as i recall, you were not bad at all.

being as small as they were, and just as confused-

you came, too aware of yourself-

lips tasting of starburst candy.

the shed seemed the place to lick it out-

each being 6- copying the couples on channel 6

 

just the gal across the street.

an itchy blanket

where they smother

dreams

babylike-

 

a glass jar

and a lid

without holes-

 

why did we forget

the holes, love?

Her Virgin Voyage

Casting out dark chards of her broken heart

Pure heart falling off edges of stunning love

Her heart flutters down into cold caves of clouds

 

Her lovers scent now gone!

Virgin walls fall calling out his name

But no name returns all alone tears salt her shame

And night makes its move cradling her hurt heart

First black man in power

The hype would make it seem

What has he done

A voice for his people

Changes remain unseen

Completely inaudible

In the position to make positive

Change for the future black race

But how will that help his campaign

It sounds as though I am in the jungle,

Bird calls drift in through the jalousies,

Echoing bubbles off the walls,

And I realize,

I finally am, free as a bird…

Sleeping night after night in the tree tops,

Building my nest out of what I can gather,

Absorbing life’s wind, blowing through my feathers.

Lying awake in the darkness

Thoughts going around my head

 Early hours of the morning

Best time of the day

The quietest moment

Feels like the whole world is asleep

Everything feels at peace

Contemplating life

Only distraction is the faint breathing

Of my lover lying by my side

I'm waiting for the moment, which may never come... at least I know I waited, and that is worth the every moment, I had waited on.

But tonight I'll burn the city down, for you and all the ghosts in town

That waited on the setting sun, the moment we were taken from.

Tonight I'll burn the city down, to ashes all and everyone.

Welcome to the Nightmare

(The Black Guardian)

 

So I've been welcomed into the nightmare, but when will you let me out?

Poisons are releasing, through my veins I tried to cut my doubt

as you grazed my heart slowly. I always recede to nothingness, this is what I am,

because you made me.

Won't you elevate my consciousness, and give me back that thing

you call it life?

No satisfaction

It's not something we can know

If we find our peace

I was born

In the depths of dreaming

You ended

In the phantoms of obscurity

I was there

You ended

In the depths of dreaming

I was born

lonely traveller

who has travelled

so far

left behind

closing doors

i hold a piece of your heart

and when the silence

of the night falls

whisper to me

living stone circles

encircling me

living light space and time

Christened to become a fly

with a million rotten eyes

 

I chew on you, as you feed me

 

I am feeding from a pool of dead lies

swamp infested waters of maggots and flies
