Purple Cemetery

I write so many poems that you don’t see
They end up in purple poem cemetery
Mangled in the anal of my maroon mind
Tangerine tangles of wasted time

Violet vines of not good enough
Tall teal trees of unreturned love
Winged words white like albino leaves
Falling to their death from teal tree

Falling for you’re deaf to my poet tree
Bass treble cleft left in green cerebral dream
Unsung songs unmade love
Sing a longs gone wrong
Made in maroon lust

But somehow I manage to hold on to it
Maybe it will be reborn as a chocolate kiss
of rainbow reflection of historical views
Of future endeavors red spice unused.

Black Poetry Day

My black is majestic my black is smooth
Even when I was banished from public pool
Even if I was portrayed black face fool
I was a raven flying above you.

I am much more than kinky hair
Thick thighs brown eyes and ebony stare
I am the truth if you want or dare
Take my hand and I’ll take you there.

Black is deeper than had been enslaved
Nothing weaker than to steal me away
From my history where I am great
From times mystery of healing faith

October 17th we celebrate
All black poets on black poetry day
You don’t have to know it that you are a poem
written by spirit, fruit of the loin strong.

Most of us poets are not well known
In our hearts we find gem stone home
For literacy and for fuchsia full blown
Purple royal words we call our own.

HIGHER LOVE

If I couldn't please you anymore
Would you still lavender love me
Or would your heart drop on black floor
Would you still hazel hug me

Would you still bring me red roses
Could you rejoice in being friends
If the intimacy department closes
Would you still try to hold holy hand


Would you feel disappointed and blue
Would you turn away from our blond bond
There's an elephant in the room
Would you seek peace in a sacred cream calm

Would you believe our love was a fail
Simply due to my new dedication
Would you try to meet me where
You found my new dedication

I'll never tire of your fire
I lived for it many a day
It is still you I desire
But in a different wholesome way

I am saying love is forever
Even when one of us reaches higher
We have a bond that will not sever
Corinthian Agape type desire

So it is a kind of jest
To ask you such a thing
When we have been so blessed
With love the heart can bring

If I stop an important part
Will you wither like rose inside
Will you take back red heart
And follow me and fuchsia find

There is a holy place of love
That plants a painless peace
Once only day dreamed of
Following pure holy lead

My love has not flown away
It simply matured dear heart
Would your love celebrate
And love me still in God

Roses

he is tall and dark
gentle strong hands tender heart
brown eyes deep like sea

plant peace inside me
he gave me twelve red roses
pearly smile shining

A Weed

I am but a weed
In God's flower garden
Humbled to exist
Even if not as red as roses
Not as tall as sun flowers
Not as warm as marigolds
Not as thrilling as lillies

But I am wonderfully and fearfully made
I invite imagination
And like a falling star
Children pick me to
Blow blue breaths wishes upon
And I fly into whimsical wind
To deliver the messages of hopes
I start my journey as gold and then
Turn white just before my flight
A prize in disguise 
I am a dandelion.

Lillypad of Love

My mind drifts back
To red times we've had
Healing happy lime laughs
Revealing shining over anything sad

Magical how one word from you
Colors me whatever you choose
From lamenting lemon to maroon
All based on love so true

You are my favorite song
I sing you all day night long
U write me pink passionate poems
Invite me to dream along

We don't have much in hand
But rich in heart with romance
By time design holding hand
Spirit so cheery we freelance

No bars no cars only white stars
Can showcase our love bizarre
We cruise like cotton clouds so vast
Upon our lovely lime lilly pad.

Wildflower Love

Butterfly kisses on nape of neck
Make me feel warm soft blessed
Because you are my yellow happiness
My love like a dove that has flown the nest

Runaway love so red and free
The kind of passion like a fruit so sweet
For the old fashioned or newer generation
Love from above heaven sent celebration.

Song Attached Because U Drink and Drive Repost

Someone special died because you drink and drive

Dear drunk driver I want you to know
Forgiveness is a fire enlight save souls
Maybe you live
Maybe you are deceased
Maybe you forgive 
Maybe you are hurting

Blue you blue drink
Driving reckless quicker
Lives are linked 
cause you can’t handle liquor

You didn’t care
You knew you were drunk
Car a weapon killing daughter or son

What if it was your mama
Or your daddy
Broken and bleeding
Screaming and crying

Wrapped around a tree
Or on the highway
What if your wife and child
Died that day?

Someone special died because you drink and drive.

Every day and holiday a family sighs
No more birthdays or 4th of Julys
No more phone calls or smiles from bright eyes
Victims who died because you drink and drive

Those who survive have hard work to do
Physically, therapy, or creating life new
advocating for cause for spiritual mending
Creating a bridge from tragedy to winning


this song has music

Wanda Woman

She takes her wand a sugar cane long
And waves it in the air singing a song
She likes to make her heroic cape
From collard green leaves that she crochet

She makes her brazier from coconuts
With licorice straps sticky to touch
Her bald head blessed with a crown
from grapevines with grapes hanging down

Her skin is thin from all the chemo
She is stronger than superman in her soul-food soul
She uses cotton candy to make her socks
Shoes so fancy by Goldilocks

Bet you never again will see
A skirt made of dried fruit candy
Yellow sun rays shine on her face
Fighting cancer with food in more than one way.

I AM

I am that little light that shines
Within your heart inside your mind
That rises floats despite dark dilemma
I keep you warm despite white December 

I am the start when some say end
That little spark of blue you begin
The make a way out of neon nothing
To pave to raise the road to green dream

I am a yes when life says no
And you digest a positive soul
That cherry confess to be inclined
To walk by faith and not by sight

I am lavender love despite hate
And tender touch that makes a day
I am of peach peace in any place
Find me with ease when you pray 

I’m the fuchsia flower blooming your soul
I am purple power I am hazel hope
