Me First
So I say, me first
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled,
Somebody say “me first”
I say Me First, not in spite, just divine insight…
Because we black 365 live!
In 2024 366 because we true to this!
Somebody say “me first”
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled, me first
Not in spite, just divine insight
I say Me First…
Because among us are allies,
Who can relate to betrayal and lies,
I say Me First though,
Because we all have a common enemy in this war for your spirit,
Your inheritance…
Because the charge is for all those, ...

A while For The Wise
It is wise to dive headlong into the wild, close the blind eyes and open the clear mind,
it's wise to rise from the cluttered mind, infested with recycled clichés
and mindset and outworn rites..
Rise and stretch the feet that are turned frozen inside a cold seat, a mechanical heat,
won't ever warm the cold heart, sun is your hearth, lounge in the open airs
and gather as much as you can, while time is wide and the plains get greener and flat,
decked with poppies and daffodils and daisies, and so many fragrant seedlings.,
where little...

A Noteworthy Box
Tomorrow is a special day for my girlfriend & I. We're celebrating our one year anniversary without him. You may ask who is him, well him was my girlfriends ex-boyfriend who couldn't accept the fact that her & I were madly in love.
What led up to March 21st being our one year anniversary is a tragedy for him, not us. At one point after New Years, she decided to break it off with him. There were issues that were typical for a boyfriend & girlfriend. Jealousy, poor communication and affairs. He had other girl friends and would deny he cheated on her numerous times. A few...

While watching Being Human (a show about a Vampire, a Werewolf and a Ghost)
Me: Babe, if a vampire offered you eternal life…
Wife: YES!

Wife: BYE FELICIA!

There is Transformation in Death
For some species on earth,
there is transformation in death, a renaissance
if you will, becoming young all over again, whether you
see it as reincarnation or rebirth, a new life begins. There is
transformation in death, some lifeforms can be considered
immortal, the cycle continues underneath the ocean waves,
filling the sea with vibrant and deadly limbs. But that’s the
way nature has made them out to be, a wonderful creation of
beauty and wonder, for when their time comes, ...

A Mystic Twilight At The Forest Edge
On some random rides on my bike, far into the open lands.
where man can find the man inside, where The atmosphere inspires
as you aspire the fresh air
In the deep dark valley of the dusky forest, where the wolf
finds his throat and howling poetry, where oak trees grow secured
in safe Elysium, rise shepherds echoing calls, herds at twilight
silently blissfully home coming, as if everything in nature takes its way inspired
from heaven, their flocks mingle with dark emerald green of the forest.
And as they draw near, the breath speaks...

(28) Always Connected 12.16.23 @ 5:51pm
Freshman year, decades ago.
I remember staring off in the distance.
A queen entered my sight, Andrea was her name.
A beautiful soul to remember, acquainted during French.
Lost in thought, gorgeous forever she will be.
Exchanging looks during class lectures.
Overpowered by your beauty.
Still connected many years later.
We’re only getting closer.
Everything bad has vanished, having met you.
I got love for my nena, don’t you every worry!
We’re always connected.
Smart, dedicated & adventurous.

If
If was door I would not think of not opening.
If I was a clock I would not attempt to stop the hands of time that runs its own course.
If I was a mirror I would not deny the power of reflection as one brushes their hair .
If I stood as a mountain I would never turn away an adventurer to climb to the top .
If I was a library full of books I wouldn’t let them fall into the wrong alphabetic order and line them up into the correct categories so they can be taken from shelves and read .
If I was a map I wouldn’t disguise the grid references I would hope you find your...

From ashes comes beauty
In the depths of a timeless valley, where darkness reigns and hope seems lost, I find myself entangled in a web of despair. The once vibrant light that illuminated my path has been obscured by the shadows that now surround me. Lost and alone, I wander aimlessly, with only the winter breeze as my companion.
As I struggle to find my way through this barren land, my mind is consumed by doubt and fear. Whispers of doubt and uncertainty echo in the night, haunting me with their relentless taunts. I am filled with a sense of foreboding, anxiously awaiting the inevitable moment when...

As I Get Older
Time is just the most precious thing. The older you get, I guess the more you realize this. Maybe it’s not even an age thing. Maybe it’s a maturity thing, but none of us really knows for sure exactly how much of it we’re going to be given, and so when you truly grow, you learn to prioritize it well.
You learn to value your time, and take it for the gift that it is. Not tomorrow. Not a year from now. Not when you graduate, or when you meet “the one,” or when you have enough money. Not when you finally have all your ducks in a row, or when all your dreams come true. But now.
...

From Earth With Poesy
Nature, Earth and poetry
Glory to the tree, splendor of the mountain....
Energy of the wind and of the sea
Solid is the rock on the mountain's top
Fluent, the waters when they stream like poetry....
carrying all the human cares, sins and pains ashore...
Nature is worth the words shed on her land
full of warmth that breaths humanity and spirituality
Patience rhymes with obedience, with kindness....
Lore comes to you when you go outdoors, feel the flora,
probe the distant expansion of earth, not inside a mundane agora,
when they...
