Amber

AMBER

Amber described her.
High yellow like the sun itself
With a inside orange like a 
Fresh lit fire.
Eyes so intriguing, heart so fatiguing
From critiquing men,
That weakened her.
 Men that weekend her when she deserved
All the days on the calendar.

So beautiful she once was
With a smile that could brighten up
The stormiest day
And a mind which was once used,
Now abused and confused.
Her heart of gold was sold 
To the lowest bid, and the old pains is hard to rid.
That cut on her left chest
Is still open after so long, it just wants to heal.
Constant pain that trembles up her spine
From constantly bending over backwards
To satisfy people.
Now that fresh lit fire inside her 
Continues burning.
That door that stands inside her heart
Is no longer turning.
Those eyes that was intriguing
Is now reeking of bad vibes,
That smile she once had decided to hide.
She raised her pride, it lowered her cries
Now she only cries inside.
But, that is Amber.
Amber is who I’ve described.

New York City

I live in the city that never sleeps
Time square lights shine
While the sun creeps.
Homeless men rush to the big tin can 
Of left over meals
Teens vamp through the night,
No sleeping pills.
My fellow citizens
Shop so late
Club stays open in Brooklyn
Way past eight.
Catch a ferry to Staten Island
Or a nice boat ride in Manhattan
A Broadway musical
Staring Jasmine and Aladdin.
A Yankees game in the Bronx
On a nice sunny day
Mr. Softie drives by 
While all the kids play.
A booster on the street
Selling expensive bags for cheap
And Knock off shoes
While he watch out for police.
Knicks game at Madison square garden
Carmelo Anthony hits 30 points
A Rikers island bus 
Releasing inmates from the joint.
New York City is my city,
The city everyone wants to meet.
It stays awake as the sun creeps
My city never sleeps.

Driving Emotions

Messy is spilling her drinks in my car
Curious keeps asking me questions
Bossy is telling me ways to go 
Because unorganized just lost our directions.

Impatient is complaining she’s tired of waiting 
At the red light she’s telling me to go
Vain just took my rear view mirror
To brush her hair real slow.

Excited is jumping up and down in his seat
While discouraged keeps telling him to keep calm 
Talkative is telling me a bunch of nothings
While annoying keeps tapping my arm.

I’m on this road, with a bunch of emotions
And I’m lost between my routes
I stop the car in the middle of no where 
And I yell “EVERYONE GET OUT”.

“I can’t keep driving in this car full of emotions
And I don’t even know where we are”.
They all start to snicker, I turn around
Sneaky just stole the car.

Drunk At the Bar

One drink two drink three drink four
Shot after shot, bartender pours and pours
Drown me in my sorrows
Cocktails I need more 
Until I’m stumbling to the door
Or drunk passed out on the floor.
Erasing my memories
With every single sip
My body tingling, I’m flirting
With all the waiters on this shift
I’m mingling, I love 
All this attention that I get
But deep inside, I almost died
 I’m dangling off of a cliff.
I’m drinking I’m drinking
I’m dying with every sip
I’m crying I’m replying 
To these messages that I get
I’m drinking to ease my mind
I’m trying with every bit
One drink two drinks
Of Hawaiian Midori sips
But the waiters is going home
The bar starting to close
My memories is coming back
I don’t know how I’m a get home
I call a cab, he takes me away
I’m answering my phone
I tried to escape my memories
But my memories brought me back home.

Dream Away

Last night you came to me in my dreams
I felt your little hand, I touched your face
I couldn’t believe you were here with me.

I thought god took you back home
False alarm, you was back in my arms
I held you close to my heart fearfully.

You even cracked your first smile
Your small fingers held my fingers
What a blessing to have you near to me.

Happiest moment of my life
Welcoming my baby girl to the world
As you opened your eyes and stared at me.

I couldn’t believe my eyes, such an angel
I watched you sleep, caressed your arms
So tearfully


I woke up the next day to reach for you
You already made it home 
God opened the gates so cheerfully.

