Iku-Turso
My sleep was awoken by the noise of a Lion, a Cricket and a Raccoon . It was weird. I looked outside and there was a red brick road that led to my garage. I walked into the garage and their were the three having tea with cookies. They all stopped whispering and looked at me in disgust. They asked me to please leave and follow the blue brick road for wisdom and the truth. I asked if I could have one cookie. The cricket stood up and said, "if you don't leave were going to chew on your body."
I left. I decided to follow the blue brick road. As I did, I noticed the...

The Watchful Soul
Dear reader, let me tell you now of a soul who watched, yet wore no vow. A lover’s call, a secret scheme, crafted in the shadows, part of a dream.
She had fun, leaving clues behind, Little whispers, a careful mind. No one saw, no one knew, the puzzle built for a chosen few.
Always observing, sharp and keen, a glimpse of words, a hidden scene. “Am I a genius, or just insane?” The question lingered, but none could claim.
From a young age, she began to learn, psychology patterns, the twists and turns. At eighteen, Cossette picked up books,...

Pastor say
Pastor say, for engaged couples your new priorities in life are God, Wife, Kids for the husband.
God, husband, kids for the wife.
That husband and wife are part of each other as they vow to be teammates for life.
At that price, what’s heat to ice,
I mean, if I strike, some one must surely pay the price,
I am every bit of the man I was challenged to be, it is, I just don’t play about that part of me, it’s something about her I just do not think twice. Again I asked you, what’s heat to ice.
I am cautious when she’s not, she’s...

Charlestown
Ask them Charlestown boys how the fuck we get down
Bricks equaling kilos, whatever the haul, we convert to dollars or pounds
We never step until we step Charlestown has that kind of rep
Low key we infiltrate, fucking survey, and always quiet is kept
Everyone's in on the know so there's no mask needed among us
Shit scripted from the mental not the lips, no chance of a bust
We're all hungry for it, this is a long overdue meal
There are security measures in place bitch for anyone that squeals
But we talk about nothing because between us there...

The Violence Continues
She had enough. Many times her father would could home staggering drunk, and force himself onto her. He didn't care. He had no regret when he would sober up. Her mother knew that if she ever said a word she'd be beaten & thrown out into the streets. She cared about her own hide and not her own flesh & blood. She came into this marriage with nothing and will leave the marriage with nothing.
Her daughter is now dependent on drugs. Any drugs to release her from this horror. Pills, heroin, meth, alcohol, anything to get her fucked up and to drown these memories.

She is, black history
She is my gift from the heavens, my antidote from being cursed, she is my smile that stop the tears, she is the perfect lines I’ve rehearsed, she is the black, to the power, she is the second, the minute, the hour. She is the one my creator assigned, she is the sight after the blind. She is my wife, she is, black history.
They are our six children, they are the daughters and son, of a king and queen, they are not our past, they are not our mistakes, they are not our slaves, they are not our mess ups, they are not our memories, they are not our failures, they are not our bad...

Blind anger
Blind Anger..
I don’t like you for no reason, I know I’m dead wrong, I’m mad with myself so I need someone like you to take it out on,
See you the type person that’s been hurt before too, like you the type person go to work and come back home, that get hurt before two,
Two, p.m that is, like you ain’t been through enough, like you got a million tucked, like your daily life battles do not get rough,
Like I’m right for this, you wrong for that, looking for what you did to me, I just still can’t name that yet,
I know you did something,...

Chess
Cheaters are weak,rubber band built minded individuals, with no morals to stand on, that could not get the story straight, if it came in a pack that said Brazilian hair with a hot comb,
I need me a white girl, that got money and give becky, that mess is not love based, I do not respect it, if you do not like it homie check me,
Cobra you need to stop, nah he was acting hard in then got froze up, you a family man now, I just loved how that switched up,

The Child's Father
The overwhelming power of the senses,
Strangling in a way that’s sweet,
The unseen father watching behind the scenes,
Enjoying his child playing with its toys still.
A dog in child’s clothing,
Clingy and needy of its master’s attentions,
With a cat’s eyes of mercy,
The father got caught in the web.
The child is the father,
The father is the child,
Usurping thrones like yin and yang,
But the father in the child was stronger.
After of eons of wrestling,
The child tricked the father,
To see the opposite...

A Romantic Tale
Decades ago a man was in love with a woman
he would do crazy acts to seek her attention
he was a daredevil
he's faced death numerous times
he's played chicken with trains,
jumped off bridges and survived the plunge,
climbed skyscrapers,
and even imitated some of Houdini's work
nevertheless he was crazy, but good at what he did
one day he told his girlfriend that he was going to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel
she told him you're insane
if you do this you could die and we'll never have a life together
his mind was made up and told...

Death will never tear us apart
They were together a long time
He was retired
She was a homemaker all her life
Most of their family has moved away or died
Two hermits that knew nothing more then each other
They loved tv and game shows
They never left the house
They received their food and clothing through the internet
Occasionally a technician or handyman would come over to fix some household issue
They were happy
They knew no other way
One day the husband fell ill
She knew if she took him to the hospital, he'd die
At one point, he wanted to go, but she...
