I have been laying on the sauce real thick, I think I upgraded from sauce to molasses. I was keeping things stick sticky. I barely got out of there, for all the damage I have caused I never thought to have anything like regrets. I was a part of th...

anything can be sung

you don't have to hear

the music to sing

our voice is an instrument

all weneed is a heartbeat

rhythm doesn't need permission

a melody doesn't need a name

a song is just a feeling

looking for a way out

I built this throne with words and rhyme

I've earned my seat one line at a time

Before you claimed that you couldn't die

I gave your existence a reason why

I took my pain and made it art

I gave my words a beating heart

You wear f...

Poured out all the love

Love that went to waste

Have not a drop

Not even a taste

Sweet and sour

Pair well together

Love and hate

Will never sever

Even though it seems as though

You’re going the wrong way

The process will not point you

In the wrong direction

Trust the process

Do not rush the journey

One of my favorite words

I like to use alot is Stuff

I don’t know why but

I like Stuff I love Stuff

Stuff can be anything

Some of us have some Stuff

Some of us have a lot of Stuff

Some of us can’t get enough Stuff

Some of us have too m...

Sometimes getting back

on your feet isn’t just

about what you can do for

Yourself.

It’s also about being able

to recognize yourself in

what you can do for others.

Tucked in the corner of a

spoken word poetry scene,

her delivery lit the wicking

nature of my mind,

producing the silhouette of

a muse.

Somebody done

spilled the beans!!,

This is a squealer,

perpetrator and

a blabber

mouths dreams,

to know yo biz,

all up in

your kool-aid,

wanting to know

who, what, when, where,

and who it is!!

I am original,

I am simple,

I am one of a kind,

I didn't roll of a

conveyor belt, but

My model is hard to find,

I am genuine, I am real,

If I am brought, I am quite a steal,

I have values, a really good deal,

You'll love...

Years and years ago there was a tv commercial

that said best bet Hire a Vet

To the less then one percent who

raise their right hand and say this

We Will Defend I say Happy Veterans Day

For the Vietnam Vets i salute u my Warriors

We preach under sodium bulbs and stop signs,
hands cupped against the cold to warm a story.
Mama used to say the block keeps receipts—
every promise, every slap-back laugh,
folded into the pocket of an old coat
hung on a nail above the sink.
We read t...

I am sipping on sunshine, with a big straw too. I was always in this place of abundance. I have been looking forward to it. I was a part of this world and I still am. I am hopeful and thinks are looking up or at least I am. I see that all things a...

Her pose was a seductive

illustration,

but I would stall upon

answering the geometric

coordinates of her legs

to map the x, y, and z

of her mind first.

I succumbed to the desire

Rewatching our memories to feel everything you are in the moment and to be

Because this is a shared universe

Sequels

Highlights of a connection that can’t be severed

Techniques ,imitated by those whose atte...

Set on a vision I dreamed of. Though I struggled to make them believe. Craving a clean cut division. A sudden, sharp need to leave. Guilt on my mind, left my family to grieve. But I had new matters I had to achieve. Hurdles and obstacles ready to ...

They stole Our rights and

gave Us Our wrongs

Then They called Us disloyal

when We dared to question

Who made the rules

They made Us feel guilty

for reclaiming Our belongings

They told Usnothing

I do some of my best writing during church

I probably shouldn’t (write here), but for what it's worth

Other times, I just don’t feel as motivated to create

Maybe its here where I can best relate?

The choir’s melodies provide a divine b...

The hopes and prayers of my mother, who always knew that I could achieve

The confidence of my wife, whose arm choose my sleeve

The pride in my daughter’s eyes, when I picked her up from school

The women in church who always know what to d...

I balance on an unwavering limb.

If I fall for you before autumn

ends,

you will find that my pages are

anomalous.

I might drift along with

my pigments changing with age,

but I will ground gently,

exactly the read you thought I was.
