A Fleeting Encounter
Hear me out for a minute; I wasn’t just thinking about me
I was thinking of my heartbreak and recent insecurity
I was thinking, damn, despite this, I’m feeling you immensely
Knowing I had baggage and honestly not wanting you to see
I didn’t want to share everything, embarrassed by my feelings
Wanting so badly to move on, but emotions [...]
Real Talk Pt. II
See you still ain’t scratched that selfish itch
See you still ain’t stopped me from being a hopeless romantic
Ticked off cause my love gave you a number
I kept you idle for hours while away messages soothed your wonder
Told you I was no good for you
Yet you refused to let go
Figured those words would cause allergic reactions [...]
Cake
She doesn’t say it aloud
Too concerned with portraying a fallen angel now
Until I bare my soul in rare moments of abundance
And convince her my poetry is more than dropping nouns
And see how she talks of her past loves
And the strength she’s gained from moving on
Soul well oiled and aged like leather scrolls
Believes she inherited her daddy’s heart of [...]
Loves Consolation
With eyes half-wide and lucid
ulterior motives entice
mind won’t shut up
with wry smile and vacillating lips
a cock-eyed counterclockwise disguise persists
despite fiercely contested dismissive attempts
I sway
dark in the shadow of my density
a spot on moonlit night
ripples wave intensely
eyes pierce through like fright
dark against white, basking in onyx
and soon the tide carries
swaying in and out of shadows
calculating times disintegration
disposing conscious [...]
Sometimes The World Sucks

It’s not always obvious, but it’s often staring you in the face.
It’s a feeling, a sickness; an evil called hate.
News and media are filled with it, although most can’t even relate.
Writers and poets are all too aware and through their words retaliate.
Hate means “intense dislike, to feel antipathy or an aversion towards.”
Not concerned with the good [...]
360 Degrees of Us
Countless times she told me she loved me
I told her in due time she’d show me she loved me
And then there was this, our souls mating in destiny
For she insisted our past lives were destined to be
She claimed we had been together all throughout history
In one life I broke her heart and in another I [...]
Premier Feature
The weekend show was our very own special
Words tossed like pizzas leaving emotions disheaveled
Torn in pieces, ragged remnants remain distorted bevels
Mirror images of self descruct; my relationship’s in trouble
My point of view is this, piece of mind remains remiss
Strategically recorded her when she matter-of-factly called it quits
Hard feelings ’cause stones tossed in glass houses no [...]
