Someone’s Calling You
Someone’s calling you
To awake within the dream
Simply see the love
That has only always been
(11/19/23)
Happiness
May just be down to something
As simple as this
Someone
Who actually makes you happy
Hopefully you will be lucky enough
To find that certain individual person
Someone
Who provides and proves
Happiness is attainable
To you also too
Because you might also well just be
Their someone who in tern
Who brings and attains them
Happiness
I lost my whole family
So I took in a neighbor
I have paid, sold, washed, shopped, cleaned, and done for this neighbor more than anyone in his life has
His own children won't call him,
but I do
His ex wife is dating his old friend
I continue to encourage him
He is lost in the meta verse
One day he'll tell people about me like he tells me about others
All of the good people he Met in life are all memories now
and I reminded him one day you'll explain how you had a beautiful person who BEGGED to be your sister.
Showed you more love than your own kids
but because she is a BLACK WOMAN
she means nothing- you'll never call her your sister
you will never protect her like family.
You will remember her for cursing when she's mad
No matter how much she does you will never protect her from men'
because our men are so scared and weak in character.
I deserve better and will never beg to be anyone's family again.
Looking with hearts eyes we'll find
It doesn't take much to be kind
You don't need powers or capes
Helping a stranger escape
The torment their life is bringing
Or the pain that might be lingering
All around their hearts each day
There is such a brilliant way
To ease the troubles that they see
Making tears of misery
Fall each time new days begin
They just want to finally win
Living free from misery
A simple request to be
Made true if we all just
Give a little friendly trust
That everything will be alright
Letting them know a light
Of kindness can lead them past
All the hurt--it will not last
You never know how one small act
Can make the biggest huge impact
On someone who's really down
Their life can be turned around
If we all take one small minute
To release love--try to spin it
Towards others who need a lift
It would be the greatest gift
No money or wrapping paper
To do something good and taper
The wrong in the world and see
The caring humanity
Flowing and seeping into
Others who are sad and blue
I was standing in a queue with a person just behind us,
They kept moving and got too close - a bad case of compass-itis...

My mind dances with the devil,
my mind plays tricks on me.
My mind dances with the devil,
my mind plays tricks on me-
the only one who can set it free.
Within time, it becomes easy;
to become your surroundings.
Why do we only utilize-
what is placed before our own eyes?
As if the world does not have secrets to hide,
as if people do not lie,
as if triangles did not have any sides.
Sure would be living obviously-
like some individuals now,
can you see?
Maybe like yourself? once like me?
Habits can be hard to break-
if you allow yourself to be weak.
Who are we? What is our purpose?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another soul like mine,
another neglected heart,
another cloudy mind.
We are all one.
Norms in society explain;
just how we piece together.
I am everyone,
everyone is me.
Souls need homes-
not just a body.
Allow your soul to exhaust itself;
in the surroundings of mother earth and light.
Souls need fresh air.
In order to find a home i need to make a home.

It doesn't make any sense
Some people experience
Joy and laughter every day
While happiness just slips away
From others because they are
Shining like a brilliant star
Being different and unique
As they are trying to seek
Love and pleasure without judgement
But it's fading every instant
Some big bully isn't quiet
Causing a ruckus and riot
Saying names that are just rude
Thinking their bad attitude
Is getting them some attention
Oh, did I forget to mention
It's just making them look weak
The obnoxiousness they leak
Is never going to last
This hateful judgement will just pass
Their racist rant will not hover
Love is love, will soon cover
This world with a bright rainbow
Colors big and bold will show
Everyone is meant to be
Happy and negative free
as you go do it slow
for over your shoulder
there's someone bolder
that love's you
that someone you know who
SOMESONES WATCHING YOU
2 hours of broken sleep
sweat tears and spine chills creep
living in a horror scene
barely notice its now routine
should of kept some from last night
look in mirror what a sight
ghostly image seldom gets a second glance
the devil smiles today we dance
long walk short wait
one out of two aint bad it aint
settle in to kill the beast
patience patience wait aah release
knocking knocking on the door
the beast lived! hungry, always wanting more
someones mother someones son
door breaks in floods the sun
mother weeps at awful sight
son and the devil depart the light
someones watching
one night i was walking
i was walking all alone
and then i got this feeling
it chilled me to the bone
i felt my heart go faster
it beat just like a drum
i saw the shadow up ahead
my body got all numb
i shout out who's there
trying to sound brave
i'm telling you this poem
from deep inside my grave!
(this is a co-owned poem with joylin(sp?) Renoylds)
some hate
will not debate
a life they will take
for heavensake
you do a follow you
don't take the rap
DON'T FALL I SOMES ONES ELS
TRAP
reaching out to touch a heart
is not very hard to do
but the only way you can start
is by sharing what's inside of you
everyone needs a pick- me- up
it's not a handout per- say
cause it really does'nt cost that much
to brighten up someone's day
a kind word or gesture
sometimes is all that's needed
for happiness can only be measured
by how someone is treated
so if you're trying to do something worthwhile
you dont' have to go out of your way
sometimes it just takes a smile
to makes someone's day
you see your brother down
pick him off the ground
don't play around
help him or her stand
show god love
from above
PAST GODS TEST
YOU WILL BE BLESS
do it all over this promise land
TAKE SOMEONES HANDS
