R.I.P Anthony Rose (10.13.1989 - 07.21.2019)
It been a minute since I last wrote any poetry…
But something happened that was way too close to me..
I wrote poetry for fallen friends, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to do it again for some time..
Well here we are, but I got a lot of things on my mind…
Another brother has made his way to heaven way too soon..
I was at work reading Facebook it was about a quarter to noon..
And there it was staring me in the face R.I.P Anthony Rose..
I did not want to believe it, so I reached out to someone who knows..
She...

Brother O' Brother
Oh, how my weary arms
Ache for my brother’s embrace
A year has passed
Since I have seen his face
Golden haired boy
A man tried and true
Sensitive, kind and a joy
Without him I am blue
For I, the eldest
Was charged with his care
Our perils were endless
And he so innocent and fair
Forgive me my many trespasses
As my heart has been true
So many setbacks
I miss you
Ache for my brother’s embrace
A year has passed
Since I have seen his face
Golden haired boy
A man tried and true
Sensitive, kind and a joy
Without him I am blue
For I, the eldest
Was charged with his care
Our perils were endless
And he so innocent and fair
Forgive me my many trespasses
As my heart has been true
So many setbacks
I miss you

Brother it sometimes
seems you’re just slaloming
around all the red flags

Dear brother,
When you equivocated,
Ending with “she doesn’t hit her,”
As if that were a victory,
I did not know what to say.
Your admission that
She “is mean” to her is shocking
In light of the credibility
And power you have extended.
What has she done for your daughter
To build trust?
What distinguishes her
From a stranger
In Maya’s eyes?
Love, Kumar

masterpiece • with theEgoEffect
I paid a price,
unsolicited and exorbitant,
to witness the true beauty of life;
visions I hoped would have remained dormant,
and a toll paid by all, paid first and foremost
by fissioned spirits,
a hard lesson learned-
in ugliness exists beauty,
and behind the success is the meek
getting weaker, week by week, truths
heard in their silence; and then...
the sirens — deaf on one ear
for always turning a cheek,
with radiance hidden in the bleak;
undone verbs now resonate,
lingering in lost frequencies; ...

faith in common
we, bend knee to the same force,
the same inutterable flame,
the same wilderness cut
in the facets of the same hundred names.
i know you but for the carving
of your current gleaming frame.
you of ash and i of vine,
but brother, in us and our shared paramour,
the two are oft entwined--
to what difference now, than ever before?
what trenches thus, what wretched troughs
have you there suffered, and i not suffered of?
"i, i, i. i alone," you say, "and They, my only guide..."
with stinging grin, in bitter...

Mosquito
Marked! The morning
is for inspections
of what was taken.
I detect my blood pieces
adrift at sky within
capsules, the apertures
the size of a pore;
tiny purposeful ones, how many
time capsules
have been forgotten?
How many are living?
Like you.
I am deciding
my muscles to dig
up the pearl-skinned
plastic horse
in action- a forelock
perpetually aloft
laying next
to the brother's belly-up
skateboard. The burial
was not marked
as we were captainsure ...

Happy birthday
Rage engulfs my empathy,
Glimpses of my narcissistic self.
Memories of a faded past stained with regret , echoes of laughter torment my mind.
You were meant to enrich my soul with joy, just to be the cause of an incessant void.
Here’s tribute to our memories embossed on who I became, condemnation on the unfulfilled.
Ruminative..
Parturition into existence
Bathed in ichor, lungs filled.
Expiry by choice, more than one soul.
Enervated by your love.
Glimpses of my narcissistic self.
Memories of a faded past stained with regret , echoes of laughter torment my mind.
You were meant to enrich my soul with joy, just to be the cause of an incessant void.
Here’s tribute to our memories embossed on who I became, condemnation on the unfulfilled.
Ruminative..
Parturition into existence
Bathed in ichor, lungs filled.
Expiry by choice, more than one soul.
Enervated by your love.

Acknowledgement
Acknowledging a person takes nothing away from me
Or my own accomplishments
No need for a speech
or lengthy conversation
A simple wave or head nod will do
This brief statement of "I see you" is common the world over
It is a simple thing
And it is mighty
It is my personal acknowledgement,
and acceptance,
of God's decision to allow each person I meet to continue drawing breath upon this earth
My acceptance of another human's presence is proof that I realize I am not the...

Big Brother
Big brother are you resting in peace?
I hate when someone says your death was meant to be.
Fuck peace I want you here with me.
Fuck the mourners that cried , posted and moved on.
No relief for me, I see no peace....I need my big brother here with me.
Fuck y’all telling me to let the tears go, I still don’t understand how y’all can let my brothers suspicious death go.
Leave me alone and let me be.
Please understand I’m not mourning I’m empty without my brother beside me.
No speech no eulogy nothing will ever comfort me.
Not until I’m next to my...

Unblooded
("And if you could see what I'm thinkin' of
then you would understand our love. . .")
Far beyond human comprehension
and clearer than human color
the unseen bonds that make us fluid
make us one, my human Brother!
Noise pollution ---- diction abrasive, but clear,
magnetizing our hearts, so near!
And still. . .
We emit the tender moments
the times of reaching out
and touching a hurting soul.
When all cannot see ----
How then, do WE know?
Goals all different, some intertwined
