~ *O Painter with thy own eye                         would thee paint me in mine own natural hue prithee paint me as i am, imperfections             and blemishes true Load thy brush                       with colors sundry to maketh yond first pure sweep across the ****** frieze, fill'd with pangs of hunger. paint me as i standeth                   bethought, in deep With mine own love and mine own desire, blurring the edges unclean with mine own regrets                   and mine own mental gyre, in mine own natural age,                of deep forest green O Painter Paint me sinister turquoise, in lavender and maroon, combine the amethyst and amber blend the iceberg        and the indigo moon. Paint me as i standeth,        prithee see with thy eye a mistress in yond lady plight Prithee paint me all i am i cullionly a mistress in all yond lady might Paint me in the optimistic                              silv'r of dawn, but don’t miss the purple to shade the bruise                               of the bygone. paint me in the sky blue journal O Painter Paint me as a unique template smudge black white and grizzled merging all the colors of thy palette. col'r me a rainbow                             in a rainy drizzle Paint me tall so yond i standeth loftier than any mountain Paint me as a dram bird, delicate with soft feathers silken Paint me harmony, as a violin so yond i can sing thy solitary tune paint me as thy poetry          with song and melody wrapp'd in a cocoon O Painter paint me as a dream yond rises                                in did saturate colors with a steady upbeat flight awry tint, a fluttering              of a quite quaint butterfly Portray me with endurance imbue so bold and bright doth not hesitate                 to depict mine own mind in profound fuchsia and white. Useth the colors yond thee would borrow Thy palette not yet exsufflicate Paint mine own loss and mine own sorrow in search of a shade so ****** Adorn mine own heart in glowing garnet at which hour thee paint mine own love add a true broken blue shade of the cloud and the rain above; Study mine own dry sorrow                               in mine own soul useth any shade thee plaited soften the edges of control in a tinge of xanthene. O Painter Prithee paint me Mine own passion and mine own spirit shall has't a crimson r'd hint mine own remorse and mine own regret shall reflect an ink stain print Paint me in mine own eye so true O Painter but add a dash of courage too* ~

A tug of war It is the past experience and what was saw and felt A word in keeping a person in line A restriction of one’s thoughts and actions A procedure in holding one back ******* being a form beyond one’s accord Thank God there is a Lord There is a chance to survive More than a thought being a strive I dream but all I see is a nightmare I see effort, but when will there be preserver? Its like a road block with detour A method of turn back I feel as if I am trapped in bonds Maybe I am still sleep and need to wake up from my yond Perhaps it’s nothing more than a dream It’s my thinking I am in a movie stream But its truly tough being rough A different slavery oppression of the past with a theory of the present A overseer continuing in present oppression A silenced voice having no expression The downward bound with no mountain reach It’s time for a rebellion approach Oppression is real and not a joke It’s like an open wound with having a stinging poke Oppression is alive and attempting to do well Yet the world has a message in tell ‘OPPRESS AND OVERCOME, ITS ABOUT NO MOVEMENT AND BEING NUMB. IT TAKES MULTITUDES IN SUPPLYING THE STRENGTH, BUT ALL MUST GO THE MILES NO MATTER WHAT THE LENGTH” Survival is how you chose to live Its not a verb but is subjective The voice must always be objective Oppression cannot continue in terms in having its way The sunrise has risen and it’s a tomorrow being a new day These are the times to move forward and be strong It’s a matter of all personalities of creeds in knowing how to get along So shake whatever chains you feel you have on Stand up and be counted where you belong Don’t let any form of oppression hold you back You have grasped the concept of understanding in the theory of thinking sharp being the detailed tack Just give oppression one big smack Listen America it’s the various cultures that stack Oppression stand back as you have been defeated being a pack.

Master, have mercy. I am Master. I Have no Master. The planet is atrocious. I am It. Planet Earth is atrocious. I am It. Why is it so hard to see be yond peace? Why is it so hard to be who you want? The mind, secluded in a prison rift of copy paste makes waste. Where is my paper? Where is my pen? I write for me! I repeat as if I will soon believe. I write for me! (logging on again) The planet is horrid. I am part of It. Oh, Peace & War, do we know it. Yet with an audience, my imagination grows stagnant. The once in abstract gathers into form. I did this misdeed. A disservice. Once a dreamer. Now a journalist.

