The Rehabilitation of Life
The Rehabilitation of Life
Just a social gather with no harmful intent
It is ok, it is just onetime; partying to the fullest extent
Excessive drinking and smoking; taking hit after hit
What unrestrained pleasure it brings
While secretly and subtly destroying me
I am hanging with my friends; having a good time
The wanted the one time they pull me from my element, to be tonight
How wonderful it was to experience this temporary, artificial high
I felt like an angel floating on cloud 9
And after only 1 time
Very hard day at work so...

The Only Way To Say It Is To Say It
The only way to say it is to say it
In a relationship more stretchy than elastic that’s persistently testing my ability to repel the static clinging to the dramatics that are creating havoc in my life. I find myself enveloped in the center of this madness where we spend more time opposing than attracting.
One bad moment often causes a chain reaction of emotions uncovered by the avalanche of heated passion correlated with tongue lashing and verbal bashing, which often leaves behind a bitterness that seems to be everlasting. Planning our escape we begin secretly stashing. Thus I...

This F'ing Day
This Fucking Day (the rude awakening)
I said I would stop cursing but, somehow I just can’t. I have grasped this form of unbecoming expression through harsh vocabulary that is growing as vigorously as a tidal wave, and is becoming as much a part of me as a root to a plant. This is not who am but it is who I am turning into. Note to self: going through changes does not mean you have to change it just means that to the changes occurring within you must adapt, for if you allow yourself to be changed without warrant you just might be losing you. Unsure of how or when I‘d become unhappy...

Just Love
Just Love
You never noticed because I never showed it
You never heard it because I didn’t say it
Because I didn’t say it doesn’t mean I never thought it
I often thought it but never said it and now we are back to square 1
I never said it then, but would be foolish to not say it now
I love, I need you, I want you, and I breathe you
I can say this with confidence because it is hard to breathe without you
I want you, I breathe you, I love you, and I need you
I love everything about you
The way your sweet kisses fell upon my skin
The way my legs...

Reconciliation
Reconciliation
It is hard to listen when you are talking and hard to converse when you’re being talked over; hard to hear when you’re not listening and hard to listen to what you don’t want to hear. So I am writing so you can process while you’re reading,and while you’re reading maybe you will hear the words from my heart and feel me writing away the pain in yours. I have heard you and I now understand how I could and why I do love you. I loved you the only way I knew how to because I was afraid and too unsure of what was really in store for us. So now I forfeit I throw in the...

Chocolate Covered Love
Chocolate Covered Love
Chocolate laced with honey; Honey infused with caramel; Caramel smothered in chocolate. My chocolate all over your caramel with sweet honey in between, Milk chocolate on the outside white chocolate on the inside I am loving you loving the sweet taste of me. I can’ never wait to feel you holding, kissing and tasting me. We are many different flavors all in one. Anxious to indulge in the development of the best of treats and the sharing of the sweetest love, I imagine Light golden butterscotch skin swirled around many chocolate kisses; honey roasted almonds in...

After The Rain
AFTER THE RAIN
I had been hurt before let down by the people I loved the most
They became my infection making me into the type of person I had been known to loathe
Someone that I didn’t even know
I continued to give; they continued to take
Until I become so unrecognizable that replenishing came a bit too late
I needed to recreate who I was, and redefine me beliefs
Defragment my thoughts and find a way to release the demons
That was growing inside of me by allowing the actions of other people to control me.
Consumed by my discontent, hatred became...

A Long Wait Home
A long Wait Home” the poetic love letter
Today I received your letter and you never cease to amaze me. However you did kind of pull the wool over my eyes you. You sent two pages and one was blank. I had to laugh at myself I was like dang my baby must have really been writing I have two pages. You are too funny. When I read it I was speechless and over whelmed by your gentleness and aspiration to please me. I know your “Gangsta” but, you be that with them; and stay gentle with me. There is nothing wrong with showing me the sensitive you, believe me I do not take it for granted and do...

Wanted her; Missing me
Wanted her; Missing me
FUNNY HOW NOW THAT THE TABLES ARE TURNED YOU MISS: YOU WISH: YOU WANT: YOU YEARN FOR ME BUT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU I AM ALL BURNT OUT ON EMOTIONS THE HEART I ONCE HAD FOR YOU Is NOW placed in an URN. YOU CRAZY ASSED NEGRO YOU'VE GONE FROM HERO TO ZERO IN TWO BELOW NO TIME,WHICH MEANS YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN THE NEGATIVE. I AM NOT SAYING THIS JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT OR JUST BECAUSE I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE A LITTLE UPSET, WHICH I AM NOT BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THINGS WERE AS GOOD AS THEY COULD GET WITH YOU SO I WASN’T EXPECTING TOO MUCH. YOU’VE KNOCKED THE BOTTOM OFF THE TOP;...

I Dream Awake
My eyes are closed but my mind doesn’t slumber
I am not awake yet the anesthesia of my exhaustion hasn’t taken me under
I am resting but still I am restless
Breathing but somehow I feel breathless
I am too awake to sleep, too asleep to awake
Too unconscious to know what I am praying for
But conscious enough to know to pray
My eyes are closed to the things I am seeing
This reality seems to be virtual and at the same to real for me to be dreaming
As I lie here levitating to new dimensions of this perennial dream state
The stability of my mind is permeated...
