Defiant
I stand in the middle of the cul-de-sac; barefoot on the pavement, arms reaching for the multi-hued grey sky, face turned upward with closed eyes and open mouth - silently screaming in defiance at the storm raging above my head. Large, cold raindrops pummel down upon the asphalt; so much accumulated liquid that minuscule waves are running in sheets around my feet as the water runs down the street, and cold enough against the hot blacktop to cause wisps of mist to rise in slow swirling eddies around my ankles. Bolts of lightning crisscross over my head; great arcs of searing, silvery-white...

No Go
Back on a plane from Spain 🇪🇦
From sunshine, pull into the rain ☔
Living tha UK dream, Buenos Dias
Do tha walk of shame...🚶🏽
Letting tha beer flow, benefit street on tha jam&roll 💸
I gotta get that dough, set up shop, and start that grow 🪴
I kept my nose clean for long enough🫧
Stay off tha street where it gets rough 👊🏽
But them boys called my bluff 🤫
Start fights, blue lights, n get me cuffed 🚨
I stayed in and I wrote my stories📚

am not that nemore...
all you
muther fuckers
holding mirrors
they stare at me
each reflecting
the worst sides
of me
but
am not that
not anymore
and you can't
dig deep into
a reflection to
see the changes
that I've made
and the person
I became
muther fuckers
holding mirrors
they stare at me
each reflecting
the worst sides
of me
but
am not that
not anymore
and you can't
dig deep into
a reflection to
see the changes
that I've made
and the person
I became

the winds of change
The God of love is greater
than the love of God:
Superior the Creator
to the love He gives.
The sin of man is viler
than the man of sin:
God's love saves the beguiler
from the guile he lives.
The winds of change more luring
than the change of winds:
For change is more enduring
than is constancy.
The death of life is steeper
than the life of death:
Closer draws life's grim reaper
with each breath i spree.

HAVE YOU EVER TOLD HER
Baby there is something I need to get off my chest, for I think that it's been way over due that I tell you that I appreciate you in so many ways. For you have been there since you and I got together as one. For there haven't been a day that goes by, that when I look at you with the same kind of understanding and respect and honor. That it makes me feel so good to know that I have you in my life and I in your life, for that is what you mean to me as my better half of me as we encourage each other to our true potential. For I remember that day as if it was only just yesterday,when we exchange...

"Ant's Marching"
Feels like
I'm falling
off a cliff
into
quicksand
up to my head
with
a thousand
red army ants
marching straight
for me.

The Stage
I am nobody
I am nothing
The wind and the rain
Your punching bag
Your pain carrier
Something you disdain
I know you love me
I know you do
You say it again and again
Telling me of these burdens you carry
And all the things you do
Well that guilt is mine
It's a pretty little prize
But it's a curse to never be new
So I live my life of anger and rage
On a stage...
I am nothing
The wind and the rain
Your punching bag
Your pain carrier
Something you disdain
I know you love me
I know you do
You say it again and again
Telling me of these burdens you carry
And all the things you do
Well that guilt is mine
It's a pretty little prize
But it's a curse to never be new
So I live my life of anger and rage
On a stage...

Connection
Did you find what you were looking for
when you broke down my protection?
Was betrayal worth the cost
to squander my affection?
Trust broken, when you failed me
but planted was the seed
You carved into my soul
to simply watch me bleed
Reckless disregard for life
ominous manipulation
Preparing for my demise
aware of your temptation
My superficial, fickle friend
you thought you’d won the war
But connection the stronger player
and I was keeping score
when you broke down my protection?
Was betrayal worth the cost
to squander my affection?
Trust broken, when you failed me
but planted was the seed
You carved into my soul
to simply watch me bleed
Reckless disregard for life
ominous manipulation
Preparing for my demise
aware of your temptation
My superficial, fickle friend
you thought you’d won the war
But connection the stronger player
and I was keeping score

Poem 1: January '23 (The Beginning)
Reflections of the Mind:
A full-bodied moon
Backed by a space blue sky
Giant trees' silhouettes
Listen for the wind's subtle cry
Blocked
In the physical and mental senses
Pencil in hand
Pensive demands, too tense
A swell of dysfunction
Collapsing into waves of routine
Wipe away the dust
Expose what lies beneath
A full-bodied moon
Backed by a space blue sky
Giant trees' silhouettes
Listen for the wind's subtle cry
Blocked
In the physical and mental senses
Pencil in hand
Pensive demands, too tense
A swell of dysfunction
Collapsing into waves of routine
Wipe away the dust
Expose what lies beneath

JANUS
I’ve been thinking a lot
It’s a new year
I wish I was Janus
He could look to the past and the future
Maybe he had a Time Machine
A Time Machine;
With one captain seat,
One dial for years,
One dial for days,
levers, tools, black metals
Iron and brass
The epitomized time traveler
The typical example of transitions
Lost dreamy ivory sepals
Paid for by the deep downs
of my pocket, dreamily drifting,
Hold up coffer’s flowers
Dancing in my hand
Stuck to my mind and
My heart
I once...

Humiliation
Standing bare naked in the public domain,
Urges people to humiliate her with disgrace,
Ready to follow the command of every wish,
Onlookers quietly laughed at her brazenness,
She got dressed up to join people after the show,
No one in the crowd wanted to look at her straight,
Look down upon themselves with guilt and shame,
people even avoided having eye contact with her,
A scenario of a promiscuous and savaged reality,
Our basic instinct is paramount to ravage society.
