Have you ever closed your eyes and peeked through the gateway of time
The body here, suspended mind
Witnessing the magnification of constellations, unknown presence not of your kind

Conventional aspirations, intellectual awareness you share

To my ancestors, my mind has traveled as I look down on ancient segments from Egypt and the messiah pulled from the depth of the Blue Lagoon
A once upon a time has come and gone too soon
I sat in the pews my head silently bent in prayer and wond...

I’m seeing how deep me

goes, digging to find if there

is a burrow beneath my whole.

To see if there may have been

an old me, maybe a Hebrew

King in a past life pure as gold?

But to whom did he cast a

shadow with, the soft side

that f...

My soft caresses flip

through layers she never

knew she had available,

tucked in the shadows of

her beautiful delicacy.

It’s nice to meet those

acquaintances as I peel

over one after another,

each one a little more

melanin, its own le...

Hindu style, my Chi centered
Resting upon the throne of Mother Nature’s gravity we call life
Myrrh and frankincense floating throughout my island of paradise
Engulfing the streams of awareness, oblivion unto the unknown, overtaking me in a tr...

A delectable sweetened treat
Naked essence where fused reality and dreams meet
Basking in the tropical heat all alone
Standing among Mother Nature, a cleansing to atone

Mm, your wishes have become my softened soap
Worshiping over every curvat...

he told me
the allure
the aphrodisiac
was all in the chase
the pursuit of the object
the plan of attack
the blueprint etched in the beginnings
and the happy endings

he told me
the moments that made him sweat
the sleepless nights
the ima...

I seek shade,

Weatherme not,

I can't stand rain,

Uh, uh

It reminds me of it,

Her drenched explicit,

That deep divot,

Those squeezing minutes

ticking around me,

Ooo, wee!

Why isn't the time moving?

Home sweet homeme!,

I'm loathing,

We had a Chevy Cavalierback when I was a kid

Each morning to get it started, this is what I did

My older brother would turn the key and pray to our savior

While I sprayed ‘Spray Start’ directly into the carburetor!

I like to sit and watch
ticket purchased in advance
always choosing the back row mezzanine
dark attire
so nobody knows I been in the building

I am over 21
heard about it
seen it all on channels I had to pay for
'cause this stuff can't be o...

I find it sexy being a poet

having reached the depths

of so many words.

I call it a mental pinnacle,

a touch leaving my mouth

drooling to taste one more.

Me wanting to explore what would

grow from a mind so rooted,

planted in my very...

Hell... I do not know what me and my Gee was getting into
All I know we were supposed to have met the Crips and their crew
The exchange of the payoff dope was near a cemetery
I’m from the hood and we make a drive pickup in the night, strapp...

My Queen how does it feel to be legit
You know I never did eat where I sh!t
Send word out to the Cartels
Come correct with that pure cut, or I will send them all to hell
Make sure you strap...

it is
the voice of Phyllis Hyman
or whoever you got on your Bluetooth playlist
while you buzz around the house
doing this
or doing that
or efficient efforts in doing absolutely nothing
so angelic in your accomplishments

To the one vibing with me,

I’d be your page,

and then anotherand so onuntil

I’m authored by your softest touch.

To complete your book will need more

than just a night, so stay close, be here,

at…,at...,no buts, let’s keep the pace...

Mm... to whoever the tender energy of my embracing words my touch
I feel the softest faint of your aura, slow down, relax, there’s no rush
Can you be my page, just for the night, I heard your mind and the promises, the what if, when the beginn...

You know when you rub him wrong,

but he still hugs you the same

You know when you argue to his face,

but his patience still remains

You know when you lie but he

still believes in your words

You know that when you do,

She’s mine, so she won’t have to

find him; she’s a sublime gift,

better than perfect if perfect was,

and I’m higher than God’s Hymn.

Dinosaurs saliva, even the water that Jesus turned into wine

Has been recycled so often throughout time

That it has been both yours and mine

Blood, sweat, tears, and other liquids of each kind

How can we be certain where all that water...