Match & Pitch: One Dead Eye
I hath walked past the windy breeze, Into thy land of fading love. What do I see? Fairies and endless sky did paint with dove. Bewildered and hath lost in thy strange land, I await thee for days and nights. Reminiscing our story in an open strand. What do I see? Hands intertwined, long and quite walks. Four years has’t hath passed in a blink of an eye, Bonded with faint whispers and a truthful lie. An untold chapter shall I recite, In amid of teen and sorrowful cries. Wake up love and whisper in mine own ear, A foreswear yond I yearn to heareth from thy heart. “I love thee my love and we shall at no time part”. What do I hear? Silence did trample by the mourning clouds.

Lost love
Shall I compare thee to the butterfly, Thou hast more beauty, more strength, and more grace. Rough winds do blow paper wings toward the sky, And an icy chill doest berate h’r face. The weight of h’r first original form: But a caterpillar, she did abhor, Brings onto h’r face a look so forlorn Alas! One day she proclaimed she would soar! With wings so frail, she emerged from her sleep, With a new body, h’r soul couldst keepeth To findeth a love so quaint and so deep, Upon my gaze, thee did take hence mine breath. I hath’t such adoration for thy soul, For t’ is mine weak heart, yond hath’t quickly stole.

A Sonnet for Her (2020)
If 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth graciously on silence's table, and studyeth mine own evolved, yet un-evolv'd self, undisturbed, unhurried, un-agitated, by w'rld's brightest gulf . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth comf'rtably on peace's table, and gaze mine own wounded, yet un-wound'd self, un-agitated, un-deviated, unmoved, by w'rld's s'rry self . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth calmly on agony's table, and obs'rve mine own painful, yet not painful self, unmoved, undaunted, unleashed, by w'rld's weirdest self, . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth fain on glee's table, with mine own eyes smiling, and smiling at myself, unaffected, unguarded, unremitted, by w'rld's unrequit'd self . and grineth backeth, at myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, twill forsooth beest a did bless, contending  miracle, as yond's at which hour i couldst pateth & greeteth myself, in real, in real, in real! and maketh this fact p'rceivable, yond our w'rld may sure oft hest struggles, and our m're existence in t, may just beest negligible, but we nev'r gotta f'rget to stayeth hopeful, smileth and giggle, nay matt'r how hard the struggles, as yond's the most wondrous fuel, yond can oft causeth miracles, in a w'rld, so obsess'd with struggles! And then with a sigheth, a blooming grineth, yet a sparkling desire within, i'll did bid myself, a farewell

If I Ever Meet Myself (Shakespearean version)
If 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth graciously on silence's table, and studyeth mine own evolved, yet un-evolv'd self, undisturbed, unhurried, un-agitated, by w'rld's brightest gulf . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth comf'rtably on peace's table, and gaze mine own wounded, yet un-wound'd self, un-agitated, un-deviated, unmoved, by w'rld's s'rry self . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth calmly on agony's table, and obs'rve mine own painful, yet not painful self, unmoved, undaunted, unleashed, by w'rld's weirdest self, . and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, i'd sitteth fain on glee's table, with mine own eyes smiling, and smiling at myself, unaffected, unguarded, unremitted, by w'rld's unrequit'd self . and grineth backeth, at myself. if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself, twill forsooth beest a did bless, contending  miracle, as yond's at which hour i couldst pateth & greeteth myself, in real, in real, in real! and maketh this fact p'rceivable, yond our w'rld may sure oft hest struggles, and our m're existence in t, may just beest negligible, but we nev'r gotta f'rget to stayeth hopeful, smileth and giggle, nay matt'r how hard the struggles, as yond's the most wondrous fuel, yond can oft causeth miracles, in a w'rld, so obsess'd with struggles!

