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Withdrawn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.

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.

A poem written for my grandma......
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!

There's a love worth waiting for,
A warm body next to me,
A love so close as close can be,
A love I surely truly, truly adore.

Those kisses so sweetly on my lips,
I still feel night after night.
The slight touch of your finger tips,
Touching me so and so right.

The way you talk to me sweetly,
Brings chills to my spine,
Knocking me baby love to my knees
Knowing that you are mine!

Sweet of sweetness I do love so
I can't wait to hold you in my arms
Just you and I letting the world know
You are my woman forever.

Forever sounds so long but I'll wait for you
And hopefully you will wait for me
Because you'll know for true
How our love will honestly be

Priceless....

If I can touch the sky,
The clouds so lovely and white
So far up and out of sight
In the blue up in the sky.

Beyond where any place to be
Or any ocean below,
Yes just under the deep blue sea
Up in the sky in the blue.

Majestic is the lovely  air,
With soft white clouds lovely
In flight upward I don't care
To come down right now.

What a lovely sight to see
Upward in the blue
Flying high and free
Somewhere up there in the blue..
Gloomy skies with dark clouds above,
Where rain was every where
And I am here lying in bed
Sleeping, slumbering into a dream
Unknown journeys of twist and turns
Then suddenly awaken in reality.

Alive thanks to God
Could of laying in my grave
But writing these verses
To someone today.

As I look out to these gloomy skies----
I am reminded of myself
Those days of uncertainty
A big question mark in life
But those questions will come later
In answers that will be answered---
In due time
Yes in due time--
Even as I look out those gloomy skies
I can see sunshine in the mist of mess
And where brighter days came and made
A difference  to others.....

I don't want to cry
Tears of pain without answers to questions asked like why?
Tears flowing like a Purple Rain,
Keeping my mind in check and not insane,
Dreaming dreams like floating on clouds,
Thinking, thinking out loud
Although it doesn't seem that way at all
But I need a hand when I do fall
Fall down, fall down, fall down
Feeling like I'm in a pool about to drown
But I remember the song that "we fall down but yet we get up"
I gotta reach life's silver cup
Because I am a winner!!!

I am a champion!
I am a winner!
I am free!

Void is the Earth with no life
There was no form thereof.
Then with His Mighty voice,
He spoke with great power
And with His love
"Let there be light..."
Thus there it was
In the beginning.

The night train moves
Quickly in the night's air
And the noise from the train
Keeps a steady beat lugging home.
I gotten a buzz of inspiration
Sweet inspiration from other poets
And their words expressed
To make me write these lines even now.

Good vibrations
Not like the Beach Boys
But perhaps more lyrical
Like Langston, Nikki, and yes Butterfly as well.
Inspired in lyrical soundbites
Feeding my very soul deep inside.
Makes me wanna hollar
Shout it to the world
I gotten bitten by the Poetic Bug
An inspiration that's catchy
To make me write like this....

Sky
Maybe
Somewhere up there
Skyward
High
Beyond the distant clouds
And stars
And moon
Maybe
Somewhere up there
Where planets hang in place
The Heavens above
Where Earth meet sky
And all in between
Of what there is
Sky.
