So you loved me all along
You tell me with words after you’re gone
Separate lives, lovers
Bored entertaining “the others”
...

fill emptiness with wholeness
black hole depart
search deep, missing feeling
heart aches, left void
...

african-american
is politically correct
how far have we come
grandpa still says colored
...

As I glance over the tree tops
The balcony nauseates me
Moving clouds, crisp, hypnotic
With traces of grey
...

With every breath you breathe
my heart sings melodically for you
I know what I feel inside
I wait patiently till your mouth can
...

comment on my poem
i left one on yours
the words were so sweet
yet a lil’ bit obsessed
...

a prose, no a song
i must express
a life worth living
put to rest
...

plantation scars
great-grandfather on the bed he cries
screaming for freedom
...

Feeling Good courtesy of Nina Simone

Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
...

no gun or cut wrists
she hates her tomorrow
the body hangs heavy
dad cut her down
...

a warning to the others
twisted into shapes
understood by none
the trees keep my secret
...

yesterday i ran into you
did i imagine, was it fantasy
you peered with sweet moan
and shut my mouth with kisses three
...

am I the dream
or the creator
i lay awake tonight
dreading sleep
...
