Collected thoughts drift in recollections,
emotions that are my psyche and soul;
innermost spiritual collections.
Down the path of my life I take a stroll,
contemplating surviving each sinkhole,
in peace- I find a winged oriole.
In the quiet of nature I rest- pause,
seeking relief and spiritual calm;
nature wraps me in a protective gauze.
the solitude is like a secret balm,
in my rest I recall a favoured psalm,
with revived strength I will erase each qualm.
In awareness- I am fully awake,
mindful, enlightened, perceptive and wise;
my gathered conscious I will not forsake.
I have the knowledge to detect a guise,
have an unfathomable sense for lies,
ego moral growth will bring forth this prize.
With internal repose I am well ground,
and with thoughts and awareness surrounded.

Fourth Place
Mother: a wax crayon candle in a starless room
You have many layers, like an onion
And you're coloured, but not green
So a wax-crayon candle is favoured here.
Much more poetic.
Although I bathe in the dark
You sit in my corner
Flickering
flickering
like
this.
And you wish not intrude
In your offers of solace.
No.
You don't set my room on fire
You just light up my corner
With the gift of a place to be seen.
A place of security,
Whether I visit it or not.
AND YES, you are loved. YES, you are valued.
(so don't even doubt it)
And yes, your Crayola hues, your mix-n-match
May clash in the eyes of OTHERS
But parallel to even your Converse shoes:
They complement each other
And though I don't always visit this corner...
...Of candlelight in my room,
You should know you're not alone
With my candlelight, too.
The Last Sleep
O’ Whispering Angel see; my journey’s now at end
You have been my mainstay, my helper, and my friend.
Thanks for being my Guide, and thank you for your patience
For teaching me good ways, and showing me life’s essence.
That every time I spoke, I uttered measured sentence
And to them that did provoke, I smiled in treasured silence.
Everything I did, was done with clearest conscience
And naughty thoughts I had, were simply childhood innocence.
Love for all my neighbours, was never once pretence
Just as when you taught me - that hatred made no sense.
Learning all the time, of wisdom and intelligence
But knowing of their values - the difference: indifference.
I never saw your face, but always felt your presence
Giving me good grace and always favoured preference.
Thank you Guardian Angel, Protector of my Keep.
Now I Rest in Peace - Defender of my Sleep.
(Sung To The Song "I Will Always Love You" By Whitney Houston...From the film..The Bodyguard)...(1992)
If you do stay
You'll be tempting me to your way
In the bin you now go
I can't risk having you here everyday
Coz I will want to eat you
I will want to taste you
You
My biscuit you
Mmmmmm
Loaded with calories
And the fat thighs given to me
So goodbye
I won't cry
Plus my weight plays havoc with my knees
Coz I will want to bite you
I will want to nibble you
You
You could stay if fat free
And I lost all the weight you gave to me
And hadn't given me chin number three
I favoured you, but now set myself free
And I will always love you
Your soft chocolate goo
Your brown crumbly crumb base
Your sweet biscuit round face
Your taste that I still crave
Each small crumb I would not waste
My
Biscuit, I miss you
I'll always
I'll always want you.

As a kid I wouldn’t of thought that this is how it was,
For every feeling of giving up,
For every kick of the drum;
My heart would call my bluff.
As as a kid all I wanted was a feeling I could grow up,
Living how I want,
I wonder if that’s really enough for a slumdog to overcome.
Thought I’d waste away my lungs while I’m still young,
Could quit whenever I want,
But cigarettes still tan my skin and poison coats my tongue.
Pale face not getting favoured by the choice of lighting another puff,
Make up feelings to cover up for my blush,
Giving up feels like a pit plucked me in straight for a plunge.
They say it takes several days for you body to fully adjust,
Side effects faded too and from,
Vanilla glaze flavouring from the atomiser sent me back into the rush.
My minds too hazy from all the tobacco and the blunts,
My rhymes are getting lazy,
My speech deteriorated since I forgot my native tongue.
As a kid I dreamed of the nights after large payments,
All grown up,
Now I know how it feels sleeping right against the hard pavements.
Scribble all my thoughts,
Every now and then I form a couple rhymes that I feel are worth saving.
It’s 3 A.M. and I’m only just drifting off,
Slumdog milling across thoughts of soft sheep crossing the pavements.
Well first of you have to be black
So if your not sorry about that
I guess you're just gonna have to be believed
I know for once your not included
How does it feel not to be the centre of attention
I guess it must be hard having white privilege
Oh and also being favoured
And no I'm not joking
Anyways back to the point
Black girls listen up
So what you are gonna need to is just open your mouth
Cause they don't like that
They'll call you violent
Kicker is they hate when your also silent
And use that as an excuse to discredit us
To dismiss us
They do this intentionally
So people won't believe us
I know
How scandalous
You're also gonna have to just exist
Yeah this one's gonna be the easiest
To accomplish
Us living apparently really hurts them
So they are probably gonna do everything
To make sure our voices are ignored by everyone
Because who is society going to believe
I'll give you a hint
The ones who have privilege
Sucks don't it
Well that's how you know you're doing something right
Cause remember we don't want to be believed
I mean it really is just that easy
Because when you're black
You're automatically not believed
Hi there, it's me, the older me
I guess by now you have forgotten me
It's been a while, and our behaviour and style have improved and changed
With years and experience, we have evolved and grown
Let go and rearrange
Accept and be favoured and blessed
So much so that I can write and say, Girl, you are the best
Throughout every adversary and test
You managed to conquer and overcome each battle with strength and great determination
I cannot wait to hear your explanation
What brought us here to this divine celebration
Whereby the older me awaits the information
That is about to be my greatest achievement and aspiration
Older me by faith and hope
Knowledge and wisdom
Willingness and determination
Patient and forgiveness
Acceptance and knowing when to let go
You have made it through the new age dimension
The Awakening of the modern-day matrix system
Where both the spiritual and physical world are now one
The season of supernatural extraordinary events and sightings
Whereby nothing remains a myth
Older me, hold onto your spiritual beliefs and remember
Yah, words: no season lasts forever; this too shall pass.
your moment of concentration
has me mesmerised
I'm no longer a poet ~
just a fool with unuttered longing
this day already drew its close
but I can steady my weary gaze
settle it upon you
all but your beauty ebbs away ~
I look on with tired eyes
"lit by a match"
I'm half dreaming ~
my favoured state
and you
within arm's reach
as I drift aloft
caught between the shadows and smoke
that swirl together
one last time
