A Breakup Poem

Inspiration: Thinking about my lost of focus
Word: Courage

In you I hold no interest
your desirable clause
and it's tantalizing phrase
do not confine me,
nor inspire me.
To you I once looked in awe
I admired your mystique
And quivered at your knowledge
but now I find no luster
So today I mustered up
the courage
to tell you
it's over

Indulge in me

Inspiration: The dripping sound of my air conditioner 

Word: oozed 

I oozed 

my lips drizzled 

and my eyes secreted  

as my ears did nothing but listen

closely 

widely 

in wild amazement

Astonished

I heard my heart hiss 

for more of this

for more of your, pleasant words

and apparent touch

I could not hush

the sound of wanting

of loving 

of not having been loved

wanting it to be in my bearing

I grew parched as my lips ran out 

of saliva

cool my touch-

with your immaculate being

Your relevance 

to my situation

is making me grow impatient 

I know your hesitant to have me

but indulge 

woowzers 

Clear Blue

Inspiration: So the blue chakra means self-exsression
Word: Blue

My blue was self-exspression
self evident
I wallowed in it
never hesitant
I exposed all unknown
and drank tea with the finer things
I swallowed down rum and coke
and desired never to be coaxed
enough to drown in it
but only to be found in it
and to be brought out
through
 it

A young girl's confession

Inspiration: Church today.
Word: lovely

To some you were love
to me you were life.
So my tears were deserving.
I had wronged myself in this very idea.
Giving you my all, my everything.
I forgot that I possessed rubies.
That I was more, that I was lovely.
No wonder you wouldn't love me,
or want me. After I had s p r e a d
like an eager bunny
hungrily.
I wanted you, I hated me.
Through you I lost me.
Through you I found me.
Through you I had me,
and gave myself back to my king-
Lord,
and he forgave me.

Dazed and Confused

Inspiration: I'm trying to write more rhythmically

Word: Dazed and Confused

Dazed and confused

I sat husslin' in the moonlight

as the sun creeped in,

and stormed away the new life.

My life picked up, 

and took off with all my old strife.

I couldn't reason with it

He had gone through this for four nights.

For four nights I laid back in bed

and attempted to mange all the thoughts in my head.

I couldn't keep up with the pattern or the rhyme scheme

So I gave it all up

and erased my thoughts with icing. 

Sweet Cup of Bliss

Inspiration: I have no idea
Word: Cradle

What do you make of?
A baby in a cradle
and a never ending dreidel-
life took up a stable
and built a big open nest in it
to live
to create
to sing songs of passion and hate
and forget about the harassin
of the devil's, ears-
among us in our mist,
I hear the devil's hiss,
Eve gave him a nasty kiss,
and now I'm stuck with this,
a baby, a cradle,
a never ending dreidel
appearing as life-
unstable
my hopes cracked on a table
I heed the evergreen
and inhale the quiet scent
It's here, that I squeeze happiness into my lap
and enjoy a sweet cup of bliss.

The runnin man

Inspiration: Watching one of my favorite movies, Forrest Gump
Word: Ran

He ran like the wind blew
and they called him a runnin' fool
See he was goin'
not commin'
walkin'
not stumblin'
He was about
what they talked about
His mission was his vision
His everlastin' decisions
created barriers
for the warriors--
His feet offset wars
he brought about chores
the front men were struck by hor-rorss.
Hurrah Hurray to this runnin' man today
Whose feet sang so loud
they chirruped through yesterday
and created the baby who would teach to the people
and give notes of dos and don'ts
and how to love as regal-
See the runnin' man taught the world
how to do right
by
flight.
