Gangs came recruiting
Stirring up trouble
Our lives were a gamble
Lets run away
We moved south to Kentucky
Home-town got ******
Our home was unsafe
Childhood memories vanish away

We watch the news
& settled down
Saw people dying
All in the streets
Was once was Paradise, now turned into a ghost-town
Meanwhile,

Gangs came recruiting
Stirring up trouble
Our lives were a gamble
Lets run away
We moved south to Kentucky
Home-town got ******
Our home was unsafe
Childhood memories vanish away
We were just kids from the south-side of Chicago
Blessed by the grace of God to quickly escape the gang life

I can’t shake this feeling that I’m having…

Chemistry is warming my heart inside…

Try my best to control these temping urges…

But your energy gives away those vibes…

And I know that sometimes I’m shy.
Cause your love I can’t describe.
If I gave you a chance to blow my mind.
I know you’ll keep me safe & satisfied.

I can’t have you, please excuse my manners…

Expectation can’t make this sacrifice…

I have to go, I know you don’t want that answer …

Maybe I’ll have you in the next lifetime…

And I know that sometimes I’m shy.
Cause your love I can’t describe.
If I gave you a chance to blow my mind.
I know you’ll keep me safe & satisfied.
I truly want you bad
But we both know I can’t stay  
So, this is my last goodbye
xavier thomas Apr 2021
Listen baby,
I can make love to you so good,
You’ll turn into powerful woman today.
If I have that ability,
I expect the universe to share that same energy.
Then I become powerful today

If I want you, if I want you now
Will you give me, will you give me the chance?
If I want you, If I want you to show love
Will you give me the greatest version of you?

You give away, you give away the greatest peace boo
You give away, you’re giving the greatest peace boo
So good to me

Listen to the rainstorm and it never felt so calm before
Listen to the rainstorm smooth as you
Listen to the rainstorm and you’ve never felt so good before
Give away something that’s peaceful boo

You give away the greatest peace boo
That’s why I’m choosing you
You give away the greatest peace boo
So good to me

I enjoy every moment of you
So wash me in your rain
Anything you want me to do
Just don’t let me wash away

Listen to the rainstorm and you’ve never felt so calm before
Listen to the rainstorm, you’re so smooth
Listen to the rainstorm and I’ve never felt so good before
Give away something that’s peaceful boo

You give the greatest peace boo
It’s why I have to choose you
You give away, just giving the greatest peace boo
So so so good to me

You have a valuable heart
Every time, I know you’re way too good for me
Every morning is forgiveness,
every night you have me reminisce
Will you give me the chance?
Will you give me, will you give me
The greatest version of you?
xavier thomas Apr 2023
Listen
This show is formalistic
Stones cleansing your soul, stepping away from you now
Cause you’re growing apart

Friction
Between us burning peace into pieces
You have issues that needs attention for now
Cause I’m growing apart

Grown living miles away
Growth unfolds in how we pray
Growing up from our old ways
There’s no one to blame, no
No

Grown living miles away
Growth unfolds in how we pray
Growing up from our old ways
There’s no one to blame, no
No

Tension
Trust no longer comes into existence
We should rule out priorities right now
Cause it’s growing apart

Leavin’
Mistaken my intentions with threaten
This relationship is way too defensive so now
We’re just falling apart

Grown living miles away
Growth unfolds in how we pray
Growing up from our old ways
There’s no one to blame, no
No

Grown living miles away
Growth unfolds in how we pray
Growing up from our old ways
There’s no one to blame, no
No

Police brutality is a huge factor
Continue to move forward & never look backwards
I pray for loved ones in 2020 that we lost
Fighting for equality like me no matter the cost
Police tells us nobody is above the law
Yet kneeling on your neck, staring you down as if they’re God
My weapon is my fist & my 45
I assure you I will protect my family & what is mine

Police brutality is a huge factor
Killing blacks one-by-one like we don’t matter
Rioters riot while protesters are beaten in the news
Cops speak in codes, waiting on a signal from their superior just to execute
Trying to survive 2020 dog, somehow
Praying racism will be gone so our color can bloom now
Being black in America is beautiful in my eyes
Keep chanting “BLACK LIVES MATTER” no matter what, & everything will be alright

There's really not much to say
About the Kings who were born to raise.
Carry the weight on their shoulders
Face their problems face-to-face
Instead of running away.
A King stays at its palace to figure things out with their Queen & pray;
They're about action, not words, providing for their family every day.

