There’s No Money in Poetry.. (Why is That?) #writtenverse
Poets are smart enough to locate the seeds of inspiration/ Wise enough to prepare those seeds for cultivation/ Clever enough to harvest the words/ Seasoned enough to roll up the herbs/ and blow smoke into pronouns/ metaphors and verbs/ Haikus and Testimonies/ Shadowboxing with soliloquies/ Stanzas/ novels and sweet melodies/ The Earth is the […]
The Fear & Love Poetry Cypher (Finale Verse)
I remember how fake I was when the word “real” was popular/ Now I know better and do better exposing truth passionately/ A dragon doing his best to breath fire with his mind as a pilot light/ Inspiring those who inspire me with testimonial melodies/ The loyalty of a heartbeat giving you love to the […]

People Lie, Actions & Energy Don’t
People lie for a number of reasons. Some lie to protect a secret, others lie to cover up lies they’ve already told. Some lie so they won’t hurt your feelings. Some lie to you so that they can make you feel the pain that they themselves feel. Some lie for sport, doing so with a […]

An Open Letter to the Bride & Groom to be/ you are in love/ I know the love exchange of yang & yin well/ It makes you weightless as it tip-toes through the both of your hearts/ Dancing like Fred Astaire & Ginger Rodgers/ Dancing like the angels do in space/ You […]
Letting That Which Does Not Matter Truly Slide
Letting That Which Does Not Matter Truly Slide A lover leaves you after they’ve deceived you. A job let’s you go because you threaten the bosses position with your I.Q. A family member you confided in puts all of your business out in the streets and doesn’t even get […]

A relaxed person without worry for example, might come home from work to find his/her door unlocked and their first thought may be to […]
Open Letter to an Angel.
My Dearest Angel: The Sun hit my face between clouds passing and it made me think of you. How in the midst of a storm and through the mist of the rain, you came into my life. Before you I knew much but after you grew wise. I will always love you for […]
How Noble is a Fuckboy.. Really?
How Noble is a Fuckboy.. Really? By now I believe we’ve all at least heard the term “Fuckboy”/ For those who have not/ perhaps you’ll learn/ Right now I’m using it as a form of generalization/ Similar to the broad stroke of a paint brush/ a technique of a performance poet to gain a reaction […]
