help Lizzy . . . please . . .

Help Lizzy,

i wrote this poem while standing on the Street Corner about 4 Am in the City of Philadelphia. The inspiration came by way of observing a couple of young teenage girls walking the street. I asked my self why were they there. As the City began to awaken so did my realization that they were someplace they were not naturally supposed to be. They should have been home. As i began to reflect i thought about my own Teenage Daughters Myiya, Monii and Marian. This experience was…

here !

and “i” am sweet

taste the offering of love . . .

but i as you . . .

have been spawned by the Tree of Life

we . . .

We

we search for what we already hold

we must journey within our loving fold

we think about the thoughts of old

yet we tell of things that we’ve been told

truth eludes those who run from light

we close our eyes and embrace blind sight

we yearn for peace but yet we fight

freedom is not in what’s cinched tight

we seek the joys in deluded mind

the paths to Dreams we’ve… Continue

it . . .

it . . .

she was in pain

and i could see it

i held her hand

so i could be it

and now i knew

i had to free it

for her pain was my pain too

a kind word spoken

that she could hear it

for pain is such

that one would fear it

in silent screams

we all bear it

what are we to do

so within i pondered

all about it

it is quite real

i… Continue

you honored not agreement

made with sacred trust

layed waste to your integrity

and now it gathers rust

just who the hell are you any way

do you even know

you swim against life’s currents

trying to change the flow

on the… Continue

the Garden of Even . . .

the Garden of Even

there once was a Village

that had a Garden

where nothing but Love ever grew

the Fruits were Divine

what was mine was thine

this was what everyone knew

and then came a thought

which some sadly bought

that i was different from you

and to all of dismay

came forth the day

when this paradigm then became true

the children were confused

and some were used

to further the separation… Continue
