Warrior
I wake long before light slides
into the sandboxes of my eyes.
There is always more to night
than sleeping. I lie still, listening
to the furnace breathing, something
deeply distant clearing its throat
in the driest corner of darkness.
Jets on the concourse, engines
rumbling with discord circling
the REM of sleep. Kachina glass
rattling, a stampede of buffalo
through the marrowed tunnel
of my bones, their hooves caked
with corpuscles of memory;
the smell of splintered wood
pasture...
into the sandboxes of my eyes.

Rain (June 5th, 2020)
When I woke up this morning
The sky was overcast and grey
Clouds gathered in the distance
June gloom wasn’t too far away
I decided not to go for a morning run
Instead I laid in bed awake lazily
Reading all the messages coming in
So I just reflected all day gratefully
Later when I looked in the mirror
For a second I stared and stalled
The grays in the beard are clearer
I’ll keep it with my head shaved bald
In the afternoon the wind started blowing
The smell in the air said rain was near

ego
demonic glory
faded sin
I bathed in it
happy in my ignorance
I wish I could say
I've learned something profound
but I hate this state of being
it reeks of humanity
I'm no good at being humble
in my arrogance
I knew myself
all this normality
stinks of weakness
I don't like being weak
admitting my folly
is torture for the goddess in me
to say I'm no more than a lady
if even that
possibly a scared girl
uncomfortable in her skin
it hurts to be human
with nowhere to...

Happy Pills
Shrink gives them out like candy
Uppers
Downers
Out of towners
I asked for the peanut version
Shrink asked if i was trying to be funny ?

FROM OUT OF THE ASHES
Sitting here as I stare up at the ceiling and look around at these four walls that surrounds me my mind slowly drifts to a place and time within my life when I was young wild and dangerous, but all it costed me was time as I found myself locked up in a cell behind steel and stones doing a 5-10 with time to think if only I would of just stop look and listen and told someone of the abuse.

I'm Sorry I'm Not The Me You Imagined
What a massive disappointment I must have been
when you realised I'm made of flesh and flaws
did you dream all the things I couldv'e seen
as I fight to just breathe through tooth and claw
How far did I fall, when I hit your ground
when my pedestal toppled on waffer thin faith
did your expectations make breaking sounds
and now you leave, me for another drawing, without a trace
And should I now feel pity, or a hole of shame
for the lies you told yourself about the person I am
where your wishbone grew over your vertebrae ...

did your expectations make breaking sounds

The Watcher
I can look and see
your form,
a little hazy
lit by candlelight,
a worried look
sweeping from your eyes.
You stand and
only stare,
looking straight ahead
past what lies
within yourself.
Could I be the illusion
within reality,
looking back
at myself, through
that empty mirror?
your form,
a little hazy
lit by candlelight,
a worried look
sweeping from your eyes.
You stand and
only stare,
looking straight ahead

Could I be the illusion

looking back
at myself, through
that empty mirror?

Louisiana With A French Creole Twist
Louisiana with a Haitian twist
Feeling in the mood for a little generational reminisce
New Orleans on my mind
It’s time, I relax, wine, and dine
The soothing sounds of the Jazz Clubs
A city of my embedded history I have so much love
Creole and Cajun food, the various articulated accents
A true homecoming to hear stories of old with kinfolks, always well spent
Hear me talk, Haitian Creole Yat, combined with an Eastern enunciation twine
Years trying to bury, I tell you no hidden lies
Linguistics diversified
Talking to patients,...

Questions Have Echoed
Is it alright
Not sure it ever was
Questions have echoed
But the answers
Have remained silent
I close my eyes
Hoping I will disappear
Felt this way
For as long I van remember
With what memory I have left
Through the dark years
I stretched every nerve
Tying to escape
The machinery of my mind
A faulty engine that keeps running
Not completely numb
Feelings pop like blisters
It just goes on
The scars are no longer invisible
My eyes can count them now

Of Colors
Look at any star in the sky, now look at another. Your awareness has just crossed distances it takes light thousands of years to travel. Perhaps awareness is the greatest power in the universe." Kurt Vonnegut

Famous poems about color,
I found a list of ten
And don't particularly connect
With any of them
What Neruda saw in wheat
I never saw,
Having walked through the
Stalk grass with,
Its sticky fingers
Pawing
At my shorts
Like greedy
Children,
Wheat was never the color of
