"sometimess" poems
I sneak a peek through the bullet hole in my *****
kitchen's window,
steel bars prevent escape.
I gaze upon piles of worthless junk thoughtlessly
discarded on the asphalt lot below,
where children run and play.
Momma drinks to another day's sorrows, from a
fingerprinted glass,
surrounded by the colored bottles from yesterday's
celebration.
I quietly walk to the living room
where a suffering Jesus weeps silently upon the
silver-flowered wallpapered wall,
I swear sometimess he speaks to me in a whisper,
telling me,
"Don't despair."
Arguing voices cursing the misfortunes of a drug deal
gone bad.
Break! The silence outside my living room's door.
Dungeon gray....
Heavy as steel.....
Countless locks.....
A piercing scream echoes,
goes ignored,
then fades....
I sit alone upon our dusty brown couch,
as Momma rambles on senselessly in the other room,
an alcholics tune.
I stare once again to the suffering Jesus hanging hopelessly
upon the wall,
as the night draws near and the light as dim as my
dreams?
I whisper a tearful prayer for hope,
within this ghetto's
gloom.....

Sometimes
Your enemies keep you in thoughts
more than your loved ones

happiness is a game of courage
intricate in it's strategies
straight forward in it's goal
it does'na matter if you play
with stick and ball or pen and paper
this game requires the strength of your heart
and sometimess the loss of your mind
you score according to your own gradient
some, the best players find happiness
in the small wee things, the rest of us overlook.
some search for the big score, whilst overlooking
the small golden fragments scattered about...
you can see those who are winning,
for when you look into their eyes
there is contentment, that is after all
the much sought after prize...
are ye winning today......
