Walk the wooden deck
of the boat I was tied and shackled to.
Feel the sun as it reaches down to
the cotton fields I have picked, burns the ground and singes
the skin dark as the night that
calls for us all to find our freedom.
Hold the chains that weigh on my soul
and bind me to the man we are forced to call master.
Trace the scars on my back that tell
the story of how my will was broken,
stepped on and left to die in a place
only my ancestors can call their home, which I
can only describe as a long story
forgotten, and the tellers too far
gone for their words to be heard.
Look through my tired weary eyes that have
seen too many scenes of red tears, last breaths
and grave diggers to last one too many generations.
Come sit, turn on the oil lamp who is
too weak to even give off the illusion of something bright
squint your eyes and sound out the letters
connect each word, form each sentence
that read out the directions to finding our freedom.

god I stave on a daily basis and need your up lifting grave too lighten my heart. my feet feels as if concrete has been molded around them, my brain is tired.my only chance I feel I have is from your mercy and patients,.l;ove me when I am the most distressed and lift my spirits for I am poor and enslaved too a world that I feel loves me not. walk with me in my dreams at night. if you will do this then maybe I can become the angel you want me too be as I walk in human flesh.

Concrete
Self-aggrandizing words spew from my page of endless,
rather obscure metaphors and similes,
each one more labyrinthine than the last,
reeking of pretention and thesaurus over-usage,
as if by some ponderous stretch of the imagination I will be considered a vocubulary genius,
capable of putting my vast knowledge of the human soul into word form.
I am an intellectually superior bohemeth,
well versed at the intricate art of story telling through a convoluted series of opaque thoughts and ideas,
therefore rendering me exclusively original,
even,
dare I say,
profound.
I balk at the very connotation that my cogitations are anything but perfectly imperfect; my pain,
my joy,
my failures,
my victories,
my aspirations,
my tortured mind,
my vulnerable soul splashed onto a paper canvass for all the world to behold. . .
if not today,
then perhaps when I am long gone.
And all of this I keep closely guarded under the guise that my work is extremely private
and personal,
a mere tool for expressing myself in a way that I find immensely therapeutic
to my fragile sensibilites.
It is not penned in the hope that anyone would see it and interpret it in such a way as to understand their inner self more thoroughly,
but merely as a means to introspectively understand my own being.
I am a direct descendant of those who have pioneered the way for people like me,
of those who have forged the road of immortality through the written interpretation of the human spirit.
I now consider myself among the exclusive ranks of this age old fraternity,
Eternally exempt from the despair of having lived a life wraught with the very real possibility of being erased from the annals of history forever.
At long last,
I am a poet.

Agonized by gloomy sky in rainbow archway you’ll find me
Blown by desert wind, in mirage with despondent you I’ll be
Ambling alone in beach you’ll see me in golden sand’s glow
Network of my pearly lattice the waves will make to show
Drifting in the river of despair, the anchorage out of view
On murmuring ripples you’ll hear my heart’s music anew
Never in these dire states of your life I’ll ever abandon you.

When the words are right
they shall float across the vast
ocean front from day until night
Spoken in a form so unique
it make minds like ocean waves shake into the ground sink
Life poetic until death earthquake this almighty land
differentiate the word form word you never again will witness from a poetic Se7en King stand
Warrior made weapons of words
over love and hate but mainly to make young minds hurt
We flying sky high no limits yet still living like dirt
Mind's blind eye staring thoughtless you living for death believe that's the better of the worst so death living is the one true religion of Words that make you want to Convert!

War a topic we humans know too much about
From the start of time to the end of time
We have fought over things that seem to never end
Over Religion, and how someone should run something
But their are people trying to stop these wars
To only be shot down by their own military
And crushed under all its undying hate.
We try to stop wars form happening
And yet we have guns and missiles pointed at each other.
Ready to Fire once given the word form our leaders
Who send our Brothers and Sisters out to places that are unknown to them
Who promises to stop this hate
But only makes it worse like putting gasoline on fire.
Once we drop the bombs and fire the bullets.
What is left?
Nothing.
All because of War.

I Got A Spotted Kitty
My Spotted Kitty
She Is So Pretty
she sleeps with me at night
cuddled up so warm and tight
she loves without doubt
all snug and warm next to me
knows she is safe and is purring
she dreams of mice and birds in her sleep
never a sad look from her
and never a bad word form me
beyond friends and beyond love
this is what i love!

Seek silence here as stillness waits,
Let calm make clear the open gate;
Let silence speak in language plain,
Find sublime peaks that peace attains.
Seek that true heart that waits for you,
Dare then to start to know anew;
Leave all your loads and go within,
The inner road prompts joy unseen.
A still small voice renews a call,
Enter bold poise as footsteps fall;
Hear then a song that feels so good,
Your soul now longs to bring fresh food.
Heed the wise thoughts that echo pure,
This is your lot in fond touch sure;
Here time and space seem beyond sense,
Meet face to face soul's timeless tense.
Speak meaning clear beyond word form,
Joy now moves cheer in happy norms;
Here as a child with curious eyes,
Cast in the wild of inner sighs.
Sense meaning change in sacred sights,
Vivid yet strange this cosmic light;
Soul sings most free a union pact,
Love speaks to me of profound fact.
