Tip Toeing

Tip toeing through pastures patiently with no shoes on
Heading north towards the moon hoping our people can move on
Risking our everything walking carefully under the rail road
Realizing that freedom can become nothing but fools gold
Finding hope in the scriptures newest edition that they wrote
Telling us this is why we are where we are as our peers choke
Due to the neck ties they place around our necks to impale us
And now for there entertainment as we ride on a jail bus

For Her

I don't argue with her
I'm attracted to her
Distracted from the bullshit
I've been impacted by her
My worries overcome
My stress compacted by her
She makes life easier for me
I am elastic for her
Bending the rules I've set for love
There is no lacking for her
So I'm up early home on time
I try and practice for her
Making sure I don't detract back
To what aggravates her
Lying, cheating, and dealing
They stay in the past just for her
I move faster for her
No deviations from the norm
My hearts been captured by her
The sole possessor of my love
My soul is active for her
I'm out the hole my debts are paid
I don't look back cause of her
I see the future it's so clear
This rhyme is crafted for her
Hoping my love will understand
I am not acting for her
Write these words down on this page
An show my actions to her

Clarity

As an offering of clarity I give to you

A peek into my thoughts

They shift and shift and change up often

For battles internally fought

Against the biggest traitor of all

Tussling with temptations grand and tall

Stubborn so they push each other

Often ending up in a brawl

It seems that poetry offers calm

To my calamity after all

Loving the highs I reach through writing

While hating the sudden falls

Without it in my process daily

Things get missed and trees don't shade me

As the sun beams down on my behavior

Reflecting a taste that's hard to savor

I pause while not expecting Santa Claus

It seems realities been

Exposed through summers sudden falls

While hoping calamity ends

A cold July day is my birthday

Feeling like nothings worth it

Imagine my mind in spinning mode

While trying to write this perfect

Warm Winter Breeze

There is something soothing about a warm winter breeze
The stability it brings
Maintaining my moods simplifying its usual swings

A warm winter breeze in December
Green leaves clinging courageously onto the trees
Wonderful how the warm air stabilizes the change
That falls bring

A warm winter breeze;
Balmy and dry
Offering a soft landing to a summer time high
A warm winter breeze easing me through the night
Darkness coming early makes my moods blend right

A warm winter breeze you would be content with
If you hadn't; crossed the Mason-Dixon for 12 summers spent
That turned into hard falls that offer a new cause
Like trying to get a cold heart warm
In an ice storm
Realizing that cold is the norm
Albeit full of flaws
Ending up successful only when moved without pause

A warm winter breeze slowing down the shifts
That sink ships in the pacific
When turbulent sees makes brains freeze
Tearing a bleeding heart apart
Trying to get another to start
But not moved by the screams and the pleas
That promise brings

She So Sweet

She’s so sweet to me

She treats me well

I feel dependent on her love

It seems I’m under her spell

It’s her presence

It’s her essence

It's her patience

And statements

If she told me she was late

I’d still be happy she made it

She keeps me grounded

When I have the sky

At my feet

She’s so sweet to me

Without her I’m not Me

I love her look

And affection

I love her perfect

Complexion

I love every thing about her

Except the fact I don’t have her
