for many things have formed the who I am.

My mother was...

It seems just like yesterday not even gravity would take me off the earth
But when you took me into your arms, you changed it all

I feed on riddles...

The coldness came quickly
The darkness began to spread
Violent tongues were lashing
Evil fingers pointed at innocence

person found him rude and overbearing. We
were worried someone would...

We saw our father atop a stool
Trying to fix a plank within the grove
Too delighted we were at this move
We threw our bags and ran out

NEVER BLAME THE MAN
WHEN HE HAS YOUR BEST
INTEREST IN MIND
WHEN HE ACTS NICE
A TREATS YOU KIND
WHEN YOUR FRIENDS

YOU'LL OPEN YOUR EYES 
AND SEE
THEY'LL ARRANGE WAYS...

This was our song on the radio
When we held each other near
We danced and sang 
Kissed and swang
And caught each others tears



You held me close
I could feel your heart
Beating to the rhythm
We slid apart still...

Hexed window swing devil swang, opening for derelicts that look out a black 
and tortured sky’s howling wind, pain so great that the house creaks 
and groans, moving now and then.

Dear old swing, hanging from our back yard tree.
Well I remember those long summer days
as memories of childhood now flood me.
For hours I swang! It was more than a phase.

Quietly I sat and gazed
As the hissing winds mocked about.
The leaves silently whispered and swayed,
And together swayed with them the trees.
The birds about,flew, sang and perched.
The meadow was beautiful and green,
Painted in all flowers bright:...

   Was caught today playing with a boomerang
Later to onlookers she showed her fang 
   As she stuffed her face with banana pie meringue 

As one hand...

my swervy loveliness
my mocha skin glistening in,
the moonlight inviting you in

how silky and thick, long and slick those legs are
And that dip in...

This jazz pallete weeps with greed 
for the return of some bebop 
and crooning bleeds.
Neon flagships that lit the night
with saxophones 
and trumpets bright.
This bird bottled in country twang
is popping the cork
for some bluesy swang.
Spinning...

Could be because I became a crab;
What we really need is some rehab;
For while waited;
Was reactivated;
They found us lying on a cold slab.

Joining with my girlfriends on the playground,
Up and down in circles, we’d swing a rope.
My friends took turns. The rope swang round and round.

In those recess times that...

Summer wearing a coat
Wearing across

Humble never boast
Double shot on a toast
Eat a slow cooked roast

Attached to attention
Hungry for a ration
Fk im real you...

But the whole world was watching

A panther put with the bunch
Bound and gagged, with no lunch

A political trail they said was...
