Was just after four in the morning
and a full moon sails across the sky

So after falling asleep upon my bed
And not long after closing my eyes

I'm pulled to a distant faraway land
made of laughter and made of smiles

So I went to a fantastic fashion show
and sat amongst my butterfly friends

Music began to play serenely smooth
Musical note clouds floating in the sky

O'  a honeybee asks to dance with me
With me, and I couldn't help but sigh

My pen is my only friend. When imagine thoughts most couldn't think, I merge the ink with the page and release this rage. The thoughts inside this head are things a man should've never said. With my pen I can erase my fears and wipe away my tears. Tears that have been stained in a shy black kid's brain. Without my pen, society has me wrapped in a 100 pound chain. With this pen I get wiser as I get older. My pen is the sword and I am the soldier.

The Sea

The sea never did set for a journey alone
Her arms reached out to the world,
Her feet spread wide encapsulating a wider margin of earth en masse
Harrowing were her days when men visited,
Each cupping and taking turn squeezing her *******
And when they were done, they left her in the middle of the coldest of storms


It was her generosity and honesty that paved ways for her
She has been a helper and a Savior all her life
Leading the way and helping men find their lost road
But there was a dark path to her
Her dark days.
Those days that swallowed all virtues and greatest of men, leaving the innocent ones screaming and begging for a second Chance, so unfortunately they all drowned beneath the grave of the sea

Yesterday.....tomorrow
Happiness........sorrow
Promises..........­broken
Warmth.............frozen

Full heart.........empty shell
Heavens bliss....lonely hell
Future plans......hopes fade
Loves light.....eternal shade

Living a nightmare....Another day dawns
A deafening silence....learn a new song
Anger, self blame.................I finally see
Threw me away..............I'm finally free!
You are a child
Taking me above to your paradise
Embracing tightly
I  afraid of such a flight.

And you are a mother
Careful of my grooming
Chiding me often
For my carelessness
In looking after myself.

We are inseparable.

So I fear,
I should not be
Your incompetent protector
When we fall.

I feel
If accidents don’t happen
We have an excellent life.

fog
To my own dismay it seems the more I push the more you sway
Yet you still wonder why i disappear when the dust meets day
Do not be discouraged
For I will settle when the fog is no longer gray
The sun rises and falls
Yet you still wish it would stay
Everything ultimately ends, but did it truly have to be this way
Our demise was sculpted by design
Like Michelangelo's lumps of clay
With a love like your's you make this lost sinner want to pray
Don't ever ask for a thing whatever you want.....you may.
& When you're gone the sky looks sort of gray
You were the drug and I relapsed
Felt like the continuum collapsed
We've been forsaken perhaps
Ensnared in emotional subconscious traps
The outsiders in my eyes resemble gnats
Shrouded in a sea of white noise
Where true feelings sink within the void.
