We revel 75 years of Independence,
from colossal colonial rule
it was unanimous struggle
that helped us get through.
Entitled to rejoice this liberty,
but the conundrum is, Are we truly free?
Haven, ma chez
I listen
to my invisible guest
I do not speak, but wait,
then it slips away
leaving a tragic face.
I recollect merry mo;
Us: Pythias and Damon,
till he fell ill to eclipse of human reason.
Thou art still in shackles
if bound by civil perils:
ostracism, vandalism, arson
Bias and prejudice.
Had we raised voice,
his people wouldn’t have to suffer a great deal today.
Authority sits by,
Leisurely watching ruckus nearby.
All in noisy silence
Suffering place and time.
This is dedicated to my Aunt Diane who passed away on 9/16/21. you will truly be missed... I love you and rest in peace.
As I put on my crown ...
I began to smile in celebration
For all that God has given me.
A heart's love ... that beats for 55 years, my Sonny ...
that resulted
With an abundance of ...
( Damon, Tamyra, Thomas, Maurkese, and Trevon )
My diamonds, My loves, and My world's ...
"Need I go on?"
For my silhouette will always live within the wind ...
With a touch of class and Royalty ...
For I am that force of nature,
Who believes in love, respect, family,
and loyalty.
And as my crown shines
I promise to live within your timelines ...
Giving you my love and strengths of remembrance
And the key of the wise.
So as the sun shines ... I'm sitting within your hearts
As the rain falls ... That's my tears of happiness ...
And as the seasons change there's no need for feeling down ...
Because I'm forever ... "THE SILHOUETTE OF DIANE'S CROWN"
The End...
Much like thanksgiving but a celebration to the dragon king O're he's leader of dragons and dragon god" pumpkin bread of plenty is shared and Japanese food is prepared for this dragon king is new his name is Damon Foltz, the moon shines ghostly glow at night upon him amplifing his arua o're he loves the smell of Japanese burgers and loves Mexican food! Raise a glass to this new dragon God and pray for the return of summer where he can bring thunderstorms once again.
About 3 years ago
As we walked hand in hand
I told him
I feel like am living my life inside a glass
The world is out there
I see it but am not a part of it
Everything passes and I just stare.
He thought I was being poetic.
Today I want to do a quick soul search
When and how did I learn to turn it off
To turn down the volume of my soul
When did I meet my Damon
Who was my Jeremy.
...a tribute to the Red Sox, and their
victory in the the 2004 world series...
Never saying die, their courage sorely tested,
they fought so valiantly to win one more;
seemingly defeated, they always battled back
till Damon put the Yankees on the floor.
With scarcely any time to blink or catch their breath,
the Cardiac Kids were destined for St. Lou
to play a franchise known for their ability
to win by stealing bases on you too.
It was never even close to being a contest,
pitching and hitting made the Red Birds crawl.
From Foulke to Millar for the final killing,
the Red Sox are the champions of them all!
Never saying die, their courage sorely tested,

With scarcely any time to blink or even catch their breath,
the Bean Town boys were destined for St. Lou
to play a franchise known for their ability
to hit 'em deep, and steal a base or two.
It was never even close to being a contest,
we clipped their wings and made the Red Birds crawl;
from Foulke to Millar for the final killing,
our RED SOX are the CHAMPIONS of them ALL!
Are those your teeth, they look so perfect
Actually no, you won't believe my tale
Some old guy had just passed away
And his wife put his teeth up for sale
They fit really well, just like my own
So I offered her half what she was asking
For that she said you could have the bottoms
If you don't mind a little cracking
But you must do better if you want the uppers
There's loads of nostalgia in those choppers
I can still remember the fun times we had
When the two of us were teenyboppers
So I bumped up my offer a couple of dollars
I could tell she really needed the money
She reluctantly accepted with a tear in her eye
She was giving away part of her honey
So now you know the rest of the story
Keep it deep inside your cranium
Bout how I ripped off this little old lady
To look like Clooney or Damon

Everything is fading
The faces of many
The one i remember, i feel his aiding
But yet today he is still fading
My feelings have left long ago
All but one, all my sorrow
The one that keeps me alive today
Is the one that keeps fading away
There are very few who are close to me
Very few, only three
I hope they don't look down on me
I hope these three get away me
My life is but dirt
I am here for no reason
They don't know I'm hurt
I feel like my life is only a treason
Thanks Damon, Kirsten and Jaidyn for keeping me alive this far.
I'm glad you are there when i need you.
But sometimes i want you to leave me be due to the fact im afraid i will do something wrong to hurt you.
She watches "Sex in the City"
and "Jersey Shore"
She likes to get drunk
but she's not a whore
She thinks Patrick Kane is hot
but Matt Damon is hotter
She likes books and movies
called "Harry Potter"
Baked beans and a hot dog
is her favorite meal
When it comes to soccer
she shows much zeal
So what seperates her from every other girl?
Does she fly? Can she sing?
Does she dance and swirl?
What makes her different
comes down to one thing key
out of all the men
She loves me.

There was no joy in Fenway
With Damon at the plate.
Our lead was 1-0;
The game was getting late.
The Yankee star could win the game,
Short hair upon his head.
The windup and the pitch came in,
"Strike one," the umpire said.
The fans were yelling gleefully,
"A traitor," players beamed.
Mighty Johnny dug in eagerly,
"Strike two," the umpire screamed.
The boos were now resounding,
Our "hero" taking aim.
The pitch was straight and true this time,
One swing would win the game.
There now is joy in Fenway,
It's time to cheer and shout.
The swing met only harmless air,
Mighty Johnny had struck out.
Never saying die, their courage sorely tested,
