Glassy tributes
in fragments of classic fragility
variety of fragrances
as magical coordinates
Why
are
you
looking for love oh soul;Is it not enough that God gave it all?
His Love that is pure, true and great
What are you waiting?
accept God and taste
Perhaps one more before I go.
This one is dedicated to the men,
a man’s height beneath the floor.
Sitting in chairs, until the room starts spinning.
When the world started to fear me,
And I it.
When the color of my skin
Came before any of my intentions.
When I realized I no longer had control over what happened to my body.
And I became just that-
When you’re four, you ask your mom why a dime is smaller than a nickel
One larger than the other, yet only the worth of five pennies
Your mom still buys you matching sets to wear to school
We never really grow up.
We're constantly learning.
There is pain in the process,
But there is growth from the pain,
And there is excitement in the growth.
So revel in the excitement.
When I think about this world, my brows become furled.
When I think about this society, I get anxiety.
When I think about my country, it seems crumbly.
When I think about my community, I see disunity.
I once met a man who introduced me to the different sides of love.
He dyed his hair a different color every other week
and bound his chest so that no one would question his authority.
there like a light
never a light through
while joy was the virus
flourishing inside of you.
to access it out of will
or live your life in cheat
the heart created in love
Promised Land
it was midnight
on a windswept
friday,
early july,
when i realized
that my entire
nation was
a hand-me-down,
a last-minute
I missed you again today
I've been doing this thing where I refrain from thinking about you until about the worst possible time in the day to break down
When I'm dipping in the pool for the beginning of practice
Typically, my policy is practicing self-censorshipActing like I'm masterful, with unsurpassable intelligenceIn actuality, some elements exist which aren't usually seen
The Lord gave me a heart for the hurting
Allowed me to enjoy opportunities of which I wasn’t always deserving
Endowed me with the power of spiritual discernment
Enabled confidence to generate a lyrical disturbance
At the top of the ladder is your goal.
Each of the ladder's poles represents
Your steps and efforts to get closer to that.
And your soul plays a major part in your pace.
Chaos consumes the essence of my soul
Creating clouds that circle the once pale blue sky of my past
Choppy waves of the ocean encompass the earth from below
Choking, gasping for air
My future is decided.
My skin color defines it.
My skin color is it.
This is what I am told,
An "invisible" label I have to bear.
A pathway guides me to what I have to be.
Unladen accoutrementsstashed away in the folds & potholespock the buttresses of a proto-being;those useless are cast à l’ephemeral obsoletion;fraying in a tympanic lurch.
We’re all waiting, waiting for the day when our Lord will come; the day where we can live in peace and harmony away from this worldly abomination.
War, hunger, and death surround me.
I pray that He is here.
"Do not be afaid."
Storms rage, dark is growing stronger.
I cry out to Him.
"Do not be afraid."
The antichrist has come.
The road is marked with sorrow,
My undeserving hollow
Heart waits for every morning,
When it wakes refreshed from its mourning
