POLITICAL SPRINGAlthough it is spring,
Cold political raindrops
Continue to fall:-
But do not worry,
“God’s gon trouble tha water…”,
Damming injustice:
In the renewal of spring,
We shall also overcome:-

POETIC GIGGING: Apropos Of My Hot ToddyAfter a tired
labor of love day
got on the Trane
and after a few Miles
I reached Monk
later laying
back travelling
towards Sarah
and Nina
and after
getting Dizzy
headed West
boarded Bird
flying onto Art
leaving me
to ink
this poetic flow
I’m sharing with you
before my melatonin
MJQ disembark
to peacefully Cannonball
deeply into
poetic gigging…

Overcoming the Storm OVERCOMING THE STORM
Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages.
Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages.
It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle.
Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards...

Delusion is my WorldWhy does delusion seem to be the only reality I know?
Almost never catching myself when my mind starts to go
Is delusion my real reality though?
Snapping in & out of this dimension
Which I should mention,
Is beyond my comprehension of an
Intervention for redemption or reinvention
What's your intention?
My soul can't take anymore pain...
I don't get what you...

Finding Poetry’s VoiceI used to think poems lived in leather-bound books,
guarded by professors with stern looks,
that words worth speaking needed permission,
academic citations, scholarly submission.
I sat in corners swallowing syllables,
choking on metaphors I couldn't pronounce,
wondering why my tongue tied itself in knots
while others spoke verses smooth as river stones.
The first time I wrote something real,
my hands shook like...
