These devils in my mind and hands…got so damn out of hand

Dripping soap and water on my pigmentation...

Let me be…my luck is long gone…
You hurt my heart…and torn it to shreds…

Politesse pleases me...
thank you very much
for letting me clutch
your attention courtesy
sharing following thoughts
thru reading my poem analogous 
to invisible electronic, 
fantastic, kinetic... touch.

Manners work like a charm
equivalent to abracadabra to disarm
truculent nasty shortish brutes
who thrive...

A babe suffering during while
A Mother who wanted her son to die

The told us to hate all people
who were born with real pale skin,
as if lacking pigmentation

Tranquility-bound
Angst and regret drains...

Free my people from the chains that confine us
From the constant humiliation
And hurtful ways that blight us
Demeaning in purpose
Senseless in intent
Put down your tools of discord and relent
Bring us peace and harmony
And not the constant...

Cosmic dust of color, spread across the marble table,
where you, with sacred grace, draw esoteric circles,
watching me as I prepare the canvas for painting,
laughing softly, slipping your powdered finger into my ear,
like a secret sign...

Three hours suppressed before breaching the tight-lipped 
container left neatly wrapped in homogenous foam 
and smoky demeanor. Its lid caved in, having been tapped.

Through misspoken holes sprung arcadian visions, 
lacking Peloponnese disposition, still semi-smoldering 
with...

She slipped clumsily in a 
café
Looked all around her
from the corner of her 
eye
Felt all eyes upon her
Bit her lip
and flushed crimson 
disconcertedly.

He was sacked, literally 
fired
Got down in the dumps
Was down and out
and was...

Why ? 
White, what's right and or wrong with it
Is it pure, is it natural
Supremely bred, seldom lead
White, what's right and or wrong with it
White is the light that flashes before our eyes
White is a...

Without a word - you speak to me through particles of pigmentation
For centuries held within the grip of linseed oil
Where now I gaze upon  the many faces that you wore
And their beauty shakes ...

Poetry…
It's not just a verbal composition;
It's a combination of emotions and verbalization.
It's an expression.
Compressed in a section of our mental institution;
That then brings fort to life
What we know now as a conversation.
It's our way of...

A sunbaked pile of dead sticks in the ground
I’m a divine oversight, it would seem
Hundreds of long spines poke out all around
Yet inside resides a colorful dream

I’m a divine oversight, it would seem
Look past my...

You are loathed
Since you were cursed 
While you destroy the gains,

Taking us back to stone age
A verse that witnessed unprecedented slavery
An act which placed a yoke of hardship on our generation
And viewed...

And now hell we bring to those who deserve it not
And this fight...

crunch beneath booted feet.
