That's Not My Job
That’s Not My Job!
This is a story about four people: everybody, somebody, anybody, and nobody.
There was an important job to be done and everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was...

You are a perfect painted picture of perfection.
your beauty, your essences, your warmth, your love, and your presence.
You give me the feeling of heaven on earth,
You're my inspiration and my motivation.
You are truly God's greatest...

Self-Motivation
Just sitting here, brainstorming, doing some heavy thinking
Looking back to the night my case happened when I was tweaking
I had many chances and I had multiple opportunities
There were many people in my lifetime who wanted the best for me
...
The Walk-In
My body shivers in the moonlight
And my breath looks like spirits floating by.
As the dying embers of a long burning flame
Dissipate into the cold night sky.
The rhythm of my heart shows its beat
As death of silence lingers about.

Happiness
Happiness is a feeling I’ve not known for awhile
No sunshine life, not even a smile.
Life spending each day lost in total defeat
My life’s a shattered puzzle that’s nowhere complete.
So lonely at night not having anyone else
Trapped in rain,...

Thoughts Through My Eyes
Nobody knows the visual of my thoughts….
…of burning babies with cries of “save me”…
Nothing but hatred in my teardrops.
Fighting the power that has infested my human nature with greed…
As life continues to become a struggle just to...

Both Worlds
A bright blue sky,
A sunny day,
What a morning
It is today.
Opening up the window
To a cool breeze
And fresh air,
One can be lost
In thought often
But not in despair.
This is rare, but
How often do you

HONESTY
Houk Just to be Honest – Honestly – Honesty do not exist.
Just to be Honest – Honestly – Honesty do not exist.
Here’s the gist of it
Being shot down,
Slaughtered and murdered in
The streets, over-sentenced and
Buried alive in these

Craving My Missing Affair
Our separation is a tragedy I can’t bear
Craving this agony of an affair
It leaves my heart with a tear
But when I’m free we will reunite
Our embrace will be tight
And this love will be a spicy delight
...
Untitled
My heart blackened – from burnt.
Shriveled and hardened
To a piece of unenergetic coal
Useless and pointless…
Hmmmm…
How did my organ morph? Was there ever a chance?
What is … -- love.
A foreign word tumbles off my tongue.
I can...
Beauty
Beauty starts with personality
With you that’s reality
Your smile is like a star
So bright it shines afar
Seeing you makes my day
I think of you when you’re away
Beauty is when you smile
Been liking you for a while
Am I wrong for...
Cul-de-sac
Frost of true colors in a freeze of time, without a guide how can you overpass the dark. Crumble in confuse with the word goodbye or by people that claim everything is matter of time. Scale without balance are the day and the night, I’m healing the scars with the tears of my eyes. True colors...

Cold frozen springs,
Defines the world at its boldest theme,
But the most beautiful and strongest women I’ve seen,
Brings warmth in what seems like the coldest dream,
She wakes me up to gorgeous bright lights,
From which shines from her heart,
Yes...

“Letters”
By Fabion D. Brown
No one can tell you it’s not real
You love how it makes you feel
It’s like a wish from a star
Getting letters while behind bars
See it’s hard not being free
But harder when you’re lonely
We all want someone to be...
What Is Usually Called Delirious
I have searched long out of this window of despair
But have found answers to the questions I’ve aired
I’m called a mystic to some and a clown to others
From the belief in a world that is more than just letters
I reach out with my mind towards the tallest...
Covid-19
Covid-19
From overseas it came, so quickly it spread, it has left so many hurting, and so many others dead.
Mass confusion and disruptions, uncertainty and pain, after every newscast, I am left racking my brain.
How could this happen, how could this be? So unprepared we...

Inside a Woman's Mind
I'm swimming in the depth of emotions,
floating on love,
watching eruption after eruption
coming from the seat of her soul.
Delighted by her satisfaction of given,
it seems her pleasure stems from making others significant....
Robert Tillman
Flawed
I'm flawed, damaged in all
Imperfections all through my spectrum.
I slowly yield to correction
I make mistakes, it seems my apologies are always a day too late. ...
My Moon
IMAGINATION RUNNING WILD
CITY SCAPES, THE SMELL OF YOUR PERFUME.
TEMPTATION BURNING FIRE
BODY HEAT. THE INFERNO OF OUR ROOM
DETERMINATION ON THE RISE
THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES. MY FLOWER BLOOM.
ADDICTION TAKE ME HIGHER
EMOTION IS ME. MY MOON
Kate’s Poem XI “A Photograph’s Time”
I hold a picture and wonder
How much time does it hold
Has time stopped to allow its capture
If even for the briefest moment
Or when I look upon the frame
Is the infinite held in my hand
Does this image exist in time or outside time simultaneously...
Bookmarks
Feelings pass like seasons in our lives
Holding meaning, causing pain
Love is the bookmark that holds the page
We turn them to move forward
Yet they hold a place in us forever
They bookmarks in our heart
Change us in ways we can’t always see...
Lost In Sight
The dissolution of identity
Begins along the incremental path of compromise
Step by step we move along
Forgetting where it all began
Looking back seems more inventive than reality
As we maunder about along the fringe
Of what was a boundary line of...
It's Hard But Fair
It's hard but it's fair,
Like the restriction of air,
Like the loss of hair,
Similar to the hunger of a child,
Similar to the domestication of the wild.
There is so much suffering people have to endure,
Consider the sick who have no cure.

Grateful Healing
“Grateful Healing”
What words can express my deep gratitude? To be thankful for the walls of healing. For dark sin caused my feet to keep falling, yet confinement set me free from my shame. Recovery heals lost addicts like me, even wearing white clothes makes the heart glad, as family or...
Reality
“Reality”
I’ve fought hard to survive out in the streets. I did what I thought it took to survive and to eat, there were a lot of times that I doubted another day, but I sacrificed pieces of myself to find the way.
I stood for the most part, alone in the game, taking my own...
The Dance
It’s a Dream that our Dreams
Become a true Reality
A Real Actuality
A truly blissful life we lead
And I don’t choose to take the lead
But hope someday you’ll follow me.
Oh, lately it’s been going wrong
And no one sees or...

This Poem Is Called
“A Letter”
You will never know what a letter can mean until
You have been where I am, or seen what I’ve seen.
I’m confined to a world, behind four walls
Where no one sees me and I receive no calls!
Even when I’m asleep I’m awakened,...

The Day
By Christopher Thompson
From the first time our eyes met and I saw you across the room, my heart skipped not once but twice and I knew I was doomed.
You had a smile that glowed like the sun shimmering ever so bright. Your eyes so fresh, so caring, so passionate they...
