the humid warm air blows
as I stroll
along the beach
feeling the soft wet sand
between my ebony toes
entranced
by the rich blended hues
upon the blushing sea
as the promising glory
descends in the horizon
whilst
the strong backwash
erases our footprints
carrying strewn refuse
into the sea...
the bird flew
away
with every flap
of priceless memory
drew hues
of sorrow
as it flew
out of sight
folding it's wings
nesting on
the lantern
of death
as time
rebuilds
the eggs crack
to chirp
once more
the pain away

How can we determine our worth...
through the world
and not by the reflection we see
through words of others
and not by the  actions of me
through possessions
and not by the nature we see
through expectations
and not by the limits of me
through ego
and not by the soul we see

To be worthy is simply
To Be Me
Rain sounds stir within
My very being
Sometimes I'm scared
Like a lost child
Looking for their mother
Seeking shelter
As rain increases
So do my fears
Of yesteryear and today
Soft patters of rain.
Reminders of dancing
In the rain
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Perhaps when I'm ready
To weather the storm.
In my heart

the name,
the date,
and the man's fate.


Whatever unknown, all is certain;
that death shall pull the curtain.
I miss you
Miss your words
I find you
Find your hands.

I know you
Know your heart
I want you
Want your new art.

Do you feel me?
Feel my emotions!
Would you reach me?
Reach my affections!

You look at me
Look at my heart
Do you feel that?...
We aren't so apart!
Don't get me wrong
I still miss you.........
Since I was very young
