Long Home is where the heart is Poems

They say...

Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?

When it rains it pours...
Usually the day after I wash my truck.

Walk softly and carry a big stick...
Or walk hard and carry a small...

You were the free-standing house, I was the fist that ripped the power line in half 
You’re the ouija board to my spirits of the past,
You keep...

“Light Winged”




fluid I freely flow
nacreous and immersed
beyond naology  

I am far removed
from the numbers
and rites

of your 
hard-edged, 
strange world

stretch deeper and higher
than millennia here

I Am 
an ancient soul

as if she were only walking slowly the opposite direction as the cord...

We perched atop the corral, 
   as he read the men and horses, 
And he told me about common sense 
   and it’s amazing, magical forces. 
 
We watched the men...

Its been a show of force since my ancestors first swam over the umbilical.
A strain of Loathing rings in our ears, A dog-whistle held by my personal demon, it's engraved with my name.

Away for Too Long by Kenny Davis

I was surprised she said she missed me
Expressed when she ran up to me and kissed me
I told her that, “I couldn’t wait to see you!”
About just how much...

My New Poem, Raw and Uncut
Oh What a day
Oh What a day when black people stop pray 
Pause and realize where their horizon lay
Where the pastures are green, yet remains unseen,
What a day when we...

They say home is where the heart is but for me that isn’t true
Because my heart is out there somewhere,
Riding along with you…… 
When you’re gone.

Well every now and then you’re on the road again
But...

The sun has gone down and it's not hot anymore.

For years he witnessed our spirit connecting
Through the eyes of love he saw our future 
Sadly he couldn't share...

In 1914 those aged between 18 and 55,

"Home is Where the Heart Is"



Savages 
behind closed doors
Civilised 
but wild animals
sharpening claws
Humanity 
tries to escape itself

Now opening windows 
fresh air 
escaping shadows
Legs splayed and arms wide
breathe
"LIFE"
in for...

You wear a badge honor,
Your heart is filled with courage;
You have rings around your color;
No one would ever know that;

He’s homeless, I’m homeless not hope less;
Jesus is not home and I’m not alone
