There’s no word in our language for time,
our ships soar and take off with a chime.
Crossing galaxies at breakneck speed
this is how we get the things we need.
I have come with a message to share,
we seek any hope that you can spare.
We heard your silent call of distress,
now quell all those feelings of faithless.
Make no mistake, I am not from here.
No harm will befall you, have no fear.
In an atmosphere plagued with sadness,
a simple smile has become priceless.
You don’t need words to show you care,
just be good to each other and share.
Must instinct leave so many to bleed?
Evolve, connect, and you will be freed.
Stop giving destruction your airtime,
please go and alter this paradigm.
Night rests heavily upon my head as
daylight creeps slowly into my bed
searching for a shoulder to lean on but night kept
staring in my face lashing out at me without an embrace
The sword of time is piercing me from behind
Morning is dragging me to and fro
And I still don't know which way to go
Night comes alive and lit the promiscuous sky
Forbidden torches sprang up in the air
drawing unruly crowd far and near
Marching fearlessly through the quiet town
chanting wanton slogans all around
Traffic jam, people pushing and shoving
swirling angry words at one another
Blood runs down the narrow ally
staining the dry cracked ground
while souls are weeping underground
Bodies hang aimlessly from trees
And the clan marched vigorously down the street
with guns and sticks twisting in their hand
screaming and shouting racial slang
This rage has been welled up for years
hiding in the bushes and casting shadows
resurrecting the tyranny that has plagued the mother land
They cover their heads with white sheets and
and kneel in front of burning cross on top of the hill
America has betrayed her values
Her sons and daughters have lost their way
and indoctrinated with ideology that will soon pass away
Fear is running down their sad faces while
the group with white sheets create havoc in the streets
The Gods cannot find a place to breath
Nature is burning with heat
Black cars strolling up and down the street
Looking at the oracle on top of the hill
I am twitching and turning
And the fire is slowly burning
Morning has come and gone
And a new day is dawn
Finally I can find a quiet place to sleep.
Lovenom
Have you wondered how is that we fall in love?
Perhaps you thought a disguise blessing from above?
I say this deception is distilled with in us.
Deep with in the dark of the soul and venomous.
It’s the poison of the heart; the hemlock of the soul.
It leaves our eyes blackened; a gun powder dull.
It’s the pulse in our veins; the cadence in our blood.
It’s the oxygen overdose that floods our lungs.
It’s injected through our eyes in a moments glance
Infected like prey we'll never stand a chance.
We plagued our very hearts and minds with our own hands.
We plagued our souls and thoughts which we’ll never understand.
I’ve tried to unplug my heart and soul from this program
In attempt to see how addicted I really am.
But that only sucked the air out of my lungs
Which made me see the worst I’ve become.
Dress me up in this poisonous disease of fancy.
Before you know it I’ll be dead and you’ll be happy.
Dress me up in this permanent imperfection.
As my heart will ache for a cure to this infection.
Born into this world –
with a cord around my neck.
Wrapped around 3 times –
my cord of life brought me near death.
Funny now to think –
I’d live my life with the same battles.
Foreshadowing my future –
(fighting) with demons in the shadows.
Fighting for my life alone –
seems no one hears my screams.
The things I love so much –
most of them cause danger to me.
My lovers over time –
in their own ways felt right to me.
Just to find that each of them –
would just cause me to bleed.
Not bloodshed in some valiant way –
no, bloodshed of the weak.
Beaten, battered, broken, –
it still haunts me in my sleep.
Pushed to brutal limits –
beaten like an injured dog.
And when I finally snapped –
see, only I was in the wrong.
Friends are just the same –
whenever presented with conflict.
Nobody wants to listen –
unless there’s favorable verdicts.
Throw away the whole relationship –
For sakes of being right.
Nobody really cares –
they’ll leave me here, far out of sight.
Family is truly fleeting –
they just seem to come and go.
Even those you’re close to –
(turn) into people you don’t know.
See, I have no true safe place –
nor a happy place nor peace.
I’m plagued by suicidal thoughts –
for my mind is diseased.
Why should I want to be here –
with no purpose, with no home?
The absence of my children –
is the worst pain that I’ve known.
“Stay alive for them!” –
so many foolish people say.
But I cannot fulfill their dreams –
(they’ll hold) false hope should I stay.

