Labeling

Where color goes so does some snickery
They stare at my head right down to my toes.
Mumbling things such a bickery
Bug eyed shivery their faces aglow
But I’m not crook
Is it my shade
That gives you that fake smile
So you keep your place?
Where color goes so does this file
Labeling by the races

Poem # 6 Written March 1990
This more of racism or labeling things in life.

This Artificial Thing

This artificial thing, it’s conceived
Born into a world of make believe
Viewing life on it’s defense
Learning things that make no sense

This timing of life not bitter, nor sweet
It’s the moment when life versus death greets
This artificial thing has deceived
Died from a world so called make believe

Blinding death on its offense
Yearning things that made some sense
This timing of death so better, so sweet
It’s the moment we don’t want to meet.

Poem # 5 Written Jan 1990


Added on

This artificial thing isn’t received
Rejoicing world that made grieve
Understanding things that were so dense

Acknowledging things that’s enhance
This timing this eternal things
It’s the moment when freedom rings
This artificial things we do heave
It is someday true, we all must leave

A Flash Resting Gracefully

During the early
Lazy hours
While laying ahead
Just dreaming, quietly
A flash pops outside my bed
A blue image with sprinkling
Dense of white, so fair coming
In my closet by night
Barely a seconds glance
My thoughts processing to hear
Consciously closing my eyes
Progressing the fear
Realizing darkness
Glowing so sad
A phone call baring
News about my dad
Peacefully this grief
Falsely goes away
A flash resting
Gracefully
While I lay

Poem # 4 Written March 17, 1990
This is a testimony of the morning my father passed on.

A Flash Resting
During the early lazy hours while laying ahead
Jus dreaming, quietly a flash pops outside my bed
Blue image with sprinkling dense of white
So fair coming in my closet by night
Barely a seconds glance my thoughts processing to hear
Consciously closing my eyes progressing my fears
Realizing darkness glowing so sad
A phone call baring news about my dad
Gracefully this grief falsely foes away
A flash resting spiritually Bid-Day
peacefully while I lay

Cycles Of Motions

I open my eyes, things become blurry
Everything seem to be in a hurry

Colors blend wavy and broken
Chatting as if they were tokens

This is blizzard what a notion
Cycles going through the motions.

Poem # 3 Written 12 March 1989
Cycles Of Motions.


I open my eyes
Things become blurry

Everything seems
To be in a hurry

Colors blend
Wavy and broken

Chatting as if
They were tokens

This is buzzard
What a notion

Cycles going
Through the motions

Poem # 3 Re Written ?

Stupidity

A moment of silence I hear a sound
Slowly, I walk with my head to the ground
My eyes fill with tears
I’ve heard it for years

My swallow taste dry
Though I sense a cry
Tears roll down my face
It’s the same old case
As I shake my head I turn around
..Bold so beautiful my shade of brown

I wipe my tears
Nothing to fear
My cry is no of sorrow or blame
It’s our stupidity That’s a shame.

Thanks for reading.
Poem # 2 Written March 1989
This idea came from an experience that I had in Senior high at Central.
There were some boys in the seating.
I walked by.
I heard one of them say the N word.
I turned around. All of them had their heads downs.
Some were laughing.
I didn’t say anything.

Shyness

Utterness swallows taste
No substance to my case
Most secrets that dwell
Silence know very well
Find voices that can seek
Those words that I speak
Matter touch but don’t feel
Motionless, that’s my chill
Fragrant sense no smell
Peacefulness that my spell
Listen sounds, I can hear
Hush noises don’t fear
Plans see things as I blink
Ideas know I think
View all scene as I see
Tranquilises with a key
All secrets where I dwell
Shyness know very well

#1 B
Written 3 May/ 9 August 1989
I wrote this as a testimony of being shy.

