I gotta train to catch

I hear it coming

Sitting on a rusty bench in Natchez Mississppi

Waiting for the iron horse

Red dust cling to my my Florsheim heels

One step from the plantation

My blues on a string

Juke joint preachin

white snow falling on black streets
you, on my mind

the arrival of spring
awakens the earth with every shade of green
you, on my mind

summer
melting the senses
hypnotizing the body into submission
you on my mind

Wealth and longevity are built-in to our skin. We're valued more than most can comprehend. Going as far back with time as childhood friends. The secret of our existence stretches from beginning to end.

standing in the checkout line screaming in my mind a stick figure drawn on my t shirt holds up a sign that reads I don't know in parentheses some one asked me what do it mean "I DON'T KNOW" I wanna scream

the peep's next door know my wifi name but not my middle name we share walls thinner than paper airplanes hear each other cough hear chairs drag cross the floor hear fights muffled like storms thru drywall but we dont knock the old woman under me ...

lust
seduced me into a moment of unfaithfulness
it drew in my wandering gaze
as your fingers were felt reaching out to me in a dimly lit hallway

Friday Evening

I had my Goddaughter with me for the entire weekend. Her parents had to attend a wedding in Washington, D.C, so guess who was appointed to care for her for two days. That’s a lifetime to me. Now, take in cons...

To the man of the moonlight by the stars unto the sands of time
Reveal your hidden identity to my famished soft hazel eyes
A soft murmur and a tender touch that once soared me beyond the night skies
Comfort of the imagination found between the ...

I harken to the murmurs of the virile man who has stolen my breaths
The core of my temple blending, our hearts mending, desires sending
Mesmerized by his sweet whispers, his kisses, God they make me melt
His persona, his charismatic charms, upl...

Touch me in the morning

Remnants of pleasure softy melting into the essence of my sweetest ambrosia

Enthralling breaths, showering undulated desires of weakened forays

Inhaling, exhaling, sedated in the blissful aftermath

I promised no one in particular

listen for the sounds of my computer coming to life
wait for desktop icons to appear
the moment is silent
someone is waiting for me to write somet...