Just when you think memories die
They say your life flashes before your eyes
Silent nights
Scripts of peace in a new born life
Hunger in days
Taken back less for what poverty weighs
A couple visits to I-C-U
Now as a ghost I see you
Pain inhabits reflection
My anger and aggression
Smiles and faces
child’s and different races
In my final poem
I lay it down a mercenary
Look to heaven with no commentary
Double jeopardy
A sinner plagued with leprosy
Broken jewels
In hands of an innocent man
It's going to be a little blood shed
For the faces that weren't fed
Walk as mortals on the day of the dead
Even in God's hands there’s a little bloodshed
#2 to the Motivational Series
Haunt me no more
Your words will haunt me no more
They will not close me in, I will not shut the door
I will not let them tear me down
I will heal from tears, I will not drown
I release the toxins that have plagued me my whole life
I will give you no more power in this ongoing strife
I will take the wrongful blame and toss it in the wind to cease
I will protect my inner being for positive outcome to increase
I know who I am, it is not what my child ears heard you say!
You cannot return me to that dreadful place today!
For I am free…I have found my light, my purposeful way!

*Earned Poem of the day 1/8/19
The fall of man
Can be heard outside my window.
Miles away,
Broken bones
Fractured smiles
Life’s a tidal wave with many trials.
Desolate islands dwell within
Until you allow Jesus to enter in.
Parasites,
Plagued you for quite sometime
Dulling your radiant, God given shine.
My loaner love,
The sun has set,
But, I know
I won’t have to live in regret.
The day Jesus touched you
I saw with my own two eyes
for a moment, in time ,you were truly alive.
Your heart it thrived
You felt no need to strive.
Over flowing with desire
Dreaming about a better tomorrow.
Your touch became flesh
While History lingered in the air
I danced with an angel delightfully rare.
But,
Suddenly, you turned away
The devils lie came back for its prey
The fight,
The battle,
It wore you out
You forgot what life was all about
And now you rest
In heavens arms
Safe and Whole
The Torment is gone.
For the very first time
The voids have been erased
Now you see God
face to face.

The heart of an angel
I love you....I know I will see you again
Something happens when I start rhyming
it lies within my mind plagued with unwinding
and every word displayed
seeks another filleted
from the secret muse
am I infused or just confused ?
It drives me crazy with the rhyming rush
so many words to touch then hush.
Does it ever go that with you
when every ending word is spewed
matching spell tweeking rhyme
oh my, it lingers on the tongue twined.
Help me, help me, PLEASE
before rhyming subjects me to mental disease
ever matching words floating on the breeze
the mindless cloudy seas
forever on my pen waiting release.
please help me.
Memories
The happy ones are sad
The sad ones hurt
Ones that leave doubt lingering about
Memories of pain that drives you insane
Memories.
I think of happy moments and want to go back
I try to make the best of my life
But the best times seem to only exist in the past
Sometimes memories of hate invade
I remember the words of those who hurt me
The things they said that I know weren’t true
But the feeling of betrayal still remains the same
And then there are ones I try hardest to forget
The painful memories that scar me with regret
Haunting my mind as they lurk in the shadows
Whispering images that leave me sorrow
Memories
Painful and cruel
Bringing heartache and heartbreak
Reminding you of the laughter
Replaced with disaster
Memories.
Facing my new reality can be overwhelming
I am blessed to be the mother of two sons
one of which is accomplishing great things
here on earth and the other is in heaven
I have always been proud of both of my sons,
and of course, I love them both no matter what,
but it is difficult knowing that my youngest chose
heaven instead of earth
Why is that? He was plagued by mental illness
on earth and now he is whole and at peace,
what mother wouldn't want that for their child?
Why is it causing such grief for all of us?
Because we are human, and God's ways are
sometimes hard to understand, but I am hearing him
as he tells me to "rest in me"
So, I will rest and trust and hope to eventually find peace
