Forgive
Forgive, so that you may heal,
Forgive so that you may build another dream.
Forgive so that you may build another dream.

Live by the Love die by the Love
You live by the sword you die by the sword
but if I live by love then will love be my downfall?
or will I be driven into a mental state of disbelief? made to believe love is but a myth due to a cold world surrounded by actresses filed with lies and deceit.
Will deceitful kindness then be mistaken for love?
where a meaningless deed done without any form of passion or emotion will now pass for true love
the inability to rake money like leaves and bask in the Material belongings of this world has now replace a simple caring gesture of love.
but if wealth is...

Man is Lost
Man is lost,
In a fortress of forgotten lordship,
Abandon this ship,
Reluctantly ,
Not knowing if our love is pourous,
Lying listening to the Dawn's chorus,
I cry uncontrollably,
Don't want to wake up from this auric duress,
Amorous arm twisting,
Coercion,
All i was a friend,
A temporary antidote,
A fallen anti hero,
I read your mind,
With psychic invention,
Which only prolonged your defection,
Knowing...
In a fortress of forgotten lordship,
Abandon this ship,
Reluctantly ,
Not knowing if our love is pourous,
Lying listening to the Dawn's chorus,
I cry uncontrollably,
Don't want to wake up from this auric duress,
Amorous arm twisting,
Coercion,
All i was a friend,
A temporary antidote,
A fallen anti hero,
I read your mind,
With psychic invention,
Which only prolonged your defection,

That Tough Old Dog
There he stands
that tough old dog
that mean old thing
with teeth all out to bare
That rough old boy
his granite look
the ice and iron
in his stare
Body worn
ripped stitched and torn
with more scars he has than hair
But still he stands
donning a fighting stance
with a fighting chance
and mighty things to dare
that tough old dog
that mean old thing
with teeth all out to bare
That rough old boy
his granite look
the ice and iron
in his stare
Body worn
ripped stitched and torn
with more scars he has than hair
But still he stands
donning a fighting stance
with a fighting chance
and mighty things to dare

wildflowers.
It takes a lot of happiness,
sadness & suffering to write this
kind of poetry darling; you just
have to find all the little things
that are worth fighting.
The wildflower will rise
from the soil a million times
over; i’ve risen up more
times than you’d like
to think of.

Dawn rising
Last night I saw into the eyes of the moon
She dressed her chaste camouflage
I looked, though not away
I feared I would not leave her
And magnified She sailed all skies
Language of lutes awoke
I remembered hearing
A flower's anticipation
To face fearless, fertile
Soil
Bending it's stilk receiving
Nimbus glow shone through me
Transforming in signals
Preforming
A ritual of healing
Vocalising nautic stream
Reflecting encapsulated
visions
Poppies dancing winds...
She dressed her chaste camouflage
I looked, though not away
I feared I would not leave her
And magnified She sailed all skies
Language of lutes awoke
I remembered hearing
A flower's anticipation
To face fearless, fertile
Soil
Bending it's stilk receiving
Nimbus glow shone through me
Transforming in signals

A ritual of healing
Vocalising nautic stream

the colour of rust and viridescent tinges
i'd walked for miles, looking
for home.. helixes of the
forest floor held me together,
..on the edge of the map...
my feet are cool, resistant to
running
it was like aged bourbon,
storms, stars, beginnings,
fire and endings, and ocean
all poured into a glass
am a moving piece on karma’s
Chess board of the universe,
unlearning to learn how
..again..
the shadow of trust cast its
words across my breasts
in monogrammed acronyms ...

The Battle Within Me
A moment of silence
Please
For me
As life has took a turn
For the worst
But I'm still strong
Physically able to carry on
And mentally stable
To support not only I
But my mother whom
Looks up to her only son
For advice
As my father
Fights for his life
As the cancer
Threatens to take the happiness
I desperately try to hold
My relationships
Are in shambles
Yes relationships with an "s"
Why must I continue to talk
To different people of the opposite sex
Not just one
I can hold unto...

Black Girl Magic
As I sit here writing while endearing
You with my gaze
My pupils point to you and back to the page
Like an artisan painting a portrait
Of struggles unphrased
successes unpraised
Juxtapositions are flowing through your veins
I see you
Focussed on today
More focussed on the dismay
The next can bring
Hair a dancing flame
I want to run my hands through it and pick your brain
I'm staring at my saturated hands
Wondering if it will assist to withstand the
Calidity of your kinky kitchen
Long...

He's classic
He's somethin' kin to sunshine
Honeysuckle sweetness
Of cool breezes
Through the sizzle of summer times
The divine speakin' mysteries
To me through
His soul, our syncopated minds
Spirits groove and jive
Taking my breath
Oceans deep, heavens high
Caressing my spirit
With the curl of his lips
Into that tawny brown suga smile
On his best and worst of days
All I could desire
Is that he know
Home is waiting to hold him
Somethin' sacred in my eyes
Honeysuckle sweetness
Of cool breezes
Through the sizzle of summer times
The divine speakin' mysteries
To me through
His soul, our syncopated minds
Spirits groove and jive
Taking my breath
Oceans deep, heavens high
Caressing my spirit
With the curl of his lips
Into that tawny brown suga smile
On his best and worst of days
All I could desire
Is that he know
Home is waiting to hold him
Somethin' sacred in my eyes

Still I Rise (After Maya Angelou)
My queen, your whole body has been draped in diamonds
Because you are like the main prize and a jewel. Men and
Women alike are worshiping the ground you are walking
On because you are drawing attention, not for the money
You have or for fame you want or because you are a lion
At the head of the pack, but because you will always stand
On a solid footing with a permanent smile. You are talking
As if you are made from the essentials of gold and honey.
You do not need anyone telling you that you have power
Within you to stand up to the rest of...
