Poetry, Picture and Song

Poetry, Picture and Song


Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Maybe it started with 
comic books

Their story lines
and aesthetic hooks

Or maybe hours by
the radio

coping lyrics and
imagining shows

Or, could it have been
my first singing
group

4 lil' Second graders
singing on a stoop

Whatever it was it
had me, man

Rhymes, pics, lyrics,
pencil in my hand

Through the years
it's remained the same

whether monetary 
or to stay sane

A creative spirit
eager to shine

 Melodic Meditations
melodies for the mind

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

The Return (T)






I remember her flowing locs
Her tbj was "Forget Me Nots"

And, she loved to be in the open air
Under the moon and stars
her soul she'd bare

Her voice, her touch
her skin, her hips
The way she kissed
me with her full lips

Haunts my dreams
and makes me yearn

for the one and only
and her return

T
