Bloody Skies
An eerie sight seen from inside my room
The sun settling down in a dark reddish hue
I can’t seem to look away, I’m completely consumed
It’s as though blood is in the air, from my point of view
Quickening, and not a moment too soon
As the sun meets its death for the birth of the moon

Stricken Nerves
Entrenched to the outer world
Rooted to its core
Pulsing through its inner works
So much to explore
Disrupted, to where it struck a nerve
That’s too hard to ignore
Through meditation, and conversation
In search of something pure
And after all is said and done
Who could ask for more?

Father Time
I was once a little girl
With great big dreams in this old world
Went to school and learned the ways
But never dwelled on my own age
Instead, I focused on what’s to come
And hid the tears when I felt glum
What’s your hurry, what’s your rush
Can’t you see I’ve turned to dust
Stuck inside a broken shell
Fragile to the touch
Years of life show their wear
Whether a pauper or a millionaire
You can’t hide from Father Time
But try it, if you dare

Footprints In The Sand
The love between a woman and a man
Fades away like foot prints in the sand
Lost, but still in high demand
Are fairytales that never work out as planned
Bright days and lit up nights
They’re beautiful like castles in the sky
But dwindle into rubble by and by
So why try
When beauty is only beauty in one’s eyes
And it’s gone before you even realize

The Final Score
There’s a spirit overflow
In the valley of the dead
Waiting on an invitation
Into waiting arms overhead
Angels sent to guide us
Releasing us from earth
Our value not exceeding
Our true intrinsic worth
In tune with the here and now
It took infinity to search
What seemed like a disaster
Culminating into birth
Then an entire lifetime passed
We grew tired and needed rest
We wrote down all the answers
We’d formed up in our heads
Which led to just more questions
As to the reason why
But got back no responses
No matter how hard we tried
So we settled on a conclusion
To always give our best
And check to see the final score
Of life’s last and grandest test

The Explanation
Trivial

Trivial

Nothings unexplained

So many times I’ve asked how?
Before I realized there’s a way.

So many times when people, have left me in dismay.

Overcoming fear; being unafraid

All of those unhappy, until they made a change

No longer getting hurt, when we stopped to ease the pain

No longer getting wet, when we step out of the rain

Overcoming obstacles; getting out of our own way

Not putting off tomorrow, what you can do today

Giving others credit, without throwing any shade

Taken from the wild, in order to be tamed

Building up the courage, to set aside the shame

Content with who you are,
Instead for seeking out false fame

All can be explained

All can be explained

My Bag Of Tricks
My bag of tricks


I reached into my bag of tricks
Hoping that you wouldn’t miss
The grand finale
Kissed on lips

But I wasn’t needed
So I got dismissed
I tried to walk
But, I was tripped
Luckily, I got a lift
Right in to
The dark abyss

I got a warning,
To cease and desist
When the ruling came,
I was not impressed
Breathing heavy,
Feeling stressed
I closed my eyes,
I needed rest
I hope someday,
We can reminisce.
On all of this
On all of it

Danger Zone
With her wings and lofty goals
She measured all her cons and pros
She set her sights to the unknown
And took off to towards the danger zone

Without remorse; devoid of fear
She leaped out of the atmosphere
To reach the stars, to commandeer
What eluded her for all these years

Stay If You Wanna
Everywhere and anywhere that I choose to be
There’s a whole wide world of problems waiting for you and me
And if I find the answers to the questions that I seek
I can afford the knowledge, but knowledge don’t come cheap

So, come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

Obstacles won’t deter me
Words are just there to speak
The voices inside my head
Are always running on repeat

I won’t back down to no one
The promises I make I keep
I don’t shy away from danger
At any given moment, I’ll take the leap

So come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

You know I’m not your savior
I can’t protect you from me
Don’t harbor any resentments
I’m just fulfilling my destiny

I won’t resort to violence
I just need space to breathe
It’s all about perception
And missed opportunities

So come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

Leave if you wanna leave
Stay if you wanna stay
Love who you wanna love
Just stay the hell away from me

The Sparkle
A sparkle in each other’s eyes
A glimpse of what’s to come
No matter how hard we try
It’s not for everyone
Seeking out what’s best for you
And what’s best for me
To live out the rest of our lives
In good company
Kiss me while we’re waiting
Watch my heart burst out and bleed
It’s only for a short time
Catch a glimpse eternally
Catch a glimpse eternally

Not to worry; I’m in no danger
As I drop down to my knees
Deaths just around the corner
For the rest of my eternity
Shed no tears, it’s only natural
There’s no hurry, there’s no need
I only hope the pain subsides
I think we could and would agree
I’ll just stand here and snap my fingers
Sustain my own philosophies
As I gather up the courage
To come to terms and find my peace
To come to terms and find my peace

