Updated:06/29/24
baby I aint come just to visit
and if it is what it is
then to serve us
was exquisite
when we did
what wouldve
what should’ve
when it made sense
fools and feeling
is it high or the limit
it never was
and never if it isnt
I hope I held you close at night
And gave you a different
life experience
had me wishing
wanting waiting
Stuck in my mode
in fact I say it
I was deep infatuation
I love my morning with
a coffee early morning
birds sing Joval
to my joe
she like matcha
tea with geishas
out the holes
till we risen
to eat we gracious
then the day end
im grateful
I push the ride
in phases of 9-5
I been fueling for a feeling
I watch the wings
take flight
to lion on my side
the Griffen
I been grieveing for a minute
I been hurting mine
hoping she hurt less
My baby my art on
it last foundation
stressed contours creating
dead ends dont make creation
is worthless
while in awaiting
Im not anticipating
How call you
by the beatgul form
the evening star
Ill be set after noon restarts
I choose some silence
my heart aloof
when the moon looks up
I been living in my head
my dog shit
sick ass the day i walked it
white schnauzer
on my legs
the chirping in truth
to sing songs that dont land
by the river
caste my person
have not found
a catch yet
Please allow for my resurgence
I been looking for convergence
I found love less
it was for perfect
so rembrant to a compromise
the night watch
some eyes shy
Unless to you my muse
chose to chime in
on the colored kind
my weeping eye starts to cry
episodic dream
forget me not
for remember she
the hurts my side
see you walking down the street
each time we meet
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by,
or you can walk on me
once went away that night
like Make believe
That you don't see the tears
you cant grieve
im still learning
privacy; when to speak
I break down and cry
so walk on by
Convergence could never compromise
Reflective Essay Poem: “The Spirit Of The Detroit Black Workhorse”
America My WorkHorse Never once tried to lie on its side; i slept to the tree post all night, the might watch. On my farm with a pick-force and walked through barns to manufacturing yard with pride, held low, D hat high; A resource driven America wants my Detroit; for they remember the time when they controlled the stolen Black work horse that achieved them capital from 13 colonies into empire. War mongers, the horrible don’t give final wishes; They send no forgiveness if they want it and if it was stolen its lost; We manifested our destiny picking straws, field born, we mud-bound few; the evil of the headless ones; They refuse to ride with you.
but put a trough on a boy girl; ill work you till your black and blue; nigger, negro, black jew; maybe the original few to not be caste out; the fish in our river polluted produced nuclear clouds; fishbone taken out the spineless wont make it out; Detroit the same about 2008; You don’t know about it extra read all about about destruction at hand of the county sheriff for country; And the diamonds in land of coal could salt white as snow; Let my people roam; my goal to go and wont gone, self control we start up the car, to the marathon; Automata may we row the river slow; DaVinci the art to behold could calm the funk brother and be supreme being for her soul; And no you cant have her. Im manic man told to manage the manics on Mondays; in 7 day I’m a mechanic; we all need lumps of metal, fools with the tools we got those Brody.”
