Built On Double Standards

Built on double standards
But u don't understand me
Rich frat boys steal and rape
While sayin' yo testimony is too damn late

But say didn't u see
The Black Bodies lying n the streets
Now aftr the fact, u wanna take a knee
Oh the irony

Sponsored by the shell game flim flam
The 3rd party voting scam
The ol' divide and conquer
While u wine 4 lunch b4 soccer

Mom,  u didn't see the harm
N good ol'boy rule
N rich old men drool

N districts gerrymandered
N the land built on double standards

My mind comes alive under the night sky
Fixed luminous points fill my eyes.

Artistic gifts of thought fill the air
Expression of gratitude like prayer

The World Stage

All the world's a stage
Whether blessed with a fortune
or hustlin' for wage

Men, women, workers, players
Entrances, exits, sins and prayers

All play many parts
Star struck lovers to broken hearts
Prologues and curtain calls since we were born

Scenes, lines and encores
Cause, the show must go on

A Deep Conviction

Affirm it, claim it, name it

Yours, make it yours

If you want it, hunt it

Not like prey
Let cupid have his way

Aim for the heart
The mission:

Stake your claim
 with plenty of repetition

Take action
Use phraseology, diction

Achieve what you want
with clarity and conviction

It's not over, she said, as she looked in my eye's
The conviction in her voice neither doubted or denied.

She said, "Chin up, my son".
Be bold, little lion

Wipe the tears from your face
Cease your crying

For one day you'll be a man
and face many defeats

Lessons learned making
victory sweet

But until that glorious day
lick your wounds, of war
 Cause, we are winning

Our opponents think
we're finished

But their end is our
beginning

A Good Life

A good life is what i aim to live
Not bargaining my shortcomings
with the tithes that i can give

But, my words be not judgment
More corporeal substance than
 soul

More virtues of a just God than
ancients ever told

Still what do i know, like you,
I walk through valleys dark as death

However, before i get to deep
let me pause and take a breath

I pray to live a noble life
till quietus calmly comes

And, kiss my dear on her lips
living on in memories of loved ones

Genius
Brilliance
Artistry

Brings into being
 creativity

A spark
A flame

An idea ignites

And although it's clear
And very bright

A dream at no time
will come true

Without the labor
to see it through

 Sublime Love

The sun never sets
The moon doesn't light

Perceptions shifts from left to right
Limited by experience

Superficial but so serious
Your views, my dear, aren't like mine

Yet the love we make is still sublime

We

Remember our summer

Here for you

Late summer moon

It's on the horizon
But without sound

The Eerie inevitability
of the showdown

Watch them she said
Their ways reveal

What's in their hearts
How they really feel

Insecurities display
Self centered and hateful ways

Not evil
For they know not what
they do

Hubris snuck (sneaked :) in
disguise as the truth

Watch them she said
Their ways reveal

Alluring

African

Goddess

Mystery of Existence


Lovely as life itself
Beautiful as the breath we breathe
Precious as the moments of the day
As faithful as what we believe

Magnificent as the waves of the sea
Vital as the sun in the sky
Powerful as the force of the wind
As inevitable as the day we die

As passionate as when we make love
Disconnected as when we're distant
Euphoric as a spiritual high
We embrace the mystery of existence

Long Live The Queen

Long live the queen
Soul Sister supreme

Voice of angel
Your subjects are grateful

For your reign

Through trial and tribulations
Your songs uplifted nations

Regal and divine
 Shine diva shine

as the heavens sang

Universal respects
for the magnificent effect

of your rule

For that Detroit cool

For that spiritual gold

For the Queen of Soul

Beautifully complex

The Fog

The fog was thick
Couldn't see my hand
in front of my eyes

Obstacles like land mines
laid in disguise

What was this challenge
Was there danger ahead

Couldn't see clearly
Was i being mislead

The tension was palpable
Mystery was in the air

But me, undaunted,
into the murk did stare

Executed my strategy
and couldn't believe

The mirror beyond the fog
Proved the obstacle was me

Sparkle, beautiful lady
Touch r hearts with ur song

Give us something we can feel
Help us right the wrongs

Know from whence you came
Know the worth beyond your name

You are more than what you've learned
And too strong to be reduced by derogatory terms

You are greatness
A miracle
One of a kind

Here in this moment
this space, this time

Inspire, uplift, teach,
unite

Learn, be a student, support
what's right

For your power is incredible
You needn't dull your shine

You are greatness
A miracle
One of a kind

Up from slavery
Down with fear

The futures calling
Can't you hear

The time is now
don't you know

Bamboozled was a minstrel show

No shuckin', jivin'
It's time to fight

No blackface yelling, "dynomite"

No pastors feasting on a
 golden goose,
that strangely resembled faith
base loot

Just intelligent, fearless,
folks in the fold

That for selfish gains
won't sell their soul

Cause, the future calling
Can you hear

Up from slavery
Down with fear

Our Destiny Ourselves

We can wish upon the stars
Hitch are dreams to the moons of Mars

Keep our heads to the sky
 Rain dance on mountains way up high

Check our horoscope everyday
Worship the sun in everyway

Acknowledge without any fuss
That we truly are created from star dust

But one thing is certain without fail
No one holds our destiny but ourselves

If

If i were a poet
I'd arouse ur emotions
 meter, rhyme & stanzaic potions

If i were a lyricist
I'd write u a tune
Sung by the angels under the moonlight n june

& if i were a writer
I'd pen myriad stories
Fascinating literature
Praise ur glory

But i am just a man
Who wishes that he could

A man that will be there for u
like a good man should.

