Outcry
Reflections reveal deep parallel rivers, shallow in perceived depth.
And though in darkness no slumber has been slept.
Pain stings and persist, and though Death sings, Life insists.
Each night consist of eyes open and rivers never desist.
Gardens of serpents with one apple on the tree.
It ends as it began… At least it does to me.
Day one or 100, nothing changes; normalcy, sameness, monotony.
Pain and I are friends now. The best of; if truth be told.
I need to feel something, so, with a tight grip, her hand I hold.
Reflections reveal deep parallel rivers, their depths, to well explored.
I’ll hold tight to the hand of my friend. She and I are of one accord.

Grand Assumption
I woke up from my nap feeling powerful, you know cause we so use to feeling powerless, that's part of their cowardice, say we living on borrowed time but that's linear thinking plus who hold the hourglass?
I thought you knew what our powers were.
When you see the beauty of Nia Long or words from Nina Simone , even the device from where you reading this poem was invented by someone who realized his , super power.
Do I really have to give examples of what we created? Back when our ancestors were degraded, after hard times were paraded ,you can feel in the texture of our hair when you braid it, during the "Civil" Rights or before the Ark and the Slave ship, the slavers dont get how we've made it , but you cant see your "super power?"
I guess the singing and dancing ain't enough,
The topic nor the logic barely discussed
We make gold out of rust, metaphorically, historically we've been treated horribly
Painting this picture cause there's more to see but you dont see your, super power
You took this term too literal cause we're focused on the death of a general or maybe these liberals to me their all cynical,
Winter time we had seasonal rituals,
But let me chill, that was primitive right ?
What we seem to think is right, is wrong
Their lying habitual,
I think you feel what I trying to give to you.
What my mom and my aunt went through, reflect our society in its entirety, its cyclical
But they too realized that they had it too
super powers.

Darius and Nina
Did y’all ever exhaust the possibilities?
Or is Romance dead?
We watched you like stars across the night sky
Somehow wanting to see ourselves in you
It was a beautiful, ordinary love
Is she still Oshun?
Or has she now become something less?
I’ve looked for Sanctuary and the beautiful souls in that place
The sequel starring the Lovehalls never came
However, I still like to think that
Darius and Nina made a place in this world
With at least one child
Maybe more
In Chicago or Atlanta — shit even New York
But its been awhile and life can fade us all
Who could judge you if you fell into
the Routine
Because that is real
But if poetry is the possibility of language
And love impregnates life
We might still see you in the rain
Reclaiming one another
One more time -
Winter SOULstice
Shortest day, longest night
I just want someone who will hold me tight
Let me know everything will be alright
And spend time in a playful fight...with pillows
Can we just cuddle while listening to the wind blow
Allow our better nature to become our BETTER NATURE as we ebb and flow/Mesmerizingly
Like the waves in the ocean/Silently
At times and then who knows/How high the decibels may go/Ahhhh this 2020 pandemic stole
So many opportunities /To show/ us the intricacies
Of the beauty /Within us/We can choose /To view
It as a minus or a plus/But tonight, I can fantasize
About how I'd love to tease and tantalize/Kinda hard to verbalize /These deep SEEDed emotions
But I'll try, and I'll write/And someday my words will take flight/Then alight/on to a pair of ears
He'll then be inspired to draw near
And my winter SOULstice dream
can become real within a year

Poetry
Make love to me.
Hold me as delicate as you hold a paper,
Spread over me like the ink that bleeds through a pen.
Kiss me in cursives,
Bite me like the punctuation marks.
I want your signature all over me.
For the world to see.
Be the writer, do the words on me.
Baby, I'll be your poetry.

BITES.....
Bite her lips, with just enough passion to make her go mad.

#forthegreatergood #believeinyourselfAnd if this world has never broken you
May it never succeed
If its never threatened to take and run with your love
May you always feel it
If it did you are mighty
If you've never worked hard to see it all crumble
May life never walk in and break all your pieces
If this world has never brought you to your knees
May you never cry to the heavens for even a rain drop
May you never turn around and your reality sour
And if this world has swallowed you whole
Chewed you up and spit you out without direction
Take those pieces and mend them
Share your knowledge amd pledge to be better
And if the world has never broken you be humble
If it has take that humility and serve -

"Just in case, you are one of the many beautiful women that rarely get the chance to ever hear it. May all the beautiful Sistahs that read this, be forever reminded, and never ever forget it. I am one man of many men that knows, loves, honors, respects, and appreciates your worth. If this makes you smile or even blush just a pinch, then I've been truly rewarded thank you, and please continue to enjoy, love, and embrace the reflection you see in the mirror."

She Knows
Their eyes can't see her pain.
She know her scars will remain.
She knows her dreams will
Not be the same.
She knows that all the
Cold thoughts that came
Weren't there to go away.

Something you can't feel or smell
Maybe the idea of someone
Ooohh how it eats you alive -

Does it continue to fight

Do you believe in love with me
Can we walk out the fog still mighty
Maybe even mightier? -

Forgive life for when she wronged me
Forgive myself for being too entitled
Time and time again for the pain I've caused
For hurting them the way I did
For walking away from the good things
Drown in my sorrows for missing out
Breathe baby, BREATHE!!
So I wake to you to my side
Life says get back up, Hold firm
He is here and you are just fine -

Know my woods were calling me
Dragged me in and locked their doors
Understand that my maker was calling me to heal
Know that with all in me I needed to step away
This world can be such a drag
The strength it takes to withstand is overwhelming
So Ive learned to make my escapes drastic -

In the worlds view I get side eyed
Upbraiding eyes that dont spit it out
I know you see them
But I have nothing to hide
In this body I have lived and continue
Mesmerized by its strength
I see no fault
I jink away from hating my body
Without loving it I'd be lost
Thank God I have the memory of an elephant -

Be ready for road trips into our love
Long ones like British Columbia to Florida

Be ready for oceans of love
Deep like the Pacific I hope you love to swim
When you come for me
I pray you are ready for life
A long life like wine as old as Massandra Sherry de la Frontera
I pray you love a strong wine
I pray you prayed for one in form of a woman
