spreads out before me. Dark shadings of love are shadowed by numbing coolness. I see your uncertainty as you...

THE VENDETTA THAT PAID ITSELF - Part Two Vengeance
I recovered from my madness. I was seventeen and I was ready to give the world another go. Things were getting good again. I was taller, stronger, and I getting my confidence back. I had got it together and started college in the scenic paradise that was the city of Bath. The women were posh, and to them I was rough enough to be of interest. The dark days of throwing up in the crème bathroom after a day’s drinking and smoking were long past. I didn’t feel like I was better than them, I just knew that there were better things out there than that. I wore sharper clothes and had walked away...

Henry and S.
Henry and S were in the midst of love making. Something was peculiar about S that night. She was horny. Yes she was the horniest creature on earth and to his greatest surprise he could not make it out why. They had a good relation, nice friendship, but when it came to sleeping together even though she never said no. She seemed withdrawn in her world. She liked being touched, kissed, embraced and penetrated. But there was no glitter in her eye. This day she seemed a creature from hell that had just taken the worst potion of all and was just perplexed, thrown in the floor, battered, in pain...

"Get It Out!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lights flicker…
Jingle Jang of the keys,
About every fifteen.
Chaos and comatose;
No sleep for lord who knows,
Stuck in a pendulum swing.
Jingle jang,
Go the keys.
Stuck in a loop;
Visions from unwanted ketamine,
At only Eighteen,
Drizzled into my leg,
Needled in circlets of slicing flesh,
Calm, Chained and Detained as I was…
I wondered, why the man in uniform and health chose to drug me so severely. ...

Excerpts from a talk on the Tajitu (a little long)
a blind man finds the feminine inside
While I'm in complete agreement with you, I find the term 'feminine' to be incredibly limiting, over used and mis-used when talking about the balance of the Tajitu. I personally would never use the term 'feminine' to describe the immense scope of spirituality, though I would also never perceive it's use in a negative way if someone else used it. It's all about balance but the words I associate with balance might be a little different than yours. Most humbly yours
Feminine… the receptive acceptance of primordial being
Yes,...

Tongue-in-cheek self-critique
This is hopeless.
This so-called poem
Is making me gag.
Dead on arrival
Complete with toe tag.
See what happens when
You try to write dopeless?
The muse, as you can see,
Has not yet come,
Nor are you, with your lack of talent,
Likely to be
Or not to be clever
On your own.
Who cares, dude?
You wanna get sued?
Your raggedy-ass rhyme
Is, to be blunt, a crime.
Whatever.
You have not sacrificed enough.
You have made the bed, ...

Confessions of A Schizophrenic
I step into this poem with a premonition -
I will let the world know who I am.
What shall I find beyond the fog of uncertainty?
What have I failed to recognize in this life?
Well, this is not a life; this is not a dream.
How porous is the wall
that divides my mind?
That divides reality from dreams.
Oh, but the dream world allows me to feel
what I thought was never real.
In this world, I feel peace and serenity
and all my characters welcome me
with open arms and a thank you
for the noble heart ...

New year, same me
New year, same me
Only difference is that I am coming into who I am meant to be
Still the same black girl
Dreaming of taking this world by a whirl
New year, same me
Just building and seeking true peace
Not letting the world break me, piece by piece
New year, same me
The year 2022 is gone, but when you add one year, you get 2023
A whole new year that is filled of curiosity and facing the unknown
Taking charge of a new beginnings and to be bestowed your rightful crown

The Basics to a Healthy Life
Let there be light. Let there be belief. Let us say that there are higher beings.
Now, this is coming from a self-declared atheist who believes that there is no god and there are no higher beings. This is coming from someone that believes that there is nothing that exists after we die.
However, I remain open to the idea of all religions. I believe that there is no afterlife but I hold the idea that I could be wrong. I fully understand that some people would categorize that as agnostic as opposed to atheist. However, this is how I see and define it; I do not know what...
