For the Haven’s advancement,
the Elite may extend a courteous backhand,
or a fist wrapped with opinion
that some may mistake for abuse.

head first into a cauldron of pride,
now her feeble corpse twitches
trying to vomit the blackest pitch...Read More

Papa's condemnation of prejudice...

and subsequent grim statistic one
(among millions, or more)
tragedy with feted kiss
Yarraka Bayles darling son
hoop fully experiences bliss,
yet more vehement rage
against machinations (think 

with little effort cruel humans)
trumpets, tools, thrives...
wreaking psychological havoc -
case in point yours truly
wrenched, screwed,...Read More

Here I am again,
It’s spring in my little hometown,

And you let me in
To your mama’s dream 
Of a house 
 And somehow....
It felt like home,

In acceptance 
Of our fleeting reunion,

Where you gave me a minute,
Your once...Read More

When you are called to be a mom and have a baby shower
The little lad that grows within will be your very first
And on the day that he is born your heart will...Read More

Detectives solving crimes
Flashing their badges
Canvassing neighborhoods
Questioning potential witnesses
Explaining the forensics

Showing us how to taint a crime scene
Explaining blood spatter patterns
I sit in my chair trying to outguess them
Feeling smug, proud of myself,
Professional Lazy-boy detective.

Someone whom you could open the closet to and unveil the skeletons that you have been hiding
Someone who you could connect to soul to soul
Someone who would never get enough...Read More

When I was young my mother's hand
Led me through a joyful land
Where neither war nor hate exist
Nor something more I must resist 

Where nothing but the night is black
And black is never dark for lack
Of something bright or greater light
But...Read More

And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain

You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to...Read More

Deep in his heart had urgent need to go just one last time,
To place where he grew up; would childhood memories rebound?
Went with fear and misgivings; was he wise or asinine?
Step after step, he strolled over boyhood holy ground.

His old...Read More

Got him all he ever needed
A happy home life

And a decent job with a top firm
But there was something...Read More

It was a Friday evening.
She looked at him.
She saw his slouching.
She saw the lay-z-boy bones.
She thought of the man she once knew,
now he is more chair than man,
and filled with kapok.

What? He said, sensing her look.

She forces a smile, "nothing".
She...Read More

He awoke with a start; it’s time! The voice said
This rarely happened, but when it did he knew what he had to do
He flew to the road where he lost his earth life.
Just in time to see the cars slip...Read More

David’s Song

Little one, I have watched you growing;
Seen the joy of life stolen from your very soul;
Seen the wonder of your world disappear into a haze
Just beyond the reach of your hand,

Little one, still your feet would fly
To the sun...Read More

So brainy, special, and unique
Nobody can compete you

She was lost in her own eyes
Bang!! From no where a stone strike the mirror 
Shattering it into many pieces...Read More

Teeter totter

This is my voice, writing from within too without
For a long time, I wasn't listening to my soul.
I was wearing shoes to protect 
From the stones and the mud and the bugs in the grass.
I was afraid of feeling...Read More

Lincoln was a white man of his time. He wasn't as bad as the majority,
north or south, but he was undoubtedly a white supremecist.
I'm white, but if I were black there's no way he'd cut the mustard
as a pin-up boy...Read More
