They just humI listen to their stories,
And also their vivid theories.
I listen of their swords to tears,
From their triumph to fears.
About their cold nights
About their moments of flight.
About their pains,
And also about the dragons they have slain.
About their tries,
About their sighs.
About their lows
About their highs.
Why I listen? I am not aware,
Or maybe because...

Potholes In My HeartThe scent of wet Earth rises a ghost
from beneath the lavish bungalow.
and above the high-end ceilings
and chandeliers which never flicker.
Nostalgia trickles down like sweat
Glimpses of plastic buckets
catching rain and our salty tears
flood the eyes.
Flashbacks strike like lightning
remembering the only toy-
an abandoned kite I tried to fly in rain
dampens my spirit.
Loud wails roar like thunder
hearing the...

From The HeartTimes are tough, but know I’m here,
Your forever friend, my love, my dear.
When sky’s turn gray and shadows fall,
I’ll be your light, make me your first call.
No matter the storm, please don’t be afraid,
I’ll always be here, it’s the friendship we’ve made.
The pain in your heart is quite overwhelming,
My friend, my dear, I’ll be here...

Calvin’s Heart Beats Orange and BlueIn Edmonton’s chill, where the faithful stand,?Calvin cheers loud with a firebrand.?From Gretzky’s grace to Messier’s might,?He’s lived and breathed each game night.
He knows the legends—Kurri, Fuhr, Coffey—?Their names like verses in hockey’s poetry.?Now it's Connor, blazing past the pack,?And Draisaitl keeping defenders back.
With Bouchard’s blast and Skinner’s saves,?Calvin stands tall through losses and waves.

6 Dead, 4 Wounded, And One On The WayLeukemia boys and
Leukemia girls wave
in hospital volunteers,
as the angels wave
them away.
What is
love?
Beyond
an overpriced
ambulance ride,
and an unnecessary
hospital stay?
The most beautiful things:
summer sweat,
and Rome after
rain.
Inside,
a child draws
a yellow sun
with trembling fingers.
The IV, taped
down like it’s trying
to hold him
there.
Forced positivity.
A heart full of
apathy.
I see that
same world you try
to see with substance sober,
and I’ll be the first to...

The GardenerThe Gardener
I thought, could I
shape the clouds,
Those ones on high,
With hand and mind
What greater blossoms then
would come to eye!? Beauty of
some rarer orchid, or rose?
Or just the tip of my protruding
nose, sniffing for scents where
they are not…? Botany my
heart!...

Today my heart races for youYour flesh was never warmer than my passion, a flame more intense than you could ever bear. My love for writing poetry is my secret weapon.
While I may not claim to be gifted
My identity is Black, and words have always motivated me. I can string them together easily, but making them meaningful? That’s...

Speak To Me From LoveWhen I’m in a place of darkness and cold,
Speak to me from Love, no need to be bold.
For you’re only sharing what you’ve been told,
Allow Truth to flow through that’s good as gold.
Dear writer of poetry, release truth which can mend.
Let it flow through our land and spread like the wind.
Write from your instinct, tell...

Immanent and transcendentPath of the heart transcends the universe,
in a realm eternal beyond space-time
but if we’d sing a love song, pen a verse,
ego is retained to feel bliss beat’s chime.
The heaven mind seeks too orbits God’s heart,
so reaching the zenith is not enough,
since form will die and we’ll need to restart,
surfing waves of earth life, both calm...

You, in Every FrameYour eyes?
They're like midnight — not stars, just... midnight.
Dark, full of something I can't name.
I get lost there. I always do.
It’s frustrating, kind of thrilling too.
Your smile? Trouble.
The kind I’d trip over twice and still chase.
It hangs in the air after you leave —
Like perfume or a half-finished thought.
I hate how much I replay it.
Your...

Death of the EgoI never thought they would figure me out
How could they find me in the layers of illusion?
I never thought one could completely turn about
So many pleasures, I kept them in confusion
Now after all these years, it has come to this
I push the same buttons, but their minds start to think
They’ll kill their ego in their...

The Beat of My HeartWithout a word I slip out of bed
and a thousand conversations
run through my mind
as I walk barefoot across worn carpeting.
Two nights ago, I barely made it home
while driving through a deluge
and water on the roads.
I defied the warnings
and survived
as bolts of lightning laced the sky.
I was the storm.
I was the silence.
Now as the sun pokes...

Heart with money and Poetry in the material worldSadly, only the heart does not always do,
you need the strength of the money too.
Money makes the world go round,
only fools would say that it is not true.
But the actions of the heart with money
those are the only stories that achieve glory,
a tale the people will tell more excitedly to you.

If I talk, it creates...
