In the picture of life, where do I stand?
Over by the workers,
scrapping daily,
just to make it though each day.
...
Movie reels spin
passing over a river of smoke
moment fall into a day
Illusions sweeten dry time
...
yesterday the little dipper overflowed
orion's belt melted into the sun,
a secret was told as altas dropped the earth
Today a dreamer saw a stranger in the mirror
...
living tomorrow today is forgotten
climbing a stairway to heaven
each step farther from the last
a spirit cries to be free as others
...
The sky cries to water the earth
A mother dies giving birth
Life chases it's tail called death
The baby takes his first breath
...
Once, I was someone people enjoyed,
didnt lie
brought the light to others,
But look at me now
...
ever wake up and your body feels new,
head is cleared of the negitive and filled with the positive,
the dark corners of your room don't appear gloomy?
...
a poem should write itself
it comes from soul bound emotions
pulling and tugging
then stapling them down word by word
...
I hardly know you,
you hardly know I,
but bound to you,
couldn't tell you why,
...
you don't know me,
well maybe... as words on a page,
reading the words that make my poems doesn't make you my friend
you can adore them or repulse them
...
Always by my side
Stuck together, the Bonnie to my Clyde
To be honest, I don't know where I'd be without you
...
Everyday is a little sweeter with you
I only wish i could do the same too
The halo around your head you call hair
Makes me stand motionless as I stare
...
I've stood silently long enough,
glaring into an empty culture.
we are people that stand for everything,
but stick with nothing.
...
The Big Picture
In the picture of life, where do I stand?
Over by the workers,
scrapping daily,
just to make it though each day.
Or with the wealthy men,
ignorant to the pain of back breaking labor.
The negros,
who faced endless discrimination.
Or the whites,
that twist their minds to keep others out.
You won't find me, in the picture I don't stand
Standing alone, in my own picture
is where I stand.
