POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Zombies
Cut off from your humanity
Ravenous insanity
You was my brother
My lover
Called you my best friend
Now I awaken to this world’s end
All I see is mischief
Evil uncontrollable
Rage demanding justice
I cut this
Flesh of mine to feel something
A dark sky looms
What am I to do…with this
But to let my light shine from within
Light up darkness
Be the legend of the divinity in me
I see
Because this madness tries to overtake me
It’s imperative to acknowledge this
Survival
Not of the fittest
But of the wittiest,...

I Miss You
I miss you
Simply
I know life is hard
Berating you, degrading you
Bills due
Bosses, employees with nasty attitudes
But I miss you
Your smell, your touch
Embrace
Our free play
On the couch at my house
We drink, laugh, and be merry
Dreams of riding off in our fairy tale carriage
I miss you
Like a part of me
My energy
I am not lost without you
I am still completely me
But it hurts to know that you can’t see me
You’re far away
Spiritually
Mentally
My heart longs for our intimacy
My soul mate
Yet it’s...

From the Durango
From the Durango
The infamous Durango
Champagne
American made
I’m not ashamed
Of the love we make
In the Durango-
Welcomed in- hop in the shower
We got to go
I need some dishwashing liquid
Dawn I like
That’s shit high
On Christmas Eve
At Walgreens
Hurry up we gotta park
After dark
Under this tree
Under these stars
Over head
As you give me
The most amazing
Head
Over heels I am
In love with you
Real and true
Is our tune
He say, when the sun dies
And stars fades from view
Our love...

Eazy
Eazy
Like Sunday morning
Yawning
With ease
I stretch and breathe in
A love so eazy
I pull them down
Spread wide
My lips
Honey drips
My passion
Narrow hips
To grab ahold
Take ahold
Make love to me
Eazy
Like all it took was a dinner and a movie
Fuck me easily
Because I make it eazy to love me
More than what I do, cook, clean
I can cook too lol
You eat right
Sleep right
Eazy
Be eazy ‘cause I’m just me effortlessly
No drama, no bullshit
Just free
But don’t take it lightly
How I cater to...

Good Morning Kisses
Good morning kisses
Good morning hugs
He say, he brought the sunshine for me
His mommy
Oh how blessed I am
For my child, man
My legacy and dream
Made reality
Every good thing
He embodied within me
Nine long months carefully made
Eyes, fingers, nose, brows and toes
His movements, methodic
And in tune, creating more room
The melody of my heart
He sings within me
Beat my heart son
Run my ribs son
Move my womb son
Rhythmically
Teach me your song
Only angels have heard
Won’t allow your...

I'm Alive
I’m alive
I breathe, eat, and piss
Defecate all the negative
I’m alive
I déjà vu
I’ve been here before
Said that before
Seen this before
In a former life?
I’m on the right track I conclude
I listen to music
According to my mood
That stimulates my intellect
Old skool
That makes my soul smile
He said, my future is someone else’s past
I don’t shun my ancestors tugging
To live, to learn, to give
Learn of me
He beckons me
My ways are not yours
Understanding above yours
Live for me
I’ve already died...

Superwoman
Superwoman
Not Lois Lane
I excel in my lane
Jackhammerin’
If you try to block my fame
It’s impossible
Cause I shine like diamond mines
Raw
Real
Not from the hood
But I can relate
Thorough bred, boroughs
I understand the struggles of the ghetto
But I play my part
Work by day
Grind by night
It don’t stop
But I can’t stop
Not restless
Just progressive
To the expected end
Where I can lay up under aged trees
Ya’ll remember that?
I’m at peace
As I annihilate these
Perceptions and misconceptions...

The Art of Smoking
I smoke
I choke
Cough and laugh again
Light one again
And inhale
There’s an art to this mastery
No fiend for the nicotine
It’s just the releasing
Carbon dioxide
Suicide
Some say but I remember
How our native ancestors
Breathed in
The Great Spirit
From the wind
Embraced the wind
And spoke on her behalf
But today, right now
All these additives
Makings of addictives
Nevertheless, I smoke
I choke
Cough and laugh again
Light one again
And exhale
Sex appeal, the ideal
I’m strong, I’m popular...

Dance
DANCE,
DANCE,
DANCE!
I love to dance
To the rhythm of my ancestors beat-intrigued
Engaged
Take me away
With that safari, jungle, Great Plains beat/drums
I call forth the motherland
Inside of me
Caribbean blood
West African genealogy, this step
You can’t teach me
I cut a rug
It’s in me
One, two, three
See me
Sweep thee
Unto your feet
No matter race, color, or creed
Move those feet with me
I am Africa, I am Jamaica
I am Haiti, I am Ghana, Congo
Johannesburg, the struggle that was Soweto
Dance,...

Smile
I smile regardless
Drums of convictions
I stand trial
Judgments
Subpoenas
No witnesses
But my lineage
My record
Track
100, 200, relay races
But it’s just me so
I smile regardless
Not because these fiery darts
Don’t penetrate the armor
But it’s just that, the whole armor
Against enemies
That seek to devour me
Lurkin’, reachin’
For weakness
The same love that is my strength
The same determination that is my stronghold
The same endurance that is my fortress
I don’t run from the storm, I am the storm

Real & True
Real and True
You rock me
On this foundation, you test me
Concreted and cemented
I’ve proved that I am in this
Wholeheartedly
All of me
I just want all of you
Real and true
No retaliations
No games
I’ve given you liberty to fly away
And come back to me
As a caged bird
That’s not your destiny with me
See
I want to see you be the best that you can be
I support you
Adore you
Even in your discrepancies
To fall, to fail
To whine, complain
Of these natural human emotions
I want to be your supernatural...

The Key
Like Rafiki in his prime
I go there
You don’t understand
The writings on the wall
Translated
Your eyes dilated
Scorched with truth
Cornea reshaped
Rods geometrically
Pupils enlightened
Let me see the light of your eyes
I got something to show you
Simba
I call you by name, a new name
Angels can’t sang
I am Him
That called you out of the darkness of your mind
Light up the darkness
With the truth of my love
I have called thee
See, while your ancestors obeyed and stumbled
I won’t cause your foot to slip...
