Rise up into the day

Let the light shine on

and lead the way

Ride your muse in the sunlight

Let the love fill your heart and stay

Thoughts inside a dream

Memories of a time

Heavy on the mind

The weight of sorrow

With the weight of sorrow

The path I walk alone

For those too weak to speak

From saddened hearts and wounds deep

And from heartache

The soul weeps

And all hatred is

But a trait, a blister

Merely ...

As winter comes undone

The ice melts

and rivers run

Frosted air baked

By the burning sun

And the forest comes abuzz

Critters and creatures scatter abound

Above bird calls resound

In springtime common mates are found...

to languidly float on the surface of turquoise oceans
a willowy stroll upon pristine sandy shores
to bask
to tan
under the rays and warmth of the summer sun
but
this is a political poem

gleefully frolicking in chocolate water falls

The way that she breathes life into me,

Proves to me that she believes the righteousness that resides in me.

The life in me that was meant to be shared with my sacred queen.

The one who's not fascinated by ordinary things, but inspired by spiri...

I stopped asking
to be kept

stopped proving
I was worth keeping

stopped wanting

stopped needing

stopped loving
more than self

to breathe

I stopped waiting
for the right time

stopped looking
for a sign

stopped begging

Faith is

I Know

That I know

That I Know

That I Know

That is what

Faith is

She had voodoo in her thighs

We made love on a ouija board

Bodies moving involuntarily

Convulsions

Compulsions

Inside a sexual seance

.Performing devilish acts with arched backs

Her sex majic left a aftertaste

Sticky and sw...

It's good and bad

in everything

looking at it

through both eyes

otherwise

all you see

is the light

The Immortal Wize

I was writing poems

in places

no one looks for poetry

mistaking silence

for rejection

I wrote poetry where

no one came to feel

I titled it Failure

it wasn’t failure

nothing was wrong

with the words

that were heard

by no one

no one...

stop asking questions

search no more for answers

refrain from the need for explanation

that is evolution

The Immortal Wize

today

many nights
I set them there
purposely
to direct you safely
to me

some were born in silence others in screams I did not know how to name them all Each one cried a fragment of tears a mark left behind I would not forget that I survived myself the number stands before me Not as a goal yet to meet but as a clo...

what I wish for you is too much to pen
and if words could touch you in your corner of the universe
I want them to plant kisses all over you
to smother you long enough to take your breath away
to have you dance in the Caribbean windstorms

I was never afraid of being forgotten I was afraid of being remembered incorrectly So I stopped explaining I let silence correct the typos . I let time misunderstand me . The truth The real truth doesn’t rush to be aknowledged ...

what do you say
when you know it's over?
does love just float away
like a leaf in the breeze?
do you pour out your heart
to the nearest stranger
and every night
find yourself on your knees?

does the thought of her
keep you occupied
