The Garden
This daisy says he loves me
The next he loves me not
I’m sitting in the backyard
In my garden
On a rock
I remember all the hope in me
The day I bought the seeds
I thought this would be good for me
The purpose that I need
Instead the flowers bring me pain
I hoped they’d bring me joy
They each hold now a reason
The daisy, my love for a boy
Each petal reveals a promise
What my fate will be today
So far he loves me so this time
Although it doesn’t feel that way
White orchids give me...

night sadness
Night is the blotting paper for many sorrows.”
—African Proverb
when day tasks are done
and the world is gone
and the sun bows down his head
and the doors are closed
and tight locks imposed
and the atmosphere is dead
my spirit swells within my breast
confined against my will
because the night brings more unrest
than can my fervent quill
transcribe....

I'm screaming
from inside
the pretty cage you put me in.
And I'm supposed to be grateful
for the lack of choice.
A man who cannot hear me
Cannot care for me.
Should not speak for me.
You had my words
but their meaning
ran like water
through your hands.
Now we're sifting through the sand,
knocked off our feet.
And arguing over what the definition of love
Should LOOK like.
I don't have long enough to breathe, ...

I’m Going to Miss you Buddy
Be good, always be good
From the earliest of days you were there just to play, your spirit was just so good to start with
When we chose each other and I became master, I did not know all that that would entail
When you were young, you were carefree and dumb, much the same as your master
The mistakes that we made would one day be paid, but at the time there was nothing greater
But even back then I knew as you grew, my heart would one day have its day of disaster
Still for now we were proud, young, strong and stupid, all the...

My Darling
Adelaide had woken up
And started off her day
Fred was left in bed
By him, some coffee and a plate
He took his time, waking up slow
Got up and made the bed
As Adelaide would write downstairs
Fred sipped and ate and read
He sat up and he stretched in place
And opened up the curtains
The birds they sang, the sun beat through
What’s today? He wasn’t certain
He thought today was special
Perhaps a birthday or a date
An evening planned out with his love
What does his day await?
He had no...

A SUNSET TO NEVER FORGET
Sunset takes me back to July 4, 2023
A time so painful so unforgetful
When I felt it all weigh on me
Remembering what was once beautiful
The depression that clinged in my heart
That stabbed me like a daybreak
That made me feel to tear apart
Like a vampire getting charred in the sun's wake
Torn in many pieces, what my mind misses
The torment of a heartbreak
The one thing in life no one wishes
Only a mnemonic of fiery tears unable to fake
All alone at my humble home
Rejecting outings with my family
I...

Miscalculated emotions
Being so tight and hard to ease my heart
Forcing myself through fire and get Mickey burnt
I've being isolating in the dark coz the dark is me
Scared of death like it's real coz there's nothing to see
These thoughts be wildin' without mercy underneath
Trying to resist, they just won't let the insider breath
They be actin like a trigger that ignites the fckn powder
These little minions of mine give these emotions that power
Imagination hits so hard but i ain't the thinker
Pretending to be so cold but i am the feeler
Sometimes i see...