Tantric Love

Your spiritual force

Your Tantric love

Speaks to my essence

What i dream of

Intensity, purpose

The embrace of life

Ebb and flow

Tranquility, strife

Your scintillating charm

Conjures my vitality

Fire, concupiscence,

Passionate sexuality

You're my calm seas, my wind, my storms above

You're my spiritual force,

My Tantric Love

Without words

Words only say so much

 Endless streams of chatter,

 such a crutch

Look in my eyes

Peer into my soul

Attraction is created

It doesn't have to be told

Or seduced by the tongue

with sweet nothings to say

So communicate with me, woman

Without words today

Pretty Mama
(2018)

We could run away
Pretty Mama

And fill the warmth of day
Pretty Mama

Lying in my arms girl
You never will be harmed

Oh my baby

Come with me
We'll make love tenderly
Under the stars and the quasars
Pretty Mama

O o o o o yeah
O o o o o yeah

Your kisses are so sweet
Pretty Mama

As we dance to our own beat
Pretty Mama

Suspended space and time girl
Forever you'll be mine
O my baby

Come with me
We'll make love tenderly
Beyond the stars
and the quasars

Pretty Mama

Blue Falls

Fallen down on my face
You call with memories
I can't erase

Of a love that felt so good
Over you mu body stood
for love

Rays gold falling down on our face
Secrets told of things we wanted to taste

And your love felt so good
Under me your body shade is love

And i wish it would have last forever
How come we didn't stay together

Cause our love it was so good
Sometimes things don't work as they should
In love.

Till another day

Hold me now
'for tomorrow comes

And we leave away
For another day
Till the morning comes

Kiss me sweet
Whisper in my ear

And will do the thangs
That make our bodies swang
Till the morning sun

And i will live without you
And you will live without me

And the good times will cease to be
Until we meet another day

Spill the wine
Upon my lips

And we'll laugh and play
Till gently lay between your hips

Hold me so
So slow

Never let me go
Till moon sets and our
Only regret is that we have to go

And i will live without you
And you will live without me

And the good times will cease to be
Until we meet another day

 Snowy Summer

Snow in my eyes
Chills on warm nights

All these summer days
Seem to melt away

After rain and thunder
Comes a snowy summer

Snowy Summer

Wind to the bones
No calls from your phone

Thought these summer days
Would find you my way

Guess i'll have to wonder
What caused a snowy summer

Snowy Summer

Sensible

Sensible

You always were 

With a subtle elegance that whispered

look at her.

And, everyone did, but you had no time

Too busy cultivating the intellect of a beautiful mind

And that wonderful spirit that took you far away

That is until I bumped into you, earlier today

Same angelic smile

Same gleam in your eye

So I asked you out for dinner

Thought at least, I'd try

But your suggestion was dinner at your place

So, I did concur

Cause you're sensible

You always were.

Drawn To Bliss

Adrenaline rising

Heartbeat racing

Mouth watering,

Sweet tasting

Dopamine, Oxytocin

Sensual, sexy, words

spoken

Intimate fragrance

Call of desire

Yearning fed

by passions fire

Face to face

Drawn to bliss

Enthralled by the mystic 

art of the kiss

Warm, Winter rain

Warm winter rain

Some how it ain't the same

As the stormy summer nights

When i would hold u tight

And our room would fill with luv

The rhythmic sky from above

Would be our love song

Be it right or being wrong

The good times that we had

The heat of passion,

 good

and bad

Sends memories rushing through

So the warm winter rain will have to do

Miss Your Pretty Face

Miss Your Pretty Face

Miss your pretty face

It's been a long time

Miss your pretty face

Loved your inquisitive mind

Miss your pretty face

Straight forward and clear

Miss your pretty face

The way you smiled, my dear

Miss your pretty face

How the moon shined upon it from above

Miss your pretty face

The night I felt your sweet love

Miss your pretty face

No longer distracted by the why's

Miss your pretty face

Poetically reaching out

to say,
Hi.

Hate in the Heart

We collect it
Collect it like shards of glass

Shattered from from our past
Too painful to be thrown away

Broken images that reflects the agony
of yesterday

But it must be
Can't you see

It must be swept up, disposed
Cause hate in the heart
damages your the soul

Gifts of effort

Ominous, fire breathing, flying overhead
Should i face the dragon or cower instead

Or should i dare believe i can tame the beast
And, receive the gifts of my efforts
laid at my feet