I'm talking about the role models:
Big Brothers
God Father's
Step Father's
Father's
Wisdom builders
Who do it for the love for the children.
The men who faced F.E.A.R. in the eyes standing tall
and didn't accept failure when they fall.

Just the Fellas

Lady, Queen of moonlight
Let’s just dance, in the starlight
Won’t you stay, till the sunrise
Cant you see, I’m your sunshine

Lady, stuck on my mind
I can’t let you, out of my sight
Have my love, in this lifetime
Give your all & your truth
Then you’ll see our future in my eyes
xavier thomas Sep 2023
Hey,
Dear Father-
Thank you for waking me up this last morning.
Apologies for the delays, times been hard to
void some distractions, dear father.
Not enough time to gather these thoughts, however,
this day, I have to

Dear family- Just missing ya.
Saw the new addition,
it’s another little baby.
Congratulations.
Pray this one will succeed through their dreams with no complications.
I think it’s a blessing.
The way you all raise your kids,
new gen, from ignorance
hateful people who were hatin’.
Toxic traits wanting us to fail & fall off
from the village tree we created.
But before it was my time to leave,
I memorized the past for myself.
Flashing moments or two rewinding
between the fun & hectic scenes of life building & laugher.
Too much for one’s mind…
It’s been a-lot going on…
You can read the hidden messages in all of my poems.

Life was doing me wrong…
Humans were doing me wrong…
Final days, life & death, was knocking right at my door.
Wrote letters to encourage others to hold on strong.
Be thankful for the man above, his life, his voice & gift of passionate songs.

Jude 1:20-21 brought out those tears,
Having me grateful each time I read it.
Cause I kept crying
off so much when I accepted God kids.
And I don’t know what it is.
But along the way , I became sensitive
beyond than I imagine.
But never mind that, I’m fine, I’m sending this message with kisses & hugs
In hope you all smile.
Live a better life as I protect you from above.
Less you hurt
The deeper you love
More you show
the full is your cup.
Picture an organic hug
releasing all of the pressure or problems occurring in one’s mind
Sending love waves of energy.

Please hold each other down
Y’all carry the crowns
You ever need me, just pray & I’ll request from above to be present & show up
Until then, I’ll rest in power
I’m gone
Talk to me & I’ll show you my love

She placed me as her best friend.
Finally pulling me out of her “friend zone” because she failed to grab the man she really wanted.

Up early to a blaze pink sky & the 1st day of Gemini season

Heat running through the body, mind, & soul

Bright colors begin to shine outside

Fans work out the warm air

Swimming in a pool of sweat

Nature is singing, radio is playing R&B tunes

Drinking sweet grape/cherry Kool-aid juice

Enjoying the summer madness
xavier thomas Jul 2018
Hmmm….

The obvious was there
Charms in the palm of my hands
All a man could do was just stare
Visualizing a quick glance

Beauty I saw, in the distance
Filled with intense curiosity of how our lives collide
While hiding my feelings about one’s existence
I tend to set aside my love, due to my pride

Secrets after secrets
Not realizing you may like me back
Secrets after secrets
Views of your looks; can’t help myself being side-track


Love rain is what I call it….

