Friends, foes
and
septagons
please
afford me a word
this is the truth
yet to others
absurd
As
Freedom owns no skin
Freedom owns no land
Share!!!
this simple message
with the racist
dimension
on the oval called the third.
Life when it’s tragic
a forced similarity
Spreading like water
—flooding the plain

(Dreamsleep: April, 2022)
I  put your vision
in an empty chair
trying to make peace
when you have gone

Instead I cry to George Jones
The vibe of you makes me melt
But not so I can sleep
Puddle of emotions
Cannot be explained
You let me inhale
A trace of that vibe
And it's all I need
Just knowing you are there
Don’t play
with the real people
in your life
they really are
rare
Diamonds 💎
Or
Love ❤️
?
Purchase
Your
Love
From
Peace
And
Respect
Verbal and physical abuse is not love....it doesn’t matter how much someone (he or she)says they love you, once they start to get comfortable by disrespecting you, exit! Before things get out of hand...when you love someone, you cherish and respect that someone. I’m the type, even the F word bothers me...I am the youngest of 4 siblings, none of them can say that I used the F word toward them when I’m mad, not even when I was a teenager,  but one thing they will tell that, I keep to myself and stand up for myself! There’s a line you’re not supposed to cross.
I raise my son to always show respect to others, money cannot buy  love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered.
Dear Queens and Kings, raise your princesses and princes right and be an example to them.
Show them a peace of mind and happy you.
Alexa, repeat

You don’t know if you’ll survive today
You don’t know if you’ll survive tomorrow
You can hope that your loved ones are safe
Pray they don’t suffer and feel no sorrow
Here
Now
I shall meet you
in the middle
Even a step
or two more
if need be
Once there
let's put our differences aside
- joining hands -
and with pure motive
remind each other
what we love about us
