Why do we wait till the...

Talk of JoysA full African figure
Is how I can describe her
The Joy of seeing her
Is it not to be found
In her leaving as they drool
Her face contemplative
And easy grace mixed with charm
A voice tantalizing as she browses

The Hawk
The hawk circled, watching below
at all the activity happening
He focused on each person, as he would prey
But, instead he was just observing, listening, learning
He went to the wise owl and reported his observations and instincts
As...

A place I've grown to hateI wade through stagnant waters
Unable to change my state.
Forwards and backwards both lead to here,
A place ive grown to hate.

Crickets ComplyLuna rises high
into an ebony sky,
when bats begin to fly.
Silence seeks sounds to amplify;

into an ebony sky.
Warranting a sigh
wolves howl and cry;
when bats...

NEARLYLife is every chance
Thinking in advance
Travelling highways
Every day
Driving looking out for the other
Expecting a sudden change
Moment’s notice
A truck passed
Suddenly one of the tires blew
The tire went straight in the air
The truck suddenly went out of...

When You WereWhen you were
Crouched and crying
In a corner

Of cruelty
That their conscience bade them to...
