You promised not to
let go
You promised not to
regret

You promised you'll never
look back
You promised you'll never
stop

You promised not to
break me
You promised not to
rip my heart

You promised you'll never
make me cry
You promised you'll never
leave me

You promised not to ever break any of your promises
Your words not mine

I feel like I'm the last soul alive.
Can anybody hear me? Am I
the only drunk man on Earth?
Once we were lovers but now
you live in a shaded grave.
You always had the best.
Why won't they answer me?
Calling all stations...

farewell

KNOWER
this just may be the final piece,
I'm putting out for all to see
the time spent here's been full of peace
I've grown so much, all thanks to thee

the aim, in this was to find me
and that I have, quite thankfully
in All I've come to truly see,
we're One, combined inseparably

the best of things are short and sweet,
so please forgive these stanzas three,
someday I hope we'll get to meet,
'til then, adieu, may God keep thee

Black futures -
not a month
not a meme
not hash-tagged and gone
past in a blur.

Futures built
on the foundation of the past,
but rising past past expectations
and housing future generations
of black lives that answer back
and build better black futures.

The future's bright.
The future's colourful.
Still listening and learning.

"why are you writing
poems and prose?"
asked a guy out of nowhere
while staring at my pen

"to breathe."
I answered with a smile

for writing lets me indulge
with metaphors and similes

it is my escape
the key toward my fantasies
hey, why do you write?
