Take the Pain away
As our love cascades
Take away the sorrow that washes over my being in waves
No hopes that it may be saved
One chance to escape from this Pain you gave..
Pain you so willingly instilled in me...

Nothing more to say
At the end of the day
You were still the wrecking ball which caused our foundation to crumble
The ultimate Daily Double of trouble
And though this isn't a game, you've still left us jeopardized
Too foolish was I to realize

I have traversed this wasteland
Holding my poetic remains in my own scarred hands
Several clean fractures in my pen
Crippled and no longer any scriptures shall it spin
Only a few pages in my torn ridden notebook; the rest scattered in the wind
I pause and gaze at the sheets as they flutter in the air
I think the old me may have cared
The old me wouldn't be scared
But now I find myself praying to be spared
I should be dead; never should have made it out that demonic ... Read More

I was standing by the stove
When you suddenly appeared
Studying me up and down
I now felt some fear

I asked why your here
But you had nothing to say
As you make your move
I was your only prey

Then you pushed me to the floor
And told me not to make a sound
My tears started flowing
When you entered my mound

You grabbed me by the throat
And forced yourself deep in me
I had to close ... Read More

She sits understandably incomplete
She smiles but she stands disconnected from reality
finally but not completely accepting that she is a lost soul
She feels like she has lived her whole life in a fishbowl

no one to console her Pain
her thoughts of unworthiness drives her insane
she feels like she’s been judged too closely

She Lives but not

She feels ugly
because no one ever told her she was beautiful
her own mind is judgmentally brutal ... Read More

With each drop coming down, the rain floods my heart

Although I can't have you

I've loved you from the start

Every whisper spoken, disappears in the dark

I know you are the token, but I don't make a mark

I can't help my self from these feeilngs, so bitter sweet

This passion so strong, that even night itself, cannot bare

But keeping it locked too long, it may shatter and tear

I can sit here and write about my final destruction

Beca ... Read More

Here I lie under it all, motionless and waiting for death.

Motionless with thoughts of my children and my soul trying to reach past it.  Reach up through the rubble and the years of poverty and decay.  Reach past the hunger and the thirst.  Under it all I think of a better place and being there.  I search for hope day after day yet day after day I am here.  I’m thinking of my people rising up and taking back our li ...

The Cotton People

Hand me down the burden of cut hands and sun beaten brow. Allow me to walk barefoot thru thorns and thicket. Deprave me the drink to quench my thirst and soothe my throat. Force me to my feet when I'm full of cold and sickness. Scar my back when my honor steps forth. Steal away my father and mother and make me bury my own brothers. Rape my sister then punish her for baring your y ... Read More

Past Tense

Here on this day, I remember my mother and father and all those that are bound to their creation. Every man, woman and child that was raised to honor those before them, all those that were raised to provide to those after. One house and home to shelter all that need the warmth within. The blessings that kept the fire lit and let the bread rise. All that could be done for family was done ... Read More

I keep havin these bad dreams
They always end with loud screams
They’re always different but have the same theme
Death; 
In one of them I actually lost my breath
Am I going crazy?
Sometimes I feel so lazy, don’t get enough sleep
Cause once im in deep; things start to creep 
They’re pretty intense
Can’t tell the difference from the dream and reality 
Im losing my mentality 
Whats wrong with my insanity
At first I was like “whate ... Read More

dedicated to melanie ...  who still grieves a love cheated and so denied ... her andrew.


i forgot to die
i was too busy smiling and dancing
faking and faking
screaming, i made up so many corpse-coloured lies
that made the world seem so smiling and dancingly fine
i was alright ... i just forgot to die
i was so scared. frightened, i tried so hard ... i tried so hard how not to cry

but the dancer in my arms - in my eyes ... in my mind

See I am Poetry

I am lyrics I am an art form

My name means more than your heart pours

I am the righteous salvation of my enemies

I dine on desire because death was my appetizer

Crackheads are center stage empty carriages bloody pacifiers

I am truth spoken 

I am love shown

Shell casings and blocks blown 

I am hercules I am rock strong

Bullets flair through my inner city

Busting glasses and shattering minds oh pitty ... Read More
