Long Made me who i am Poems

When you came to me...

Not that you wanted me.  Oh, no!  It was I who wanted you,
Your comfort... your caring... your
... compassion, your compassion...
Your body, beautiful and young, perhaps that as well at...

Frankly bewildered…
I find life so absurd

Ask me– how it is that I am brought here?
Stepping out of church, bothering no one,
I was of a serene and peaceful mind–
When of a...

When God Speaks...

When God speaks... do you listen?
or, do you say
How can you speak when you don't exist?
I don't understand you...

that you don't exist...right?

My denial of your existence now
obligates you, to not...

Mama….it’s today
The chalendar shouts it
Today
15 years ago..you breathed your last
and I still see you in dreams
and I still miss you, Mama

to see your smile...

There's a whirlwind inside 
Of my head
I'm like bread 
Without butter 
But instead, 
I am like no other
There's a monsoon inside
Of my wandering mindset
I'm like a young child 
That gets extremely upset
I'm far from mild…
I'm...

surprising it was, that's all it took

The uncertainty washed away with just one...

As I write this, I start feeling emotional.
It was something that happened to me that
I will never forget.
  Growing up in the inner city in a part of

God meant well
But, when he created heaven, he also created hell.
When he created Jesus, his brother, The Devil fell.
Like a jilted fly in the sacred ointment
Every day since has been his long day of atonement.

At times you made me laugh,
Most of the time you made me cry,
At times you made me feel,
As if i were to die,
I didn't want to cope with what was happening with me,

I thought you...

“It’s in there!” 
The frizzy haired woman insisted with mirth in her eye.
“But, how?”
I asked beseechingly.
She gave a mischievous laugh from impish lips in reply 
And then skipped merrily on her way.
The most precious thing...

My poems are words with soul - Silent One.

 As a monotone morning sketches 
charcoal trees under 
smoke filled foggy skies,
rain casually falls,
sliding down slate roofs,
causing havoc for traffic
on bustling roads.
Red lights seem to shimmer,

I was remembering my father,
just the other day.
It’s been a lotta years,
since Daddy passed away.

My name is not important.
My fathers name was Jim.
He never called me by my name!
I was always Butch to him!

Fishing was...

I am part of the chaos that once found me, intricately woven together,
Each fragment of the soul with which I had the chance to communicate,
Every skin I touched randomly carried by dreams,
All of these have...
