A Better Tomorrow
What of these cards a man be dealt
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow
a twisted fate no longer felt
raging river or endless sea
he seeks alone his destiny
And facing death, eights and aces
so many familiar faces
dance aimlessly through memories
they whisper to him in the trees
Despite the road, we journey forth
a simple path without a course
wandering minds so colorful
he pushed the pen and felt the pull
Into a world of poetry
where thoughts are scribed so eagerly
amidst the backdrop of sorrow
he writes a better tomorrow

skyscraper
Skyscrapers are the ultimate symbol of human ambition,
rising above all obstacles.”—Anonymous
ambitions
drag me by the pulsing shoulder,
by rations
limited that make me bolder;
too soon i
find that failure is a raper
to ruin my
feet short of their high skyscraper.
the journey,
though an uphill climb forever,
shall earn me
all the fruit of my endeavour;
sharp bruises
shall my passions not diminish,
excuses
weary not what i must finish.
naysayers
vex my spirit with dissuasion, ...

Let’s Go!
This is the end for me
the stench of self pity is
making me sick, we used to
laugh at crying men, I get it now
It goes on, and so I go with it
life I mean, I have to live it
understanding still that I died
with you, and that me, is gone forever
So enough with the Tool and Nine
Inch Nails, I’m switching it up for
a comeback. just gonna do me
and you’ll be there along for the ride
I’m letting you go son
hold it down until I’m done,
no one said this shit is easy but
you always...

I PRAY FOR ANOTHER TOMORROW
Here I am a witness to what GOD can do for as I pray for another TOMORROW. 🙏 FOR AS I SIT HERE AND TRUST MY GOD, as I place my FAITH, 🙏 WITHIN ONLY YOU. FOR as much of what I've been going through, with cancers of different stages from prostate cancer, to kidney and bladder, and tumors of the brain, and lung cancer, you have always been, there along with MY WIFE AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS. For I STILL AM STANDING AND FIGHTING. For Tomorrow I go for my second test of my brain tumors, I place my FAITH in your hands as I continue to pray for a speedy recovery, to enjoy a prosperous...

i slept
more than
slumber

to be,
and in

moments
i dreamed
and in
those times
i had
no fears,
i was
relatively
content
with myself,
but what
will i be
tomorrow?

Kneel Unto Heaven Stand Upon Faith (The Book of Esther)
Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to You and You've got to see me through.
Harriet Tubman
Heritage to Queens and Kings to proclaim battles with written declarations of one's sovereignty with unspoken philosophical weapons
Twisted tongues in life, adaption of its feeble scorn
In the hereafter, I have glimpsed mortality to give hearts reprisal upon reborn
To the keepers of the wind, fire, air, and of the sea
The fourscore entwined, defined of mouths when...

Tired As Hell, But I Can Take It
My get up & go
Got up and went
And it's not coming back
Like an absentee father
Who went out for smokes
Leaving a single mother
To raise my inner child
My Outer Adult hurts like hell
A soul-pain that permeates my entire being
Man, I wish I wasn't so Goddamn tired
No amount of Energy Drinks can start my engine
Left idling as Time grinds the gears
And again I'm going nowhere
Forward momentum
Raging retrograde
Rocking back & forth
In the fetal position
As the World comes crashing in around you ...

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.
There’s just so much I want to share
when I convince myself that you might care…
Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my...

Chamomile
Inhale
Her eyes strengthened in determination
Heal
As muscles relaxed the tension
Dandelion roots and lavender tea
Classical music on morning walks
Ready to manifest world conquest
And chamomile aroma therapy

What It Takes
People will beat you.
Hurt and mistreat you.
But so far, you've held on.
You don't get to go very far.
Because they know who you are.
But so far, you've held on.
When you're being bruised.
Made fun of and used.
And they just leave you there.
Cause nobody cares.
Enough to pull you up and be your best friend.
So when you mess up it won't be the end.
Do you have what it takes?
Does it take what you have?
Just forgive your mistakes.
It's time to fight back.
As he strikes the final blow. ...

Bees labor not in vain
Bees labor not in vain
For their task is plain.
Listen - how they hum
Around the myoporum.
Purple buds then show forth
Declaring their handiwork.
For their task is plain.
Listen - how they hum
Around the myoporum.
Purple buds then show forth
Declaring their handiwork.
