Baby, You’re a Drug
Baby,
You’re a drug
An addiction
Maybe,
You can numb
My afflictions
With one touch
No prescriptions
…Baby, you’re a drug
Baby
I can’t lie
I breathe you in
And I get high
A free ride
On cloud nine
Capturing my body
And corrupting my mind
…Baby, you’re a drug
You flow all through my veins
A rush
Straight to my brain
You take away
All of my pain
A sensation
That keeps me sane
…Baby, you’re a drug
You’re a bad habit
And I’m just an addict
Every time I try to quit
You call…
And I’m right back at it
Baby,
You’re a drug
An addiction
Maybe,
You can numb
My afflictions
With one touch
No prescriptions
…Baby, you’re a drug

I am not a ****
It’s a shame
If that’s what you see
When you look at me
I’m not a gangster
Or a rapper
I’m not the images
Plastered all over T.V.
I’m respectful to women
I was taught this
By my mother
I’m willing to fight
If the cause is right
But mostly I’m a lover
…A good book
Despite
If you like
It’s cover
Compassionate
Thoughtful
And considerate
Of others
I’m not lazy
I'm not a thief
I'm not a criminal
Who runs the streets
I work at least
60 hrs. per week
And don’t be surprised
When you realize
I’m very articulate
When I speak
I’d rather read a book
Than shoot hoops
On a basketball court
Music is my passion
And I write poetry for sport
Love is my drug
And I put it
Into everything I do
It’s pure
Strong
And addictive too
I bet you won’t see that
On the news!
I am not a ****
So please don’t assume
You could be missing out
On a good friend
Don't let your preconceptions
Resume
Don’t keep your mind closed
Open up
…Make room
I'm not a ****
I am a MAN
Try to get to know me
Then you'll find out
Who I Am

Intolerant to Tolerance
(Poem by Serenus)
They tolerate your gayness
You should be so glad
That they’re not indifferent to your difference
They’re not the one’s calling you F*g
They tolerate your blackness
Racism…
They’re much bigger
In their minds
They’re colorblind
They’ve never uttered
The word N*gger
They tolerate your religion
Muslims,
Jews,
And Christians
Believe what you want to believe
They tolerate your decision
They tolerate your opinion
They tolerate your facts
They tolerate your voice
They even let you talk back
They can stomach you as a person
Isn’t that honorable?
Doesn’t it feel great…
To be so tolerable?
We all need to pull together
And strive to be prosperous
It’s time to move forward
And be intolerant to tolerance.

May I borrow your pen?
The one that holds
Genius within
Poking holes
Through many poets
Paper thin skin
Leaking ink
That makes them
Re- think
Their careers
Over again
May I borrow your pen?
The one that holds
The master key
That will unleash
My inner master piece
A sword
With the blood of
Literary casualties
Wounding other writers
Who try to compete
With your awesomeness
…May they rest in peace
May I borrow your pen?
I’ll try to remember
To give it back
But the power
Of the ballpoint
Is something no poet
Should ever lack
I promise
To use its power for good
Anything else would be a sin
So what say you?
Lend to a friend...your inspiration?
…May I borrow your pen?

The Blues of Langston Hughes
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing it smooth to revive his muse
I sing it cool! I sing it loud!
I sing it jazzy! I sing it proud!
Who am I to sing it?
...I’ve got my nerve
I just can’t keep quiet,
And have my Dream Deferred
I guarantee you’ll dance
To my grand vibrato
The music will stick in your head
Until you dig my Motto
I can sing it tame
But I'd rather sing it wild
Either way it's brilliant
The lullaby of a Genius Child
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
The tune is old, but it still reigns true
I sing it sweet
With the beat of the streets
I’m singing so good,
I got you tapping your feet
A song of truth
A song for any era
A harmony against hate
I too, sing America!
I can sing it tame
But I'd rather sing it wild
Either way it's brilliant
The lullaby of a Genius Child
A Jukebox Love Song
To set the ambiance
From ancient rivers
To the Harlem Renaissance
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
I sing the blues of Langston Hughes!
All of the poets -who know it…
Should sing it too!

A Kiss Is Not a Kiss
A kiss is not just a kiss
…A kiss can be the key
That unlocks
Love
Life
And countless of other
Limitless
Possibilities
A kiss is not just a kiss
…A kiss can be the cure
For loneliness
Unworthiness
It can be
Confidence
For the unsure
A kiss is not just a kiss
…A kiss can be
Recognition
That you deserve love
That you deserve life
It gives you
Permission
So until you find someone
That will show you
Love
And
Affection
...Look in the mirror
And blow a kiss
To your own
Beautiful
Deserving
Reflection

Diet without the “T”
(Senyru)
Sweet potato pie
You can kiss your life goodbye
Your new home...my thighs
Exercise or Be Exorcised?
(Senyru)
Gluttonous Demon
I’m eating for no reason
I will get even!

My mind is released
Another world has opened
So, I come in peace

So, you want to leave?
Life will go on without you
…likely with more ease

There’s no certainty
Only death is guaranteed
So keep your receipts