I cry every night since you been gone
Everyone sees my sadness
I told them to bear with me.

It was love at first sight, the best
Love I ever felt. 
How could I lose someone so dear to me?

Love Song

That love song? So beautiful
The melody ? Outstanding
The way the piano grace my ear drums
And the guitar put a hand in. 
The way you sing it, so peacefully
The words just travel right through my soul
It just changes my heart and mind
And keeps my body under control.
It keeps my feet standing, my brain leaves me
As I welcome it with open arms
With this love song, so beautiful
You could never do me any harm.
That love song, that love song
Gave me the best feeling I have ever felt
Until I found out you was singing that same love song
To someone else.

Danced

They danced all night. 
The neighbors could hear 
The loud thumping.
They danced all night
He took the lead 
And they spanned a thousand times. 
The kids watched 
From the crack in their bedroom door
So fearful
As they danced.
He grabs her hand, she’s hesitant
She doesn’t know her moves, so evident
So she let him lead as they dance.
He dipped her back 
She Slides out of his hands, she falls
While she’s on the floor, she crawls
He whisk her away off the ground
And they continue to dance.
They dance, they dance
Cuts and bruises on daddy’s hands
Rips in mommy’s pants, mommy cries
As they dance through the night.

Gift

It was not my birthday, it was not Christmas
but I was hit with a big surprise
such a wonderful adoring gift
such a blessing in disguise. 

It wasn't in my wish, but what a wonderful gift 
what will I do when it arrives?
So young I am, for these instructions at hand
will it totally change our lives?

As I think and think , I worry and worry
what will my parents say about my decision?
Will I be viewed as "bad" because of this decision I have
because I am still under their supervision?

As I think and think, I can't help but cry
I know the world just won't ever understand it
I leave it a secret, I don't know if I could keep it
I am feeling so lost and abandoned. 

I made my decision, what a horrible feeling
as I walk alone in this rain
I gave you away because of what they would say
but only I have to deal with the pain.

Covid-19

Someone please show us the way.
Watching this virus spread like a wild fire.
Watch the politicians argue & bicker over 
Personal desires 
While more and more peoples lives expire.
More & more each day, watch the ventilators 
Breathe their last breath of air
Watch the people, who never believe, 
Continue to not care.
And the ignorant souls spit on food – and 
Essential items for internet views.
Watch the people perish on 
Without being able to have a funeral 
And a life that was once beautiful 
Basically get flushed inside a urinal. 
Watch the nurses & doctors work like magicians 
Saving each person one by one
Risking the lives of their husbands, wives 
Parents and young. 
Today is Wednesday, I think 
I don’t even remember, I mean
Look at what this virus has done.
Families not knowing where 
Their next meal will arrive, 
And us humans walking around with masks 
& gloves with the belief 
It will keep us alive.
News reporters telling us we can’t go outside.
We are skipping Easter this year,
We will be skipping birthdays as well
Never know the next time I can give 
My family a hug and only time will tell.
Social distancing the best way I know how,
Praying this virus just slow down
& eventually just go away,
I don’t know when it will
I couldn’t tell you the time or day 
But someone please show us the way.

I Apologize

I take a hit; with every hit my depression tends to fade.
This temporary high makes this world a better place.
I apologize to my family, my kids who I've pushed away
but If I stayed around I would have ruined your better days.
If I'd hold you in my arms for a second then
took my self away, would you be okay?
Or it it better that I stay away until my mind and heart is okay?
I want to heal. Who wants to be strung out?
Not knowing what moment would have been my last hit.
Who wants to not be in control of their own body?
Not me, but this drug is my only escape.
Asking you to understand me is selfish. I just need some time
and if forever is what I take, I apologize.
Apologize for my mistakes.
Apologize for choosing drugs over everything I had at stake.
Hopefully it doesn't defeat me in the end
but honestly, at this moment these are 
the chances I am willing to take,
and if I do not come around before it is to late
I APOLOGIZE.
