Children imagine things big

Why do we stay small?

Can we grow?

Pen and paper 

Without my pen and paper
So many words are lost
So many are just thoughts 
just floating into thin air

Transform me Oh Lord into a new creation. 
Cover me with grace and mercy each day and night. 
Lead me Lord into Thy hands.

Activated

Met a beautiful lady
Fine like wine
Explored each other
Opened new doors
Activated my third eye...

Soft so sweet,
on my lips,
your sweet taste

As juice runs,
I do catch,
Drip drop drip.

Passionate,
to my soul,
pineapple.

Between A Crevice

Between a crevice
I spy a city that thrives;
Trucks meander North
Pedestrians move, along
sidewalks the color of sand...

Nature’s Regiment

Adorned in camouflaged suits
Brown and android green
Bravely battle brazen winds  
Defeated by acid rain...

Amy,
Check out 27 
Back to black
Pick up required on the floor of a London flat
Valerie just abandoned her comeback
Farewell sweet raven
You piper of pain
Love is a loosing game...

Right at our front door
Time awaits we both have dread
Severing our kindred ways
I beg you wind please
Don't blow fond memories my way
Parting time has come

Chariot of fire
close your eyes and say a prayer
for it's your time to sleep.

Set and take with you
begrudging darkness of the day
trailing behind you.

The hills are calling
give way to a new days dawning
let thy nemesis arise.

Like it or not
This is the poem i wrote
Out of the blue
In the middle of the night 
While thinking to much
About you
What the next day week will bring
When spring arrives and the flowers bloom
On the hill above me.
What a silly little poem i have wrote.

Let 
Let it go fast 
Let it heal
Let it burn
Let the tears flow 
Let the memories fade
Let the past go 

Let's make the future  the best
Let the good times roll
Let's make new memories 
Let's do this fast.
Let's  do this here and now

A beautiful baby
A regular baby just like you and I

But she has much love from within...

African American Nursery Rhyme
By Valerie Odom
December 2, 2016

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If I die before I wake
I pray for Lord my soul to take 
Amen

Now I’m afraid to roam these streets
I pray the Lord 12 doesn’t kill me
If I die before 28
I pray for Lord I at least graduate
Amen...

By Valerie D. Staton

My mind swims with thoughts of yesterday...
a day of unrelenting anguish and fist pounding sorrow
a day never to be forgotten
a day never to be relived again...

a day my heart, like a vase hurled against a granite wall,
shattered into a million pieces...

the day mother closed her eyes for the very last time...

A dose of Love

I need a dose of you
I need a juicy kiss on the lip's
I need your touch on my skin
I need to see your smile
I need to see your eye's look me up and down
I need to feel your breath on my neck
I need to feel your hand's all over me
I need to hear your voice
I need a good dose of your love
I need it now.

My soul feels so empty,
I'm confused and torn,
Why can't you take away
this hurtful feeling.
Do you even hear my cries
of what this person is doing to me,
I can't see any footprints
or a shadow of you,
I feel so all alone,
Yet I hear the ocean roar,
I need to know everything
will be alright,
Could you give me a hug,
I need more!

CHICKADEE
By Valerie D. Staton

Outside my window in a maple tree,
I saw the most beautiful Chickadee;
Seated on a bough, the little songbird,
Sang the sweetest song I’d ever heard;
The tiny bird’s song drew other birds near,
Creepers and Kinglets I could clearly hear;
When I grabbed my flute and began to play,
birds relinquished the bough and flew away....
