Long Realness Poems

Did I hear that wrong?

On my way for another appointment
with the vampire bleeding Quest,
big stage conversations on the radio
travel way too fast
for me to stay tuned in
to our nesty mess
at my normal liberal-conserving pace.

When I was a girl, still on the island
I’d sit in the sand
and brood
and revel
in what I thought was utter enlightenment
a teenage rebel
with dime-store refinement
We were all this way, and there is no shame
In the...

I Held Mary’s Hand 

I held Mary’s hand as John covered his face,
So still,
At Peace,
Faded are the slapping sounds of the whip against his flesh,
Gone now are the shrieks as his crown was pegged into...

It's deeper than chemistry
We're connected
By our hearts,  by spirit,  mentally
Your mistakes caused pain
But couldn't replace what we have
I said I wouldn't but I forgive you
You're wonderous
Can't be mad at you
Wouldn't dare go against...

Just let go! Let it flow! Let it flow! Let it flow!
Everything’s gonna work out right you know.

Poetry is my photographer's way of taking a picture,
my way of capturing the moments our hearts envelope
and need to express. It's a snap shot
of the before, in between and after seen now...

There was a absurd world we called it planet earth
The poor people in the dirt, and the rich that didn't work
What's even worse, is I don't even see our worth
Is it...

Man you look so good with your
Jeans and your green jacket

Your short brown hair, and...

My soul crys out for the love denied and  secrets untold,
Awaiting in solitude these chains of loneliness in bondage they hold,
My heart great how it aches in a constant agony, 
Regretted yesterdays still haunt...

Where water searches for soul
It loves the weakened shore 
To leave it's purpose so smooth and stark
To feint attack on shapes in the dark
A thin carved edge  
Infinite breathing 
Pushing and pulling
Golden alabaster hue...

Where the floor meets the wall,
She stands in her usual spot,
Craving a cigarette,
Observing, processing, psycho-analyzing,
Another Saturday night with her friends.

Their forced civilized exchange of small talk, 
Boasting, intellectual competitions and back handed compliments
Vainly covers the...

Somewhere in the fight
Like the 1, 2 punch
the 3 and the 4 punch
I throw out the old, the bad, the ugly, a right left combo
jab into your rib cage, right side
You're unfazed
We fight to the...

The best rapper dead or alive,
Only three days,
Before my 18th birthday,
He died.
He came here with the realness
All people could feel his:
Strength, knowledge,
Love for the community,
Multiple intelligences, and
His outright hate for negligence.

He had the true requirements...

Finger-tip power. 

Galloping into a world of finger tip power were we no longer admire the beauty of flower, 
We care more to acquire the excessive power— that same power that effaced those towers.
