You gave me wings
We flew so high
THEN
You cut them off
That night in the sky
I
Fell to the earth
Shattered and bruised i
ROSE
From the dirt and rubble
Without you
THEN I ROSE
My memories are
like dissonant wind chimes-
they shriek every time
my mind's winds blow.
Those familiar tunes still haunt me
and to this day they remain
stuck in my head.
I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)
When I was young I wrote about
How therapy was always trying to trawl me treacherous
With only having gone a handful of times as a child.
Today therapy is a friend to me,
Only trying to tear my troubles from my treacherous hands
To help me understand where they come from
And where I stand.
Summer In Gaza.

It's summer time
And where watching the
Beautiful sunrise and where
Having so much fun in the
Warm glorious sun
And where watching the
Sun shining so bright
And the kids having fun
In the warm summer sunlight
And Gaza is just a
Beautiful sunny place
And the breeze is full
Of sweet scented flowers
And the wine is so tasty
And the little birds singing so softly
And the tree's blowing in the
Gentle wind and Gaza
Is just a beautiful sunny
Place oh how I love
Summer day's in Gaza
And all of the songs we
Sung singing we love Gaza
All night long in the warm
Summer sun.
Free Palestine ❤️
There i saw It was the deepest in awe
A misty circle hugging the moon
Soon
The stars began dancing and prancing
even though they were steadfast
Cast
Into the skies a beautiful night glow
One down and thirteen more cycles to go...
beautiful to the sun
Beautiful to the moon
Beautiful to the grass
Beautiful to the dirt
Beautiful to the ash
Beautiful to the fire
Beautiful to the water
Beautiful to the desire
Beautiful to the slaughter
Beautiful to the life
Beautiful to the strife
Beautiful to the breath
Beautiful to the death
Check it out see what melanin is about
To shine you embrace you
With multiple clues
That'll stiff you like a statue

So I'll be black as the sun and black as the moon
Black as Saturn rings and Jupiter's moon
Black as the Hennessey and the shadow in the room
Black like a smoking heart that can no longer consume
Black oxygen  soon to be a black death
Lost breath finna be cooked like a black chef
Cajun fire blazin' So I can climb the
Ladder of black steps
diggin' deep formulates my black concepts
Black as Madonna tongue swift as an Iguana
Tail no fairytale black as the prison  system filled with with
black hell
Black sin casted since our souls blackened
Black like thoughts you'll see once the skulls get the cracking
Black like the Vietnamese burned into the ashes piles of scented death just  stacking
Black like the smoke from a chimney
So ya know fire is what's happening
Black like deaths clapping
Appraising souls swarming black hole
Preparing for rapturing
Black capturing black like the Billy Lee
Leading Washington
Fighting the Great Britain
During America's revolution
But no black solutions
Still tryna climb into a black institution
Black intuition
Hidden deep within wondering
If the Black Lord will forgive me of my sins
Let back of the black souls be watered and cleanse
Black like Boyz II Men tryna find a road that doesn't end
Black like storm pushing strong winds
Black like my ancestors forming hurricane across the desert ends
Black as Mahogany angled to perfection with black geometry
Black with knowledge of Dogon
Black Sirius like the Dog logo so long gone
Cuz black love is gone black vibes made from black lungs
Fill with black vibrations from.the mental gongs
Black like the law canonical stolen from my ancestors manual
Europeans ain't nothing but savage animals known to be cannibal
Check my black cerebral digging from my black celestrial
Dropped the sugar now I see the black extraterrestrial
Waving so I can jump into the black.mothership
And dip where no other brother live
Black as night sky line
black as heiron cooked under a spoon
Black as blueberry pie
Black as darkness in an empty heart filled with gloom.

Yo talk to em Yosef
I drank the *****
together with the pretty,
colorful juices

decantered and set
aside for the occasion.
Forgive me, I was

already tipsy,
because meeting new people
scares me a little.

I got drunk quickly,
and laid down on the couches
I just knocked right out.

Shameful, but then it
felt here, as always, like it
happened somewhere else.
Maybe sipping sweet tea on a floral couch, one ice cube with a captured gnat.
Straight tray sink refill. The trash collects them.


Maybe a lady, lethargic, middle age, amiable and sleepy.
What's up with moms and prescription filling her unshaken faith in medicine as pleasure.  

The window unit kicks on, the ice cubes shift as the sugar takes their edges off.

The heat has robbed the day.
