I think about the good times "the good times" there were good times not to say all the good times have passed away life is a song to those who love to sing along history taught me ABC was easy as 123 letters were written in cursive lines love didn...

Be the spark

Not in fire
Not in flame

But in memory
of your name

Let your craft open
gates wide

Let the hidden path
be known

Draw the bridge
Raise the tide

Through the surface
Through the veil

Trace the moment
libate the trail

Where’s your witness…

when the truth sits heavy

and the room grows still?

Who saw the way you carried it,

the weight no one named,

the strength you never claimed aloud?

Sometimes the only witness

is the echo of your own he...

I didn’t fall all at once—

I came apart in quiet ways,

edges softening,

strength slipping grain by grain.

But even in the ruin,

There’s a truth I can’t ignore:

what crumbles

can clear the ground

for something stronger

to...

Pass the passion like sunlight through branches— soft, warm, and meant to be carried.

Let your fire touch another soul, the way a flame kisses wick and suddenly there’s more light than before.

This is how we grow: one inspired heart igniting...

Like a branch shaped by seasons, I curve with the weather of my life— sun?warmed, storm?tested, softened at the edges by time.

I don’t stand rigid against the world; I move with it, letting each challenge carve a gentler strength.

This is ho...

If brothers could sing the blues,

their voices would rise like smoke at dawn—

soft at first, then aching, curling around the truth they never learned to name.

They’d hum the weight of promises broken,

the echo of footsteps leaving, th...

I felt the weight lifting, a shift in the air,

Like color returning where shadows once lived.

A fracture of brightness, a fearless debut —

Hope stepping forward in a shade I once hid.

Call it a comeback, a spark, or a truce —

But so...

My blues have edges like river?worn stone,

Smoothed by the years, carved by the unknown.

But a glint found its way through the cracks in the hue,

A warm little spark in a world colored blue.

It’s the whisper of healing, the start of a ...

There’s a crack in the quiet where the light slips through,

A soft little shimmer in the shade of my blue.

I’ve carried storms in my chest, thunder stitched in my seams,

But today there’s a pause — a breath — a shift in the dream.

It’s...

Cannot fly.” You will always find a way” wake up, for sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

Let things go; for they are too heavy. Let go, tie no weights to your soul.” your fears scare you?

They're there to let you know that there is something...

Now, what do I say…. everything I had was placed into a man; at least I felt he was a man, a man I could love until. Well you know to him I say….

Did Love You

I loved you,

I loved you until the inner parts of my soul ached,

I loved you...

A minute too late. Lost - yesterday, between sunrise and sunset, two hours, gone forever

Lost time within us, changes swept by, swept away.

The end of your life, regret having passed, not closing time governs the clock.

Dare triumphs, thr...

Playing till sunrise the low-down blues, blew my mind. Something’s been missing my whole life.

The music, discards everything down to the soul. My Blues are the true facts of my life expressed in words and song, feelings, understanding.

Out ...

these words might find you
or you may find these words
one hundred years from now
or maybe more

it might find you somewhere inside my house
a silver box in the basement
or under a loose board in the attic
there will be no lock on it

poem
tucked neatly and discretely away
underneath three upside down walnut shells

people
places
thangs

carnival sounds and tasty Caribbean ware
colorful
festive costumes surround us
contemplating

it is about you?

Summer camp 1983, we just left the pool

Rushing to catch the bus, I grabbed my shorts off of a stool

I pulled the zipper of my cut off shorts much to quick

And managed to fasten up all my kibble and bits!

Unable to release both my family jewel...
