My poetry
is a little dark;
Because
I like to illuminate my shadows
instead of
carrying them
with me.

Bad Vision
How much I take in
from just observing
the people and things around me…
But often more than never
the beautiful act
of being watchful
shows me ugly truths
about others.
And…
Every now and then,
I question my own vision.

Other People
Other people’s writings
are better than mine;
Yes, it’s true.
Undeniably better –
still I write,
not in hopes I’ll ever be similar,
Only because
my self-expression
is a primary lifeline –
Buoy in the mercurial seas
of uncertain chaos.
Good, Misunderstood
All our perception of Bad really is
is just
Good,
misunderstood.
[Reflection] Age of Transcendence
Why are we all so worried about getting/ being old? Signs of aging are such beautiful things – Each grey hair, wrinkle, mole, and freckle are the small evidences of wisdom we’ve received as we transcend life’s experiences; and overcome the obstacles we encounter as we journey our life paths. Embrace your age! You’re still a beautiful being, no matter what.
[Soul Memories] On a 9 Day
I was once a totally different person
In an entirely different place
than this.
Once,
when I was…
Ignorant.
Wandering Antenna
In the background,
Sadé is crying everyone’s tears
and me, I just…
feel everyone’s feelings,
a wandering antenna
picking up the static
hidden behind waves –
not meant for shore;
Life is no beach.
Lapping in endless marathons
around frequencies unseen,
a maypole dance
of uncharged energy
for which I’m the conduit –
Like the crossed signals
of a broken remote;
sometimes,
I struggle to change the channels.