Small drizzles of kisses,
Heavy thunderstorm of making love,
Wind blowing sweet smells of rain drops,
Only to look down into the puddle of your reflection

Sense touch from the rain
Texture of sweet taste on my tongue
Soft sound, showers pouring down  
Smelling fresh air
All to be seen through my eye

Her Nature is all around me

Listen,
I still have deep feelings for you.
But I’m not gonna be chasing you.
I refuse to be your puppet that follows your every move out here.
You blew your chance when I gave my all in the beginning.
You played on that. You broke that bond.
It’s your fault why I don’t love you the same, my love.
And yet, I’m willing to give it another shot
for redemption.
I just need you to open your eyes.
You know I’m more than a “good man.”
Stop running game. Stop running this race.
xavier thomas May 2023
Internally I blame self-consciously self-inflict imaginary damage to lower my bright soul into a box
externally unconsciously making
my body sick
blaming other elements
around me
as seasons change
When I think about it,
I replay your words
I shouldn’t have to answer to
knowing truthfully I did nothing wrong to make you think I’m untrustworthy or that I’m a threat.
But because guilt exist,
It causes me to think I actually did you wrong.
xavier thomas Jan 2020
I strive off struggle & determination to create success.
My craft is so unique, it performs greatness.
My intelligence is sharp
Wisdom is astounding
Through God's gift,
My sacrifice for my love ones change their lives for the better.
But one thing's for sure though...
As I stand out from the crowd,
I am Magnificent
My legacy will forever ♾
Take Note
xavier thomas Jan 2020
I developed from being a young man,
And evolved into a grown man.
Life of happiness and prosperity in abundance of wealth,
Lifelong improvement of my health.
Stay on time paying bills ,
Being one bad brotha that can cook on the grill.
Place faith in this house,
Provide for my lover, so I have to make every moment count.
Instead of going out on weekends to get drunk or cross faded,
I stay home working on poetry,
focus on meditating on top of meditating.
~Forever King

I can’t wait
For all the love to come

I can’t wait
I’m thankful for your mercy & that your “Will”, will be done

I can’t wait
To glorify Jesus for my sins, paving the way as your son

I can’t wait
To meet you in person in heaven, as we chat one-on-one
Question:
They say you’ve already given us the answer to our questions.
So how come it takes a long time to see that?
xavier thomas Jul 2020
I give her love with the protection & wisdom I carry

I chase after her consistently as if it’s our first time meeting all over again

I carry her flaws on my shoulders to show that these are my flaws to

I help her seek God when darkness attacks our light

I love her shades of brown skin because Black Lives Matter

I held her hand in marriage, & propose this ring that symbolizes “Till death due us part”
I'm Ready
xavier thomas Sep 2023
when I first met you,
I thought life.
when your smile came,
quantity and quality balance
when we proceeded that kiss,
there was belief.
when intimacy came & finished,
it was partner & commitment.
when that ring was given,
intentions form a priority bond.

Just mine.

So now that you know how I feel.
When do you want me to come home?
Dear Love,
my sunshine that wakes me up early every morning
to let me know
a new day has come.
my hope,
in one day,
a graceful opportunity comes for us
to move towards
blessings upon blessings
from the most high
that protects us.  
my treasure
I found
one man once lost
with low morals
blinded in the naked eyes through sorrow values.
xavier thomas Apr 2022
How long are you going to
penalize me for your past
that I had nothing to do

I’m not a “yes” man- your ex did it, not me. I’m not him

I’m not a “yes” man- I’ll tell you hell no real quick

I’m not a “yes” man- no means no

I’m not a “yes” man- Nor a mind reader. Can’t read someone’s state of mind

I’m not a “yes” man- Pout, shout, don’t get your way, don’t faze me

I’m not a “yes” man- this is not a fantasy this is reality

I’m not a “yes” man - I’m a caring, easy to talk to, understanding man

I got you as long as you got me....

By this title, it got me trippin
Being around you has got me lifted
I just ran into a lot of wrong women with right intentions.

**** is like therapy: with you listening to me tell my story
Guiding & reminding me that it’ll be okay like it’s your territory
Kinda like love when it don’t change nor never shows it’s boring
Let me speak to the heavens, and tell my favorite glory

Because I want....you...

