That's What They SayThey say...
Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?
When it rains it pours...

Or walk hard and carry a small pistol.
You play the cards you're dealt...
And there's a lot of...

My Pretty Little Red RoseAll roads they say lead to Rome
But this one was leading towards home
A fiery storm brewing in fractions
Ripples surge to thirstily kiss the river’s mouth for reactions
The hubbub silenced with an inner raspy roar!
This scenic drive, a famished lovers’ galore
Latched securely and songful on the...

America, the Age of ConflictAmerica, the land of the free, catering to the wealthy and pushing the poor.
Blacks are all but exempt; they are seen as property and nothing more.
California brought into this nation by gold, as a false equality,
Demanded by some to spread the systems of vast irrationality.
Extradition...

It only matters why and what for.

Tomorrow will be late,
Today I have no time.

The Beast WithinWas I born this way?
Or was it the one day I don’t remember?
All I know is, is that I have the urge to
But not limited, to attack!
This doesn’t just happen three days out of the month
But all the time when I see Him...

The GhostThe Ghost
She creeps in and out on the brink of consciousness
Slowly making her way to my bed side
I roll over never feeling her touch, lost in my own,
She lays by my side
She touches my forehead and my brows begin to furrow
Dreams are coming...

Our Back PorchOn the side of the house, in the shade,
off from the back of the kitchen.
Our small porch was tailor made,
for making our play day decisions.
Skin-the-cat on the black pipe railing,
eating fresh picked pears to our fill.
Homemade pies set out for cooling,
showing off our stair jumping...

many lives were claimed
seeking to destroy the terrorist
with eye for an eye
the whole world blind
to the fact that those dieing in their communities
are not to blame
the children and housewives
did not drop the bombs on your families
a group of individuals out...

Subtle Pulsating Spacesubtle pulsating space,
get your finger out of my face,
shimmering dimness and the light in between,
he appeared quickly but did not go fast
I knew too well a spell had fell,
Putin I'm not disputin', Trump I got over the hump of you,
Musk you have an elephant's tusk,...
