A Poem of Lies


 A lover of winter 

Selfishly I sit in the window gazing down at the peasants below


Ignoring a 600 pound cheetah waiting for his meal in the background 


Absorbed in the materials of the world believing it will bring me all the joy I ever wanted.


Scrolling without awareness of time, knowing my next move will be determined by the newest trending topic


A life of ease wouldn't you say?


The season of Mr. Frost 

An awful view 

A hungry predator 

All the bags and shoes I can buy

And my social media following ; who determine what I like, where I'm going this weekend and my very next move 


What a life!

UNTITLED pT. 2

 P raying for the healing of a soul tie that shouldn’t even exist  I long to be free of it all. Questioning what is feels like to be untouched  Un- tainted. Still ignorant to the world in a way; that you can only know it through the sharing of your body with another  Tied in the wrong knot  Knotted in a covenant  of unholiness with a baptized infant in Christ who never mentions Him How unholy of me… This life is overwhelming, confusing, exciting, and  complex all at the same time  Add anything else into it like:  Race Class Religion Opinion Thought  A hypothetical question  And shit really gets hectic  I don’t know really know where I was going but my end is here…..   Everyday we wake anew  Given an opportunity to be renewed  Time is of the essence  And every day is a blessing   a sign that something is to come Something bigger, something grander Something unlike any other one Until that day ...

The Problem

  I am the problem. It’s true I knew what would happen  walking thru your doors  I wanted you  To want me  Hoping I could ride the line of sin and saved  Saying no but acting out yes  I wanted you to  Want me too Just enough for my half in half out to be good enough for you to say  I want you and I want you to stay. I’m the problem because you were up front from the start  Which made me want you even more  There no excuse for my recklessness  If I’m honest I’ve existed in different forms of this dysfunction for centuries  I hate that for me  I’d love that for you  If you were willing to be blind for me  But I don’t recommend it.  Cause I can see that I am the problem. And I want you even more because you won’t let me be … Your problem.

One Person

  It takes one person.  One person to see you  One person to say you can  One person to have faith in you  One person to believe even when you do not  It also takes one person to discourage  One person to crush a spirit  One person to say you cannot  One person to assist in the creation of disbelief in oneself… Which one are you?
