We had a Chevy Cavalierback when I was a kid

Each morning to get it started, this is what I did

My older brother would turn the key and pray to our savior

While I sprayed ‘Spray Start’ directly into the carburetor!

I like to sit and watch

always choosing the back row mezzanine

I find it sexy being a poet

having reached the depths

of so many words.

I call it a mental pinnacle,

a touch leaving my mouth

drooling to taste one more.

Me wanting to explore what would

grow from a mind so rooted,

planted in my very...

Hell... I do not know what me and my Gee was getting into
All I know we were supposed to have met the Crips and their crew
The exchange of the payoff dope was near a cemetery
I’m from the hood and we make a drive pickup in the night, strapp...

To the one vibing with me,

I’d be your page,

and then anotherand so onuntil

I’m authored by your softest touch.

To complete your book will need more

than just a night, so stay close, be here,

at…,at...,no buts, let’s keep the pace...

Mm... to whoever the tender energy of my embracing words my touch
I feel the softest faint of your aura, slow down, relax, there’s no rush
Can you be my page, just for the night, I heard your mind and the promises, the what if, when the beginn...

You know when you rub him wrong,

but he still hugs you the same

You know when you argue to his face,

but his patience still remains

You know when you lie but he

still believes in your words

You know that when you do,

She’s mine, so she won’t have to

find him; she’s a sublime gift,

better than perfect if perfect was,

and I’m higher than God’s Hymn.

Dinosaurs saliva, even the water that Jesus turned into wine

Has been recycled so often throughout time

That it has been both yours and mine

Blood, sweat, tears, and other liquids of each kind

How can we be certain where all that water...

Let's drop everything

we had in mind today,

and go some place random

to kiss in front of strangers.

Let’s go to the most crowded

room we can find and walk

through holding hands, never

faltering, never losing touch.

Let’s go where t...

Tattered fruit,

black and blue,

abused,

rediculed

Tatter the fruit;

shame on you

for the same monsoon,

you’ve been a fool

You’ve been a bull,

un-beneficial,

pitiful,

and unequivocal,

what she dreams,

Poetess!, Poetess!, Wherefore art thou

Poetess!? My mind is barren of your

non-virgin words, spoken so softly like

a whisper past my crowned treasure.

I need for your scribes to seduce

my yearning for a mental climax,

Green pasture as thy comfort from a French Creole Envoi’s scepter, the divine orb of me
As you can feel, touch, see
And will come to believe
Spiritual enlightenment from the depth of my melanin context your soul shall receive

Unidentified sins make it hard for souls to recover. Comparing sins as if one were less vile than the other.

(Dusted this old one from the 90's attic...")

you've got a face like an angel
built like a Nubian queen
your pair of eyes shine the brightest
like no one else's I’ve seen
we've been together for a long while
and I just can’t understand

Close your eyes

Sketch me on canvas with unseen sight

Allow your hands to roam as your guiding light

A work of art in progress

Inhale and exhale

Fill me in with ever so gently details

Use the vision streaming through your mind

My contours...
