SOULFUL SYMMETRY,

SOULFUL SYMMETRY FEBRUARY 7, 2024 I pray for solace I pray for peace of mind when days feel short Where thoughts don't collide with memories And facts intertwine with premonitions I pray for guidance I hope that someday I'll turn towards the past Trace the path I endeavored towards And see the light shining as bright I pray for sustenance I turn to the heavens, favor and grace be upon me That I may live, laugh, and...

THE STATIONARY MINUTE.

The Stationary Minute December 13, 2023 "Evil exists unprovoked, and if you let it consume you, it'll destroy you from the inside out.." The old geezer sitting beside me mumbled behind his dense mustache that ate up his mouth out of visual existence. His crackling voice ensued a feeling of both contentment and dissatisfaction. It's as if he had experienced hell on earth, gratifying the opportunity of having a glimp...

WHISPERS OF LOVE'S RENAISSANCE DECEMBER 6, 20223 Just a little note to say that every moment with her feels like a page out of a romance story. Her laughter is the melody that plays in my heart, and her smile, the brightest chapter of my day. She's different, a rare shade of something beautiful. A spark of rebellion interlaced with magic. Just her existence gives others hope that goodness still exists. She's addictive. Right ...

THE ABSURD “POETRY” November 15, 2023 Lights out, mouths shut The show's about to start Rehearsals were done, so no cuts Even the roaches play their part "Laments," it's a sad entrance Audience grow low of patience In turn, they're captured with suspense Inhaling the aroma of the play's essence Zakayo, the man of the hour, emerge His kids on the floor, what a purge?

SINS OF A FATHER Her eyes puffy, her nose bloody She realized sweat-blood wasn't salty Punches on her face and her belly Her very existence seemed deadly Hated since birth, branded accidental baby Her vocabulary never included lovey-dovey She wondered, was she nature's unfortunate girly Or was she hated for being more than just a barbie Blamed for the existing pain, she was abused daily Made through love, but now all she brought was misery She yearned for a miracle, the vill...

IN THE SHADOWS OF HISTORY Born African, forever one Wanna know where I'm from Better watch my rhythm and flow Black is beauty, both soul and body Yeah slavery rid us of our humanity Years of pain, suffering and torture Broken bones, our past was a little bit filthy Persevered through it all, unshakeable was our culture Big up to our black Queens Not forgetting the Kings Melanin skin Rooted deep within Our pride, you may kiss the bride Down on one knee, I'll ask her to b...

THE LURKING WITHIN In between the chaotic silence I heard a whisper, an idea I thought One I had already fought Slithering into my mind It struggled to make me blind Control, it craved Shaking with profound anger Fist clenched fueling the hunger I wondered why it was back Pss pss, the whisper kept growing In the midst of the rhythmic wind blowing The crackling became horrific Behind the haunted walls It maneuvered with its razor-sharp claws Peeping through the windows...

WHAT IF.....???

WHAT IF....??? JANUARY 10, 2024 If wishes were horses we'd ride If dreams came true, would we pry? Wealth and fame we pride But what if we didn't even have to try? What if pain never existed? Would we scuttle to war zones to get enlisted? Would happiness prevail coz life no longer feels twisted? Or would we yearn for the days hurt was consistent? What if love took over its throne? From the depths of hell to the realms of heaven With every spark ignite...
