Time flies through these moments
Never tell me what year it is
This bliss, sweet
rings so true
capturing future memories through writing
Time flies through these moments
Never tell me what year it is
This bliss, sweet
rings so true
The makings of a supreme
Equals extreme conditioning
Empowered and confident
Black boy
Like a tug of war
Your face, snatched
Your pain, drank
Your death, sang
Your glow, rinsed
Extreme resilience, I must say
Micro waved out from the gutters
Envisioned
Predicted,
like the messiah
You are the clock
that keeps all ticking
You are the currency
that pulsates the market
From the turn of the southern belt
To the western lagoon of Lasgidi
You are the sun
From you, life exists
Flexing while in motion
The hate builds up when
Brown passes brown
That hate placed in baby cries
Brown destroying brown
Only the strong survives mantra
The crabs the hoes and the weak
Don’t forget
At the neck when you bite
Gutter jungle sounds bytes
Metrics and vulture cycles
One Dollar bill mixed with blood and
Vengeance
Passed onto my unborn
Repeating my man made history
Always left bare with pain
Emotions always tight gripped
No leaks or spill overs
Running the maze
Holding the cross for
Another’s man race
I think about you from time to time
Every part of you
The corners, crescents
The way your eyes shines when the evening settles
Red earth: your body when the afternoon dust rests
I think about you when I’m alone
You must know
I still smell
you
Real memories now turned into star pointing
Gazing when the night is dark and the moon just bright right
Wonderful plays, it seems. Slowly the tides shifts gears, with the pedal revved, the acquired sense of direction attains a new set of waves. Like a pair of new shoes, the delusion of enchantment smells too sweet at first. Only when you see the decays of the sole then, and only then you can boldly say “thou feet are worn out.”
The louder it gets, the smoother the lullabies get. The high pitched voice from the folk-place is always under the buses. Must water fall from the sky? When the land bears bountiful fruit. In the need for cheeks and checks, the kiss smears longer till the bite on the neck becomes apparent.
A striking resemblance you see on the wide world screen. It gets madder by each channel or Chanel. It grows wilder by the sound of the speaker; less reality, more distortion. The fetish of the street-grain-rodeo brings the compendium of highlighted thirst to a new low.
The steps of the queen drags a little too long. The stare she receives adds a year or two to the tale of the Sheeba and a mere man. So strong, yet her kiss settles easily on mouth. The want breaks loose setting another yearn for lust. Such and such, the silk dissipates and all that was hidden bears front in the room of embrace. The pain hints at a later time, but the Queen continues to hold her spell. The mirror says all, she reigns supreme. At day, her face. In night her cries.
Another maybe. Pass away smiles; dreaming on till laughter from the face of the passer-by rings into mind. The workout to bring sane goes south and sends messages to the unknown up north.
I stay in the clouds
Pass by some birds
Spoke tree tales
All alike, I found
Glory around me
Taste of clear thoughts
Water hitting skin
Already forgotten
That I had brown on me
Sun shining pure in heart
The man in black
Black trench coat
Dripping of dreams
Nightmares in form of fear
Braced for cold
Winter rushing forth like water
Casting away summer sun
All here,
The night calling forth
Faith strapped in his holster
Bullets shaped for battle
War times meant for him alone
No help needed
God and liquor for guidance
The world consumed for heat
Hell a door away
Break, break
Brake then sweat
Demons racing for his soul
Spirit unchained
Shackles broken
Freedom, daily fought
The man in black
Skin melted with the night
Love a taste, hardly remembered
Still,
His path in the sky
Telling tales of perseverance
What is heaven to you?
When you close your eyes?
What do you see?
I see peace in colors
I feel the breeze
I know God is speaking
Like the old Gold Coast
Nomads settled
In tribal beads
Future unknown
Yet praises touching the sky
Underneath, earth awakened early
Far from carnality
Technology in trees and birds
The sun telling time
Huts forming circle
Fire only a tool
Seeds sowing
Children harvesting
A heaven always close to my heart
Turn back the times
To when I was young and mild
Joy always crowded on my face
Far back, past future bills and letter heads
Then, when a cry came back with an answer
Blessed by love’s early mercy
A circle cut shut by the devil’s false hope
To live and think of innocence never given
Survival scars forced onto one’s hands
scribbling away life’s birth marks
Crunched,
held,
walked
Then pushed
Some place far into oblivion
I, still out here
Searching for my father’s house
Murder, murder
Slaughter for the keeps
Sheep in wolves clothing
Casting shadows amongst the rest
Wisdom drank only after the demise
Too long to bring peace past destruction
Give and take
Life first
Although, now the other
inter-changed
always swapping
Lesson scribbled,
somehow showing balance
Murder, murder
Burn them all down
Cows fed milk
Humans fed by prices
Numbers showing souls
Phones bending spines
Spirits being snapped out
Breathe now
To live longer and fulfill,
beyond star lights and destiny fields
Instigating a "Mental Revolution"
Unleashing the beauty of creativity
seeking solace in the horizon of life and beyond
Aspiring to be the best at writing. Poetry lover, haiku and free verse to be precise, I hope to one day master
The Mystery, Motivation and Mastery of Life
Some of what I breathe out arrives here
keeping It 100 With You
Sometimes poetry gives you the voice
Poets bleed from the heart and soul
