There Are Always Haters
We were on a long walk in the park
in late August
The lake water shimmered against the sun’s gaze
fall was upon us
And I stopped to lean against a tree
It was the farthest one I could find
You leaned against me and a passerby said something like,
“It won’t last ladies” as if there was something we were hiding
When [...]
The Universe in Discord
They shootin’ rockets at the moon
Claim they lookin’ for water
Awarding President’s Peace Prizes
He ain’t done shit to stop the slaughter
Requires a crisis of conscious
Why a crisis is upon us
But I don’t wish for terrible things
Only for them to be spun off us
Brought out into the light
To get to the center of truth
You gotta open up [...]
Deciphering A Purpose
Every day I reflect on the person I am becoming.
A constant work in progress I used to call myself, but it’s more like a constantly evolving process in which I’m resolving my former doubt – living life as I know how.
There are times when eliminating toxic things and people from my world take their toll.
But [...]
The Transformation of Lives
How is it
That in such a short time
You have produced a fear
That has crippled our stride
As I watched my baby’s face succumb
To news neither of us were expecting
We became numb
Breast cancer
the diagnosis
It was confirmed to us
It had dug in its trenches
Tracked footprints across
Our hearts, beating away
Never detached for naught
As we prayed for an answer
I felt [...]
A Poem to Self
My healed black ego
Hides well under the scars
Placed carefully within
Misshapen bouts of depression
Can’t think clear enough
Through the emotional discarding
Of those well-sung lullabies
I used to sing myself at night
Flying through the open window
Out of a heavily burdened mind
Makes me thank God
For how feminine love makes me
Feels so free to alleviate
Any discord that plagues me
Like how the daily motions
of dallying in masculinity
Cause others to abhor
As [...]
Thoughts In Constant Motion
They come and go
Like a night time revival
Only it’s morning and
We’re thick as thieves
As we come together
Ready for rigmarole’s ritual
Fluttering about like tepid feathers
Rigid thoughts centered on
Not stepping on toes
Or missing the next run
Experiencing the ruminations of others
Lives daft with woe
And fraught with wonder
As this journey takes hold
It highlights my day
Saw a woman sneaking onto the bus the back way
Words don’t [...]
The Beautiful Part I
The beautiful are unafraid
to bear the deepest parts of the soul
They face fears without regard
to any sentiment that may engulf
They bravely take the charge
don’t cry foul when the tables turn ’round
The beautiful reflect the good in some
while never once on us looking down
The beautiful are the rarest
the most well rounded of us all
Personify the golden [...]
Sometimes The World Sucks
i.
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 [...]
Thank You To My Readers
i.
I love to write, create and conceptualize words,
And phrase them in ways I haven’t before heard.
Sometimes I come up with different topics for my blog,
But more often than not it’s those random disconnected thoughts.
That pop up.
They aren’t consistent enough to write about in the first place.
Secondly this results in saved drafts pending for days,
Until I get the urge to review, revise [...]
