Get a Clue!!!
Get a clue,
I wanna get with you,
I have a strong intuition,
that you are feeling the
same way too, but
you won't step to me,
however, I won't front,
do you wanna get with me,
or I'm not what you want???
I see you checkin,
trying to scope me out,
I got you at full attention,
trying to see what
I am all about, but
Now that, I GOTS YOU, and
It's clear and plain to see,
You're hesitant about approaching,
So, What's it gonna be???
You know that, I SEE YOU!! and
all of your clever ways,
Your swag and your demeanor,
have me hooked on you for days,
So, Instead of me just sitting here,
feeling all sad and all blue,
Are you feeling what I'm feeling???
I'd just wished that you'd get a clue

Love-Hate
Is it a crime
that I love you so much,
A Love-Hate relationship
at times could be rough,
we love one minute and
the next minute we hate,
our love isn't perfect but
we still appreciate,
It isn't the worst, and
It isn't so great,
the lovers out there, can
definitely relate,
I want you one minute and
next time I don't,
we keep playing games but
we will, but we won't,
we're on and we're off but
we won't even front,
If This Love-Hate is criminal,
then throw away the key,
It us against the world,
just you and just me!!!

These are the HANDS OF TIME,
being in a CERTAIN ERA, now
that would be SO DIVINE,
LIVING in the TIMES PAST,
would be JUST FINE!!

RELIVING a PAST DREAM,
that would only BE MINE,
OLD PAST MEMORIES that
are STORED DEEP in the
BACK of my MIND!!

In order to Visit them,
I SIMPLY TRAVEL THROUGH
IMAGINATIONS and
JUST UNWIND!!

My OLD, FONDEST MEMORIES that
have GONE FAR AWAY,
I shall never FORGET THEM,
and still think about them
THIS VERY DAY, but

The HAPPINESS they had,
has since then, GONE ASTRAY,
I SHALL NEVER, EVER
FORGET THEM, because
THOSE WERE THE DAYS,
They were THE BEST THAT
I HAVE EVER HAD, but
Things are DIFFERENT NOW, which
MAKES LIFE SEEM SO SAD!!

If I could only turn back,
the HANDS OF TIME,
It would be so nice,
TO REVISIT and
TO REMINISCE, and
NO I WOULDN'T THINK TWICE,

I WOULD GO, VISIT AND
STAY FOR A WHILE, AND
IT WOULD FEEL JUST FINE
IT WOULD BE A JOURNEY
THAT I WON'T FORGET,
IF I COULD TURN BACK
THE HANDS OF TIME!!!

The Hood
When you
FROM THE HOOD,
LIVING in a
RUNNED DOWN,
RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
When your CHURCH, your SCHOOL,
your BEAUTY SALON,
BARBER SHOP and
the LIQUOR STORE,
is only WITHIN
WALKING DISTANCE,
When the ICE CREAM
TRUCK RUNS during the DAY, and
LATE AT NIGHT!!
WHEN KIDS ARE ON
BIKES, SCOOTERS,
SKATEBOARDS and SKATES,
WHEN YOU BETTER
HURRY HOME QUICK,
the STREET LIGHTS will come ON,
HURRYING HOME BECAUSE IT'S LATE,
When it's a SCHOOL NIGHT,
and YOU have to BE IN BED by 8,
DO YOUR HOMEWORK and
MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT,
not long after HAVING DINNER,
then it's LIGHTS OUT GOODNIGHT,
Back in the Day,
MY PARENTS DROVE A CADILLAC,
An OLDSMOBILE REGENCY,
Now What ya'll think of THAT???
IN THE HOOD,
WHEN YOU GOT IN TROUBLE IN SCHOOL, and your GRADES WERE BAD,
When you had SCHOOL FRIENDS, and
ALL OF THE FUN THAT YOU GUYS HAD,
GIRLS PLAYED DOUBLE DUTCH,
THE BOYS PLAYED BALL,
PICKLES and KOOL-AID
was the best, IF I RECALL,
CHIPS and SODA,
NOW-N-LATERS,
THE TIMES WERE LAID BACK, AND
LIFE WAS GREATER,
LEMON HEADS,
BOSTON BAKED BEANS,
MR. MELON,
CHERRY CLAN, and
JOHNNY APPLESEEDS,
THESE ARE MY FONDESS
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES!!!,
IN THE HOOD, you weren't
SUPPOSED TO SQUEAL, because
SNITCHES GET STITCHES, and
that's on the REAL, REAL!!!
Back in the back day,
things weren't too bad,
IT'S 2025
NOW, THINGS ARE JUST SAD,
OH, IF I COULD JUST JUMP
in a TIME MACHINE,
and REVISIT and TALK to the
OLD YOUNGER ME, and
tell her about THESE PRESENT TIMES,
  I GUARANTEE YOU, IT WILL BLOW HER MIND, and
I WILL give her
WISDOM and INSPIRATION,
INSPIRE TO KEEP GOING, and have MOTIVATION,
I just WISH I CAN, and
I WISH I COULD,
as I recollect my youth of,
LIVING IN THE HOOD!!!

