"wiz" poems
May 1999, on my way to school on day I saw you I wanted to be with you. On the way home, I saw you again. I saw you most days. By June, I realised you went to our school. I felt like I knew you, but I'd never talked to you. In September, you were in my class. I flet a rush of hope that I finally talk to you. In October, I did finally talk to you. Because of a science project. Your name was Mike and you were a wiz in class. By January 2000, we were good friends and did a lot of projects toghther. At the end of June, I had changed schools. I realised that I can't live without you.

I Can't Live Without You
Accuracy of your acrostic arrows, Ride the wind with utmost ease. Claiming each bulleye with poetic precision, Hands steady, unswayed by the errant breeze. Endowed with talent, unsurpassed finesse, Regarded by peers as the wise-worded wiz.

(A Daddy's Reflection) You're my pretty girl, all smiles with dimples and your hair a curl. Then I turn around and, just like that, some fella's standing on the front door mat. My little girl looks all grown up and a little too **** in that hair and makeup. She fills me with pride and not just her looks, she's sweet and kind and a wiz with the books. But most of all, I hold her in esteem because she has a good heart and Christ is her King. So, I smile, giver her a hug, look him in his eye; then say a quiet prayer and kiss her goodbye. ©1997 Michael S. Davis

The Prom
There once was a rat, a gym rat that is When it came to fitness he was a wiz. Powder and chicken was all he consumed. All of the other foods were surely doomed. Ripping, rushing, running around the town. He liked to pick things up and put them down. From his traps to calves, his muscles were ripped. Pushing and pulling, the scales he would tip. His veins did pop like pink birthday balloons. His buns resembled big-booty baboons. Many beads of sweat would drip down his face. Gallons of water he’d drink case by case. Visions of protein shakes danced through his head. Others that trained with him soon would be dead. The rat would pump iron day after day. But, out of the gym his life was astray. White tank tops, jean shorts, and sneaks he would wear. In hopes that all the fit ladies would stare. Alas poor gym rat could not catch a mate. Perhaps, a brain workout would score him a date.

For sow the wiz and for that the bliss Flee through the apple tree It is harvest times Now jam and sweet like pie Oh the bliss of a midnight sky We plied and plowed and for that the bliss Fill up a room, no one to miss It is now harvest times Us to remember the Queen of ages Don't forget to pay the wages Oh the bliss of lovers gazes Further down the deep deep blue Of ocean wonders, to remind of all the ships that went through Rough patches of ill willed weather and stormy faiths I hope we all remember that it is to Christ we stand our faith Oh the bliss of Life Oh the bliss of Faith Oh the bliss of Summers mother leaving heaps of Love on the stairs For those who not have the bliss of being sometimes missed By someone who actually cares even just a little bear lonely in the woods a quiet autumn afternoon Not knowing when winter starts or when to say hello to the moon Who to say good night, good morning or good bye When you are a lonely cub in the woods and your mama was a wish on a star.

This Gen Z Kid.. This teen of mine.. This Young Man I'm reminded..He's my final Son. This fast growing radiant dark horse runnin around under the blaze of the hot sun. Now He's grown into this tall knight champion. Radiant chilled dark stallion. He is unique admired and I'm in awe of His Being.   @Times I'd call him the hurricane.. Inwardly lays talents that can become gifted fame. I believe He hears.. That voice of God. When God calls his name. This new kinda techno son.. Video emerged.. Youtube is his tv.. This son is Gen Z! The cusp of millennials the beginnings of Generation Z. Our Norms and traditions bothers them none. Open free and caring emotional nomes.. In the virtual reality chemistry.. Chilling inside their rooms in the safety of homes. My Sons a precious commodity. What technology wiz will he turn out to be. Gaming entertaining.. mental challenging. The Sons who'll be parents to the next Generation of Alpha's.. Babies entertained by notebooks of cellphone tablets. More then societies adopted habits. Babes that are digital natives on cellphones genetic cultures. Terminology texted media exposures. Data and gigabytes.. downloads and high speeds. Swiping before being taught a first school lesson. This is the generation..Z The Digital Sons. Written by [email protected] (C)2018

