Can you hear them?
dripping down the faces of those who mourn
blurring the vision and overcrowding the lines of sorrow
contorted mouths unsure of which way to turn
it hurts just to see them still
sitting lifelessly upon the cheeks of a family torn apart
bleeding from the inside out
no amount of words can justify the loss
another one down
the future on this plane no longer an option
the reverberation of the fall is seen on the faces in the crowd
can you not hear them?

4 letter WordLove, this word that so many use not knowing the position Just playing the field 4 letters spread across the tongue waiting to be delivered Each blow waiting for the wind to ease it back this way There is a lesson in the wait- How are you to love me if you don’t know what loving yourself consist of? Badgering over the silences left in between each line Fixing on the “I do’s” Digging deep into that crevices of the mind- Games Never seem to play old How are you to love me if you don’t know what loving yourself consist of? Let it Sit Marinate in the feelings constructed by such question Riddle me this…  |
Sun KissedI saw God today She gazed my way and all I could do was smile The radiancy of her rays shimmered across the way ever so gently she whispers my name a soft breeze that slowly kisses the copper of my cheeks Im ever so blessed and highly favored to be in such presence day in and day out a reflection of me as that of a mirror holding the crown that tipped a little -this was before I got sunkissed |
SituationsCut from a cloth That's vibrant and true Tongue held until spoken too No, not weak just wise For everything we must not react to Radiance spools from my inner eye Seeing through facades, walls and you Taking a few steps back to admire the view Holding nothing you say or do Personal Cut from a cloth of generational healing I am nothing less than god And everything more than these "Situations" |
Knowledge-ableKnowledge~able Excavating the mind for more than rubies and other gems Roughly scraping off the top layer that society scarred onto the corners of the pages Her story lies not too far off of yours Written erased rewritten Given books after books as though she could easily be figured out through everyday fingerings There is something lingering Her psyche seems a bit out of- wack She reads to keep her mind on track Transcending her reality Strengthening her vitality Living by morality |
A Single LookA single look within Self Stripping away the titles that seem to crowd us Left bare, open for all to see In an overly sexualized society What is ones’ number one priority? Facing the demons that no longer hide in the hallway closets They walk alongside us, snapping at every interaction “for keepsake” it whispers in my ears As to say our great grandchildren would even care Too lost in the chemtrails that they positioned in place So who are we when face that mirror? Enemy of my enemy? So would that make us…. lost |
But A WhisperWho Am I but a whisper in the calms of the skies floating against the gentleness of ntr awaiting remnants from my past lives to help create the now of our children Who Am I to the rays that rest gently on the face of you showing compassion in a world slowly turning gray |
Flame Of KnowledgeThe flame of knowledge |

I Have ElevatedI have ELEVATED 3rd eye becomes the 1st eye for eye see those things within thy self that equates to MY greatness Empowered by the vision of love Silenced by the depth of my graditude eye dive deep into the abyss of SELF learning; for the journey never ends growing; for my roots are ever changing becoming; for I AM and here enters endless possiblities oneness; centered in a world that has lost its way eye claw myself back to the middle meditation has become my art eye write to help correct the wrongs of this world to show that we all have a voice to be heard eye write to create a better view of what morrow can bring if we all turn inwards and accept self for all its worth eye write my children so that they too can have a voice and a reason to BELIEVE |
Emotion, In MotionBreathe in And hold that breathe… Breathe out Releasing all the pent up energy that is Constantly flowing, in motion Exhale out the swirl of confusion And watch it dissipate into the air Easy come, easy go Train that mind to co-operate with YOU The one in control is the one that thinks before the act Prevent he who knows not thy self From entering your fortress Your mind-scape Away from the thoughts that hold you down like cinder Block- out the nay say Introduce the up lifter of thy spirit Recognize self in the midst Jah9 said it best Don’t let the moment confine you Be aware And just breath |
