Black Flower Flourishing
Black flower flourishing
cracking, shifting, shattering in what once was
a heart
wonder and want so briefly known
the Gardener
of small growths and buds
in the shadows bad seeds planted
poison gushing and rot results
never again now long forgotten

Etchings
Etched in the mind
the shape of her face
the warmth of her smile
Etched in the mind
her silhouette aginist the wall
her scent fresh and sweet
Etched in the mind
her voice whispering words of love
her arms firm yet soft
Etched in the mind
a kiss that lingers for all eternity
a hug that never is released
Etched in the mind
a time of love;a time of happiness
a time of sharing;a time of passion
a time of pain;a time that ended
Etched in the mind
memories
Etched in the mind
forever love

Boys to Men
My man, my main man…
My dawg, my boy
My homie, my NIGGA
What are you doing?
What is your plan,
To stay a boy or be a man?
I know it was easy as a child,
Not taking any responsibility,
And running wild…
When you were a teen,
all you had to be was cool
Be the class clown
And play sports after school…
Chasing women and gettin' high
You kissed the girls and made them cry…
But don't you think there is more to life,
A career, some property and of course a wife?
Don't you think it's time to grow up,
Playin' for 21 years, wasn't that enough?
Haven't you learned anything along your path,
If you don't grow up
You will be old, broke, and alone…You do the math
So heed my warning and listen please
A Boy in a Mans body is a horror to see!!!
