I fell for you
like apples fall off from trees.
Oh my Adam,
oh my Romeo,
can´t you see
how my eyes get wide when I see you.
Like an open field
with the smell of lavender.
But the roses you gave me
they stabbed my heart
and when the the salty tears touched the blood
I screamed.
I would scream at day
I would scream at night
I would scream until my heart was shattered.
So please
take your roses
and give me lavender.

you
your skin is soft like velvet
while your heart is cold like stone
In a house built with gray walls;
Marigolds withers and falls.
The sound of a violin at night that casts the spell;
Then winter bid us farewell.
The raven fly up high;
When the storm came and the clouds started to cry.
A wish to end this....?
PAIN
Ms. Flight attendant,
long time no see, love.
I miss you.
Queen from the west-side.
First-Lady flying across the country just to see me & only me.
Putting a smile on my face, Making me feel like I was your #1 priority.
As soon as you landed in my town,
You made sure to Text-Call- or FaceTime
-No matter where I be.
I stop by to listen to your every need & hold long night intellectual conversation.
While, you give me- “The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice” Inglewood love.

One thing I can say is, you stay ready.
Hit different
No wonder why you call yourself ~ Lolly
What is your secret Miss thing???  👀

(Hope you & baby boy doing well during this pandemic.)
There will be good times

And there will be bad times

We're having the time of our lives.
I wrote a note with your name mentioned
But deleted every word within a second
The feeling is long and drawn out
But it’s nothing aside the bigger picture
And much like a small city on this planet
It’s only feels larger when inside of it
I quite like this one
I want to write the poem
you always quote to impress
friends at Hampton parties
and read to your children
so they understand why this
whole mad spinning life is
worth the price of admission.
We might be born in a manger.
We might be Mary Magdalen.
We might be a million peasants.
Nobody will ever remember a
million peasants. We know Christ.
Give a man a book,
He'll burn it for a day.
Give a man a typewriter:
His mind will burn forever.
Wanting to be like someone
And wanting to be someone
Are two very different things.
....one is identity theft!

To be or to be the other one.....that is the question.
A momentary burst of sarcasm.
Enjoy!
To be or not to be someone like Shakespeare....that is the question....!
