Ice Cold Winter Snow
One January day
getting ready for work and play
my bones ache
from winter prey
Not knowing what to wear
I dress for the affair
putting my long johns on for spare
Brushing my teeth
not knowing what to eat
I grab a cup of Hot Chocolate
to keep heat
While walking the block
I found out I had on no socks
my legs buckle
I dropp from frostbites
that cripple my toe knuckles
I flop
laying down
face down
I was crown by ice

I Do As One
Husband and Wife
that sound nice
If you are
treating each other
right
Walking together
holding hands
for all their fans
having a kiss
that won't be
miss
Driving along to find
a place to share
one's bliss
Doing the things
that lovers do
I thought you know
Not letting anything
come between
their united do

Running Water
Playing around like a clown
I didn't see a puddle of water
on the ground
Falling from the dip
I lost my grip
to face down
water dripping
from my head to my draws
It was like
going down Niagra falls
having a view
of all bodys of water
from the creek, lake, river
ocean and sea
I thought I was watching TV
falling from a tree
to what sudden deepth
wait upon me
A great whale waitting
to eat me

Slave Day
One lonely feburary
was a day to memory
It was like thinking about labor day in September
a day to remember
Only it was Black History month
So I bring this thought to mind
black brother's incarcerated
doing time for not a dime
Inmates painting doors, walls and bars
for a cause to be out in the jail victorous hall
Receiving T-shirts, underwear and socks for pay
what a rift
slaving them brother's each and everyday
putting Amendment Xlll in full effect
lining their pockets for a fat check
just to buy you a luxury toy
you better kill that noise
before you reap what you sow
end up like them boys
My tray has arrive to my mighty surprise

At The Hands Of Time
Why don't we pray
for better days
when conscious can
convince us to stay
Love comes once
in a lifetime
Why take it away
at a dropp of a dime
Lets drink wine
for loving times
We break up
to make up
to know were
we stand and stay
it be our
finest time
to talk out
our differences
that is in dismay
we most sacrifice

To Amend Hearts
It's that time of the year
for lovers
were hearts can be amend or broken
couples sit back, relax, have a romantic moment
talk, laugh, celebrate and drink the finest wine
to settle their difference in time
Hug, kiss and make love
for one bliss
with a twist
to out do
one another
like an iron hand fist
Thinking back
to when we first met
(I want(need) that old thang back)
you was a ribbon in the sky
for our love
people thinking it wouldn't last
this long
they bet