My Gen Z Son!
There are too many people here. Streets are crowded with vendors and an indelible smell thickens. Buildings are painted a faint blue, or pink; they rise upwards, lofty and erratic. On the balcony of my hotel their roofs are speckled; one of every color. Outlandish art fills sun-glazed shops. Some are only twenty feet wide. Motorbikes wiz down the cracked roads with intimidating speed. I look up to the knotted powerlines strung above cluttering the backdrop of twine green trees. In the humidity, there is no fresh air. I can scarcely breathe. Here is a city impractically shaped, a different world, but the tender is coming as I descend further. In the interior is Birla Orphanage where laughter spreads. The children wade gigantic waves on the shore of Do Son Beach. Mucky water sticks to the sand on our skin. A boy, three feet tall, beautiful bright brown eyes peers into my life. I do not know his language, the most we can do is share gaping smiles as this city unfolds its secrets to me.

I never knew where she got the bones But she spread them out in the grate, And said to me that the way they fell Would tell her about my fate. I’d gone to her for the Tarot Cards, I’d been told that she was a wiz, But didn’t know what a wizard was Till I met this girl called Liz. She wasn’t a witch, she said to me, For witches were too mundane, They only had spells and love potions And most of them were insane. But she could look into the future with The bones of the been and gone, They helped to focus her visions on The land of the to and from. She spoke in riddles and teased my mind In a language I didn’t know, I asked her what I was headed for, She said I had far to go. She told me about my love, Christine, And the secret plans she bore, She wasn’t, as I had thought, pristine, But had men in tow, by the score. I asked her about the wedding that We’d planned for along the track, She said, I’d never be happy then, Better get married in black. She scattered the bones for a second time And they fell about in the grate, ‘If you go on with your plans,’ she said, ‘You’re in for a dismal fate.’ ‘There’s blood,’ she said, ‘and a kitchen knife, A terrible slashing and cries, ‘I don’t know when, but it’s after then, And a crazy look in your eyes. Then someone lies on the kitchen floor In a horrible pool of blood, And footprints there, and a tipped up chair Where somebody walked in mud.’ The wedding went as we’d always planned, I never gave it a thought, And Christine put on my wedding band She didn’t think she’d be caught. A man came round to the house one day To say that Christine was his, I took good note of his muddy boots And suddenly thought of Liz. He came at me with a kitchen knife And said that he’d set her free, I’d thought the knife had been meant for her, But no, it was meant for me. I seized his arm and we struggled then While Christine stood in the door, I somehow managed to turn the knife And he lay dead on the floor. ‘Why did you set him loose on me,’ I cried, ‘the son of a gun, What was the vow you made to me That I’d be the only one.’ But Christine cried, and she knelt by him, Her lover, down on the floor, ‘I told him before he shouldn’t come, But he said that he loved me more.’ I was acquitted for self-defence When the case came up for court, And later I found that Christine went She wasn’t the loyal sort. I went again to the Oracle And I spilled the bones with Liz, While she laid on me a gentle kiss And said, ‘It’s what it is!’ David Lewis Paget

POLAND, France, Judea ran in her veins, Singing to Paris for bread, singing to Gotham in a fizz at the pop of a bottle's cork. "Won't you come and play wiz me" she sang ... and "I just can't make my eyes behave." "Higgeldy-Piggeldy," "Papa's Wife," "Follow Me" were plays. Did she wash her feet in a tub of milk? Was a strand of pearls sneaked from her trunk? The newspapers asked. Cigarettes, tulips, pacing horses, took her name. Twenty years old ... thirty ... forty ... Forty-five and the doctors fathom nothing, the doctors quarrel, the doctors use silver tubes feeding twenty-four quarts of blood into the veins, the respects of a prize-fighter, a cab driver. And a little mouth moans: It is easy to die when they are dying so many grand deaths in France. A voice, a shape, gone. A baby bundle from Warsaw ... legs, torso, head ... on a hotel bed at The Savoy. The white chiselings of flesh that flung themselves in somersaults, straddles, for packed houses: A memory, a stage and footlights out, an electric sign on Broadway dark. She belonged to somebody, nobody. No one man owned her, no ten nor a thousand. She belonged to many thousand men, lovers of the white chiseling of arms and shoulders, the ivory of a laugh, the bells of song. Railroad brakemen taking trains across Nebraska prairies, lumbermen jaunting in pine and tamarack of the Northwest, stock ranchers in the middle west, mayors of southern cities Say to their pals and wives now: I see by the papers Anna Held is dead.