When you don't have friends,
When you are successful and you win,
When things you do, go your way,
Is also when so-called friends go astray!!

When you do have money and
they do come around,
When you are suddenly broke and
they're no where to be found,

All you wanted was
a friend to the end, but
All in return, you just
got people that pretend!!

You're the type of
person that'll go all in,
to lend a helping hand,
to a so-called dear friend,

to bend over backwards and
to try help them through, but
you could only do so much,
what more can you do???

Then THEY GET MAD and
START FEELING ALL BLUE,
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!!!"
YOU'RE ****,
YOU'RE WORTHLESS,
I CONFIDED IN YOU!!!,

You BETRAYED and DEGRADED ME,
JUST OUT HERE HAVING FITS,
THEY FEEL You're NOT A TRUE FRIEND
BUT A HYPOCRITE,
FROM A FRIEND TO FOE,
TIME TO LET THEM GO!!!

I can't believe you did this,
SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!!,
YOU USE TO BE COOL, BUT
NOW, YOU THINK YOU'RE A STAR!!

I'LL FORGIVE YOU RIGHT NOW,
I WILL NEED TIME TO MEND
AS FAR AS THIS FRIENDSHIP,
THIS FRIENDSHIP HAS TO END!!!

When you don't have friends
When things just aren't the same
When you did me wrong and
you're the one to BLAME,

YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS, and
THEY HAVE DONE YOU WRONG!!!
YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN JESUS,
THROUGH THESE WORDS BE STRONG!!!

Lost Memories
Our Love is a Lost Memory,
of the times of in the past,
of the time that we were together,
our relationship did not last.

As of the present, we've both move on,
to the better things in life
we weren't good for each other,
So, moving on made everything alright

No, we didn't regret our decision,
It was time to make a change,
to see what the world has in store
of the wonderful things it could bring

So, these may be Lost Memories, but
Remember we had some good days,
We'll Continue to reminisce on the good times,
These Lost Memories have now gone astray!!

You treated me
like you couldn't
SEE ME,
You
IGNORED ME,
You
LOOKED RIGHT
THROUGH ME,
You
AVOIDED ME,
It was so PLAIN to
SEE,
You couldn't
CARE LESS
ABOUT ME,
YOU JUST DIDN'T
WANT TO BE
WITH ME!!
I find it
INCREDIBLE,
You acted
as if I was
INVISIBLE!!
WHY DO YOU DO THIS???
You just didn't care,
as if I am
TRANSPARENT,
or not even
STANDING THERE,
But That's OKAY
I will let you BE,
and find someone
who will actually
SEE ME,
I find it REMARKABLE,
In this,
I do BELIEVE,
I will find someone
SPECIAL, and
who will
LOVE AND SEE
ME!!!!
TO YOU I'M
INVISIBLE,
BUT TO HIM I'LL BE
VISUAL!!!
SO, GO ON AND LEAVE,
SINCE YOU FELT I
MADE YOU

Just LOOK AROUND, and you will see,
Everyone else is BEING NOTICED, but
For some reason, OVERLOOK ME!!

Am I really that DULL and BORING,
Am I that FEROCIOUS TO YOUR SIGHT,
Just because I'm FAT and PUDGY,
I'm not your FANTASY or your DELIGHT???

Is it REALLY, REALLY that IMPORTANT???
Referring to POPULARITY,
Being NOTICED, ADMIRED or ENVIED, and
I MEAN THAT FIGURATIVELY!!!!

