Poet Introduction
I write because I'm Happy... I write because I'm Sad... With pen in hand, I write gladly Therefore, I write because I can...
I Swear...
b]The Truth, of the matter is...
I'm scared!
Although, I'm not afraid...I know fear
It's right here...Vulnerable & frightened
I swear!
Affirm, and declare...Under oath
With unusual excitement
Strengthened!
By the tenets, of my Lord's Prayer, I dare...To strive for enlightenment
...Out in the open...
Struggling, but coping, with trepidation's lies
Trying to surmise, what's quote, unquote "fair"
Hoping, it's sufficient...Hoping, God will still care
Comfort my despair
And grant me the courage, to bear, whatever burdens
To...

It Didn't Last Long
It didn't last long...
...IT!
Was about the length, of my favorite song
If...It was musical
It played along...Starting off, like...
"Simply Beautiful", had just come on
And you & me, inhaling trees
Intently listening, to the great, Al Green
Sing hypothetically, "If I gave you my love...I'd tell you what I'd do..."
As I write...I shake my head, while giggling too
Thinking about what was said, and believing it was true
That, love...is...conditional
And ours ended too soon
In an instant...I witnessed it move

Involuntarily Vetting Self
Being Real
Protected...By a glass force field
Reflecting, the same...Old different perspectives
***VAIN***
Showing spider-web cracked veins
Yet...Intact, for the simple fact, that...
I'm shatter-proof still
I'm NOT...here...2 kill
If anything, eYe hear, to heal the wounded
Just to see the music before I leave
To smell the fusion, the very idea of the scent of a union
Sweet enough to eat...Imbibe, and drink
The liquid essence of love
From way on high and up above
That special place where we...find...us
I hope...For ALL...That lie...

I Lay Awake At Night
..Mirrored...
Hands come together...In clapped prayer
Eyes close slowly, to witness, spotted after images
As we prepare
To take a visit...Somewhere, that's existing
...WHERE?
They're always listening
Aware, of what we're presenting
What are our, real intentions...What we're really getting...What we need & what needs more attention
It's ALL there! Every single last detail
Nothing's missing...We can't fail!
As long as we believe in, the beginning...Being never-ending
And some people's Hell, is where they choose to dwell, imprisoned
While...

Just Another Silly Love Poem
Okay...Let's get this outta the way
Without rushing
Let's just say..."You take my breath away"
Yet, give me oxygen
Pulling & tugging, at the strings of my heart
Like ox with cart, while I, plow your earth
Blessed to attest & acknowledge
My deeply held fondness, for your fertile soil
But see, that sounds to me, like...
Just another silly love poem
And I don't know if that's really worth doing
Repeating, what might seem like a carbon copy of
What somebody, has undoubtedly said, at some point before
When I wish...That I could...

The Ravings of a Petulant Consumer
Released!
Unleashed, from the tides that bind
Left free, to find...Some kind of Peace
While my ink intercedes, on behalf of my mind
I write.
Like, time ain't really on my side
Like, these End of Days...Is just the same
As my endless nights
When I lay awake, and recite to the quiet
About how, sleepless, the silence can be
If I could only hear something, that could help me rest comfortably
I most certainly, would listen to it
But, until then...
I'll continue to script, careful,...

Leaving The Face
Fall off...
...The Face...
...Of the World
Placed...Somewhere, in space
Above the norm
Just looking around...Looking at how
It's all been done!
We want....We get, what we've been looking 4
We have God!
The Father, Son...Holy Ghost & Love
But forreal Lord...We got, just enough to want more
Adopt, to feel y'all and try to touch, with more than hands
When what expands then, implodes
Explodes all over
When we all
Fall off...
...The Face...
...Of the World
Bored, and, irresponsible
Hordes, of us falling
In Love...

The Audacity of Hate: A True Story
Like, so on & so forth
Of course
Hate has, and will always, go on
In the wake of, Love's tragic mistake
He, feeling all alone, inexplicably needing to create
Thinking...
Seeing himself, believing...
"God! I AM boring"
Exploring possibilities, then, seeking a mate
And as fate would have it
Lo and behold, the introduction of Hate
Just now awake, and already feeling entitled
But going about it the wrong way
Undeserving, though, made to feel wanted
Hate never appreciated being born from Grace
See, Hate, went...

Confessions of an Opened Book
Approached, by unbeknownst & hesitation
Pulled from my shelf, dusted off, and made available
Laid...On a table, and curiously opened up
In essence, dead...Until someone looks
Brings me back to life
Reads me like a book...About minds
Delves deep into mine
And find, that they'll lose themselves
Peruse in stealth
Secretly feel, what I've already felt...What I lay on the line
Within the confines, of my yellowed pages
Please, by all means, be my guests
Be over zealous...While you analyze my contagion
Investigate the contamination and...