I've always aspired to be a little bit of everything Try everything once, give everyone a second chance I dreamt of making mountains from milwaukee's molehills And find prosperity and pleasure in the potholes Ask not what your city can do for you but what you can do for your city And I'll give my city a little bit of everything Befriend a little bit of everyone Some see my city as small, but it gives birth to such big dreams such high hopes A state that has given birth to my state of creativity A city that has certified that anything can happen At any second My city is a little bit of everything Dangerous like the streets as the numbers get lower Rambunctious like the fireworks at the lakefront on the 3rd of July Still  like the suburbs of Wauwatosa all the way to Muskego Freezing like Madison mid January Scorching like the city during summertime My city has made me as Poetic as Maya Angelou Brave as Martin Luther King Intelligent as Thurgood Marshall Soulful as that lady that sung the blues **** as Dorothy Dandridge in her red dress Delicate as Diana before she met the Wiz Quiet as Celie Sweet as Suga Arrogant as Ali Humble as Halle Milwaukee, the city that made my dreams.

My City
Dear Amber Rose, El pueblo unido jamas sera vensido. (A city united would never be beaten) "Half naked and I'm still not asking for it" - some crazy chick Poem begins: You are preaching women empowerment. Dress how you dress make your self feel **** Even it means wear nothing while walking in the streets. I get the motive of your movement **** Walk I guess that's what we should be teaching our daughters. But if you're dancing on that ***** pole now that's a different story. Tell us how many ***** you had to **** to make it to the glory. Hard to preach to a generation that glorifies strippers and undermines knowledge. I am so pro women but **** like **** Walk and so on are the reason we are separated men and women segregated. Your biggest concern is what next party you are hosting, while these young girls are all confused about their bodies getting liposuction. Trying to be you Trying to be you But why? when even Wiz Kalifa depicted you as an object and didn't glorify. ***** is power between the right pair of legs. Tell us how many motel sheets have you gotten wet. Such a shame our ancestors probably turning in their graves. Lauryn Hill wasn't naked and sold more then Nicki, Iggy, and Kim combined. The real definition of a role model Guess that's why you differ Since you're a *** model. To ***** licious to be a runway model. But perfect for the *** shot I want to spray up in your mouth model. Then go kiss your son with the same lips you rocked the mic model. Women rights is not about a dress code. Is so much deeper but what can be expected from a stripper. El pueblo unido jamas sera vensido. (A city united would never be beaten). El pueblo unido jamas sera vensido. (A city united would never be beaten) Sincerely, A concerned father

**** Walk
Dear Amber Rose, El pueblo unido jamas sera vensido. (A city united would never be beaten) "Half naked and I'm still not asking for it" - some crazy chick Poem begins: You are preaching women empowerment. Dress how you dress make your self feel **** Even it means wear nothing while walking in the streets. I get the motive of your movement **** Walk I guess that's what we should be teaching our daughters. But if you're dancing on that ***** pole now that's a different story. Tell us how many ***** you had to **** to make it to the glory. Hard to preach to a generation that glorifies strippers and undermines knowledge. I am so pro women but **** like **** Walk and so on are the reason we are separated men and women segregated. Your biggest concern is what next party you are hosting, while these young girls are all confused about their bodies getting liposuction.