I’m sure you heard some rumors about me, but they ain’t true
You’re living good , yet it gets better whenever I’m with you
Geeked up when you smile, with those dimples, yeah they’re cute
You’re the only one im focused on, just being honest, so please excuse

You got that brown skin, Real hair, mix culture, independence down
How about we get together, travel around and go for rounds
Folks can try and catch our attention, turning it upside-down
Which will never happen, so don’t focus on the background

So when you get this feeling, you know to call me
Anime, childhood, Chemistry, I think we both can agree
You’re the woman that’s my taste, it’s too saucy
And If they ask you “ who you with?” , just know it’s all me
xavier thomas Jul 11
My father of lust
Walking in sin like a plague.
Generation to generations,
Tasting different flavors of women as if they were like candy.
Lick one, bite one, crush another, **** another, wrap up your favorite
one back in that wrapper
to save for later.
Spreading your seeds without protection
across the nations,
populating the land like wildfire .

Papa is a freaky rollin’ stone.
An inheritance of your gift
being the middle child,
banking on hope I can even control these urges.
Self-discipline / Self-love of respect
for myself
by myself.
I’m just trying to navigate my way on the right path
yet, I find myself almost lost
falling in a pool pit of ****** tension

How much more challenging for black man, himself?

Just like my father,
Like father like son
Just like his sins
Like father like son
Just like just cause
Like father like son

I’m the man now trying to change
xavier thomas Jul 2018
They hide in the shadows, constantly racing.

Never to be seen, killed, nor destroyed;
However, only heard of in numerous stories

Blinded by the naked eye,
By the lies of hate,
By the jealousy of want,
By the nonsense of love.

Such wickedness in the depth of dark thoughts.

Madness of harsh words spreads
Like wildfire, firecrackers shooting
High into the stratosphere.

Charging at lightning speed
Only to burst out, creating loud
Roars across the sky.

Whenever paths
Cross, it’s a brutal fight!

They are savages and must be stopped…
Nonsense must end…

The gossipers might win the battle
But the truth-tellers will win the war.

All eyes are on you.
xavier thomas Dec 2022
In bed I look at you
Wonder how you’re mine
Unrivaled magnificence
Support you always provide

I always feel at home cause
You’re soft like winter when the snow falls down
Gentle like the warmth, your
touch excites me it electrify, the
love gives me life.
Press upon my skin, your
cuddles brings me hope, love
you from the outside-in

Dear love you have
always been gracious
addictive bad habit of my love
fire and desire  
in every way you are.
And all night I want to show you
and all night I’ll give you more
fire & desire
in every way you are.
xavier thomas Jun 2021
Would you like
to come in?

Then check out
in the morning

It’s not my job to clean up your past issues.

You may not understand every poem that is written
Or the message they send.

So appreciate the art, story tellers, fictions, struggles, good & bad times-the life of poetry.

Because each poem, including this one, has something to give.
Enjoy you life-- always

She dance for me in my T-Shirt with her Victoria’s Secret lingerie

She move closer & begins to whisper...

--“Tonight, let’s me & you have a private party. Be the Director & make this movie.”

Who knew that she would mess with a Chicago kid from the south side of Harvey.

After tonight, we may end up together with strings attached .
Own it

One moment I’m happy, next moment I’m sad.
One moment I do something good, next moment I do something bad.
One moment I wanna laugh, next moment I wanna cry.
One moment I taste victory! Next moment I face defeat.
I write this poem being true with what’s real; however I try to make it relatable & sweet.
In this moment I am confident, but five minutes from now I’ll be back to my true self.. shy.
Today I’m feeling skinny, tomorrow I look fat.
Im ready to do something productive; next thing you know I’m in bed on snapchat.

In my last moment, I dream of being already rich with friends, heading to the islands.
Or giving back to my family & the community watching everyone happily smiling.
But reality brings me back into this world, thinking it was surreal or so it seemed.
Now I’m in my apartment waking up like, “**** it was just a dream.”
xavier thomas Dec 2019
Back in 2007:
I understood everything that day.
You gave up your custody rights for me to live a better life outside of Chicago.
Greatest, yet,  most heartbreaking moment of our lives that you ever did for me.
It got me away from the gang life
And I thank you for it every day through prayer.
Because without that sacrifice,
I wouldn’t have became the man I am now....
I was 12 when this all started.

