Distance from America
Africa so far away, where the Nile River parts its roots
A savanna oasis of desert plumes
America fills its belly with drums
To unmask the dark flames of night

Black Fate
I often reflect on history
I am reminded of where I stand
I am told I am not equal
That my skin is inferior
God gave me strength, yet,
I am incapable of sustaining life riches
History determines our fate

Road Not Taken
Trees coveted the dirt rock road
With the scent of pine
The long ridden trail to a familiar road
Snow covered trough, hinted winter has arrived
The coyote has gone to rest in his cave
Wild hunting season is bountiful
Altered smoke fills the sky from farmhouse chimneys
A bear has gone for vegetation surrounding the frozen lake
Long i await ‘til day is once dawn
I sleep for now
I dream

A Defered Dream
• is hope an infringement of life
where as an inspired metaphor
depleted a reason to grow
Is hope so defile in life
that a dream is deferred
upon the wish to succeed
is only a dream
Is hope so denied
that every time you try
you trying, trying again
to start all over again?
Is hope so bitter
that your dreams are over looked
because no one understood you?
Is hope a simile to believe
in all hope, life and maturity
to succeed
is hope the dream you believed
that dream and it became true

Red Nature
Red tepid water
drains through building
blocks of slothful thought.
Thrust winds, rain, sleet build
red energy from lightning in
the sky moldering in deception.
A scented red rose with
long thickly sharp prongs
speak of gayety pride.
A red liquid imprint from
an old newspaper personal
dreary same sex ad.
A tornado battled winds blew
down the red old country barn
in depravity of old tired accusations.
Awakening death dreary dark
black clouds with tiers of
red voices speak of
despair, agony and fear.
Red sun rays piercing

Love Without End
Love without End
Love will never end
I would make your dreams become true
only if you would want me to
If your dream were to travel
I would sail around the world
to the depth of the ocean
we would enjoy the ride
If your dream were to fight for life
I would challenge death
to console your soul with prayer
to do what is right
If your dream were to be rich
I would empower your self-esteem
and be an anchor to your dream
If your dream were to be a soldier
I would be your Sargent at arms
protecting you from your enemy
guiding you from harm
If you dream were to find fame