I Am

I am the utterance that knows your case
I can’t swallow the substance to what you taste

I know most of the secrets to where you dwell
I am the silence that knows you so very well

I may be the voice to what you seek
I know most of the words that you speak

I can’t touch the matter to what you feel
I am the motionless that know your chill

I can’t sense the fragrant to what you smell
I am the peacefulness that knows your spell

I can’t listen to the sounds to what you hear.
I am the hush that know your fear

I know most of the plans as you blink
I may be the idea to what you think

I can’t view the scenes to what you see
I am the tranquilises that knows your key

I know all the secrets to where you dwell
I am the shyness that know you so very well

Some Things Have Endings

Some things have endings
We need to let go
Time to take a bow
Just move with the flow

Hard times come our way
LORD, help us get through
What's before our path
In all that we do

We need to let go
Make most of the stay
Time to take a bow
As we come to pray

LORD, help to get through
We need to let go

Keep us in life's flow

First Map It Out Right

Why do I do things
That causes some shame
Things I know better
I'm the one to blame

Awaken to see
What's there to be done
Need to pace the time
There's no limit, none

So finish projects
Planning out each task
First map it out right
But don't work to fast

So doing what's needed
It's truly a must
First Map It Out Right
Move on do what just

Can't Have Everything

We pretend to think
People will chit chat
When we want them to
But it's not all that

People will, will speak
All who want to speak
Come to realize
It's not about you

People are people
Pretend that we think
Can't Have Everything

Watching And Waiting

Watching and waiting
Wondering ahead
What's there to become
Needing not to dread

In the worst of times
That's spoken what's said
What people may say
From what they have read

We don't know what's up
Ahead down the road
Hoping and praying
Don't need heavy loads

Watching the river
In the way it flows
Water rising high
For we just don't know

When it will happen
Needing not to dread
Watching And Waiting
Wondering ahead

Coming to my thoughts

Our eyes can play tricks
What appears to be

We think what we think

But when true light shines
We sing a new song

For all that He brings

Down from the north side
On to south ward land
Water marks that slides

Pushing out of place
What's there, in its way

We think questions why?

Why does this happened?

Along Missouri's banks
Evacuation needed
From the level that ranks

Remembering ninety three
O what horror that was
Taking precaution now
In the past years because

Of what we went through then

Preparing for that day

Overflowing the banks
We're standing on our grounds

Glittering in eyes

There's Good In Laughter

Fun playing along
The path that's ahead
Just having some fun
As we're Spirit lead

There's good in laughter
Some joking around
Brings joy to the soul
Good friends that surrounds

Our lives connected
As we go our way
The path that's ahead
Life's journey displays

Some humor springs up
That loosen the pain
There's Good In Laughter
Great laughter to gain

What Life Can Become

Life is beautiful
For all, we will see
What life can become
As we learn to be

Moved by the Spirit
Through what comes our way
Pain, hardship, sorrow

Going through some things

Sharing what we do?

While we have gone through

Not allowing things
Once we loved to share
As though we don't care

Shared after the fact

Things we use to do
With all zeal at hand
Happy to go through

Can't make some things out
Frustrating at times
Makes me what to shout

When will this thing end?

To come across things
Searching and finding
What great joy that brings

To solve mysteries
Unlocking the past

Be known from what was
Clues unlock the past

It's Not Over Yet

It's not over yet
Still there's more to come
Thinking it's finish
While making up some

More to each story
Hidden from the past
Set time is coming
To reveal at last

Some of what happened
We don't know about
Thinking it's finish
While having some doubt

Set time is coming
For we do not know
It's not over yet
So look for info

Managing What Have

Getting in order
Things that needs to be
Tossing sorting stuff
More than eyes can see

Hope for the better
As time comes along
Setting in motion
Energy still strong

Order is needed
To keep things in place
Managing What Have
Maintaining this space

Gives Insight To Life

Reading old notebooks
From the journey's past
Give insight to life
From things that was asked

About family life
How things were back than
Things were much different
From the things back when

The past was the past
Now, now is to be
Explored and discovered
Yet, all come to see

From the journey's past
Now, now is to be
Gives Insight To Life
Present that we see