I Never Pick Up
When the phone rang, I didn’t answer
It was because I had nothing to say
I didn’t want questions
Or nice conversation
I just wanted to be left by the way
To be put aside like a book
Are you a pawn or a rook?
Do you steal hearts like an infamous crook?
Do you get jealous?
Sometimes overzealous
Or are you just hoping that someone will look?
I’ve got good vision
I’ve been sent on a mission
I’ll slay the red dragon today
I’ve been given my rations
I’m filled up with passion
And I’m not even the least bit afraid

Easter Glee
Colored eggs hidden about
In crevasses and nooks
The Easter eggs are colored bright
So you’ll know just where to look
Bunny ears and baskets
As children run with glee
The resurrection of Jesus Christ
Since the Romans at Calvary in the year 30 AD.

Status Quo
Palm to God to receive
His blessings in our time of need
Let the light shine down below
As a gift thats been bestowed
Free us from our prisoned homes
And let that be our status quo

Past Loves
‪The times were tough‬
‪He’d had it rough ‬
‪Falling in and out of love‬
‪Until one day he’d had enough‬

‪He had hoped that his hard times would end‬
‪That his past loves he could surely mend‬
‪Instead, he took a walk around the bend‬
‪Never to return again‬

Irrelevant Relevance
Every day is lost or spent
Immersed in fear and discontent
Struggling with my own defects
Despite my irrelevant relevance

I mask my fear with intelligence
My smile is of no consequence
It’s meant to shade my past regrets
And to hide my lies in self defense

There’s no clue or evidence
To prove of my benevolence
Just remnants of my ill content
To shoulder my indifference

I’m in danger from the elements
From years of all my recklessness
That’s why I’m so hesitant
For discussion or my sentiments

No sabotage or parlor tricks
I’m in the game, I’m in the mix
I couldn’t be more direct
I’m destined for the apocalypse

If you can’t hear, me read my lips
My moves have grooves, it’s in the hips
I had it all but lost my grip
And ended up with fingerprints

Mountain View
Mountain views and skies of blue
The reflection in the water, too
Trees that make the forest just
Shades of grey and orange rust
Tranquil to the senses touch
Where air is bold; somewhat robust
That’s my heaven, there’s my call
Deep into summer, spring, and fall
28 · Apr 2020
Fury
Fury, resistant of the realm
Order is self-evident
But not to overwhelm
Survival, restricted to oneself
That no one should have to endure
And sit upon a shelf
To be free, or in anarchy
One must come to terms
With their value, their own self worth
For their time here on earth

The Vanishing TP
Toilet paper dwindling
Not enough to share
No longer is it within my reach
To wipe my derrière

Toilet paper is most craved, an object of desire; you need three yards on curry night when your backside goes on fire.    

If no paper is available
I recommend you spritz
Because no one likes a ***** ***
After someone.....

Legs to Run
I’m weak,
Stricken with concern
Health is underrated
Dropping one by one
Into Oblivion,
My shoulders weigh a ton

Breathing in the air
Breathing in new life
Head is spinning
Blood cells thinning
I’m not having too much fun

Night turns into day
A notch up on the post
Sleeping my time away
Sleeping more than most

Waking up at nightfall
Rest the setting sun
Chasing after every dream
Without the legs to run

Standing at the starting line
Listening for the gun
So that I can begin
The race before it’s done
26 · May 2020
Hearts On Fire
Hearts on fire
Warm desires
Melting in the flames
Sending it out to you; my love
Hoping you feel the same
Arms wide opened
Words were spoken
Waiting to be obtained
Dropping down from high in the sky
Like passion in the rain

My Salvation
I found my salvation in paradise
Sitting in sand under trees
Overlooking the ocean at sunset
My heart washed away by the seas
I’ll never give up or surrender
And I listen for soft melodies
To lift up my spirit from nothing
And to forget about old tragedies
My actions came under some scrutiny
So I got up and started to leave
It was then I remembered my mantra
Which helped put my mind back at ease
Never give up or surrender
I’m sure everyone would agree
That this is indeed a good mantra
And this is the right way to be

Rain Before The Storm
Someone told me long ago
There’ll be rain before the storm
I didn’t know how far they’d go
To tell me I’d been warned
Then something caught me by surprise
I didn’t even realize; the truth
That the sunshine had broken through
It was shining down on you
The way it glistened on your hair
It was to me; so unfair
How something so beautiful and rare
Had evaded me for such time
You were so fine
It blew my mind
Then we gently brushed our skin
It was the beginning of something;
I was so sure
But then you turned away and walked out of the door
But I just had to know your name
So I ran after you to explain
And express to you what was on my mind
I asked you to accompany me
You smiled at my bravery
And were smitten by my charm
All the rain went away; and I was warm
It was the sunshine having its own way
And every day since that day;
I’ve felt reborn
Maybe it was the rain before the storm;
It’s hard to tell
For in love with you; I fell

