One On One Poems


One on one with my father

#One_on_one_with_my_father
Expectations and reactions fusses my here and now mental and emotional state, like two giants bloating my tinny inner self, the fighting is real, pity I was never taught how to react. I try to control myself, so to not display the anger and excitement concoction brewing inside me

But my eyes chose to leak, these

One On One With God

The spirit of God is in the words to make generally known
Of the mind that touch the heart to express and proclaim
The mystery and to establish the existence of words;
Widely, deeply, expressible, alive, powerful and remarkable.

I seat, I stand, and think, I views the life deeply in its own
Specific time. "Where my life comes from?

Love don't stop.
Love's on top.
Under  my skin 
I'm breathing in

I need you
I know you need me too
That's a sincere appeal
Screams are applied

Dime on time 
Let's  dine
Time the line 
Infectious rhyme and kind

Not in jest  my love 
The top of the  heap  of
Peaches and cream
Matter of fact this is

A little of

One On One…

A peculiar similarity between 
you and me;
I born a slave being;
you , seemingly free.

My father toiled in bondage;
yours to serve and protect the same;
mine lived and died in disguised rage;
yours lived and died in unfretted—denied shame.

Strange fruits of the same human tree
are you and me.  We
searching the blood soaked rooted key
the door

One On One

Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh played ball
at the old schoolyard next to my friend’s house
after they were done only Pooh stood tall
we all looked at each other where’s the Mouse?

Pooh was sweating and panting out of breath
I handed Pooh a towel and he smiled
Pooh started crying about Mickey’s death
Mickey just vanish like a losing

we don't need to swing

and love the sing

One On One

Men will fight, now that's a fact,
some have friends to watch 
their back.
One on one is how it should be,
not two to one, or so on, you see.
I had boys, and I know so well,
sometimes their actions,
will land them in jail.
You try so hard to raise them right,
but boys will be boys, and they will

Fantasizing a Little One On One

There's a certain somebody out there
i'd rather not name......
showed a little interest , at playing a game ,
she's bold in her talent's ,
say's she'll put me to shame....
such big talk , from such a tiny frame....
smiling inside , being challenged by this dame
a fine lady , no doubt , but game is not lame
you're quite