Do you want me to be your ENTOURAGE!!
Follow you around and KISS YOUR A**???
Be a PAWN ON YOUR CHESSBOARD, or
walk away with DIGNITY AND CLASS!!!

SO, WHAT!!!, IF I'M NOT POPULAR,
Who's cares, IF I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS,
Who gives a hoot, IF NO ONE SEES ME,
cos, in the end, I STILL CAN WIN!!!!

So, GO ON WITH YOUR POPULARITY!!!
Your RICHES, your HAUTIESNESS and CHARITY,
Just to make it CLEAR WITH CLARITY!!!,

My Crush
In my mind, I am too
old to be having crushes,
It takes Just one thought
of you, and my Soul just gushes,
I can't shake the feeling my heart
Just rushes,
I can't hold in my Emotions and
My face just blushes,
I get real nervous when
you come around,
the butterflies in my stomach
don't want to settle down,
I keep my composure
trying to be cool,
Just one false move will
have me looking like a fool,
I can't help myself, but
What can I say???
I won't pay him no mind
I'll just look the other way,
focus on something other than him
keeps it to myself,
cos, in my heart I can't win,
I wont tell a soul,
I'll keep it on the Hush,
I shall never, ever reveal to

Envious
Being envious is a strong emotion,
An emotion that is hard to shake,
Seeing something that you can't have,
A feeling that you can't seem to break!!

Although, you are unhappy of others achievements,
you can't seem to shake the feeling,
You are in need of letting it go,
You are in the need of Healing!!

but, sometimes that is hard to do,
You have to confess what is hurting you,
Once you let it go, than you will know,
How to cope with and Be better at dealing!!

Shower down your Sunrays

Beaming down on us
knowing that hope is still alive
The buzzing of the bee's
The singing of the birds
The power and strength of these encouraging words,
The Clouds in the sky
That are up so very High
The skyscrapers can climb
As the airplanes are flying by
What a beautiful day
feeling good to us all
The call of the wild,
Is our beck and call,
The beautiful seas,
Of the ocean breeze,
So, still and so calm,
As we are feeling at ease,

People in your LIFE
Everyone that's in
your LIFE are of
two of these things,
either there
for a LIFETIME, or
RELATION WISE
a FLING,
in your
LIFE FOREVER, or
just for a SPELL,
whatever the
LESSON LEARNED,
just remember:
IT IS WELL.
for those that
STICK AROUND,
are LESSONS in
THEMSELVES,
They will be there
for YOU ONLY, and
NOBODY ELSE,
Those that decide
to STRAY AWAY far AWAY,
JUST LET THEM GO, and
BE ON THEIR MERRY WAY,
Don't give them NO ATTENTION,
nor the TIME OF DAY,
the LESSON from this is:
  they never
ATTENDED TO STAY,
Let go of the YO-YOS,
for they seem to REAPPEAR,
THEY BOUNCE
BACK AND FORTH
AND THEN they DISSAPPEAR,
BEWARE OF THE NEEDY, just
(ONLY IF THEY ARE IN NEED),
BE CAREFUL OF
THE GORGERS, for
THEIR FORENAME
IS GREED!!!
I am ONLY SAYING THIS
to KEEP YOU AWARE,
Keep a lookout for these types
I am saying this to show,
I CARE,
THE REAL PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Will stay,
NO DOUBT,
In closing of this writing,
did I leave
ANYTHING OUT????
There are PEOPLE
THAT DO LOVE YOU,
I HOPE THAT I AM RIGHT,
These PEOPLE
are KEEPERS,
THE TYPES TO BE IN YOUR LIFE!!!

See you later Alligator,
and the Last Gator replied
with glee in his eyes,
after a while crocodile,
as they both realized,
It's been a while and
It's been quite a minute,
Since The last time they spoke, and
when the times
have been Splendid!!

