BEHIND THE LENS
Behind the cash machine stood her glowing in her lens As I saw her come near, Nothing a man could do but silently cheer. A sight as beautiful as the sea A smell as good as popcorn popping at the movie theater A word, for a moment, could not be uttered Confidence was all that […]

IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT.
I have two sides I want to address One side pricks hearts The other warms Friends, recently I have been at bay Trying to think, understand, and reconsider humanity. Lost I am now. Tangled in a web. Trying to make amends. People, understand this. I can spot fake from a far. I am a poet: […]

Silent Reflections
1 Oh where do I begin How do I begin this story One I’d never wish to tell A story of solemn reclusion One of hibernation Of silent reflection 2 Growing up, At age 5 I was indirectly taught to bottle up my emotions I was told it was seen as perfections I was told […]

I’m losing it!
12 a.m Sleep refuses to set in My mind goes to a long journey One of bliss and bloom Makes me want to shun reclusion Makes me want to imagine how you made me feel What is it about you that haunts me? I let you go so I can set my mind free. You […]

I was no woman of god, but watching you talk about Jesus Christ and Salvation makes me want to experience God more. I was no believer in the afterlife, but I’ll end this lifetime just to know you all over again in another world I was of no strong faith, but before I speak, create […]

Suave Bracelet
It’s Suave You made me a bracelet Made of your sweat For me to smell it day and night The smell of this bracelet echoes your soothing voice So many times I have tried to stop this muse It haunts me to write about this bracelet Low, I lie down and saw blisters on my […]

FORLORNNESS
Caught by the whirlwinds of forlornness. With no one to share memories with Not even a smile As I sit all alone Playing a game of patience With my back against the wall Thoughts breed in my mind. Waiting for a stranger to spend a moment One who would want to mend this broken piece. […]

Your World…
Just like Romeo and Juliet, Ours could have been a Fairytale It could have been a long wait But you chose your busy tail This world of yours baffles me It’s a puzzle I’d love to solve This world of yours baffles me It’s a game I’d love to play along Perchance, I have been […]
