While you were sleeping
I spied you there
Like a shadow in the night
Who would care
My thoughts were with you
What dreams did you seek
Or was warmth and food
The words you’d speak
Maybe a conversation
Would lift you up
Time shared
A priceless cup
Just a thought
From a passer by
How lonely do you get
Before you cry.........

About this poem:
Homelessness........
Post Comment
Can you feel this?
This……
Crawling
Screeching
Howling n reaching
Gut instinct teaching
And bleaching
Away the programming
Some perceive it as damning
But when you look n examine
This purpose
That reason
Don't curse as long as you're breathing
Embrace n own
Why moan n groan?
Tuned in to your own zone
Now ring that tone
Like E.T phone home
You're awaiting your own answer
Turn up the muzik n be a dancer
Life an open field for the chancer
Go get it
Don't fret n don't sweat it
Upset n annoy
Play them lika toy
Nothing or no1ne should have power over your joy

There’s an old bench seat
In a quiet city street
I like to sit on
Now and then
It exudes a quiet charm
No cause for alarm
And comforts me
Like and old friend
I can sit here and reflect
Understand and respect
What life has been
To those who surround
Plan my next move
Get into the groove
Or just wait
To see what will astound........

Look here
Let's
Maximise this bliss
More Love up into this
Sealed with a Loving kiss
From
My heart
My soul
My complete n whole
Unravelled n unfold
Did
Unfolded
Melted n moulded
Into this perfect perfection
So in Love with me I got an erection
Maybe I should be section
Sectioned
If that's the intention
Then I would be
It bes what it bes
And it breathes what it breathes
I bobs I weaves
And cleaves
To my soul
Which never lies n always knows
And so I grows
Who knows knows
Who flows grows
It's all
It's all it's everything
Like on the violin string
Let that rhythmical melody bring
Sight
And insight
When you look within and transform that dark to light
The only fight
Is always within
To hell with all the this them they say and what they're talking
I don't even own a television
I'm so deep n rooted grounded in this mission
Yet still I see all purpose n reason
Be n let be
For me
Shine brightly
Yes please
And thank you very much

I've been watching you
from a distance..
You didn't know~
Didn't know how much
I amired you..
I see things in
You..
Great things~
All those things
you can do..
All those things
you know~
Perhaps, you've not know
yourself..
the way others have..
Perhaps.. you will come.. Into the light~
Show the world
who you are..
Bring your talents
to light~
Give us the chance to see
the glory
of You~
Give us your love
and understanding..
The way only you can..
Show us the way
of you~
You say..
No one would notice..
You say..
They will not
understand..
But..
We are willing to try~
Yes!.. The world awaits you..
You know what you can do~
Perhaps its never been done before..
That's why.. You must step up
to the plate, and show the world.. The Greatness in You..

Seemingly
It seems to me
Effortlessly
Lika river it just flows
The way it grows curling up the toes
Sweet aromatic like rose
And I suppose
I man fully captivated
Like infatuated
Every moment in this Love is celebrated
Oh how long I've waited
To know or understand this Love
Born from the very essence of
My own being
Appreciating
And accepting me as I am
Don't like me
Pffft don't give a dam
I be like marmite
Bitter like lemon or sweet like jam
Only myself I can be
And I choose to infuse these views
With a Love vibrational fuse
These tools that I use giving me clues on what to dos n don't dos
So I suppoose
Or suppose
This light beams rather than glows
Real shizz we don't do puppy shows

she was tough
(as they come)
in a coat
of pain
she was harder
than diamonds
left out
in the rain
and she smiled
qualified
at how life
slipped away
and she wallowed
in strength
tíl her
final day
no one
knew her
her fame
was too great
so she built
a blood moat
that circled
her fate
sexy as hell
cold
as a stream
her talent
too vast
to thrive
in a team
so let it
all out
you might
as well
the back door
to heaven
is the entry
to hell
so sleep
little bird
but soar
like prayer
and I'll tell
the world
that once
you were here

When words that sink too deeply
Into our hearts like a knife
Our feelings discarded so cheaply
The true meaning of this life
When times that last too briefly
And so colorful is the rose
Are taken away as thiefly
Such beauty lost and goes
When life becomes too weary
Into dusk the day will grow
Sleepless as night is dreary
Despite all the stars that glow
When dreams become too scary
And darkness becomes old
One cannot become too wary
Until all the lies are told
When trust can save us really
So great a need in strife
Is something given so freely
For those who honor life
When faith renews so freshly
Just like the turning tide
Is all needed so specially
So smiles no longer hide

Respect is way over due
You don’t know what I am going through
Much less him or her
Stop judge n concur
Respect you
Respect me
Respect each n everybody
Respect breeds grace n harmony
A simple key & it is free
For what I put out comes back
That’s a natural spiritual fact
So that sudden impact
Of respect to me
Coming in like reflections reflectively
A sure cure to emancipate n free
That mind
That soul
After all isn’t that the goal
Give respect
Let it reflect
With intelligent intellect
You can perfect
This flow of energy
Not necessary to dwell in so much misery
And that’s the point you see
Perception tweak agree disagree
All I can do is speak think n act for me
If you feel it lika fisherman reel it n heal it
I mean
Your own soul
Give respect and watch the magik unfold

This journey through my own soul
Come lika black hole
When I think I reach an end it only bends
Again n again
Through perceptional intent or non intentional
Con n unconventional
Whiling n spiralling
Still I’m confiding in
This being that is me
My purpose n responsibility
Simply
Be the best me I can be
Let ma vibration ripple out reflectively
Respectively
Affect n infect all of me
Fuel injecting
Curb n correcting
Pe pe per perfecting the essence of this present
By remaining present
Accepting this gift
Naturally
Spiritually uplift
Every crevice & rift
Shine on boy
This world’s your toy
Bring the happiness n endorse the joy
And though negative people annoy
Smile anyway
It’s their game too let them play
And bend yor perception a different way
I say I say
Have a nice day
