Isolation
Isolation
Body trapped
But mind is racing.
A form of punishment.
More brutal than working
for close to nothing
13th Amendment
place this burden
upon the convicted
Slavery.
Derogatory Term
But Ironically
Saved Me...
A Second Chance
In the midst of my chaos
I once was way lost
Not being understood by most
My anger then arose,
There was a time when you
Couldn’t tell
This crzy youngsta from Hell
What to do
Nor what to say especially
In his

The way you make feel is like watching the most beautiful sunrise everyday. When I hear your voice it makes me feel like you're my only choice. The only one I want. Love, lust, and all. You're the piece in my heart that I've been missing.
Watching the sun fall night after night, I look...

Everyman. First Choice. A classics woman, someone to wake up to and say I love you and I will keep on loving you to the love freezeover, all I need is time with you and happiness. I can show you better than I can tell you. It’s like the breakway love thang with the all-American woman on the red...
For the Better
I believe that everything happens for a reason, good and bad, it’s all about how we react to these things. Do we use it to better ourselves or continue to stay in our old ways? It’s hard to change for the good, and easy to stay in the bad. Be different, want more for yourself, want more for your...
Want To Know You
To the lady I would like to meet, talk to, and become her friend: Some things only last an instant, other things are never meant to end. Even though we have never met, deciding to write you was my choice. I wish I could see the color of your eyes and hear the tone of your voice. I want to know...

The Inside of Me
REAL LOYALTY,
Don’t have to be Royalty,
Unwavering Once Earned,
Ride-or-Die what I learned,
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,
When you fit just like a Glove,
For those that deserve 97,
Fire stays forever lit,
TRULY CARING,
Even if...

2nd Sun
Why am I sad in the sun,
But feel glad when it rains?
You need more than imagination,
To imagine my pain.
Try to imagine my life,
Teenager witnessin’ death,
Never told a soul,
Kept that stuff to myself.
With no assistance or help,...

The suitor searches for a fertile hostess.
Hoping to harvest the fruits of his acquired knowledge of love

"I'm a Person"
What's life's purpose?
What's my purpose in life?
My search is bleak.
Life is deep
But I just scratched the surface.
I dig for truth because lies are worthless. What lies in the dirt
is the root of our curses.
We're blind to the...
Update
I have high hopes that someone likes what they see and chooses to email me, and if I send a letter you’ll write back! Now I don’t know if I made a profile too late or you ladies just don’t like what you see, but my profile has been up for months and I don’t have any hits. If you don’t like...
Relief
I stare down the pavement,
watching heat-waves dance upon the road as a ghostly aura.
Sweat drips across my naked skin, it drains from my face,
finding my burning eyes, adding a sting to the pain.
I dare not blink.
I can't breath....
Risk Taking Is Freedom
Risk Taking is Freedom
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self
To place our ideas and our dreams before a crowd is...
Vindicated Within: Inspired by Psalms 51
My merciful God, on account of your grace, lovingness, and
compassion wash away my sinful deed.
Bathe me in holy water, and let your righteousness make me
clean,
I understand and confess to you my wrongdoings,
and they shall be with me the rest of my...

My Reflections
My Reflections
What do they see when they look at me,
I can't help but wonder, yet fear what it may be.
Can they see my own pain and uncertainty,
of what to do in this life to be or not be?
Can they see the internal screams and cries from within?

Moonlight
Chaos continues to circulate inside a cell which wasn’t meant to produce order. Even in the darkest of nights peace becomes abnormal, and silence becomes a luxury. Yet still I patiently wait on your light to free me from a condition that is absolutely void of any illumination. Because of your...
Shout Out For 2020
Just a couple of things to get off my chest about a few people who need to be addressed. For one or two, a couple sentences will do. For three or four, I might need a paragraph or more.

Love of My Life
I’ve searched the world over to come to my destination,
I prayed to my creator for an explanation…
He said my son you need to find a true love,
So I got on the internet to...

You don’t know me, I don’t know you
Things always seem awkward,
When they so brand new
Whatever, you thinking about saying to me,
I’m probably thinking about saying to you.
Questions and answers, answers and questions,
Can make us better friends,

Life’s Journey
I stumble and stagger down life’s bitter road;
Burdened and weary from my heavy load.
Clouds of dust mark my path,
I taste the fury of The Grapes of Wrath.
Desolate and bitter I carry on;
Striving and struggling for whatever lies beyond....

In search of a lady
With rhythm and rhyme
Who makes the right moves
And moves at the right time
One who is sweet
So soft so tender...

Sitting back reminiscing on the life I never had,
Never had a wife and barely had a dad,
No positive role model to ever teach me how,
Had to learn by making mistakes, just...

"Dreams of Reality"
Last night I had the most beautiful dream
It was so real or so it did seem
I woke up from my slumber and a visitor appeared
It was you standing there with your eyes filled with tears
I pulled you close and whispered "Baby don't cry"
I...
What a Stressful Pandemic
What is stressful pandemic, as this pandemic breezes through our nation and distracts us from our lively form of dedication
We become more thankful for all of Allah's creation only from the fear of the destruction of this world
We tend to seem lost but the only right path to walk...

If U Were Mine…
If U were mine I’d study your heart until the beat is memorized
And demonstrate devotion through love exemplified.
I would be CEO to your sacred enterprise.
If U were mine…U would never ever be neglected.
Communication would be open, our lines would...
Silent Screams
Silent Screams
Silent screams you will never hear
Silent screams that burn my ears
Silent screams that walls of concrete muffle and steal
Metal bars that rust my tears
Alone in my cell trapped with fear
Fear of losing what’s most dear

Opportunity Poem

Reading your mind is like studying an astrology quiz, personality so unique, impossible to forget.
Don’t wanna know you by name, never judge you by looks, taking my time...
