Headlights

I saw you in the headlights of your Altima today

Your visage shook me and my legs began to sway

To bask in your radiant glow is not something I expected to do

Just reminds me of how much I miss you

I’m not the only one, so I try to keep quiet 

But I crumbled in front of your Altima, and I couldn’t deny it

Blinded by you in the headlights, eyes weeping for my brother

Sad for this world, knowing there will never be another 

With a hollow smile I will tell your legend to your God Kids

But i still envision you driving that Altima when I close my eyelids….

Till Death Do Us Part

Bond by rings eternal, till death do us part

Rings fall from fingers, hearts cease to start

Souls linked together, as long as we have life

Yet somehow I died and loss my wife

It begins with the finality of death do us part

An allusion to failure from the start 

Caustically crisp, concise contract of I Do

A curse if never uttered may have saved you

Till death do us part means I’m an Undead

Seeking love I’ll never find to keep my soul fed

A ravenous zombie, hopeless and lost

Praying my innocent loves don’t pay the cost

Till death do us part, simply a fallacy 

A Union that ups relationship mortality 

I wish my soulless eyes saw this happening

Then I would have loved you eternally, without that wedding ring

Muscle Memory

It takes 5-53 muscles to smile

Heartbreak only requires 1

With you I could handle any work any style 

Without you my soul is done

Muscles withered and wasting away

A soul too weak to thrive

A dead love that kept darkness at bay

A heart ruptured and barely alive

The muscles remember when things were good

They ache for those days to return

But the soul has weakened more than it should

Now the muscles eternally burn

Weakness is my way for a while

No strength to even look to the sun…

It takes 5-53 muscles to smile….

…Heartbreak only requires 1.

Truth and lies

What if the calm lie hid the chaotic truth?
Could you tell the difference, could you sleuth?
Both are quite similar, I am unhinged
In or sane, always on the fringe
Discussing mental deficits with vivid imagery
Screaming out my depression with this poetry
All so you think it’s a game
A guise to obtain fame
You think life is a walk in the park
But I’m drowning in my dark
My apologies I meant heart
But where does the dark end and the blood start?
No answer, wait let me make a joke!
Sarcasm can erase every fear I spoke
I’m black let me focus on fighting oppression.
There is no such thing as depression
Such an immaculate costume
Makes my soul spew black fumes
Could you tell the difference in me, could you sleuth?
What if a calm lie, hid the chaotic truth?

Light and Dark

The darkness within the light

Ever present ready to break the surface with fright

It’s never far away

Always there, every single day

You thought you were a hero

The world reminded you that your worth is zero

So the darkness is strong

Ever proving the light is wrong

You tried to pray to those above

Lamenting that you wish you were full of love

Wishing your prayers keep the Gods fed

But the crushing pain in your chest tells you God’s dead/

The darkness is ever devouring

Swallowing you down into acid ever scouring

Fist unclenched, loss of will to fight

The darkness has surrounded the light

All light starting to dim and fade

The luminescent swan song is being played

The darkness is all there is, all there will be

The light within dampened, trapped for all eternity

Happy boy, Sad man

My sweet spring bore a bitter winter

But I can’t recall where my life began to splinter/

I was loved, was the happiest of progeny

Now it seems I’m employed by the depression agency/

This surely wasn’t my life’s plan…

Happy boy, Sad man….

My fragrant breeze of spring beget a pungent gale of winter/

But when did my smile burn to cinders?

I had the entire world, in control of its motion

Now I don’t even master my emotion

Disheartened, broken head of my clan,

The Happy Boy, and Sad Man

Intrusive Thoughts

Be quiet, Hide under the covers, Don’t wake!

Shun the light and Don’t heed the voices, They’re Fake!

Push through the pain as your brain rots

Face the mirror backwards to hide from the Intrusive Thoughts

That reflection isn’t you, just because it has your face

it’s intrusive thoughts coming to take your place

Sneering in the inverse beckoning the sin

The depression is starting to manifest, Darkness covets a win

The intrusive thoughts are getting too heavy to lift

Chemicals are waning i’m starting to feel a shift

Becoming forgetful now, forgetting my life’s role

Intrusive thoughts are devouring my soul

So be quiet, get lost in a dream, Don’t wake!

Run from the light, fear the voices, they’re fake!

Endure the sepsis of soul as your brain rots

Face the mirror backwards to hide from the Intrusive Thoughts…

Journey To Parenthood, Poetry

The Best Part of Me

Oh Sweet Summer Child of Mine

With a prominent curly crown and melanin filled skin divine

I grow in awe of you, every second of every hour

Get lost in your endearing eyes that radiate power

The world didn’t know beauty until your birth

and that’s just one of your soul’s many gifts on this Earth

A black king who’s brilliance is unmatched

A smile that’ll make angels blush, How could anyone not grow attached?

I asked for a light in the darkness and God gave me a son

I may be slightly biased, but I believe you are the Chosen one

It’s been the greatest honor watching you grow

I’m sometimes still in shock that i’m a part of this show

I promise to love and support you, give you every part of me

Just to make sure you grow into a powerful king for all to see

Tribute to the Sun

As long as the sun illuminates my eyes

I’ll have the insatiable desire to plant in the garden between your thighs

Oh to press my warm lips to the petals of your delicate rose

Gently drinking your life dew as my nature grows

With every sip I shiver as I anticipate diving in your river

Using every inch of my power to make the bed quick until you quiver

Something we’ve done countless times before, yet always feels new

Our bodies screaming in ecstasy as i dive into you

Ravaging your soul all night until the job is done

So we can offer up our orgasm as tribute to the morning sun

Pills for Feels

What do you do when feeling useless becomes the norm?

When you’ve given up and got lost in the storm

You’ve gone 12 rounds and got beat down by life

Strewn across the surgery table under anxiety’s knife

Shattered rose colored glasses, blinded to the poetic

Battered by a cyclone of rage, and oh so unapologetic

This is now the normal homeostasis

Forced to go into the world with several wounded faces

You desire to heal those wounds, so down the drugs

Everything is better with daily chemical hugs

to feel normal, be human, this is the cost

But what do you do when you’re doped up and lost?
