People often say good men are hard to find
And though that may be true
I know my mom found a great one
The day that she met you
You had your rough edges
And you were humble enough
To let God iron them out
Instead of acting all tough
You were patient and kind
Thoughtful yet aggressive
Nothing like my dad
For he was too [...]

My Life
05.18.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

My eyes are open
But I’m so blind
I think I know it all
With my closed mind
My pain is pleasure
My joy is pain
No psychotherapist
Can render me sane
Problem after problem
With no resolution
Will surely have me
In somebody’s institution
I need an escape
From my own self
For this state of depression
Has affected my health
I won’t take meds
Not because of my pride
But because [...]

Stillwell Memories: Ode to Coney Island

Stillwell Memories: Ode to Coney Island
How do you say good-bye to
childhood’s beloved landmarks:
gritty salty air, stale, but sweet popcorn
moist and sweaty Cyclone guardrails that barely protect you from falling out
but just not safe enough to not be condemned.
Long treks through the history of Hip Hop
starting in the boogie down with knob filled boomboxes
blasting KRS-one’s [...]

Indecision

Indecision
Same like the riddle of which came first or
what happens at the crossroads
and if it involves the selling of souls,
What happens when the city of dreams
bright lights and apple flavor becomes a modern day Attica?
When the spotlights that line Ol’ Broadway
are searchlights illuminating prison numbers like train lines
monitoring the blank, the faceless and the [...]

First Time: First Dance
04.15.08 | Permalink | 8 Comments

First Dance
(Based off of Miles Davis’ Flamenco Sketches)
On the tip of a patent leather toe
love somehow oiled my squeaky veins,
spinning and tip-toeing a rhythmic trail into my heart.
With overhead lights and smoky-like trails
I seem to be twirling without moving;
Slowly I drink in the spirit of you.
Fingertips trace hands, neck and yours rightfully fall on hips.
In [...]

First Time

First Time
Between the toothpaste and floss
Underneath the silky red panties,
marred only by the price tag still on it
In the zippered flap of my weekend bag -
I am choosing.
Panicking
Praying for serenity
Secretly smiling
I am choosing
Trojan, Durex, latex
Sweet whispers of
trust me . . . baby trust me. . .
Months and months of gentle kisses
breathy moans with clothes on
I [...]

THE ANALOGY
02.15.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

I’m an ocean in love with a swamp
2 deep 4 you
Your 2 dirty & shallow 4 me
When we get 2gether
you get lost inside of me
My waves are 2 intense
AND
Because you dont stand 4 anything
My currents wash you away
Still I stay
Waiting 2 see
A change or the manifestation of a better day Years have gone by…..
Should i [...]

Walk Away
02.15.08 | Permalink | Comment?

Staying here hurts more than leaving yet I don’t walk away
Watching you love another while I love you hurts yet I don’t walk away
Holding you knowing you’d rather hold someone else hurts yet I don’t walk away
I sit here wishing, praying, thinking, wondering hoping that my love is enough
You sit there wishing praying thinking wondering [...]

When Love is Present
02.11.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

It…
Brings hope, security, food and shelter to the many homeless people who are too often frowned upon.
Causes one to forgive another.
Changes the mind of the individual who is seconds away from comitting suicide.
Saves the child who is living in a household that is dysfunctional.
Brings a smile from inside out when you have a happy feeling.
Challenges [...]

LICENSE 2 KILL

LICENSE 2 KILL
(In Memory of Sean Bell)
NO LONGER COMFORTED BY YOUR PRESENCE
AS A PEOPLE…….RATHER CONFUSED BY YOUR PRESENCE
ARE YOU HERE 2 HELP OR HURT
THE ANSWER 2 THAT QUESTION COMES 2 LATE…..
AFTER SHOTS ARE FIRED (50 TIMES)
A LIFE IS SENSELESSLY LOST
A FATHER GONE
PARENTS LEFT BEHIND 2 MOURN
A HUSBAND 2 BE, STOLEN AWAY
YET…..ANOTHER, YES ANOTHER BROTHER FATALLY [...]
