Moving OnHow do you move on?
When you’ve lost your entire universe
In the blink of an eye they’re now gone
When all that is left is painful memories
How do you continue?
When your mind starts to fill with regret
And all you can think about is those last words you never ment
When you wish you could just take it all...

All AloneI heard that you were dying, and I wanted to reach out, but it had been years since we had spoken and this in my mind planted doubts
I should have just gone against my better judgment and did what I knew to be right, but my life had changed so much since we had last...

A Bus TragedyA tragedy occurred was the news
A young boy died in a bus crash
He was with other students too
When the bus got a tire flat
To send your child on a field trip
And have it end his life is insane
Parents hearts forever ripped
Finally they released his name
Maybe seat belts on busses may
Void a future tragedy one day
But...

The DayThis is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head
This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals
This is the day
We knew would be
That thorny cap
Of destiny
Awaits the king
Of hearts and minds
Releasing all the
Chain that binds
This is the day
A final feast
Then walk to face
The mighty beast
A farewell toast
A hug...

Percent of my HeartMy phone was at 87 percent.
The day seemed heaven sent.
Even though my friend was headed back to his home state.
I still think the day went great.
I’m at 48 percent still.
As my phone rests on that window sill.
I wonder if he thinks of me as a dusty file.
I haven’t charged my...

6th Death Anniversary at the grave2025.4.16
Today, it is my late friend AP's 6th death anniversary.
This morning, I visited him
And brought with me not only the usual,
But three more new items
A popular book "The Art of Happiness",
A new published "The Holly book of the Foreskin"
And a frame of my embroidery work,
Consisted of a poem of farewell best wishes,
The song "La Paloma"....

The 6th Death Anniversary2025.4.16
Six year passing.
It was an early Tuesday morning.
You laid on your sick bed without moving.
For a while, you laid still with your eyes closed.
I decided to get close and climbed on your bed,
Placed my ear against your chest.
Tried to listen for your heart beats.
You breathed gently on my hair.
I was relieved and stayed still.
That was...

FRIENDSFond memories shared to the end of time
Remember the good times and the bad
Interesting stories of our childhood past
Endless time but not forgotten
No longer together, ageless
Don’t let go
Sadly end

Paris, the tiny starIn a world too big for one so small,
You walked with pride, stood ten feet tall.
A heart of gold in a dainty frame,
Paris, sweet pup, we still say your name.
Your paws once tapped across the floor,
A rhythm we won’t hear anymore.
But echoes linger in every room,
A light that cuts through even gloom.
Wrapped in bows or...

A Mirror is Sand and Water As
One
grain drops.
Time begins,
or keeps going—
it’s hard to tell which.
Necks pinch into purpose.
Pressure makes the moment's weight—
its glass throat narrows in, knowing:
the longer it holds, the less it means.
We reflect shapes only edges can name.
We reflect edges only shapes can name.
The longer it holds, the less it means—
its glass throat narrows in, knowing
pressure makes the moment's...

Sonnet to the Wakanda King: Chadwick BosemanA man had returned to the dust!
His friends had called to check on him
On this twenty-eight of August.
Not knowing he was a victim.
The night before, all three of them:
Greg Reid, Javon, and Michael B.
Knowing he was for them a gem,
Made sure, at home, he had to be.
Now, did they know he was dying
Or did...

God always talks to meI have something good to say.
It happens to me everyday.
God talks to me.
Whenever things in my life go wrong.
I go somewhere to be alone.
So, God can talk to me.
In life there are times when I fear.
I stand still so I can hear.
God talk to me.
As I begin a brand new day.
I want his guidance so...

The music and I2025.4.11
Every day, I get up early, travel to M Central.
I waited for the piano to be available.
As soon as I opened its lid,
I wiped the keyboard clean.
Well, that perfectly fitted my nickname "Captain hygiene".
Currently, the first piece of music
Would always be the "Fall for you",
I did that to welcome the Autumn season.
As well as my...

Ohh little one
The world knew not for you let no one,
Not to find out, but kept your woes.
Your thoughts became your biggest foes.
You belittled yourself if not fitted.
Where is your voice hidden?
That all at once you just quitted,
The life so good one would be smitten.
You woke the alarms of death,
And broke the hearts of...

Forever Flick
He was holding a football
when our eyes first met,
seeing beyond our years.
Catching the missile, flying, he was surprised.
We smiled.
We were only six.
His name was Flick.
That’s what his daddy called him--
when his daddy was around.
“We’ll go to school together, we’ll be friends.”
Flick was a dreamer!
We did become pals,
rendezvous after school
on the playground with other kids.
Derision, syllables...
