“no pain, no gain”

“no pain, no gain”

i love her. no poem needed. she knows.
i love her. no questions asked. she just died
but i love her. heart felt passions simmering
in the noise of lost. i heard her die. i ignored.
i refused to hear what she said. i refused. i
am scared. a man hurting. i am done. not just done.
i put her heart in the garbage disposal unit. i
pulled out a strong knife. quartered. halved.
i placed her soul in whole. and i simmered. called
her name over and over again. no onion needed.
she was enough to make me cry. sex was
enough to make me bleed from multiples
orifices. closed and never wanting opening.
the lover found a path behind the trenches. hurt
negated by sweet sweet roll. i can’t.
leave this alone. i can’t forget the good things,
ouch. those were hurtful things. i love her.
i remember a little from a first night. moon
bright. maybe sun shone. i. don’t want
to forget the good times. avarice makes me
numb. i love her. fighting null.
happiest times of my life.

the exemplary seed

the exemplary seed

 

my child. listen to me

hear me as i talk but i worry

does my voice come off as harsh

be great. don’t falter. don’t hurt. i

want you to succeed. be great. be

better than me and the others before you

be strong. be fluid. accept change.

the universe cant control you. be

beautiful. be bountiful. be incredible.

make moves that create. make steps that

create within you  a beacon of

greatness

tell negativity to stall. be quiet

greatness comes from within. life

only forgives those who try. be

true. be new. be ok.  be you.

be your mother’s warmth. be your

daddy’s angst and unforgiving questioning.

be your mother’s drive. your daddies

lets control this and make it live.

be compassionate and be understanding.

be life. hold your secrets close. share

with your loves. choose them succinctly. be

human and humans you are to love. my

child just be great. exemplarily. stupendously

the adult.

be working and building. creating. be

successor of lost legacies. be controlled

of destinies so forgotten. be

chill. be sensible. but at the end of the day

be you. love you. we love you too.

forever song

forever song

[rest in peace, sister maya]

 

nothing so beautiful. strong. free

the bird no longer caged. soars. sings

a song of freedom. boundaries disassemble.

voice no longer shackle. mind. mindful

of southern winds. leading the northern

wind. sheltering and seeding.  nurturing.

leading hand in hand to greater things.

now i know why the caged bird sings.

transformed to the angel. keep rising.

never stop singing.

das poetica

das poetica

church listen to me. i will preach
i will speak in terms. giving terms
listen to me. i want to holla
or maybe i just want to be heard
from noontime to midnight rants. lets
fellowship and see where we have come
lets rally and cry and take up
pens that spill ink on the land
lets talk and debate and argue
shooting consonants and spraying
words until morning comes
words of mass destruction is
what we will construct
destructing the ignorance of
what the world has become
building walls of vowels
a, e, i do owe you something
i owe you a voice for listening
your ear my drum, as i beat
and sing, listen, i am your metronome
tick
tick
life speaks
are you listening?

loving you deeply. yes. i know
i loved you from eyes opened. and i will
until eyes close. and i will still love you. i
know you better than myself. as i grew
you talked to me. you molded me. you
created me. taught me right though i did wrong
showed me straight but crookedness
seemed to be my way. taught honor.
made me the man i am today. mother
you were my father. mother you were
teacher and leader. mother.
everything i am today.
you.
you made me