2008-2019:
From a far distance
You watched me grow up under another roof.
My shyness faded
While my character began to blossom.
I learned to express new emotions
Expand my vocabulary
Use my kindness to create relationships
Battle my sins, demons, as well as my own identity
Expanding my mind & soul.
Nevertheless, your baby boy survived.

But the truth is, I never see you anymore.
There hasn’t been a handful of times you came down to see me vs me see you
I felt a lost connection between us.
Those random days/ nights I needed you physically, not through the phone.
Is it because you couldn’t raise me like you wanted?
Maybe it's because I look like my father?
Or maybe it’s because you prefer to start living your own life now that i'm grown.
Which you deserve 100%
I wanna see you happy always.
However, my only wish is too see you more often.
That’s all....
xavier thomas Nov 2019
Tell you daily, how I love you right now...

Jesus sent me to you, show my love through my vows....

Finally found you my rib, life’s complete, there’s no doubt....

Tell you how much I took a leap out on faith, my heart just beats for you.
So many words it’s hard to explain, so I rather show you.
Tell you how much I took a leap out on faith, my heart just beats for you.
So many words it’s hard to explain

Tell you, baby, how I love you right now...

You’re my precious light, spiritual aura presence is perfect...

Through all your flaws, your soul has already been accepted...
Our Vows

Love disease
xavier thomas Jan 2022
-The modern day is poor as people continue to act wild
-Lack of accountability been running rounds
for miles
-Marching marathons in remorse for awhile
-Watching expectations come up short as it starts to pile
-Its been a long time that its been a good time now
-Happiness is hard to be found
-Life has emotionally been roller coasting in the pandemic trials
-And time is racing pass the finish line, hoping to make this life count

-I talk pro about growth cause it’s important to me
-But letting go certain habits is a con i’m avoiding in me
-Praying towards my come up. Patience is slow, but surely
-I’ll manage to overcome those traits one day with the burning desire in me
-I know the potential is in me
-Been supporting free speech to damage people to speak out like it’s therapy
-But hold up, who’s volunteering their time for me to hear my story?

-Life’s crazy causing pressure on me
-Single making 50k yearly, but the office career is unhappy
-The girl I love right now not even mentally ready for me
-Of course I love myself but now who’s gonna love me?
-My heart holds hope while beating lonely, and yet
-Waiting patiently for something new and more
-Chances of getting married now is betting a craps game on the floor

-Can’t continue to sleep with this women I have deep feelings for
-If it’s 50/50 we’re not going to be together moving forward
-And if there’s zero chance for us in the future,
then allow me to close our paradise door
-Back to the drawing board of this single world tour
-Letting go is hard, but good for the soul i’m sure
-Healing these deep wounds is speaking straight to the primary source
-So I started writing my confessions in multiple letters to the Lord

-Hoping my sins don’t cast the next stone, which I can’t afford
-Asking God how further away am I from my reward?
-Once I take that first step to obedience, then his light will shine from the door
-This the start when I stop “starting over” and gain a little more
-This the start when blessings touch my hands as they begin to pour
-This the start when feeling apart turns my part into love and adore
-This the start when the heart can fully be restored
-And if there’s a high chance of life turning around, this the time I walk further towards more in store
-Growth is what i’m fighting for
~Love, Zay❤️

My Boy just went through his girl phone & owweeeee he went from standing up to sitting on the floor….

I’ll see you at the gym my boy ✌🏾
xavier thomas Apr 2020
I happily extend out a helping-hand
I always communicate with you in advance
I poured my heart out to give
I am honest with you & also positive

But the minute I ask a favor of you...

You continue to give me excuses
You have delays in responding with zero solutions
You’re able to buy accessories from your wallet;
Yet, can’t pay back what you promised
You ghost me days-weeks-months until you need me again

Here’s my letter of resignation.
My loyalty & services are no longer needed, farewell old friend
Best to leave with peace than prove your point. Carry on

Even though I understand,
I’m getting tired of understanding

Ref blows whistle: (Full Time Out)

Me-
My man curled, screen, then tried to do a slip.
Size you in, and hit you really good in your lips.
No calls guaranteed, from these wack funky referees.
I’m ready to turn up on the court, bro, down with me?

