Halo and Crown
Before the night fades and day welcomes my face, here is a kiss to the brow. If anything dims your halo between then and now, reflect on my crown—we are the same image. —JG ©2026

We pray with our shoes on, knees bent over cracked concrete, hands cupped like tin cups in a church of streetlamps, siren hymns threading the night, bassline heartbeat underfoot. Mama said Sundays were for boiled greens and hands that worked…

It just goes to show you everything ain't secretive anymore, I must admit, that this is some crazy writing!!! THE SECRET IS HIDDEN WITHIN THE SAUCE!…
Dark as Night, I look into the horizons, a sheet of complete…
As I close my eyes, the sea salt of my rebirth home Uprise my underworld kingdom and take your place among Heaven's throne The energy of your spirit shall carry you over the throne of Allah's glory and wishes The eighth dimension I give unto you, the…
My thoughts roam her realm, while my body awaits in jealousy. I can only imagine the things said, “He can’t do what we can.”…
In the realm between the darkness of the underworld in the cast of shield illumination of light Between the breath of life I give barren fields their beautiful birthright In the coven I sit upon damnation I am the goddess who sits on the throne…
Success isn't always the best, Along with chasing your dreams, You can make it to the top, but The negativity of it is unseen…
Don’t let anyone ground you away from him— take off. Your ascent, your rocket, two seats…
I don't care if it's wrong or if it's right, I dig you and you are out of sight, Like a true desire, you are my biggest delight, If I could, I would take you home tonight…
When your day leans away from its brightness, your smile seems heavy. Come closer, and breathe. Exhale into my arms…
Deep blue, like the star-stretched sky ascended above the free realm. Seven and six stripes— red, white, red, white—…
Today I pause in quiet reflection Not for medals Not for recognition Not for applause But for those who answered a call greater than themselves…
Poetry aside, what would I do with your body in the watchful night? Now poetry resides, and I just might—…
If I had to die today, I wouldn’t mind, nor argue with what chooses me. If it is in peace while I sleep…

A nephew and his uncle built a home for the thing they love. We want your richest, deepest expression of who you are and how you see the world.
Change the world. Join the vibe.
Poetry Vibe was born from something that can easily be explained but not easily understood. With any great creation, there is a sacrifice that needs to be paid and it will be paid by the visitors to the vibe. We want your hearts to flat line.
We want your richest deepest expression of who you are and how you see the world because we are hoping for one truly special thing to happen. We are hoping that your words will be read and in some way move someone to action, to feeling, to purpose, or better yet, move you to find your action, your feeling, or your purpose.
This site is about a nephew and his uncle who thought it was a great idea to create a site about the thing we love. We use it to tell stories, to help us understand how other people tell their stories, to connect and inspire and at the end of the day, it does something very special. It brings us peace. We can say that we never held on to the words. We let them out in the universe for the universe to answer our calls. And no matter what answer we receive, we still have our faith that we did the right thing.
We want the same faith from you. We want you to understand that your words have feelings, that you being part of another poets words has meaning. That we are all here because we are a part of something. The better word to use for it is a "movement." The poets will always stand tall because they understand that alone they can defeat one, two, or three men but with the right words, they can change the world.
So we have only one small request of you. Change the world! Join the vibe!
