Long Black book Poems

I wondered how that I could be a child of the King.
A long lost soul, I had no goal, but to maybe act and sing.
I believed in Jesus, a man of love,
But scared to death...

(Thinks) I Float like a Butterfly and sting like a tazer.
Mouth of the South, but my lips don't say (intelligent)

Super stud 
Enjoyed life with many lovely buds

An old stone built tower stands above all on the skyline;
The curves of its body twisting spiral’s in the air.
The moon shines around its peak, which reaches up so very high.
It is surrounded by a...

Only on his palm were cowries
And thread-cloaked bullhorn found.
Only on his neck we found 
The  coral beads of truth and courage.
Only on  his hands lies the

Emblem of  Pedantry.
Only...

Hot as hell, emotions fire the flames, 
Nervous about meeting doctors, nurses, 
Curtain separates them from congregation,
The veil is not torn in two, but steamy adulation, 
Courts their friendship sessions to distance, 
Bible fanatic from...

Do you remember when you told me that story
of all the Planets in the sky and how they all
had different jobs and had different people they
were in charge of?

I've just tasted the politics of the land
with the same tongue
that yesterday chanted political slogans
for a diseased bunch of shenanigans
driving the political wagon with an expired license,
I don't care if the first lady of Graceland,

So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors
Juxtapose
Yet, I am no artist

But dreams allowed an escape of reality, whenever she felt sad
Nobody special, lost in a fantasy world
Simple and thoughtful, yet no ordinary girl.

Her parents died when...

Black Lilly:

The red sun sets as the crystal moon rises over the vast country side. Stars above glisten with perfection in bright arrays as the earth below them silently moves.

Trash a Godless life
Refrain from eating the fruit of strife
By building dungeons and prisons with the tongue
Knowing the power there, where with every utter
Can subjugate the spirit and mind to the pits
The gutter where filth...

I arrived home late in the morning
I looked at the watch

There are only so many times you can go to a dry well,
Begging for water when you are dying of thirst.

No thoughts can be...

Let's shed some light on what's truly good.

Financial success on the bottom line, shines bright.

But no less than the material made of

He repeats the same different song
In bland and blithered platitudes
