U.S.A.

I'm no conspiracy theorist
I love my country
so why does U.S.A.
stand for
UNDER
SUSPICIOUS
ACTIONS
At times I shake my head
being of sound mind and body
I often wonder
why political figures
do what they do
Americans are NOT that stupid
or are we
I'm so tired like so many
of the systematic B.S.

YOLO

YOLO

The journey is epic
what we make of it is poignant
I submit that we all have a destiny
and discovering it is key
We search and stumble through life
seeking to find meaning
seeking to be enlightened by something
or someone
Others resist the challenge and go it alone
The playing field isn't level
and everything isn't for everybody
Obstacles abound
yet we find a way to overcome
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE
so make it real
make it lasting
make it loving
and make it your own.

Essence

Essence

I can't exit you from my mind
all that you encompass in me
controls my emotions
Your ESSENCE envelopes my soul
it completes me to my core
My adoration of you is primal
every fiber within me loves you
a healthy respect in tune
with an acknowledgment of
your sensual persuasion
drives me to you
I can't get enough with
no desire to stop.

SPICE

SPICE

I need you
to give life to the bland
My palate longs
to savor your many flavors
the sweet
salty
bitter
sour
etc...
You can change your complexion
instantly
if chilled or heated
then blended with others
you play well together
SPICE of life
you are
as many nations
claim you
Your heat can bring tears
and runny noses
You have the power
to pucker lips
as well as
make any man salivate
like a well trained pet
over your savory presence.

BIGGER

BIGGER

When we see racism...
be BIGGER
stand up to the bully
When we witness crime...
be BIGGER
be that snitch and level justice
When we see hunger...
be BIGGER
feed a soul that is in need
When another needs help...
be BIGGER
give what you can in aid
When a child need mentoring...
be BIGGER
give of your knowledge
When your mate needs compassion...
be BIGGER
be silent and give love.

Exhale

Exhale

Frustration continues to mount
as our communication lines
get crossed once again
I say right and you hear...
left
Drama is incorporated
into everyday life
a senseless lesson in futility
I say her and your all consuming
jealous mind
assumes that her is chasing me
I need to EXHALE at times
relax and be patient
I love you and only you
however
common ground is needed
understanding is warranted
and listening is essential.

A Song Of Praise

A Song Of Praise

I think
everything
I say
is a confession
                      I sing
                      in praise
                      of your name
                      and lift
                       the song
                      with the wind
higher
than hands
can reach
until heaven
can feel
the grace
                      of your beauty
I'll only
find peace
when both
heaven
and
earth
hear
the song
               I sing
                             for you

Farewell

Farewell

May your passing be quiet
in the beckoning night
may the answers you sought
be divinely defined
let all grievance be shed
to lighten your pace
bless your soul
now released
all my love
peace

Electric

There is no way
That a lightning strike
Can hold as much electricity
As one single kiss that we share
