The Evo’s Gift - Forgiven Sin
The resounding sins, of
many echo through
their etheric karma
manifesting the
good intentions, of
Personal Truth
at the end of the day the air waves:
find their way back home,
when the sun goes down, and
the lights go out at night
lightning never strikes the same place twice
however, once in a while you wonder…How?
In the world we live in —

through the eyes of a stranger
Through the eyes of a stranger,
I walk the crowded streets,
My thoughts hidden behind
A façade of indifference.
Always writing under breath
Each step the rhythm of a song
I listen for the murmurs,
The stories left half-told,
And with borrowed breath,
I weave their words into verse,
A silent chronicler,
Of lives intertwined.
Beneath the surface of each face,
A universe of fe...

Valentines Day
Dressing up, styling hair, feeling fine
Card and presents, wait to be opened, all in a line
Roses, chocolates and bottles of red wine
Celebrating Valentines Day, its just a matter of time
Happiness shown, whether it be rain or shine
Cupid wasn't so stupid, sending his arrow as a sign
The restaurant booked, we drink and then we dine
Thinking that when we met, he must of made you mine
More s...

New Years 2023
As the year of 2023 comes to a relieving close
We think over the good and bad times we chose
Memories stack up again and then begin to fade
Thinking up New Years Resolutions to be made
We begin to look to the joys of a fresh New Year
Where we start to wave a huge good-bye to fear
Tears and worries that consumed part of 2023
Are left behind as the New Year brings a new me
With the help of R...

Written in Stone
an epitaph
covered in overgrown grass
numbers and a letter encrypted,
written to the deceased,
for only those who knew him
you’d truly understand

Hot Spring
the plumes of a caldera,
and the dark clouds,
sun overshadowed,
at its core a scalding heat turned colder
because of similarities
shared this simile
for the changing of seasons, anew
an unforgiven embrace

Table Manners
he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal
had to-go
then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back
the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress
I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic
Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

size them up
had me my hand me downs
and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it
nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on
The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,
it’s silica content
Sunday 27th October 2024 6:11 pm
approach with caution
veered off, routine stop, in the shoulder…
looking over your paper work,
keep your hands on the steering wheel,
“I’m not going to ask again”
repeated offenses
respect my authority
police officers
a ford mustang and dodge charger
government funded electric vehicles
take a look inside the hood, it
purrs like a street cat with a scratchy throat
cut the lights on and off
I’m just try...

walk the line
My turn
I’m going to
spin the bottle
no one ever even noticed me
in High School
our first kiss
needs to be perfect
you don’t get a redo

love-hate relationship
obsession …
— envy us
in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.
you’re setting yourself up for failure
possible optimism
two glasses
my other, half
fully blurry vision
they’re prescription
usually she has to squint
and hadn’t felt the planets tilt till now

Red Dye Number 40
in pursuit of riches
snapped twigs, and
perseverance
exhausted —
all my resources …
gone,
in the heat of the moment.

thug poetry
40 ounces of malt liquor
Olde English and calligraphy

Welcome
take your shoes off at the door
I’ll take your coat
your hair smells refreshened
from the ozone
and
remnants of soap
lathered and rinsed out
in the rain shower

Rhetoric
attacking my integrity
questioning… me
myself,
I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question
second guessing…
why?
you were impolite.
looking for answers in an inner view

Spun -
A burnout —
driven to madness

in a

What a catastrophe!

Infinitesimal
dimensional
cellular division
the genomic sequence
time is a light matrix
encoded in
0’s & 1’s
goes on forever …
and, in that order
10, 9.
A singularity
and absolute zero
the big freeze or heat death
he said no one can help us
when, asking the universe
for answers
what, times any number
… is nothing other than zero

Blue Moon
This tidal,
ebb and flow
of our own
mixed feelings
as a solution,
salted tears …
we are 60% water

these waves of emotion

Web of Lies
Paralyzed
like a spider
checking in on his victim
tied up, entangled …
makes me think
of a bad dream
worsened
the familiar feeling of
waking up to the news of death

smooth...
They say he has his way with the ladies
the bruiser at the door
thought to himself
hey, let’s not get carried away
what a light weight ...
they had been seen leaving together
after a fight—being broken up
over a year at least
she said to all her girlfriends
“it was like I was blinking
then my eyes rolled back
into my head and everything went black”

Bible on a night stand
intermingling with a demon in the flesh
you realize your life was a lie
and your soul suffers in hell
for what feels like an eternal

Ebonics
A child
talking black
to their parents
acting out of character
arguing about upbringing
taken back
some things are best left unsaid…

Dark Side of the Moon
prophesied
the premonitions
foreshadow people
who live lives with
similarities parallel to our very own
when your third eye intakes light
and all the shades disappear in the night
their life is vibrant
the dream seen as an auric phenomenon
it’s either that
Or, are you completely isolated
in the back of the black of your eyelids
see an oracle or dream interpreter,
our aura’s rainbo...

Sweating in my Sleep
This is a dream full of desires,
and I like to think
when we go to sleep eternally
our soul
will not be without
the rest in heaven.

We are Human
That’s what makes us human,
that we tell our stories;
we tell not just theirs,
not those of the powerful,
but those of the women
and those of the men,
who all but survive,
in our stinking back-alleys;
so out I now venture,
I, who have been sheltered,
who am warm and well-fed,
to collect from the shop
poems written by many,
for you and for you,
for the muc...

Disappeared poets,
Disappeared poems,
Disappeared talents,
Disapproved of poets,
Disapproved of poems,
Disapproved of opinions,
Disapproved of words,
Jumped?
Pushed?
Fucked off in disgust?
Who cares?
Do you?
Why?

In the first second
infinite sensory overload
will begin, download it
and then this
thought process …
it is up to you to utilize
the central nervous system’s data
our own eye of the storm
strike like
lightning …
fast reflexes at the hands
of centered command

reincarceration
serving consecutive life sentences
three meals,
the confines of jail time
three strikes,
and they are never letting you get out
they throw the book at you
like a caged animal
preying,
...as it lands on a page that says
a message from god
sins written on — listed off, and then
sent across the hall to your distant friend again
a life of recycling license plates
crime pays for the chip...

Clothing Line
cut from a different cloth
dyed in the wool you pulled over your eyes
you made your bed now lie on it
tomorrow
is a wonderful day to die innit
I dress my wounds
and wear my heart on my sleeve
with cuff links & fingers crossed

Pandora's Box
Thought,
outside the realm of possibilities
Chaos …
beyond belief:
and great faith.
Thursday 4th July 2024 8:39 pm
just walk away
pack your bags
and
go get ready
to walk the walk
through the traffic
of differing directions
wave down the runway
and remember…
never, look back

Divine Intervention
where did I put those car keys,
I think I have had one too many,
loss of memory —
and this
drug habit
has me... grabbing my head
trying to
get a grasp on my own sanity

Scenarios
Every night i lie in bed
dozen scenarios in my head
thinkin bout how and what and when and where
every night you'll find me there
in my head
my secret place
in my mind
my safest space
all those things i never find
confidence?
i'd rather hide
brave enough? not the case
but in my mind
my safest space
i can be what i cannot
i can ...
