Unravel
Undo the threads.
Undo the sheets.
Unravel the mystery, the world makes of me.
Undo this awkward
Undo this quiet
Unravel this skin, traveling the depths, to find where the real me begins.
Undo the weird
Undo the stares
Unravel the shy, until you've found the real guy.
Undo the clever.
Undo the gift.
Unravel the smarts, tell him, to make something of his art.
..... And after finding him, remind him, he's pretty cool, & has a part to play in this crazy world, but he's got to play, if he's going to...

Out Of Love
Lights on the highway show me home.
Life of a sad day I've never known.
The jig is up, I know something's wrong.
I can't go on and sing another song.
All around me people fade away.
Another April turns into May.
Another year has come and gone without you by my side.
My fantasy says you told the truth but reality says you lied.
Oh, baby, come, open your door.
Let me in out of the sun.
Take off all your clothes.
Dance in the rain.
We become one.
Kiss me on the lips as the rain falls.
Aimlessly run.
Sleep...

Taking A Stance
You held the pad lock,
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,
You may think you dictate my future,
Yet none of this is fair,
To that I am sure.
I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...

Sunny Day, Mango Mornings
Sunny Day Mango Mornings
Colors Orange, Yellow and Green
Will this make my day brighter?
Will it make me a better writer?
There's no place that can be better
When you're mind is in the clouds
Create an island oasis
Return to the basics
It's a great feeling when there's no hassles
Floating free, walk upon the shore
Give you & I things to make our lives better
My mango's are orange & yellow forever
Clarity is seen
Envisioned dreams
Escape within your own reality

Little Guy On My Shoulder
Little Guy on my shoulder
You’re good at skewing my perspective
Your insecurities transfer to me
So emotionally, I’m insane.
A sliver of glee cannot last
You always get in the way
To remind me of my forbidden lover
With you I must stay.
Never have you been physical
But in your presence I’m terrified
To hear the crude words you speak
Proves a level of toxicity.
I can’t help but ponder
“How do you speak to kin?”
“Do you call them a bitch, too?”
No, I bet you don’t even yell at them.

Kindred Spirits
a rose-Johnny & Qwerty Doolittle(powder blue); a Fia & adam(your honor), a dodge & Penny(finding a friend for the end of the world); odd ball couples that "just fit".... two kindred spirits that click- dare throw the unpopular word "love" in the mix; Rhianna's "love in a hopless place" type shi*; could that be a reality in a world like this?
I'd be one to doubt it; because as people say "what are the odds?"- well "the odds")against things going in one's favor are on the negative end; the "odds"(not the good...

Fly high
The firefly
shines bright at night,
but her head was stiff with fright.
So when at last
she turned around,
she saw the holy light.

Free me
Life is the empty white pages of a book that is waiting for me, the ink to write into it
To tell the tales of my life's never ending journies
My story does not contain any fairy tales
No glass slippers or prince charming's kisses in sight
Only shoes worn down from walking in the soles of my troubles
I want to leave my mark on this world , like a shoe print painted in the sand
Please don't let the water from the shores wash it all away
Tornado in the wind, lift me off my feet and take me away
Blood flowing down my hands from fighting with my demons...

Please don't let the water from the shores wash it all away
Tornado in the wind, lift me off my feet and take me away
Blood flowing down my hands from fighting with my demons...

Aspiring Apathy
I took the drive up
Mulberry Lane
Letting my mind drift
While I cursed your name
I saw your evil, yet
A sight to behold
Thinking thoughts that uplift
To erase your stranglehold
While the night went on
I ran for the hills
Brandished my glass
And gave you the chills
Realizing life is finite
Purpose seems hollow
Let it be an empty night
As I outrun the sorrow

in this tranquil place
Hail to Jamaica, the Island of Springs!
Peace on her meadows her radiance flings.
Beauty and gladness have made thee, dear land,
The loveliest spot in earth’s wide, watered strand.”
—Astley Clerk, Jamaican Patriot (May 1868-May 1944)
summers shall not cease,
nor springtime, while the breeze
hoola-hoops the mango leaves
and stirs the guinep trees.
every flow’r that blooms
for maidens and their grooms,
every tear of him who grieves,
nor brevity assumes,
while the green grass springs

Hair on the back of my neck
Bite for my lips to peel
Bruises mostly teal
Reactions unable to heal
Periphreal vision clear
It's not true just because I feel
Can't trust what I hear
Always sure someone's near
Lay on the bed nerves on third gear
Never too long without watching rear
Free of terror but live in sheer
Trust my gut even when it's not real
