When the sun recedes... The light it once gave fades Only to return like it never left... Because the skies decided to slip into something a little sexier -- Something black and strapless Sheer, it shimmered against the skin of the universe The stars It's touch feels cooler, For the time shared, It bared all … Continue reading High Tide
GHOSTS
Sam speaks of ghosts But we still feel the pulse White fear is crowned Taxing its public Removing action from its Subjects Thus Black boys to men Incorrectly sentenced To death Judge, Jury, & Defendants Carry the execution Blindfolded Bitch Can’t see the blood On her hands Justice says red is the only Hue that … Continue reading GHOSTS
Gabriel
Wonder how long Mary carried Jesus. Virgin pure Unexplored, uncharted Unfit, unexposed Unwarranted, Unexplained Undeniable. "Virgin Mary", Said the Angel "You WILL conceive! Don't try to conceptualize, Rationalize, strategize, improvise, Institutionalize... I'm just here to prophesy." Now young Mary within herself Trying to explain her seed, Her very meaning To those who could never understand or … Continue reading Gabriel

Head bowed and eyes to God Recital hour of my heart What's my life's mission?
