Once upon time I came alive
Living any which way is how I survived
From the depths of hell
To the heights of heaven’s rise
Crooks, Murderers, Beasts and Saints
Were both enemies and allies
But my story is so told
From turned a new leaf preachers
To elementary school teachers
Who fought to make a mark
A man of men raised by women
And so they tried to write my story
To ignite my life paved in glory
But I was driven by demons
Battling Angels within time itself
So that is my Story my friend
For these are the shoes that I’m in
Stepping surely in the feces I laid
Watching the folly of followers
Trying to Walk this Way
Helping Others Up by Giving a Hand
As that Hand is in turn pulled back down again
Learning thru hard judgments to forgiveness
To never dismiss a soul seeking a right to light
This is my story, this is my life
So you say you can relate
But are you ready to reciprocate
Thru your life story’s to give me honor
With out question, is how you guessing
While I will be confessing and professing LOVE
That is all I got and this is what I give
But my story is full of not so nice elements
Within me I contain War without End,
Jealousy, Envy, Prejudice and Violence
All are markers that I have used to write with
But that is where night is and this is morning
Mourning the coming battle and the role I play
I’m not acting, nor just writing , this is my life
So before you go asking, think of your own
Life which I’m sure is not so boring , and I
Ask again, so What’s Your Story?

Today’s Runaway Slave (Pondering Haiku)Loosed away, work chains. Underground railroad egress Train of thought delays
Crowding on platforms Travails via black star lines No fruit from labor
Commuted sentence Telework logs overtime. Work for life balance
Me work come from dawn. Night come and me wan' go home. To rent too damn high
Retirement parties Not a care, no Medicare No service, track work
Plights fight inclusion Dead presidents, no regard Mule train solution
Forty-acre tool Diversified inclusion Track improvement plan
Redcoats strike again. Uncovered hoods, sundown towns Discounting two cents
Enough sense to know. Historically end...  |
Enemy of a StateShattered mirrors, Painting a picture, Gathering shards, Swept up as to discard. Thinking I had it all, atlas. Until one rogue piece cut from my…past Close by, under tow, least expected, Never thinking so, making a way, Out the corner of my mind I was hit from behind, twirling to find It twas a mirage, surreal nightmare The present gift was in the feel right heir I forgot how shook I was to even go there So I buried her imagery, until glimpsing memory, Glancing blows, that brought sharp pangs, That just as quickly, dissipates, leaving ponder, Wandering around, cursing in the here and now Questioning, how in the now, could I have let this happen, ... |
Building CirclesKnow an Arc, playing parts. Castaways depart, intrepid two steps. Escaping the deluge of unseemly waves Promising horizons, via protracting out clauses. A wait to carry, defying all, even the unimagined Movements are buoyed between above and down under Summer falls, winters to spring arrival, always obstructed. Constructed in a divine draftsman sojourn journalling instruct Oft times half built, as progeny stand at precipice wandering. What was written on spirt, appeals in the curious to a survivalist The plan continues perpetually in building the contemporary For today is in some way tied to yesterday’s tomorrow in Déjà vu Retracing and refining civilizations lost during times of forgetting So walk long, and far, never alone, together We must Re-member |
Soul-Mate StationTravelers’ from far to near Goin’ places, fulfilling dreams that never leave. Tracing steps from past lives spent. Sightseers stick out, attired as fair-weather believers. Followers of scent, gatherers rush in to convene. Love is at work for Love seemingly never ever sleeps. Love curators crafting schemes, are the first to depart broken hearted. Missed connections, others forever lost in misdirection. Sojourning to look on from overcrowded waiting areas. Seldom stopping to consider glancing past a runway of incoming arrivals. Passenger manifests reveal newcomers, hearts in need of just reprieve. Expectant Escalators travel up and down, as if on an unclosed wheel. Appeal is heightened for travel to destinations on one-way tickets. Frequent flyers lie in open spaces, ex-patriate or exiles that no longer believe. Connections are made... |
AwaitsHearts race, love is chase Found wanting, thrown in place Life calls collect from memory lanes A season to recall, like summer to fall Movements are swept up in sudden change Never 2b seen in fact how root from seed remain Sown in silent steps, before my “I” knows what begets I knew, and kind of sort of believed, so still even still faith is kept Forgotten placements of footprints fitting solely out of ancestors’ instep For happiness and peace are my soul companions 2b never-ending Ports of call, from exotic to serendipitous are visited and marked in imprints Happiness remains whether swiftly moving or being quite still in being Destiny is a mountain of certain promise always dis... |
Quest for FireCold hands’ clutch to pine for minute hours Warm hearted touch, reminds amore to forever Hot hands fan infamy, stroking fears uncomfortably Wanting only bids of two cents, paying for sins dutifully
Frozen in ye ole style, forgotten writing sides of one another From babes to fools, to wolves to tool who is saving whom Buried in success, freed by obscurity leased progressively Peace came from the ignite of reanimate embers readers’ digest
Ah yes, it was the coldness of the many feats, blues less oxygen Turning brittle by the covering of whimsical stuff of cold outside within Undercovering the dearth of ... |

PuzzleGolden brown leaves rotate nearby During a daily walk in this wonder why Power is revealed again in returning guise
Fractured yet still attracted to bids 2b whole Living along, hard and fast to recount a soul Never actually lost, more or less forgotten past
Passersby’s briskly instep seeming to know the path Shared smiles are too kept in commute daily by such profile Wishes were granted, but 2b free, no more sights to see outside
Trading company for the emptiness to recycle again Darkness descends as the light retreats on time Counting the hands holding the feats of imaginary lines
