When Love Breaks Me FreeWalls I built, a fortress of my own,
Crumbled by affection, a love yet unknown.

Tears that once were prisons, now cleansing rain,
Washing...

Spring's TeaseThere's an earthiness to each scented breeze
and a warm caress in the Sun's embrace,
unveiling the telltale signs of Spring's tease.

From Harlem To HeavenFrom Harlem's pulse, a symphony untold,
Stories etched in a brownstone, dreams unfold.
Streetlamps pierce the twilight, jazz ignites,
Hope flickers, a flame against the nights.
Laughter rings on stoops where neighbors meet,
Gospel choirs rise, voices strong and sweet.

dancing in the breeze; she swirls in the air.
And it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen

The Red Cloak of MarsOn crimson sands, beneath a rusty sky,
A figure walks, and a cloak of fireflies high.
The Red Cloak of Mars, a legend whispered low,
Through canyons vast, where ancient secrets flow.