Spark Up ***** S)
"8th March 2018 A pen found its ink A purpose found its man Art,    The mother of all that's beautiful brought me a gift A life skill that would be my passage of lift                   He came to life in unhealthy mental weathers,                     his soul was birthed in shabby unearthly waters and bound to mine in an everlasting covalence.                                                            he was given to me an agent of healing – an outlet, a living freedom;          a drain for my pain,       a gift and a curse he is a stain on the domain of my name – but I take pride in our duality, my existence paradigm was on the edge of a cliff suicidal - I lay on my back under the roof of a gloomy identity my name and my frame soaked in melancholia of a quantity that exceeds the infinite. DEAR WORDSMITH You and I Are a year older I am a decade wiser I can feel it in my hair the truth in its absolute quintessence is a universe closer. The way you hold my mind in your gloves gives me sleepless nights and faceless days but who am I to question my panacea? I promise I will make the most of what we can be. A savior, a tutor, a sage My poet, my light, my flame, my light. WordSmith_Wiz 03/08/2019

The Tenuous Connection between Me and Wiz Khalifa
v.t: to fail to fulfill the expectation, hope, or desire of; to prevent the fulfillment of (a hope or plan); frustrate A God given angel A woman of success A calming spirit A woman of wisdom Who seems to easily disintegrate my stress A role model in my life A motherly figure Once a wife What I see in her is what I dream for myself No she isn't perfect but she was right "Get your sh..stuff together! Not for me, or anyone else. Do it for yourself!" Problem is... I don't know how to do that type of **** I cant even put 2 and 2 together But that aint a shocker I've never been a math wiz Spiraled out of control once before But somehow I sorta cleaned it up At least enough to pick my face up off the floor God sent me a blessing But all I seem to do is keep stressing Her completely out The frustration in her voice is so real to me I know Im in for it When she starts the "Y'all young people......." speech She's hard on me and she keeps it real What she says, especially in her anger and frustration, I feel "I just want the best for you" "Mind Over Matter" "Your life is depending on you and the things you do" When she goes into her mother mode Sometimes, I am annoyed But at least she's not distant Like my mother Who in some areas, gave up on me a long time ago Im not the best kid But Im working on it, I have to Daddy never did I love her because she is trying I love her because she doesn't tell me what I want to her She tells me what I need to hear Stuff she doesn't know that will hit home on the inside She doesn't know her role She's unsure of her place Im usually pretty bold, the type to be in your face But in her case, I don't say what I need to say You don't have a specific place or spot For me you fit the role of a mentor, a mother, an aunt Maybe one day, I'll actually make you proud Not sure when that will happen but definitely at some point I love you with all my heart Im sorry to disappoint

Click, clock, wiz,twirl The cogs begin to hustle As they spin and swirl filling the daily bustle Moving the packages from here to there Repeating  the daily hurry Fixing them up everywhere To erase the masters worry The cogs repeating and teaching Taking them from the clutter With the powerful arms, reaching Stopping with a stutter They stuff them, paint them, move them Teach them, fight them, carve them They fill them, clutter them, rush them Shove them, push them, test them As they move the silly gifts along Making them perfect for the future It make takes years, maybe not too long To form the perfect structure And when the packages are all done They will be shipped off to the store We're they will be free to run And the factory won't be needed more

Letter to the Cruel World
This is what I gotta say Song about this rose Thought it was dream Dope in brain Medicate the soul I'm not wiz Khalifa I have to say i like like to get medicated Somewhere in my soul Let me paint a picture She was that girl You seen from far away Gone at the frat castle A diamond you could say All blue drapped all over her All over her All over her Picture perfect body Reminds me,the work of Michelangelo I'm finna take a look Take a look real quick Sky blue eyes Takes me to the sea Don't hide a disguise everything you want to be Just Everything you see Blue over the shoulder Down to her waist Wrap it up a lil bit It's in the eye of the beholder She was that girl You seen from far away Gone at imaginary palace A diamond you could say All blue drapped all over her All over her All over her Picture perfect body Reminds me,the work of Lets go with monet She know I ain't got no money Treats me like gold Met her with my buddy Sailing uncontrolled Lost in my way You could say I was hungry

