Scarlet shapes have found their resting place
among brunette , dew shined parcels
Golden rays speckle broomsage runways
through White Pine sentries
Country homes are entertaining with family
and chimney fires , wine and memories
Spice and sweet tea , pecan pie and dressing
Babes patter wooden floors , hearths crackle
Seasoned oak gently fills a candlelit banquet
A moment to gather and be thankful* ...

Blossom
Lying against a brick wall
I gaze at the stars above me.
twinkling, singing stars
shimmering about, gaily
dancing in the night sky.
I loudly laugh at my thoughts.
for what sane person
would think about such?

An insane person
I look towards the familiar sound
to see my nightmare in flesh and blood.
A devilish smile of promiscuousness,
his body moving with cat-like grace.
He leans his face inches from my own
commanding me with a single word, forget.
and for a little while, I did
Insane, is what he described me as. But i prefer the term, open minded.
The problem
Aint me its the system
Still got your minds hung
Lynching
Making moves everday
Just to survive  
But the way to survive
Is to thrive
On a hopeless thought
That will only bring a drought
A drought for your mind
Depression and happiness
Become intertwined
A bitter sweet to keep you sleep
Mentally and subconsciously
Wake up and smell the cafe
*** no matter what they say
There mission is to put you in harms way
To see you next to a cemetery  
Front page of an obituary
Its so hereditary its scary so bury
Your mind in books instead of looks
And once we unite
We can overcome with the fight and all of our might goodnight
I've got a new dog and she's as pretty as she can be.
She has light brown fur and her name is Marie.
She is a very sweet dog and I'm glad that she's so tame.
She is special, that's why I gave her my mom's middle name.

She is mixed, she's part pit bull and part hound.
She is beautiful and I'm glad to have her around.
I love my new dog and she loves me.
I am very lucky to own Marie.
