Oh that poem!
A plain masterpiece!
An eye for the blind!
Beyond what my limited words can describe!
Glory be to he who wrote this breathtaking beauty!
But I am left speechless and confused
Once I see the simple number of its likes and views
I guess that's what makes it so special
A diamond unseen
A hidden potential.
And he continues to write...
As if poetry was his only friend.
I guess he already accepted the fact that
*we cannot always trend
the beauty of the unseen

"we broke up"

no
we did not
"break up"

you left me
you gave up
and quit
just like that
like it was nothing

it was never mutual
and i never agreed
yet i just had to accept it

i couldn't then
but now i do...
begrudgingly

They tried to
               erase us
                   with
               correction pen

Running over us
              with white

As if there's
              something wrong
         with the melanin
                       in our skins

Forgetting
             That we all
                    are
              pink and red
                           inside
My thoughts on racism

he painted today
just another masterpiece
late evening skies
beautiful blue border blurs
ominous orange clad clouds

his brush knows color
naturally gifted strokes
created with such ease
countless shades never ending
signed by artist with much love

It beats
Constantly
Keeps life
Alive inside,
This heart,
I'm just trying
To get
Back to
You,
It beats
Alive inside,
I'm just trying
To get back to
You
It beats
Constantly
Alive inside,
I'm just trying,
It beats
Was singing when writing this as if song lyrics...just seemed to happen.

For you I would try to make endless rain stop
For you I would shelter you from each drop
For you I would make time stand still
For you if I could I would and will
For you I would put myself second
For you there's nothing less than the best
For you I will do my best
For you always I give no less
For you are my light
For you are my life
For you son
For you are my eyes
My hopes. My joys
My boy. Always
For you

Stop trying to incinerate my heart.
Ashes can’t burn when they’ve already
become
Dust.
Ashes can’t evade when they’ve already
become
Rust.

Stop trying to incinerate my heart.
Random thought written in the moment. Maybe I’ll actually edit it later.
