Is Not The Wages Of Sin Death
To the fourscore winds that wreaks havoc on earth
Manmade blessed oil casted over our inner soul drops of forgiveness in the renewal of rebirth
Is not the wages of sin death
Who without wraith within thy heart, can he or she not cast stones when reaching the thrones of divinity's wealth
I have seen the teary faces when hopes, dreams, no more chances, all seems lost
So many young lives I have been a Nightingale too from wicked choices, changed in the matter of moments with treating their elements because they had the sauce...

I'll Save A Dance For You/Outside The ICU
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13
I'll Save A Dance For You
Thinking of you
These thoughts that occupy my mind
Trying to focus
Even the sunrise is darkness
When sight is faith blind
First night back
It was all I could do
To keep my emotions to myself at work
When all I can do is think of you
It feels like fire, invisible blades
Words pour from my lips like a scar
Slinging the blood of poetry therapy
Beyond console,...

Cancer, Radiation Treatment, Chemotherapy, and Hospice
I dedicate this medical journey for anyone to have to ponder the sole decision when faced with the diagnosis of cancer and what is the best course of treatment plan, regarding such a prolific journey and what methods to heed when subjugation the body to its path to reach remission, eradicate cancerous cells, to prolong life, to decrease the metastasis, or to assure the essence of quality acceptance when in the terminal stages.

on his Death
He wasn’t ready to die
Said he hadn’t fear
Yet wanted to hear
songs of Heaven
As if to calm a fearful soul
Wouldn’t take the morphine
1/2 a tab of Tylenol
was all
he’d take to ease the stabbing ravages
of the devil eating through his guts
As if he sought a penance in the pain
For 80 years of tortured life
Karma’s a bitch
Or maybe that’s the god to whom he prayed
Who let him suffer through that devil’s torment months beyond a year
What I recall now
With throat-catching pain
Is the fear of...

Too Far For Comfort (repost)
How do I say it any better
To offer some insight in an after death love letter
To commemorate and honor the memory of you
As wisdom pleads with my footsteps
To transcend these words and let them become what I do
Enough about me and my reflection
You're an unseen sight to behold
Caught on a thought as I attempt to utter your brilliance
Anything beautiful and the only thing worth mentioning in me
Is the fact that I'm just the offspring of your undying legacy
Surely you are still alive in me
As I think to reminisce on what...

Broken Mind (repost)
Do I speak too real for comfort
Or just something relative to our limited point of view
When lies feel like the truth
And I constantly remind myself of what is true
Yet I struggle to believe or just broadcast for theatrics
Just to have something to say
To prove my existence matters
In some message I convey
What if I told you
Every joy feels like a set up for sorrow
When the daylight of today is but a memory
And I've grown to resent time for the dread of tomorrow
To think of how the patterns play out

Sentimental Artifacts (repost)
My world fell apart before we trended the apocalypse
You are a week worth a life time
I am frozen in a moment
You are seconds of eternity
I'll never know a paradise like the promise of you
Tie my thoughts together to keep the mind intact
When I'm learning how I'm supposed to react
When there's no how to on losing someone close to you
Just ample opportunities to correct my line of thinking
Like fine tuning perspectives to truth
Caught between processing the way I feel
And contending for hope as love is weaponized in loss ...

When Healing Hurts (repost)
Like waking from a dream to be greeted by a nightmare
I don't know how to deal with this
When I've never known an existence without you here
And the words are a poor substitute for comfort in your absence
But it's the only way I know how to process
Tossed between relief for finality and knowing you're free from pain
In the moments when healing hurts, my heart breaks
And the tears aren't enough to express this unseen bloodstain
Orchestrations of this moment allotted upon the delay of a renewed vow
Postponed for a circumstance beyond...

A Breath Beyond The Grave (repost)
Losing the words for the serenade of my faith
When my sight finds my eyes are lying to me
Perceptions of my natural inclinations
Asking God, how is this my reality?
I watch you gasp for air
On a camera phone next to where you lay
As I lull you with my heart's desire
Wishing I was there
Shadows in my mind filtering the light of day
When my heart is under fire
Nothing is coming out quite the way I intend
When I'm choking on these words that fail
Expressions get lost in the noise
Writing letters, I wonder if...
When my sight finds my eyes are lying to me

Shadows in my mind filtering the light of day

Nothing is coming out quite the way I intend

Expressions get lost in the noise

When The Pictures Taunt (repost)
Back to the new beginning
After all that we've been through
You helped me to get where I am now
But I can't help but ask what about you?
For all you worked towards
To reap the end of all you've done
When you found a new home
When you are lover and not just a mother to a broken son
Don't let this end at merely one opportunity to meet my bride
When she in some ways reminds me of you
For the best qualities of your strength and mercy
Tenderhearted resilience and beauty
The world's got nothing on the view
Family...

Destination Awakening
Going on, ignored
Seeking to forge significance of our scars
Selling wounds for affection
Damage control
Puppetry of sorrow
Tragedy like a marionette
Emotion gets the best of me
I'll say what you'll silently relate to
While we dismiss our honesty
To put impulse in its place
And discipline our faces
Till smiles are a perfect fake
Flip the script of my confessions
When everything is recalibrated
Set the thermostat, don't just take the temperature
Realism is relative to perceptions bid
Esteemed...

The Funeral of Doubt
Everything in me aches for you
My heart is like an anvil
Thoughts of you consume me
It hurts to be so far away
Feeling like every moment is critical
Part of me is here
Yet I continue to groan inside
Anger is a fire in me
The anguish is an overwhelming undertow
I try to maintain a level head
Steady waters in a deep and distant ocean
No one can see what swells beneath
Its 2 am and I can’t sleep
I have a battle cry within
Waging war on an unseen enemy
Everything reminds me of you
Taking a calculated...