Juice-
Hell yeah my guy! ******* and attitude kinda tight.
What a mess, Aye, Zay let’s put these boys to rest.

Me-
Straight facts! Next play they’re running flat.
The next time he do that, we’ll lay him on his back.

Time to respond. I'll get the ball, hit a crossover, and pass it through.
Hit your shimmy dance, shoot and move, shoot and move.

Juice-
*****, you ain’t got to say -ish!
I been ballin’ since 5th grade with the same tricks!

With the ball gripped, and a fake little drive.
Average 14p-10r-5a + an OG can still fly.
Just observe, I’m about to send these boy my regards.
Have the crowd singing, “Oh my Lord!”

Me-
Bet fam, love your crazy attitude!
We gone gang up on these rookies and beat them by 62!
Abuse them, with the upmost tempo vicious.
Dunk, score, scream and shout make them feel like quitting.

On Defense, guard #2 the short chubby dude.
I’ll guard #32 that look like a raccoon.
Go man to man with the little peasants.
When it’s all said and done, give these fools zero leg room exits.

Juice-
I'm dunking on chumps like O’Neal , offense-defense real!
Got ice in my veins from the thrill when I block and steal!
These little boys can’t stop me for -ish!
With my corner 3-pt nasty wet jumper, they gone have to recover.

Yup, make them suffer. We dangerous!
Whole team will lose confidence dawg, big trust!
Now let’s just chill, relax, stay focus no relapse,
watch our backs, but aye fam… where the ball at?

Ref blows whistle*: (Ball in!)
Game-Time
xavier thomas Sep 2021
Me-
“D” UP! “D” UP! put them hands up, hands up.
And I’m robbing folks on the pass if they slip up.
Don’t allow nobody to pass by you, move your feet.
Don’t go for every reach, just keep them in front of you my G.

They dealing with a team full of experts.
Juice & I will double-team, so squad be on high alert.
Make them work, cut off those passing lanes and
once they turn the ball over, we’ll be gone in an instant.


Juice-
Aye, look at these wanna be play makers.
Zay steal that, now pass that.
Cause I’m about to lob that to my boy Doug.
BOOM!!! I see you Doug with the 360 alley-oop dunk!

YOOO! Ball is thrown in, watch for the pass and skip!

Me-
No worries I got the ball my guy, don’t trip.
Here Juice! Run 54-hip.

Juice-
Aww snap! Time to ****!
I’m about to put the boys in their feels!

Cross-over stepper, step-back decker.
I’m a G.O.A.T. getter, nobody does it better.
Weak mismatches and easy pass dishes.
Pick & role to the pocket, they can’t stop this.

Zay-
Man, we about to hurt these fools on the other end too.
About to get tortured as we break their hearts in shambles.
And when we rock them and stop them at the rim, it’s straight blocking.
Even if they try to shoot, BLOCKA, BLOCKA, BLOCKA!

Juice-
It is what it is fam, to bad they about to lose.

Zay-
At the end of the day, what the hell they gonna do?

Juice-
Now this is epic. We got them looking pathetic.
I said what I said, ain’t no room to be apologetic.

Now as we sit, sip while smoke swisher sweets
Let me take you back in time
When I met my cherry plum with private benefit privileges
My college chick, cute Laos, do anything for me
Everyday we stay on campus, she made a house key for me
Drive me home after school to work, very supportive to me
Gave cash, ran my bath, clean clothes, a lot of love to me
Even tell her folks she at her girlfriend’s, when she staying with me
Jealous when another lady around, highly clingy under me
She a cutie, very ambitious, trying to be my “Mrs.”
Cooking bacon & eggs Saturday morning in my kitchen
Not to say I wouldn’t claim her as “Mrs.”, she deserve a chance
Her love for me is above me now, that’s out of my hands

As she sings to me, her voice refreshes life into my life.

Keeping my very existence alive.

She water my roots:
