The ploy, a real achievement in the West-Indian settlements.
In Rome, bodies were paraded along the byways, 
to make a statement. 
My Massa used ropes.
We dangled by our necks like...

Here i sit on the loveseat
Which is my writing place
Slash and the computer
I sit in stillness and ponder
Which seems like long hours
Wondering what poetry form
I will create next yet 
No idea comes to mind
So I sleep on it all night
The Ghost writer speaks 

She gives...

The workings of the hidden world
By the poet are revealed
The heart’s untangled in a verse
The secrets are unsealed
The poet paints a picture 
In timeless light it glows
The beauty of the language
Is captured yet it flows
He’s expressing hidden feelings
And the value in all things

With pen and paper
I'm ready to write
With my ideas
To form on paper

I am creating 
my own poetry
Words flow on the page
So quickly I see

Re-writing must be done
Over and over

Until I am pleased
Then I would mail it 
To one of...

Talk to me
Set your thoughts free
Find in me your peace
Know I am discreet

Creating a beautiful unity
Faithful and filled with glee
Planted like green seed
Romantic and...

If you don't covet where you live, my friend,
Imagine a fitter home, a place to mend,
A sanctuary where dreams come alive,

Picture walls that tell stories, so grand,
Of triumphs and adventures, hand in hand,
Each brick whispered...

I take it him down to Louisiana
those long forgotten day I couldn't live without
the days of heat and passion hidden in the sun
barely enough time to do what we wanted

Oh those days that summer in moonlight
when love was my only gift that came from inside

Painting myself into a corner; 
I wrote a poem.
Writing myself, into a corner; 
I created a painting.
That is the paradox of me, you see;
I create, so that I may create!

Only when lions have historians
will hunters cease being heroes
we are one nation, one family, indivisible 
for us, divorce or separation are not options

Though blacks first stepped foot in the Americas, in 1518
racial barriers broken, time passes,but love endures
racial rifts, tearing at the heart of America

** A Poetry Avalanche **

Goodness! Lord!
I’m on a roll this morning!
The poetry keeps coming —
  nearly torturing!
My keypad arm and fingers are

   retreating
From the inspirations...
