Dead PoetsThe best poets lived a hundred years ago—
They ate fruits from trees of words,
And drank from lakes of structure.
They had bones made from song
And passion; they were born to write

When you flourish
When you're happy

Wy Did I Become A Poet
I’m a poet who was made not born
Molded by God through people, my inspiration
I became a poet so I can stand on my own
With God’s love and strength
Through my creative expression.
Poetry is my aesthetic...

Making Of A Poet
In the diaphanous sapphire night,
the drizzling dust of descending moonbeam
adorned the pearl-laced waves of the rolling sea,
where I sauntered in the desolate corridor of mind.
That is where I followed the footsteps of elusive...

Why did I become a PoetTruthfully, the question knocked me off my feet
Like I was zapped by the stun gun,
The question is so insipid, so jejune, so naive
so unsavory that I caught myself dumfounded.
How can you ‘become’ a poet?
Can you...

Divine Instrument of the SoulIn the silence, I feel it stir, a spark within my fingertips
a gentle nudging, a whispered promise, to bring forth the unseen
the hand, a vessel, a sacred tool, a bridge between the heart and mind

A void that begs to be filled with the whispers of my heart

Poet's Note
Giving voice to my dream, my hope, my belief,
Meant silencing doubts who clung like murky mist,
Listening to the light, which banished my grief.
Joy stirred my soul with hope I just couldn’t resist,
Causing me to kiss...

Smokey Filled Speak Easy
In the dim-lit alley of the soul's bazaar,
Were jazz and jive spill from ajar,
We tap our feet, snap fingers, under stars,
And speak in verses, raw and without pause.
The city breathes, a living, pulsing beat,
Its heart...

Why I became a poetWhen the sable ink flirted with the quill
How my muse blushed and blotted with a thrill
Upon parchment that submitted at will
To the words that began to overspill
At school I discovered 'tram' rhymed with 'scram'

Why Poetry
There was no purpose or plan
No mentor took me by the hand
I never knew 'if', 'what', or 'how'.

To listen to sounds