What can describe
#20 | 31 Poems for August 2016 I began writing this at exactly 03:58 a.m. on a Sunday morning while listening to Charles de Gaulle to JFK by Bas. Lately I write my most honest pieces during the early hours of Sunday mornings while everyone is still fast asleep. Wonder what the view is like from Charles de Gaulle to JFK, 30 000 feet in the air. But anyway, you and I still got bad blood between us like sickle-cell anaemia. Reminiscing back when I used to be close friends with a girl named Amelia. Guess we drifted apart as soon as I moved back to Pretoria, maybe the distance dismantled our friendship. I’ve decided to do this all alone and if anyone’s coming along then let them come along. I wish I could drift way with the scent of this cup of coffee but a few minutes from now it’ll be colder than your shoulder. Always wondered if you’d head to Cape Town to go study at that school of brand leadership we always talked about. But you chose to stay at the Pretoria campus because of certain unforeseen circumstances. In 2014 I got accepted but unfortunately the tuition was too high like Wiz Khalifa and my mother couldn’t afford it. That’s why I may have the perception that dreams delayed will always feel like dreams denied. I’ve been praying for three whole years for a miracle, adjusted my faith and became more spiritual but still nothing has changed. Guess I’m just young and unlucky; my hands are freezing and my heart is bleeding. Navigated through space and time just to find the time to give you space. Words unspoken make way for a silent devotion, this whole thing hurts but I try my best not to let my emotions show. Wonder what happened, we suddenly stopped talking several months ago. Maybe you have changed, I just hope that you’ve changed for the better. I am slowly falling apart and all I can think about is gathering the pieces of my broken heart together. Maybe you have changed for the better, I guess no one works that hard to stay the same. My hands are freezing and my heart is bleeding, this whole thing hurts but I try my best not to let my emotions show.

I have shut the doors to my mind, I shut myself out          For inside my head there exists a thick darkness that seeks to engulf me.               Pain – Fear – Rage and Love.                           Shapeless monsters hiding – waiting to devour me; Now to the heavens I look, towards the enchanted skies; glittering and shimmering with cold- but warm enough to house my sullen soul. I will look towards them; and find my solace. Everlasting and steadfast, I am enthralled by you. Tales from the surface of my within, The ones I won't tell no man, I let you hear In the beauty of the night, you wink and glisten.                                                                                                                  I look up at the night sky, our eyes meet in the appreciation of devotion;   of a love between man and kind.   Enshrouded in the warm embrace of fleecy clouds; she covers my world with her glorious silver smiles;   Lady Moon, Queen of the nighttime cohort. I look up at the night sky,           and there he remains like a friendly old man frozen in his seat;   pointing the way to that may need it, his hand remains steady as he guides.   He is a lone star, shunning communion with comrades and compatriots; he shines alone, a jewel in solitude. I look up at the night sky,       they glide past on the wings of the wind like gracious phantoms. They weave and churn showing off their flexibility and volatile dancing skill;       Teaching me how to survive in a world which loves a few. The grey clouds flip and flop, they boil and bubble.       Rejoicing in the fellowship of flying embroidery;     they promise the gift of life giving rain. I look up at the night sky,   my eyes cannot see them, but yes they speak to me.     From places out of the reach of civilization;       intuition and heartwarming reassurance flow;           from matter and energy, at the bounds of space and time, from regions further than the confines of the known multiverse; at the feet of God.                                                  The black of the night and the blue of day – the only barriers shielding them from my sight; They reignite my spirit and set alight the torches of hope inside the rooms of my soul;             I know not what they are,             but they watch over me and they watch over you.   Look into the skies and you too will hear their silent voices.   Stare into the splendor of the night and commune with your inner beauty. You will be set ablaze.    WordSmith_Wiz 26/07/2018
