MY SPECIAL WOMANIf not for my mother
I would have been in jail
She cool me down
Everytime them give me hate
She makes me eat
Even when I don't earn
Steadily supplying all I need.
The things
I lack
Are the things
I never asked from her
She's always giving
Unconditionally
Without seizing
She gives all she has for nothing.
None like a mother

Poisoned sheepThey claimed this world, Its not
what it seems to be.
So it started to unravel,
bursting at the seams.
So I lied in a wake.
Unable to slip away.
So I'm begging you now
go back to sleep.
counting your stars
while they poison
your sheep.
Once the wave is set
it's doomed to repeat.
Thats where they linger
hidden within your dreams.
Just waiting for...

Hire The Hood 1Hire the Hood 1
I know you want to hire the hood.
To give them work, like you said you would.
To lift them up, and make life good,
To see success spread through the neighborhood.
But hire those with drive and skill,
With passion, purpose, and iron will.
People who can play their part,
With sharp minds and loyal hearts.
They must align...

What Do We Love AboutWhat do we love about,
Is it for good words,
Maybe beautiful eyes.
Or a beautiful face.
Or we love for our deeds,
A love deeds as specific
So this drives us to love.
Entering the path of love,
Slowly breaking into blood
We're following a fine thread
Because life is only one,
We give it to someone special,
We love despite dream and reality.
We love...

As we metamorphose“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed” - Anonymous
We lead a life that we can look back and be proud of
striving to be the best that we can be
as we let the future take its course
We accept the...

My Town: Columbus, MississippiMy town is a very friendly city,
Filled with great music and attractive art.
Long, dirt roads surrounded with great Pine Trees
An incredible Air Force base with planes,
that soar above the small town I call home.
Peaceful rivers where most go in summer.
Tasty southern meals at every table,
Worshiping churches everywhere you go,
Historic culture all...

LillianSome people leave in storms
With their last words being harshest
Some people don't have to say a thing
You know you've already lost them
In fact they intentionally say nothing
They go out like a ghost
I wish I could've stayed but it's not my fault
You chose what you stood against
You lost the war to evil
You stood against smoke and...

A Memory We All BecomeLife has nothing to do with every chapter
The book pages you scan and read
The waves on the shore that breaks
You both see them and witness
It's never ending story everyday
Death is synonymous word with passing
You may have all the things in life
After all what you have experience
The things you have will remain as it is
When your...

Life Is A PlaneLife is like a plane
It can drove in the land
But to prove it is plane
It will fly in the sky
Roam as it destine to go
Once it landed it rest
Prove again next time
Fly again until one day
If mechanical failure
It will be check and tend
Till decommission to retire
By an authorized agent....

Non negotiable
a line drawn in the sand of time
plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye
curled edge of what’s real what’s not
that line that never should be crossed
plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye
things we’ll forgive but not forget
built an imaginary fence
washed away by tides yet lingers
curled edge of what’s real what’s not
distinguishing what’s...

The Fractured PoemThey say the hardest shells hide the softest centers,
That diamonds form under pressure,
That the most beautiful songs are written in the dark.
I believe them.
I have seen mountains crumble into valleys
And valleys rise to touch the sky.
I have watched oceans retreat from shorelines
Only to come crashing back with renewed purpose.
Listen—
There is a thunderstorm inside my chest
Where...

Collateral Damage
I come with cracks you can't see at first—
Hairline fractures from love turned curse.
Each “I love you” I gave was a losing bet,
Now I cash out in shame and cigarette.
I’m broke—not just wallet, but soul and pride,
A man half-standing with nowhere to hide.
I lean too hard on the one still near,
Drowning in love, suffocating with...

The Gift of Your HeartThe most precious things in life can be
things that are not so obvious to see.
Diamonds, emeralds, or even gold
can always be bought or even sold.
People to me are worth much more
because they cannot be bought online or in a store.
People can change your life
even when you’re confused and have strife.
So,...
