Devastatingly beautiful effects of love's dark endurance...
My answers come in hushed oblivion
tenderness teases away
those small traces of terror
lips part lips
warm bodies press
into permanent evanescence
Admiring such rich landscapes
imprinting these single moments
to cosmic memory
I harvest the meaning of your
unlimited bounty
Fantasty swirls consecrated air
realities explode
into scattered mosaics
broken by spacial distance,
where conceptual time cradles
then seals
everything lovingly reaped
as a forever...

Absolutely guilty of any felony and distinctly so simply by being Black!
By Stanley Collymore
No doubt there are those who
both uncaringly of the true
circumstances as well as
most disingenuously will similarly
state that justice has prevailed in
the end! Really? When truly from
the discernible start the accused
crucially and distinctly so openly,
rather vigorously, repeatedly his
declared innocence, regarding a
committed murder that likewise
his female partner quite openly,
conscientiously, and essentially
rather convincingly fully related ...

Putting You Away
The last tide of the day is going out
I guess it's a good time for our goodbye
even though you left hours ago
I waited, to watch the ocean follow you.
I knew, you had that kind of power
even if you didn't
Because you were looking away.
I walk the bartering line
where the waves recede from the sand
as several grains go with it
Thousands really, but who notices
from the millions left behind
Like my thoughts of you, like the love
that follows you
Maybe it will keep you safe.
I could never wish anything
but the...

Why are traumas so hard to expel?
Its very easy to be consumed with an unforgiving energy, it is like a rare fruit, one that you know you're allergic to but instead you keep thinking how sweet it is going down into your stomach. But, whenever it's there it stays there, you start gaining weight that won't move until it's all cried out. Fighting hurt with hurt never amounts to anything substantial because 50% of nothing is still nothing.
I've been carrying around this hurt from the first year of this marriage and I keep searching for a reason to believe or trust his “I love you”. 2019 was the worst year in all my 31...

My Papa has been low key bullying me.

Freddie Stress!
Wait!
Wait 1 hickin,pickin,kickin moment.
What's that smell?
swiveling, swelling,on your chest.
"Chanel no.5"/"Poison-Christian Dior"---
Oh no. That's my perfume I'm smelling.
Maybe I can smell---" Aventus Creed"---Or,"Versace" I can't tell.
Anyway,confess.
You've been messing with Freddie,in our bed.
Careless,dense atmosphere,
Proximity 2 the sun.
I'm so hot,not with jealousy,
But with anger instead. ...

Life During Candles
Our life during the life of a candle;
I never meant for it
to be as a time keeper.
A subtle way of telling us
it's time to go, once it burns low.
Our heroics, as lovers, over
as I melt inside you.
And as the flame pushes itself down,
discarding the wax aside
into the sudden past.
Becoming another hardened memory,
as we soften our stances
of what we are
after these 'what we just were'.
The candles are always intended
the way I've used them.
Each, just as much a doorway
as it was a key.
To the real...

Shooting Star Fades
Behest...A Queen awaits...The Bella of the Ball !!! Breath taking, her beauty holds a permanent stare. Foes of fans, green eye glares as jealousy volcanically erupts. She slowly goes inside herself, like a turtle retracting in his shell. So the start of the race begins. Perilous path of self-destruction tearing at her seams. Family or friends dead or far & few between. Cries of an ice storm, Chill winds of high emotions...A maelstrom, a whirlpool of spinning self-abuse. The voyagers of shallow, selfish attire look no farer from the adjunct mask she precisely paints & prepares to wear....

Line in the Sand
A pristine beach in morning light
beautifully promising
I walked in trusting, barefoot
but I was foolish
To think it'd be spared of
footprints from the overeager
litter from the foolish
broken glass from my own hubris
I can't trust anything now
my own eyes
my own mind
my own heart
my own intentions
Or can I?
But should I?
How long can I choose to hope
how many glass shards
lodged into trusting toes? ...

Part 2. Bens Story.
Surprised he was.
Scared 2 see.
The she,
He longed,
For many decades,
2 see.
When Ben finally,after much phone communication, made contact with she,over 30 years after she had given him up for adoption.
She was extremely excited,like a little child being taken for a birthday party meal,at "McDonalds." Her excitement, 2 Ben,felt unreal.
But,becoming apparent days afterwards.
Ben found out that she wasn't elated at meeting her undiscovered son,and more about what...

predator
sunk low in the unbearable abyss
avoiding the unknown,
what lies ahead in the mist,
waiting in the dark for someone carrying gifts
the time is neverending
holding fake smiles,
within the blending
wearing certain materials
keeping up his appearances to be perceived as threatening
written out scripts to perform
flaunting their perfume already worn
dreamy eyes to compel,
hiding the scars that had been torn
oblivious to believe this was how he was born,
shunning away of his truest form
...
