wispy things
It's quite strange
that such potent beauty
rings from strings
that sweet murmurs
spark such fervor
that if you are truly still
nature speaks
you are you
and I me - no one else
but we're lost
we're so small
yet we're grand
isn't it strange
that such potent beauty
rings from strings
that such potent beauty
rings from strings
that sweet murmurs
spark such fervor
that if you are truly still
nature speaks
you are you
and I me - no one else
but we're lost
we're so small
yet we're grand
isn't it strange
that such potent beauty
rings from strings

not really a poem about moving on
breaking the surface
a break in the surface
what difference
does it make really?
it's a gone cause
naming it a tragedy is
nothing
but an exercise
in moving on
even before
the funeral procession
has gathered
fucking obscurity
i used to love it
not anymore
one step
in front
of the other
.

What I Long For
I long for the day when
it is common place
not to discount the contributions
of “other than white”
The day when history is inclusive
stories of merit and valor
not reduced to one sentence
fully explain a people’s plight
A day when we hear about
those sport leagues created
when in others we couldn’t play
the contests given their due
The Negro League but one
example of many
athleticism of splendid quality
the stories will not be new
To the children who don’t
know of Jim...

V for Victoria
Some people are mysteries others can be read as chapters of a book
Victoria was one of those people whom you could turn to
and feel you were reading a novelty novel. A blank page ready to be read basking in an effervescent glimmer.
She reminded me of how sun can turn into silver tide. She reminded me of wind
Never knowing when it will begin to blow. She was sold as slave for the price of a calf. Brought up in slavery. Modern slavery .It is a trade to many in which desperate people loose all hopes and are left abandoned and marked for life. A place they call the...

SOS
Extracts from a world
Sos help line is a service worldwide where individuals who need a talk can call anonymous regardless the topic. As a volunteer you do a minimum of four shifts a month, one shift is four hours, one is a nightshift which is 8 hours
My first nightshift
The phone has not rang yet
I was thrilled to do this
eventually my exciting night turns into an early night. I sleep a few hours then the phone rings. I have not finished yet the sentence, hello, this is......my name......of SOS...

A Line
There is no Line drawn between
good or bad right or wrong
there is no Line drawn between
evil or righteousness
happiness or sadness
the only answer to any question
concerning what anything
amounts too...is always how
you perceive what you see
what you believe it to be
how you want to see things
so to speak and it is true
humans are naturally weak
humans can be misguided
humans can be deceived very
easily by almost any kind of trick
maybe a Line might come in handy
good or bad right or wrong
there is no Line drawn between
evil or righteousness
happiness or sadness
the only answer to any question
concerning what anything
amounts too...is always how
you perceive what you see
what you believe it to be
how you want to see things
so to speak and it is true
humans are naturally weak
humans can be misguided
humans can be deceived very
easily by almost any kind of trick
maybe a Line might come in handy

On The Matters of The World ...

And What They Will Choose ...
To Believe As Being TRUE ...
So Poetically My Expertise ...
Has Many Themes ...
And MANY Seams ... !!!!
And A CLEAR BELIEF ...
In Freedom of Speech ... !!!
But That DOESN'T Mean ...
That I Know EVERYTHING ... !!! ...

the trouble with the world....
we live in a world where there's a domino or snowball effect; things that are said and done are more or less toxic;
it's easy to misjudge/misread someone's intent; especially through words rather than visual action;
even still; people including self have their reasons; things that make them tic, resist, or incredibly frustrated; whether or not there's truly a misunderstanding....
questioning another face to face just as much as to their physical absence....
when someone's hurt or feels damaged they vent;...