It's been a while crocodile,

Good Morning,

Think Happy Thoughts
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS 🤔,
don't let ANNOYANCE
BRING YOU DOWN⬇️.
Instead of a FROWN🙁,
you should try to
wear a SMILE 😃.
A HAPPY THOUGHT
is a POSITIVE VIBE,
Your feeling so JOYFUL,
that you just can't HIDE.
When you are FEELING SO GOOD,
and HAPPY INSIDE.
BITTERNESS is out,
and SWEETNESS in.
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
that comes from within,
If you keep this up,
you will DEFINITELY WIN.
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
you feel like you could FLY,
like PETER PAN, WENDY and
the LOST BOYS, so
high up in the SKY.
You won't be able to FLY, but
you will Feel LIGHTER,
THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS,
and you feel like going HIGHER,
Hold on to these FEELINGS and
your DAYS will be BRIGHTER!!!

Musical sounds of CREATION!!

That helps to soothe
They say Music

So, Jam along with us,
GET WITH THE BEAT
You don't have
NO RHYTHM
You can't find
your GROOVE
Just let the music

Beautiful Nightmare
Terrible Dreams,
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.

A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.

So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.

A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.

What's before you,
it seems so real,
It is so miraculous
You can't help how you Feel.

A Dream that is Delighting, and
Very Enticing,
The Thought of it Inviting,
and yet very Frightening.

It brings you to the saying that:
Dreams do come True,
Then again it's a Dream,
So just might be you.

A Beautiful Nightmare
to True Reality, or
a nightmare unhinged,
You just cannot see.

A Dream within a Dream,
You are not really there,
as you are aroused and
awakened from
A Beautiful Nightmare!!!!

Stained Glass Windows
The Stained Glass windows
in the vestibule,
in the Back of the church,
of the last row pews.
Through the Entrance,
is how I come to view,
As we enter the Lord's House
Where Praises are due.
These Beautiful windows are
Out of sight,
a Beautiful view,
Bringing to us Delight,
A beautiful church,
a marvelous sight,
A feeling of Happiness, and
It feels so right,
When you are so full of Joy,
Through these stained Glass windows
Where The Sun Shines Bright!!!!

Weeping Skies
Please pray for Los Angeles!!!


The skies are so gray,
with such a dark gloom,
I can smell the rain,
I hope it comes very soon.

The air is so windy,
The Clouds are set,
Hoping Raindrops fall,
Thus far, nothing yet.

The gray Skies are ready,
Perception predicts Rain,
Of All of the burning Forrest,
I pray this in Jesus Name.

Los Angeles is now Burning,
As an arsonist runs free,
Oh, Please stop these fires,
I beg this and I plea.

As the burning slows down,
It's a sad crying shame,
From losing homes and businesses,
Lies nothing but burned remains.

May the burning start to cease,
As we are wondering why,
Lord, please send us rain,
Form so very, very High,
Form the Heavens above
Of these dark weeping skies!!!!

A Faded Memory
So, within the crowds of people and chaos,
It was your face that I vaguely remember.
I think it was in Winter or around December,
If I Recollect correctly, it was probably November.

You were walking through the Crowds, so tall and so lean,
A crafted work of art, so unreal as it might seem.
It was so noisy, that I was lost in my own thoughts.
The expression on your face, was worried and distraught.

I remember it like it was just yesterday
I was wondering if your are Okay?
you seemed to be troubled by something
you just went on your Merry Way!!

To this Day I remember,
how you made an expression on me.
I just wished I could have known what was wrong
You are nothing but a Faded memory

Step-by-Step
It takes STEP BY STEP,
You don't have to RUSH,
Just take your TIME,
POSITIVITY IS A PLUS!!!

Just go about it GRADUALLY, and
Take it DAY BY DAY,
If you keep this up then,
You will be on your MERRY WAY!!!

JUST TAKE THINGS SLOWLY,
and IN DEGREES,
Once you have ADJUSTED,
you WILL FEEL AT EASE.

It will be MELLOW and
It will BE A BREEZE,
You got it now, and
YOU AIM TO PLEASE!!!

BE COURAGEOUS and
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF,
YOU HAVE ONE BODY, and
HEALTH IS WEALTH!!!

JUST DON'T GIVE UP,
THIS IS A SLOW PROGRESS,
IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THIS,
YOU WILL ACHIEVE SUCCESS!!!!

Stop Doubting Yourself
MY FIRST POEM OF 2025,
LET'S GET IT, LET'S GO!!!!!
Your NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS IS TO:

"TAKE HEED TO THESE WORDS, and
SO WILL I!!!"



STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF,
YOU'LL be surprised at
what you COULD DO!!

There's a PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE,
HE DIDN'T BRING YOU THIS FAR
TO LEAVE YOU,
You're going through SOME STRUGGLES
HE WILL DEFINITELY see you THROUGH,
You Also have TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS,
HE'LL know just what to DO

Don't worry about the whereabouts,
who, what, where and when,
You are on the winning team,
You have Jesus Christ within.

Don't be like Doubting Thomas,
You only have to Believe,
Believe that you can do this, and
His blessings you will receive.

JESUS knows your struggles and
  he also knows your fears,
He also knows your downfalls,
Just know that he is Near

When you feel like being doubtful
Just turn that thought on around,
Put in your mind that you got this,
There's no time to bring yourself down

So, my advice is for you to STOP DOUBTING,
IN YOUR HEART, just know,
THAT YOU COULD,
You need TO GET UP, and
PUT IN THE WORK,
BELIEVE THAT IT WILL, AND YOU WOULD!!!

The creator of this "PAIN" is YOU!!
Of All that you have PUT ME THROUGH,
Just MOPING AROUND and FEELING SO BLUE,
Here FIGURING out what I SHOULD INITIALLY DO!!!

IT'S TIME to CUT THESE STRINGS,
From this, we could NO LONGER HANG,
To me, it ain't NOTHING BUT A THING,
Relasing you, ALONG WITH THE PAIN!!

It was "YOU" who CREATED this TRAUMA,
It was "YOU" who had BROUGHT ALL THE DRAMA,
A POSITIVE BEGINNING is NOW MY MANTRA,
I SENT YOU PACKING and BACK YOUR MAMA.

No MORE PAIN,
NO MORE SUFFERING and
NO MORE SORROW,
I'M JUST PUSHING THROUGH
FOR A BEAND NEW TOMORROW,

Whipsers of Yesterday
Things of Yesterday
are gone like
Whispers in the Wind,
carrying them away,
To never see the Light of Day,
To be Blinded by the Dark of Night,
To never see the Sun Shine Bright,
The Whispers of Yesterday,
Have fluttered away, and gone astray,
The voices that were heard,
The speaking of soft words,
You barely hear them,
Just under a breath,
Upon a Whimper,
is where they rest.
Whispers of Yesterday,
Are all now gone,
Now, Turning soft whipsers
into a sad Love Song!!!

Put in the Work
PUT IN THE WORK,
even if your LIFE
DEPENDS ON IT,

The MORROW of the STORY IS:
PUSH AND DON'T QUIT!!!

YES, THE CHALLENGE
can be HARD, but
HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!

YOU ARE STRONGER
THAN YOU THINK, and
YOU ARE SO TOUGH!!!

HANG IN THERE and
GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT,

KEEP CLIMBING that MOUNTAIN
UNTIL YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!

YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO
YOUR GOAL,
DON'T STOP!!

We ALL Have STRUGGLES,
we ALL have FEARS,

we ALL have DOWNFALLS,
and SHED MANY TEARS,

but ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT:
JESUS IS NEAR!!

So, PLEASE TAKE HEED and
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED,
PUT IN THE WORK, and in this:
BE ENCOURAGED!!

It's Just a Hiccup
It's just a SMALL HICCUP
If it bothers you then
Drink some water or
hold your BREATH,
Fix the ERROR,
after that
Just REST,
Don't let the SITUATION
bring you on DOWN,
Work with the GLITCHES and
then MANEUVER on AROUND.
It just a SMALL MISHAP and
it can be FIXED,
It not a BIG DEAL
So go on and HANDLE IT.
It's just a LITTLE HICCUP,
Don't get your
*******  in a BUNCH,
It'll work out SOMEHOW,
I'm just giving
you a HUNCH,
When things
GO SIDEWAYS,
or EVEN DOWNHILL,
There's just GOTTA
BE A WAY and
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!
When things are OFF and
CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN GET TOUGH,
JUST REMEMBER
there's a way and
THIS IS JUST A HICCUP!!!!

GO FAR AWAY,
MY WORRIES, MY TROUBLES
will not see
the LIGHT OF DAY!!!!
ABRACADABRA
I VANQUISH