God's thoughts are claimed unthinkable correctly by a man, but there is a way a man may, however, imagine he can. Amen. Amen? Higher than the earth, above all we can think or ask, God's thoughts are said to be, yond all a man can imagine. Yet I do, imagine God thinks, if anything, at all. In my thought, a child emerges in the midst, thinking round and round, up and down, this way and that what if some how, we think, this child in me, and I , we think Off the tight line from here to there, God's thoughts must be every where we can think, tighter up and down and all around, through solid ground and non-empty space. Minds are bubbles, let us say, God's thought are not up above us exceeding both our reach and grasp. but nearer, being here, in the bubble where we live, and move, and have our being. Seeing the never hidden is not revelation, it is ignorance, ceasing. Peace, be with us, everyone. Time shall tell if this fixed that.

I have been asked to watch a baby while the parents go out for the night Now this shouldn’t be so hard Well as the night went on All I could do was constant yond My sleep that wasn’t very long The baby needed to be changed This is where everything became rearranged When I went to take off the old diaper, there wasn’t anymore I must think quick and a solution of explore What was I suppose to do? The newspaper being all the news that is fit to wear A paper diaper beyond compare Even Luv’s wouldn’t want to share Yet the baby was still giving me a fit Moments were in what the baby was telling me I am not going to sit What was I thinking as I need to quit I sure was glad when the Parents came home I knew I wanted to be in my own place in bed alone.

DIAPER WOES
Today they lowered old Mary down, Her voice once loud was deadly silenced Her mocking tongue made no sound. Silence is a noun, silence is a noun She have never shown love old mother Mary Only pain and jeer and lots of misery I don’t remember any candies any pastries I pray for Mary, I pray for Mary I saw a dozen blue birds flying south After they lowered old Mary down Be yond the shadow of a doubt The talk around town, they lowered her down The horse-drawn carriages trot past my Ferrari I stood there like a frighten mouse Leaning against my house My eyes were teary, my eyes were teary .. ..

They Lowered Old Mary Down
Slipping free from yester's time, A Feather trapses yond the way, On wind it floats, a step, sublime, Dipping and ducking flakes of grey, Those forged by winter, the sun's decay, Plates of ivory, why must they hack? Torn soil, a relic of why you turn away, Soar away, O Feather, and don't float back. O Sea, so fair, shimmering as a chime, As the wind you switch, and you sway, And your blues shine like a dime, But if he drifts beyond the bay, Will waters claim him, as they say? Or shall he wash back, with the wrack? To you, O Sea, he mustn't stray, Soar away, O Feather, and don't float back. O Mount, your peak, the rigorous climb, At your summit, scores kneel and pray, Your caps glow white, with a grass bed of lime, If you were where the feather must stay, Shall your perils bring him fray? Must he lie in caves of black? Nay, a feather must fly, and outward he must splay, Soar away, O Feather, and don't float back. O Feather, O Feather, where will you spend your days? Here I must halt on the trail of your track, Seize the wind, O Feather, the world is your prey, Soar away, O Feather, and don't float back.

Ballade of the Feather
*21 November 2012 * We see it fallin' down like an old tower Took it for granted, all b'yond our power We never saved it, thought t’was b'yond repair But the next things took us unprepared I want to begin again, despite the worry By sayin', I’m wholeheartedly sorry For bein’ so coward and disdain I know it costed you so much pain I want to begin again, as long as it takes By acknowledgin' these simple mistakes And hope you’d forgive 'n' forget These faults are mine alone to regret I want to begin again, after all Like the first time we met last Fall T’was fated, but still feels surreal T’is heart— hope will mend ‘n’ heal I want to begin again, like this When we have no one to diss Like the last time we met in the house When all the anger ‘n’ aches arouse I want to begin again, without a clue By bein' honest, simple, and true B’cause they don’t know about us Our nightmares turn from dreams to dusts My lips tell it’s no joke to me Take a look into my eyes and you’ll see Can we do it all over again, minus the pain? B’cause I just want us to begin again

