Burdens grope
tomorrow's views
with sin's mercy,
fabricating
eternities
where rain is
martyred
for painting love
in the lost's eyes,
hiding captured emotions
in moments
of sanctuary
on the way out
of edges spiked,
but imagine
a life
well earned.

She wasn't
But highly ritualistic
The fear of not keeping
Her usual routine
Threatened her life

Not because
The supernatural
Would destroy her
But that she
Would destroy
Herself

Amethyst velvet
spun part-time
over indigo dreams,
rain drumming
perfectly
with reveries,
cherry kisses
on sunflower harps,
heaven's ricochets,
twilight's crescendo
caused by time
in soulful play.
Emotions
unplanned,
his, her, their
misfit eye.

Oscillating hate,
becoming evil,
a hundred stones
thrown and swept
to crescendo
empathy.

Pied Piper

He was known as the ‘Pied Piper’—a to some & others a taboo.
A fixture in the parish like the on a tattoo. His music was a melting pot of superstitions—a of shadows whistling, sitting, waiting, & wishing.✍🏽#bravewrite

Little Black Girl

✍️🏽...trying to in a White school—I ran many relay races on track—talking smack and winning plaques. was my track team—the baton that we tossed---felt like wild on the run—winning at all costs.

Blood of this earth
falling w/ oxen,
treacherous
ringmasters'
duplicity churning seas
into electric wasteland,
roads coming apart
from crossways
we'd paved fast
from opal dirt
purer
than the rouge
staining
smiles
under sugar-coated
influence.

Why in death do we mourn?
Yet in life we can ignore
Surely love is pure
When you are kind warm towards the living.

Hurt transforms, breeds words,
yesterday not forever,
I hide, lost in shade.

Prayers drip,
pool in darkness,
sink into aches
beneath worries,
crypt of your past
comes apart
to taste again
life's flurries.
Wisdom in pain
comes on its own,
crosses naivety
as it flows,
and still we ask
"why?"

Kisses behind waterfalls
and between random thoughts,
diminish violent dances,
toss anxiousness across.

The Owl and the Pussy-cat

...row together in a boat—the Owl was wise, exclaiming, “WHO”, but, the held its tongue, not knowing what to do. So, the Owl the Cat as one and done—where nine lives felt like the total sum.✍🏽#bravewrite

Old habits
Never die —
They but step back
To watch
The new ones fail.

Pandemonium

no of vanity, wits, money, or looks that matters—judgment of humanity and shades of grey diffuse the ’pandemonium’ like a on the looney tunes—or a swan that swims upstream—amidst the ruins.✍️🏽

Carpe Diem

A storm is brewing
by minute,
hours seem complicated
& divinely orchestrated.
planets align
before our very eyes—
thunderous roar & lightening
to my surprise—a twist of fate & seethe—now transform & just
