A DEDICATION
RAPPING BROOKS

~~~~~~~~~~

Many brooks I've heard rapping,
I dance with joy, end up clapping.
All have spirit, what err the land,
meandering journeys nature planned.
To sit on their banks, meditating,
to them babbling over rocks, relating.
To times gone by in Wiltshire,
I first dedicated my heart to nature.
No regrets, not...

The way I miss you is different now
I don't think about forever
I just don't know how
I miss your face, your laugh, your smile
It seems like a lifetime
Though it’s just been a while

It’s been a year since I heard the news
That Oh so terrible day
I never...

An Acrostic poem from a featured artist.. 1/20/2010


**Patience**

Partly to blame I
Accept my penance.
To quick to love,knowing the end was
Imminent. Yet I strive to
Endure......to overcome
Never thinking that loves
Choices,would lead me to an
Extreme conundrum!!!

The flow of time and I but a stone in the current

Upstream I cannot know,

Downstream but a memory.


Piece by piece I am worn,

To the past I become,

A shadow of what went before.


But I stem the flow, life's blood,

Staunch and strong,

Present in this single moment.

Hearts bleed heavy on a Cold Lonely Night
hurtin' since you walked on out that door

Whiskey jars tumble and I hear a little murmur
as some mighty Bayou Lightning Strikes tonight

Whether You're Using Me or just Wound Up Tight
It's gonna be okay baby you'll be  alright

He was a nice quiet gentle man
He had family friends wife and a daughter too
But Rayshard Brooks was also a black man
He was just waiting for a burger at Wendy's drive-through

He'd been for a drink and was tired that time of day
He fell asleep in...

"You're having a little one," 
I say, seeking information 
from my therapist 
(she's considerably
pregnant).  Then, I ask her 
about vocation: 

Why she chose this specialty, 
and did she 
know the baby's sex, 
name, and serial number?  
She says,  No Maybe about it,...

To My Friends…From Brooks

I know it’s hard to believe
In this poem of mine
That I find it very difficult
To spin the right words to rhyme

The amazing gift God gave me
Of so many friends who cared
Through all days dark or bright
And the love they freely shared

Music was...

SWEET FLOWER OF PARADISE
Grace ,a very sparkling jewel,
a ring of gold,brings day out of
night,sweet from bitter ,glory
out of shame and turns pebble
to pearls,weakness into strength.
This sweet flower of paradise
dwells in the heart that empties
itself of self.Prayer brings forth the
sweetest blessing,where God speaks
peace and fills with...

Transcend
Feel the wind
Soak up foreclosures inspirations
Never come to a stand still
Words with a true meeting place 
Bringing into play actions trace
Occasions 
First Middle and last  in phase
Dress up 
Dress down
Dress not at all 
Lounge and bask 
Sunshine's rays 
Full mask
Water falls pressure

Atlanta is better described these days as: A T L A N T A S E R

1. Because Rayshard Brooks was killed for being tough enough - & drunk but innocent & cooperative with cops - yet wresting the offensively deployed taser;

2. The ex-cop was...
