Long Personalized Poems

Despite the day-to-day signs of man’s bitter degradation, there were many in the South who somehow still failed to see the endless pain of segregation. From the viewpoint of those who never lived there as...

LOVE Of Our Life

Life’s journey swim links 2 defined moments - birth & death.
To survive its stretch we swim different strokes,
Delivered inner strength combats heavy tides & puncture pokes,
Hidden forces compatibly energize different folks,
Fortifying for...

She took some care making her choice
A Valentine's Day card
It is a silly little thing
"It shouldn't be this hard"

But she still feels indecision
Selecting the right one
To set the proper tone for them
"With just a touch...

CLOUTS OF RELATIONS:
Wooo...lets go... 
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... .
Aha... Ahaaaahaa...yeah
VERSE 1:
Who expected what today's brought,
That love would be sold?
Mine was given freely and not bought,
With a heart more than gold;
Can't explain its expensive thoughts.
Perhaps yours...

When you and your wife visited,
you shared a question asked by a pastor
of a raped
and thereby pregnant
vulnerably young and questioning parishioner.

"If your unborn child survived
his first year
and walked back into your home
do you think you...

I think I recall
way back in balmier lemon-delivery days,
which already feel Golden Ruled
and Ratioed
and Elixired
by comparison,
when the Affordable Care Act
was referred to as the Democrat Agenda
for universal health care,
and Paris signatures
were discussed,
even polemically,
as the Democratic...

infatuation for her is undeniable… So the 
best way to describe her… is simply 
undescribable… So in order for me myself 
and I to rest peacefully… I have to have...

I'm thankful for the stepping stones
That lead me to solid ground.
I’m not ashamed
To go from a life of insanity
To a mind that is sound.
But, I will say
Trial and error
At first
Is mostly what I found.
I discovered...

Whenever you feel lost
Or when you feel to reset
To look back and feel refreshed
Click the “Home” key
It’ll open the door to inner prosperity
A heart filled with joy
For there’s no place like home

When you feel like...

a flustered tango of Gypsy moths 
drumming the porchlight; chalk artists; 
the endemic disappearance of farms—silos lost 
in unkempt fields;  space stations; the sunlit-scent of lemon 
oil on cherry wood; birth; the chasm between...

Sand in sheets
scuffing skin and reminding 
last nights attire reaks like bonfire
 a hundred days like this

I scribbled quickly
As they wrote their final exam
Little notes of appreciation
A special individualized message
Thanking each student
For having been in my class
And for bringing me joy
Reminding each one
Of the potential that lies within
For each is a...

Biochemistry—the chemistry of life’s design,
Where molecules dance, interlink, and align,
A bridge between cells, atoms, and earth,
Defining each process, from death to birth.
From cells to tissues, to systems whole,
Biochemistry reveals life’s molecular role.

Atoms join with bonds...

Breathe words.

They are the essence of life. Communication is universal and language is key.

Every word is powerful, and any utterance, no matter how small, has the power to wound, empower, enlighten, convict, condemn, control, sway,...

RightBrain culture
absorbs and heals
LeftBrain monoculturalism,
capitalism's win/lose unholy market-structured days
and commodified aggressive nights
pursuing lose/lose fear v anger competitions.

RightBrain multicultural invitations
whisper nutritional health climates
longing for explicit win/win language
to express belongings inside climates
of nature/spirit co-opportunities.

RightBrain polyculture
resists militarized punishing...

It put up a stubborn  fight 
But two...

The dial-up whine, a familiar slow embrace, 
Connecting to a world in a digital space. 
And there it was, that friendly, teal-tinged hue, 
Friendster calling, "Come and join our crew."

Remember profiles crafted with such care,...

days when I was still trying to figure out who

Sky blue eyes looking
past the bounty of pork rinds
past boundless skylines
stare blankly for way too long
then to the menu
cradled in his plastic hands.

required by government

photographed in black and white

Mapping my final ride to the other side
Oh how I want to feel like I have arrived