Suffocating Humidity
Sitting at home alone tonight
When I could be airborne taking flight
I wish and wish with all my might
I know one day I’ll see the light

Thirsty on the desert sand
Water highly in demand
Listen to the Lord‘s command
Take me to a far off land

Suffocating humidity
Steam rising from the streets
Dismantling all of my impurities  
I never meant to keep

The rain, it falls from high above
Cloudy, like my brain
But I’d rather not speak of it
If it’s all the same

Festering like a bee hive
Danger to the queen
Swarming like the honey bee
Yet, I still feel it’s sting

Healthy and appealing
The pleasure that it brings
Is it worth the cost
For all those without wings?

Sweet, yet unrefined
In its purist form
Coagulated syrup
Natures unicorn

Memory Lane
He took a stroll down memory lane
Reflecting on his years of pain
What it taught him; what remained
What to do to make it change

He was utterly confused
Beaten and abused
Danger close at every stage
He had nothing left to lose

So he walked away
To make a life in his own way
He could start fresh tomorrow
But he’d rather start today

Tears In The Rain
Just like tears in the rain
Our feelings get washed away
So no one knows how we really feel
And makes our world seem gray
Sometimes we just need something
Sometimes we just need someone
To pass away the day
To see things in a different light
And in a different way
22 · May 2020
Nature
Flower petals blooming towards sun drenched skies
A fawn eating grass on the knoll

Birds singing their sweet melodies  
Chirping at your soul

Trees of green and yellow leaves
Flourishing, and bearing fruits

Squirrels chasing after one another
Having their disputes

Lush tall grass scour the plains
In the distance, an owl hoo’s

Rocks on streams
Along its edge
As the wolves await the moon

A foxes curiosity
A ****** builds a dam

The butterflies dancing in the wind
The land devoid of man

All of nature moves in sync
Like an orchestrated band

A secluded paradise
Untouched by human hands

Imagination
You can go where you want to go

Leave your worries all behind

You just have to let your imagination show

In the corners of your mind

Whether young or whether old

You might be unaware

Just free your thoughts because you never know

The adventures you could share

Gods Prying Eyes
If only you knew
Spent a day in my shoes
Then you’d have a clue
Of what I say and do
It’s a valuable lesson
One you can’t learn in books
It’s real and it’s vivid
And it’s swarming with crooks
So you must stay evasive
Put on a mask, a disguise
So that you’re invisible
From God’s prying eyes
Let’s go, let’s move on
That’s just how it goes
Weighing my options
The cons and the pros
In hopes I find balance
From the highs and the lows
I’m not too embarrassed
To leave myself exposed
Exposed to the hatred
To the critics, the judge
And still, I stand tall
Unwilling to budge

Weightless
Cast aside your worries ‘till they’re weightless
Do not breathe life into all the things that die
Some things can only scratch the surface
So spread your wings and teach yourself to fly
Lift your head so that we may see your smile
I’ve been blinded by the twinkle in your eye
Cast aside your worries ‘till they’re weightless
Then open your eyes that are bluer than the sky
17 · May 2020
Magic Wand
There’s thoughts of you throughout my day
Subtle reminders now and then
It makes me smile and for a while
My heart seems on the mend
I’ve been hurt; like we all have
The pain seldom ever leaves
When memories rear their head
From promises believed
Your situation in modern day;
There’s just no way I can contend
From a once devoted love of loves
To a now distant friend
Our window of opportunity
Shut so very long ago
And now under lock and key
Given everything we know
I’ll cherish those days of past
Our connection and our bond
And I’ll reminisce of our days spent
When I waved my magic wand

Bring Peace
Let’s bring peace into the world in which we live in
Hate just causes more hate amongst us all
No more bickering and forgetting all your morals
Or like Domino’s, each one of us will fall
Blink your eyes in the morning when you’ve woken
Feel the warmth that’s hidden deep inside
Do not pass your judgment on to others
Instead, follow the instructions of your guide
I write to rebel against silence
With words that are chosen by me
Putting my pen to the paper
I spill my proverbial beans
I tell all with no hesitation
My secrets are blood on my sleeve
If only to rage against violence
And live my whole life comfortably
But the times make it harder to do so
With all that I hear and I see
Thousands of innocent dying
By wars being waged overseas

— The End —
