The Color Black

American Autochthons

shining bright the sun
as do the faces of my
peoples

stars light up the night sky
as do the faces of my
peoples

constellations remarkably constant in beauty
as are the faces of my
peoples

90's House Party (Haiku)

Snapping their fingers,

Stomping their feet, heads bobbin'

Moon is in disco

Blackberry Haiku

The blackberry bush

Staining my fingertips, a

Sweetness worth the mess

The sun's going down

Grab as many one can hold

Painted crimson hands

Conversations (Haiku)

Some of my very

Best conversations, I was

Talking to myself

Nostalgia

the stink of the swamp slaps you in the face in the same exact spot

never disappointing, memorizing the land mark where you began to hold your breath

after years you become accustomed, how will you know you are getting close to home

restless frogs after the rain, mating season in the south

resurfacing sounds of nostalgic sweet warm spring sound-front breezes

blue-jays playfully dance in a puddle

looking way pass the caterpillar stricken tobacco fields where the eagles circle

death lingers, something quite necessary in nature

a hologram of my granddaddy on his tractor diffracting from memory, he's waving

all surreal, times are still changing, the corn fields don't look the same to me anymore

and yet, the urge to see them is of a giddy child

flocks of geese overwhelm the atmosphere with the honking echoes of familiarity

a sense of relief as they drown out ...

People of the Stars

Take note of universal patterns
Ice and rock rings around Saturn
Sacred geometry explains design
Evolves in everything
It is the golden ratio
Responsible for the music of the cosmos
Sound broke the walls of Jericho
Intrigued with astronomy more than Galileo
Incoherent as to why you are attracted to the sky
Continuously looking for what or whom with your eyes
People of the stars
Only you don't know what you are
Stripped from your harmonic progression
Never will it be too late to discover the lessons
The goal is to spread peace
Wishing  blessin's upon blessin'
Bonded by the components of the atom
Microscopic charges of electrical burst
Uniquely fitted into the universe
At times things get difficult
Interesting somehow you know 
When to strike your lightning bolt
People of the stars
Do you know what you...

Superhero Suit

Auras brillant as the petals of an exotic flower
Did you know kindness was a superpower
Ability to attract higher vibrations
A notion to exert positive manifestations
Aware empathy is a desire
Angels cry spread your fire
Exemplifying acts of kindness a rare attribute
Not everyone can wear the superhero suit
Kindness is a superpower
Auras glowing like the petals of an exotic flower
Fully aware compassion is a desire
The ancients cry spread your fire
Not too common personifying kindness, we must admit
One size for all, only everyone the suit will not fit

No Sun Today

There was no sun today

Finding it challenging to not let it get me down

Refusing to liberate from my joy

Struggling with a sensation to be blah

Almost, as if somewhere along the way

I had been conditioned to feel

when it rains

Subliminal?- I Smirk

Moonlight Dance

I watched the moonlight

dance on the ocean surface,

awaiting my turn

Futuristic (Haiku)

We never quite know
what the future may hold but, 
an idea is near
