"negassie" poems
every moment with you
is the greatest moment of my life
as they're made
rays of light and joy
shine on my face
out of all the periods
to exist in the history of
time and space
i existed in the period
with you
for that, i treat
this thing of ours
with gratefulness and grace
i existed in a lifetime
where you chose me
what more could i ask for
with you
i feel safe
vulnerability was once
a dream to me
a dream that could only be
pondered
a dream i never thought
could be a reality
i wanna swim in the
pool of your divinity
forever
a truest love
with passion and patience
cannot be severed
durable beyond belief
unbreakable to say the least
a love fulfilled by
deep understanding
as well as
the simplest things
the simplest things
include the fleeting moments
that we share together
but "fleeting"
speaks to the scale
of our universe's sense of time
moments hung,
suspended in the air
of the space it roams in
every moment with you
feels this way
i'm honored,
i embrace it with a grin

the cliff is steep
my legs are getting heavy
feeling weak
weekly tribulation
seething through my teeth
as i fight to the peak
the fall is long
my body’s numbing
though i’m very strong
abyss has been prolonged
i’m fighting daily
giving up is wrong
even if i can’t go anymore
the fall won’t last
for long

raise my hands and
i look up to the sky
sometimes i'm blind
but in due time
i reveal to myself
that the world is mine
black man
just trying not to
squander my time
i'm feeling fine
in this somber state of mind
gotta shake it before
the strife eats me alive
"the world doesn't dictate you"
i speak that truth to myself
it's a virtue
affirmations, reassurance leading
to my revelation
before i fall into the abyss again
those days when
those words i wrote
felt like my only friend
fending off the world's woes
until the very end
until my God sends me Home
i'll always be in defense
of my mind & spirit
bless
