I do Hi Coo

big girls dont cry so
she kept the secret close and
let it consume her


her eyebrows are gone
shaved them in a fit of rage
filled them in later


wheat thins are like crack
they wont let go of my soul
i wont drop the bag

Sanity

the hold: tenuous
i'm not sure how much longer
i can hang on for

Piece

take what you must but
leave me intact so that i
live to breathe again


Goliath

im still waiting for
your loincloth to fly up and
reveal your blue balls


i'm not a poet
yet my soul speaks melodies,
a friend once told me

i remember when
i knew not what hate was, Then.....
reality struck



fingers linger.sigh
hands trace form and i shudder
never felt this way

unfettered passion
eyes that dare me to bare all
i do.uncertain

i see you when i
look into the mirror and
it frightens me

you never knew love
never showed me any and
maybe you just can't

there aint no way i'm
dancing a jig for nobody
i won't play the fool

you listen when they
tell you that you're of no worth
then believe their lies

i got you sucka
thought you could escape my wrath
ha.well think again

You are very talented. I love Piece as well and the one about hate.

living life for others
has taken its toll. Now I'm
living life for me

You had me confused for a minute. I thought it all went together and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! A series of haiku(s).

Now excuse me while I go flog myself for my incompetence.

Co-sign.




I have to sit and gather my thoughts on poetry, but I easily can come with a little freestyle real life prose.


stressed out, test out
never put the sess out
blame it on my childhood
didnt always take the best route
life is like a deathbout
battle on the edge
took it straight to the head
and i remember what they said




its just a shame
many brothers stuck with the pain
no future, no hopes, no dreams
just a part of a game
so who to blame...the white man?
im tired of that frame



i will be your strength
when you are weak
your eyes when you seek
but dont creep
these snake and fakes
they try to infiltrate, blind you
so if you get lost
i wont find you