Begin Again
20 October 2011 Some things are so distant, hard to get Just like people who easily forget All through these years, little have remained Of beautiful memories bleached 'n' stained Standin' b'fore the ruins of the past Destroyed by personal desires and greedy lust Come fallin' off the ground like a raw fruit Too young to nourish, cannot face the truth I can hardly recall our comings 'n' goings together Our beginnings 'n' endings scattered somewhere Too much pretenses, void of true feelings We're sour grapes contemplatin' for lost things Stayin' or leavin' doesnt matter It's a choice I've not decided soon after This head hurts thinkin' too much Some things are b'yond recall as old love is such

B'yond Recall
What is this lodging and people strangeth Yond walketh but never see Looking as the screen doest changeth Laughing with mirth and glee And roaring beasts runneth up the roads Like dragons with hurtling and smoke Gigantic monsters with heavy loads May runneth down honest folk Just to returneth to calmer times Would maketh mine own journey pleasant I feeleth yond hither I'm out of rhymes I'm nay more than a peasant Taketh me back to times more sane The fifteen nineties art for me I cannot writeth, nor bethink, nor remain In twenty twenty three

Shakespeare in 2023
She stands by me, she stands by all of us Shielding with bright the flame of purest truth Like Thetis gainst the banes, she’s beauteous Allowing me to grow within my youth A roaming free through her prairies untamed Hued with vibrant roses as her stripes red With lakes most deep and mountains, high most famed And stars that watch over us when dawn’s dead America, the guard of all the rest Brother to the young, mother to her son An eagle soaring o’er the sky’s blue breast Daring to claim the fiery, hot sun Aglimmer with a brazen, nascent zest And bring it back and lay it in hard pride America the beauteous and bright Across the mountains folding ‘gainst the wold Across the lakes reflecting the deep sky Across the cities rimmed at night in gold Is the place where harmony shan’t e’er die America, the place where sorrows flee The land of the brave, those who charge to fight Who fight for what makes America, free Who fight for what makes America, bright Who fight against the scourge of dawning hate We are the folks who lead the world before Tomorrow, we make America great America, tis to freedom, the door America, tis to pure hope, the gate America, to the future, the tide America, the beauteous and bright In times of need, in times of woe and drear We welcomed all hapless people who fell Cringing within their dark, wholesome despair By the black feet of dark the king of hell This land is land that always share must we This land is land with laws and judges, just This land the land of opportunity This land the land forged together with trust America, the home of everyone Who dare to achieve ‘yond the mortal eye Warden of all, rebuilder of the gone The eagle who dares to the bright stars, fly Beyond where rims all space the light of sun And venture deep into galaxies, wide America, the beauteous and bright

I boarded a Greyhound bus leaving from Downtown Nashville, Tennessee Destination being anywhere Yet the Greyhound bus and Smokey moving on the Dixie line being just fine It will be many stops enroute combined Perhaps at a nearby bar, I will sip some wine One could hear the Dixie blues sound Then an added flavor of western in the background It was those Greyhound bus blinking headlights along the way As I leaned back in my seat to recline I saw my whole life unwind It was my years growing up in Tennessee A small farming town in miles for all to see Yet that Greyhound bus pushed on refreshed and not needing a yond The Greyhound bus kicked up the road dust Getting anywhere to a final destination being a must That Greyhound bus greeted the sunrise being another day I’m miles down the reckon road I have been your guide and just call me “TOLD” In a few minutes, my Greyhound bus will be turning around the bend Any destination will be asking where have you been? I covered over 200 miles, and it means our journey has come too an end.

