Love Renaissance

Have we the courage
to reinvigorate a culture
whereby learning the truth
about who we are as a people
demonstrate a lasting, long overdue  

Love
Renaissance

Yearning for Love
many desire to be loved

Come what may
Could You Be Love?

Enduring Love
comes straight from God

It is the lack thereof
that stifles... Love

A treasure trove
awaiting discovery ~

Give the Drummer Some

Brother , sister
mister, misses
mother,
cousin,
dada,

listen...

Black lives matter
above all the chatter
in spite of all the data
to the contrary sadder

Uncorrupted, 
it is your intrinsic nature
to embody the sanctity of Love

Dance
to the beat
of self-respect
educated by the beat of the drum  

Emulate the source of given powers
honor and protect your women
arm your children well 

Give the drummer some
ancestor worship
on the run ~

Because
Black lives
will only matter
should it matter to you

Chronic Pain

Back
in the game
hell-bent for fame
fucks with your aim  
snuffs out the flame ~

Numbly insane
feeling no pain
healing the lame 
drives men insane

Death is sustained
life ain't the same 
all that remains
rests in the
grave

God got your back
you still on 
that?

Channel One Hiatus 

Look 

at all ~ 

God gave us 

In sin

yet She

forgave us

In spite 

of man’s hiatus  

His Son was sent to save us 

Immortal Jazz

Immortal Jazz
>>>>>><<<<<<

Like deciduous teeth that children shed
soul re-emerges risen from the dead
more alive in a syncopated beat ~
than the bodacious lie
that spells its defeat
progressive jazz
our sleeper cell
alive and well
uprooting
Hell

Truncated L-o-v-e

Something of you we share
long after you're gone
How do I know?

TRUST ME
I've been here before

L-o-v-e
is here to stay

It's a continuum...
a progression of life
to yet again get it right

Not a do over as some
would have you believe
but rather an eternal stage

where to be or not to be
is not the question

Wherefore ~
The Bard is quoted as having said
This you should pity rather than despise

Gumdrop Jewels Glowing

Right or wrong
I sing a song
no muse alone
can use

Homies on ~
bloody poems
telling lies
the truth

Everyman
expresso
poetry
tea

God sent
Blessing
Creativity

Filled
to overflowing
gumdrop / jewels / glowing

This is why I write
what is your delight?
