Best Untangles Poems

When the Goddess of aroma
graces my caffeinated soul, 
her milky quartz crown 
                     shines in shades 
        ...

suckled into gentle sleep 
   softness
 finessed
      understood 
waves lap
        cares drift
 seaweed untangles 
     lets us be 
   each grain of sand fits together

Blackberry Memoir 

Blackberries, round and glossy,
Always invite me to return
To dusty country summer afternoons
When languid waves of mirages
Puddle into shimmering hiatus.

From the gently swaying hammock
I hear the rattle of berry pails
To see my grandmother, in her straw hat,
Smile an invitation - come with her
Into the...

I am a nature addict
and I see people laugh at it...
 
When I ponder about the future,
or gotta handle the torture,
I look deep into nature
and she is my wound's suture
 
When I encounter persistent failures,
and when my heart mourns like a wailer,
I lean on the...

She sorts me in parts
From one side to other.
I am symmetrical and asymmetrical.

I am closest to her brain
I swing around her freely.

I take a leap and kiss her cheeks
She tucks me back behind her ears
Adamantly, i repeat. She repeats.

I am tired
I rest on her shoulders.

I...

ain't it a shame

when hate lynches 
a 14 year old Colored boy
in 1955 Mississippi
and blows away the dreams of
four innocent little ***** girls 
in 1963 Birmingham, Alabama

yeah 
bus that to your segregated thoughts
as I interracially walk you 
through Little Rock, Arkansas
with Daisy Bates & nine...

the morning groans as she untangles from the covers
worn and blunt
from the night before

her eyes puffed and wrinkled, wrinkled and blink
winking with bleary sting.  mustard gas
sinking
swallowing in the hollows
choking the cities yellow
choking the grass grown over
grave row
choking the green grass
brown
burying the noble and their...

The best thing you can do about a suicide is understanding it.

The boy opens the door and walks by his mom
his mom says "how was school"
He doesnt respond 
he walks silently to his room
His mom turns away in sadness
"its dinner time Ory" she yells up...

Rising from oblivion,
Sol sears the fringes of night.
And gilds the edge of the Earth,
with His chariot ablaze.

Searing tongues of crimson flame
lick a scarlet horizon.
And the shadows of darkness
disperse with the birth of dawn.

A star-studded ebony
morphs into a sky of blue.
And the cotton-candy clouds
acquire a light...

When night falls and stumbles into slumber
                            reshuffles memories and tumbles crumbles
      ...

The sun, going about her daily chores, 
glimpses a new star in the sky, 
one smaller than herself, 
yet strangely familiar.

Used to catching her image first in puddles, 
then growing larger in lakes, 
she at first only sees a stranger, 
then catches herself 

spread in...

Ombre
I miss you in the most strangest of ways…like a faraway song…

like lyrics of a folklore….

….an Indian tale around a fire ring

like a dark deep forest which I have always passed by, never lingering

I miss you like the sound of a waterfall

Like a dream that...

Eyes untangles the twining nodes of your blouse
 Exposing nectar factories that taunt naughty minds 
As their mouths leak the righteous nudity of their oblongata 
Their hands stay restless while their nostrils sniff your underwear

 Pseudopodia protrudes between your two legs 
As rain shadows form...

I Will Learn To Unlearn Loving You

I will learn to unlearn loving you
		if forgetting you will 
stop me from loving you, 

like breathing in without breathing out, 
		I'll count the days with you 
and uncount them without you. 

My mind untangles the tendrils of my...

A house consists of walls and a ceiling
A home represents an innate feeling 
A house is made of bricks and beams
A home is made of hopes and dreams

A house is where we come and go
A home is where the minds grow 
A home is never...
