The Flip Side

I kissed the night as it slipped away.
Escaping the Sun and it's baby blue sky.
The day always invades our tranquil colorless space.
I'll find Joy when it fades me to the other side.
Got feral eyes that I fixate, on the only thing moving, it's...

Forgiving To Remember It

Forgiving to remember it,
When and where done to do?
Is easier than forgetting,
Who and why a forgiveness given...
Stays to remain unforgotten.
Trying to erase from one's mind,
A doing to forgive 'and' forget...
Everytime,
That same...

INWARD SPRINKLING

The withering splashes of the soul-form turtle are challenged by the rose-yellow squint of the setting Sun; the chirping of birds - not so much -, an army of blind, mouthy nobodies locked in the shells of rhapsodies, razor primitives kicking onion...

Can You See?

you see? can you see?
always thinking
same thoughts

can you be? can you be?
traveled to
a new plot?

these are the children of the hope
Who can think
differently

theses are not the same who
grope, lost in t
houghts underseas

Soar

Feel it.
That freedom of yours.
Felt to feel blessed to soar.
Obstacles in your way to face,
Like others before to go ignored.
To accept and believe in your heart before,
This journey you began...
Started with an open to close behind you,
A...

"Hurry"

" Hurry"

Hurry to run
Hurry to play
Hurry to work
Hurry to pay
Hurry to eat
Hurry to sleep
Hurry to walk
Hurry to drive
Hurry to start
Hurry to finish

God’s child

Hey sista! I heard you have the ends to buy a Benz.
A new home to call your own.

You have two degrees under your belt and financial wealth. You should be proud of yourself.

You don’t need recognition, you did this all out of your own...

Storms over Paris

Storms over Paris

I tremble like a restless leaf
And quake beneath the looming clouds
That gather anger in their wake,
And all the earth with darkness shrouds.

That tempest pitch from Sparta comes
Convulsing the Ægean Sea

I am the girl

I am the girl
I am the word
I begin to unwind
For wagers so grime
People keep interesting
My penitence subsisting
I have values uplifting
The presence of god is wondering
Near me is a tree
Christened and free
God is with me
God is the...

Don’t leave us

We, are constantly afraid, of you on the run,
Where we only want to be held close again,
To keep you in sights, heartwrenchingly waiting
We

Wait

We jump at any and every movement you make and eagerly await the new nonsensical

Sacrifice

They asked for my youth & I gave it with out a thought.
They asked for my beauty & I hoped it could be bought .
They asked for all my time, & all my minutes became their own.
They asked for all my money, & every dollar became their home.

Unfocused and Uncontrolled

When I am driving my surviving
Weighs upon my mind.
Since some don't care if someone's where
Such drivers in are unkind!

Some go as far when in their car,
Exploding in road rage
To change the fate of those they hate
When using Satin's...

Nightmare: Unclean

Sharp lines and
Medical beds
Stark walls
A metal table
I'm bound by IVs
And dripping
Poison
This place isn't for my health
It's a trap
And scientific research
My body;
A lab rat

I unhook myself from their contraptions,
Dragging my...
