I Can Do This
It is Dangerous
To have Faith
In yourself
Without
A little Commonsense
To Understand
The abilities
You have now
Need to be
Upgraded
To the Abilities
You need to have
To have Faith
You can do
What your thinking
Or one will
Crash and burn
Into the scrub lands
Of twisted Bitterness
Of what ifs
Poor me denials
To have Faith
In yourself
Without
A little Commonsense
To Understand
The abilities
You have now
Need to be
Upgraded
To the Abilities
You need to have
To have Faith
You can do
What your thinking
Or one will
Crash and burn
Into the scrub lands
Of twisted Bitterness
Of what ifs
Poor me denials

The Lines We Cross
There is a line in the sand that states:
"This is how the world works."
And it is a fine line.
No one can touch it.
The sand is crowded,
with people as far as the eye can see.
All remaining firmly behind the line.
Some even avert their gaze,
as if even looking,
could cause great pain.
Yet sometimes,
in the quiet of night,
there is laughter in the air.
It laughs at the absurdity,
that words in the sand,
control us.
And there is a heavy mist in the air,...
"This is how the world works."
And it is a fine line.
No one can touch it.
The sand is crowded,
with people as far as the eye can see.
All remaining firmly behind the line.
Some even avert their gaze,
as if even looking,
could cause great pain.
Yet sometimes,
in the quiet of night,
there is laughter in the air.
It laughs at the absurdity,
that words in the sand,
control us.
And there is a heavy mist in the air,...

October Poems 2024 >> the countdown
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
October 07
the countdown
oneself must be abased in one’s own true eyes,
lest one should plummet swiftly from one’s blue skies.
twos days are opportune for dialoguing,
where oneself self-destructs on monologuing
treetops are ripe three-stops for those who journey
with friends, for one may need a rare attorney
to say, not left, nor right, but through the valley,
whose destination boasts a grand finale
four ever-young, the heart transformed by mercy, ...

first kiss
remember
those
experiences
that lead
to that
first kiss,
waiting,
aging, then
near
ripening,
those
moments
like sharing
awkward
fruit, better
to use
it before
they spoil.

I Had A Dream (Shapeshifter-Martin Luther King, Jr.)
From the jungle as a Black Panther King, I once roamed
To commence me back into a human form, let my voice become your ring tone
This is not what I had in mind
Over the hills over that mountaintop, I have traveled through the portal of time
Let my words be heard for every man, woman, baby boy or every baby girl
The war is not with technology but with the diabolical tongue confessions of society when wickedness unfurls
I stood on the podium to declare my humbly decree
For every nation, every color, every region in the name or...

Creature
My body overcome and mind awash with emotion i think of myth.
Creature, do not run from me but embrace the similar strangeness of me as I shall do to you, sing to me a story of heartbreak and tragedy, tell me your mind, you’re wrongness, your innermost desires and sorrows and in doing that let me know you truly

fly mama fly
daddy's little girl,
mommy's mirror image.
sissy's best friend,
everyone, everywhere's make pretend.
conceal, don't feel,
trust no one with what's real or for appeal.
is it nature or nurture,
generational or just culture?
things to do and places to be,
no one can ever, question my loyalty.
expect nothing, minimalize requests,
don't be a burden, shrink to fit.
the picture of juxtaposition;
abrasive yet gentle,
frenzied and composed,
enticing but off-putting.
weak, codependent, insignificant,...

torn between two choices
Your choices are made in a moment, and yet their
consequences transcend a lifetime.”—M. J. DeMarco
choice leads me on:
sorely am i divided.
a hopeless pawn?
a future predecided?
no parliament
convened, tho scant a hearing?
chance to repent,
ere naked flames come searing?
the evil eye
blindfolds the will of reason,
...

evolving time
tic toc the clock goes round
sometimes time pines for yesterday
when things were carefree and young
time went by slowly
with summer thoughts it would never end
fast forward I'm chasing time
I can't catch up
things are changing too quickly
it seems we are running toward something
do we know yet what that is?
within the doubt I ask
with an opportunity to hear
sincere with curiosity
made of stardust
we all shine
lovely in presentation
uniquely tested for what reason
I can only guess ...

Dinner with the devil
The devil came, to dinner one night.
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.
Dinner cold, made...
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.
Dinner cold, made...