DIXIE BAYOU GREYHOUND BUS AND ME
More than moving with a sway A walk that comes with a plan Music and dancing being the caravan A step down the great Broadway stage The captivation of the audience as they are amazed Come with me on this journey It’s the music that was composed by my Great Uncle Eubie Blake Shuffle Along is up for a TONY AWARD I am proud of what my Great Uncle accomplished and recognition gained in what he achieved This makes my heart swirl However, Shuffle Along was on Broadway several years ago, but at that time, Blacks were not allowed to perform, but that didn’t stop my Great Uncle from composing But that was history and Fast Forward into the present Shuffle Along back in the day has no step back today But today, the music that surrounds “Shuffle Along”, as it is every step with a rhythm beat and establishing a meaning of its own Dancing with coordinating feet Rhythm in music that can’t be beat A time to wake up from that long sleeping yond Broadway awaits that is something to look upon It’s a new day, and feel that today in what it has become The sun is hanging high Tomorrow not promised, but let’s be honest Dance as if it is the last Music that brings joy Pure excitement and inspiration being oh boy Stardom down Broadway My Great Uncle Eubie Blake who is no longer alive But his music continues to strive “Shuffle Along” is in no hurry, but dance until when, but with audience applause at the end Shuffle Along with music that prepares you for the ride Step out and go with the stride.

It’s the addiction to words The offspring of story ideas Feeling discouraged with being disillusioned The garbage can being a writer’s friend The pen that actually says writing on when The computer telling the writer you can A writer being absorbed in his or her own emotion An idea being a sunrise including an ocean Waves performing on the writer’s calm seas Hair blowing in the breeze A touch of calmness with the feeling of being at ease The writer reflecting on their own time piece It was time well kept as you slept Writing appreciation in what the writer felt Yet it was a situation in what the writer dealt It was that writing day and night The lamp became my guiding light It was writing being a marathon In between I had to yond When it came to writing I had to respond Writing desire with outer emotion A concept with an angle to explore It was that confidence and I had a definite sure Writing anonymous but the writer being known As a writer one must always remember they are never alone.

PREDIATOR’S HILL
A sunrise starts a new mourn It’s a wake up from sleep being a yond A decision in the start of your day You’re feeling healthy with a thought of ok But there's a heaviness on your heart A situation in turn to make its mark A split between a COOP board Voices, but no one wants too be heard Cooperators all in the middle It seems conflict sounding more like an instrumental fiddle It’s apparent to change wants to become rearrange A change to corrupt one’s mind A format of agenda’s combined But like I said, “Tomorrow casts over” A reversed agenda established through the cooperator cover The whole idea of dictatorship is over A new day of that sustaining breeze Breathing in opportunity and feeling at ease Turmoil needing establishment of the beauty of freedom Reality once lived with a new chapter to give Tomorrow has risen from endless ashes Today having a better understanding Having the governed mind with a voice forever sustaining.

TOMORROW CASTS OVER
Thou, the bequeather of this birth to death, In whom thou exhale human existence; Born from suckling to thy laying of wreath, None will exist without thine own essence. Like a winding stairway on lone twisted aisle, Ascending as stream of crystal rays unknown; From whence within every mile will worth the while, Or every turn a test to trump on its own. Through thy shadowy paths of this sojourn, Whence thy fate must embrace her scripted end; From thence thy dim at dawn from morn will mourn, When death's dark depth will be thine to descend. Why hast thou begotten thine humanity? Whom on her own knows not what tomorrow holds; Save this moment, not whence lies eternity, Waiting to unfold wonders yon yet untold... But only in thee, O' life is reality known; My past, like morning dew forever faded away, But my now I must walk and own; never to disown, To that future I'm fated to venture into faraway... And when this yond my stairs appear no more, Whence immortality becomes as reality; Will my soul, eternity swallows in her allure, Or in pain of purgatory; or perpetual insanity?

Bequeather of Birth and Death
And where drops the feet, a mild scintillation Springs in the splash of the puddle here And there and ‘yond the lawn Reaching for the vindication Of gun wrappers, ‘butts, and other Brazen trash on the damp mulch. Yet, these rains cry down with passion Found not but in the ***** of home —From very far away —And very much alone This seed of refuse, fertility yet sown Sprouts the vine of rebellious fruits Sneaking serpentine to the edge of the blazing sun Embracing the split-wood and claiming The hedge-proper its own. And though you can’t cry The world does it for you Its tears made a forest so much higher Than I; in meadows pert You’ll show me a locket Trodden in dirt, I’ll show you a flower that grew in the hurt And grows to the top, the burgeon-trees lead From one, little piece of trash From one refuse seed.
