(To the women who broke my heart)

You've seriously thinking suicide,
You've seriously want 2 die,
You're seriously want 2 take a life in your hands,
Spreading a 3 letter disease across the land.
You're seriously want to go to jail,
You're seriously serious about posting bail,
Come back some rainy day?
Seriously say what to me
Playing me like that
Then you're seriously mistaken and that's a fact.
Seriously wanna play with my heart
Tear it up and pull it apart?
Am I hearing all of this with my ears?
Seriously my dear?
Do me a favor if you will please
It's important this one task you see.
Don't mean any harm in anyway
But you can seriously go to HELL
And have a good day!

Poem #38

God--
Give me strength when I am down,
Love where it could be found,
Peace in times of trouble days,
Compassion in everyway
No matter what I say or do,
I know you will pull me through,
Tough times in days so cold.

And God---
Let me walk upright,
Morning, noon and night,
To be the best I can,
Always.

Celebrating You

to my wife Vanessa

I celebrate you---
For just being you and only you,
Keeping it real
As I celebrate you.

Now that you are growing older,
Wiser,
Better,
I do celebrate you.

For what you do
And who you are---
I do celebrate you.

A daughter to someone's mother,
A sister to someone's brother,
A wife to someone's husband
A lover and friend
To this point
I do celebrate you.

Moon and Stars

(ode to night)

I look up above my head this fair evening
And saw the slender of it all,
How the night time is formed and fashioned
And with beauty of night delightful
Bring on that special kind of night.
Bring on the night!
Bring on the beauty of the night,
As the moon shines up
And stars paly up above
So, bring on the night!
Romance in the air
Bring on the night!
Lovers are in motion,
So, bring on the night!
Delight me,
Kiss me,
Thrill me,
Bring on the night!

My thoughts on the night.

Painted Words

Canvas
Paint
Words.
Canvas
Paint
More words.
Like paint
Like Picasso's Work
On canvas
Is the art work of words
Painted
By the poet's
Words.
Pretty pictures
Pretty words flowing from the vains
Like drawing blood
Withdrawing suddenly those words.
Breathing words extracting
Words
From the very soul
Words.
Pretty painted pictures
Withdrawn
Words.

Queen of Our Heart

In loving memory of Queen Young Murray(1921-2005)

In case we didn't say it,
or express it enough to let you know,
You will be with us always,
And on our faces it does show
How we feel from heart and soul
You are the Queen of our heart.

For all you have done for us
Many thanks aren't enough to say.
For the many words expressed to us
And those funny and strange ways
But we love you for it because
You are the Queen of our Heart

Gone but not forgotten
A grandmother's love so very true.
Forever in our hearts and minds
You've been there no matter
What we've gone through.
But we love you always
Forever the Queen of our heart.

Sister Girl

to Tice, Sherry, Pat, Simone, Marieta and Ms Queen

Girls to the end
No matter what
No matter how,
We are sisters to the very end
End of good times,
Sad times,
Mad times,
Low times,
We are sisters
Joined to the hip
Even in times of trouble
Times in need
Or just being there
We are sisters girls!
