Long Chrystal Poems

« Porto-Vecchio », song by Julien Doré

(Note : If there’s a melody that can slither/sail past the ear-drums imperceptibly and settle permanently in the hypothalamus, this’s it. The sustained tempo in a low key and...

Where do I start, this tale from my heart
of a horse that came to me.
Aged and worn, a spirit torn
I fear this will not end happily.

He is old, is what I was told
Too few days...

The more popular path is a wider,
more windy one. A bend here,a 
nook there, surreal images to entice 
everyone.And it's all about havin' so much fun.

You weave through a forest of barren trees,
having already dropped...

Adjusting Appetizing Palates.
I have sampled the variety,
I am the one who has tasted life;
The one who has had a taste of life.
Rarely indulged in the main course-
Seldom a full meal-
I come hungry-
To leave satisfied...
I want...

I had never lead a good life
Grief and despair always followed me and eloped me in its tightening embrace
Surrounded in a storybook world, i was bound for the optimal role
The role to which my mother,...

Yo,
When I was younger, stronger, faster, phatter!
I saw Bayard Rustin, ascending and descending on bell hooks’ reveries,
And I screamed, from artistic insights,
Of plights and rights, citing Mumia Abu the Baptist,
“MOVING” SOULS to awakening, writing like...

Android Embedded Chrystal Blue

In the corner of the galaxy dead in front of night
Just left of the quasars charted long ago
A logic being called 732 thought out and calculated
Waited for the proper landing on the...

A cosmic parade today fell from the starry sky
As nations lined up to watch it all pass by

Beauty to behold, a bit hard to believe
Paraded down all the worlds cities streets

Chrystal spears of every color...

 Oh, hear the rattle of the rolling train;
yhe clap…clap…clacking rhythm,
beating like a conga drum;
every trip it sings along, 
with the tracks repeating song; 
such simple, inexpensive music.

Listen to that music,
of the heart-beat, of the...

Guess she  got tore up when we

And after two nights in Vagas I know she'll
coming running back begging for a new  start.

And whats he got that I dont.

Quickened Pace
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the day rapidly approaching
a rapture of which there shall be no more…
of parasitic encroaching
the minds of men
bent on sin…
“Love wins!”

I have read 
from beginning to end
the books of many men’s sins
Their concepts galore,...

I have a mystic light inside,
A light that I try to hide
A light that no one is allowed to see
It is the spiritual side of me.
If you saw me in the street
And if by chance...

In a small dining room enclosed by three walls, a setting for two. Two candles across from each other lit cast shadows on the ceiling above the crystal chandelier. The round maple table- mirrors and...

Sailing with you..
On a sailboat so far away from home..
Chrystal clear blue sea..
Sunrays streaming through the clouds..
Onto the two of us..
Tis the sea..
Tis only the two of us..

Spectacular blue skies with a hue of pink..
Surrounded...

The traffic's roaring
The dog is snoring
The children are screaming out loud
The atmosphere's ringing
with crying and singing
and noise from the growing crowd

Six billion people all in one place
Six billion people sharing space
All of us raving -

She’s still; an interlude in solitude.
Twilight mournful, his voice ghostly distant,
introspection.., meditation imbued,
she sits alone, bitter-sweet existent.

Lamentations she weeps in glissando.
Cacophony!  Consciously in discord,
love reminisce, arpeggio tempo,
she sits alone, remembrance, two-edged sword.

Bethought bliss, wedded...

 Her beautiful colors every where, every place

Look at the grass, the flowers and trees There is bright vibrant colors in all of these

"Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses"
- Confucius

With the flowing stream of my being, tributaries join
Chrystal clear or coal like black, I embrace them all gladly.
Each atom of my existence has been the widow's coin.

Swirling mists obscured the scene; 
occulting awaited revelations.

In the clearing, 
the future played out its scenes one by one, 
on Chrystal walls, 
like a painting on a canvas.

He interpreted each image in a factual way,...

Try her once try her twice

She's got you now to have and to hold
till death do you part

She gave you that rush

I taught him of great and little of good
My habits gave an illusion of wealth
This parenting thing, I misunderstood
And Now I'm kicking myself

A dollar here, a twenty there
To pacify a momentary itch
And now it's become...

Chrystal Clear



I never thought I would be here
For any instance existing
What I have to do is Chrystal clear
Still, I keep resisting
It’s easier to disappear
Yet my absence doesn’t make me missing
When I’m lost, I’m found
When I...

Broken Glass 

Bits of color...
washed up on the beach. 
Items that tell stories, 
about faraway places, 
new people, and old. 

Red like roses, fine wine in winter... 
Yellow like the flowers in spring. 
Blue, the...
