Defining the undefined one post at a time.
Slowly
Softly
In one breath
Slipping into silence
The end
The beginning
of a new
wondrous journey
He rises up
leaving behind what is corporeal
Joins the Light
Becomes one
with the Light
and soars straight
to the heavens
Take comfort and look up
See him there
shooting amongst the stars
And remember
Love
His love
is with you
Always

My heart
My love
My friend
Always
You and I have walked
many
long and rock filled roads
filled
with unforeseen trenches
one after
another
our bond
greatly tested
and
stretched
did
not break
I will love you
Always
Forever…

In life all that we have is moments. Cherish them, but not so much that you miss the present.
I skeptically watched the premiere of “Black-ish” last night. I was initially and still perplexed by the name of the show however setting aside my preconceived notion I actually enjoyed the show.
The character “Andre” played by Anthony Anderson was hilarious. My favorite part of the first episode was when Andre got a promotion to Senior Vice President of Urban Development and showed up to the board meeting in a grey sweatshirt and presented several inappropriate clips of black stereotypes out of spite.
I’m looking forward to the next episode…
I’m looking forward to the second episode.
I am waiting patiently – Are you?
Standing on the outside
looking in
hands holding strings
making moves
watching
but
not participating
day in
day out
nights blending
into
each other
on and on
it goes
on and on
this life
flows
never ending
never ceasing
movements weakening
one by one
they disappeared
now alone
standing on the outside
looking in
fading
away

I search
to find memories
of love
between my mother
and I
and
not let
the harangued remembrances
corrupt
It is very
hard
The bad ones
interfere
too much
I long
I need
to remember her
with love
I know
there were
some
good times
They are
like precious pearls
Lucent
suffused memories
I do love her
but
I am
still
choked
in pain
Frozen inside
an important
part
of me
The need
to protect
myself
is so
strong
yet
the binds that
choke me
are
becoming
tighter
Squeezing me
Squeezing the breath
out of me
Squeezing the heart
out of me
Squeezing my soul out
My pain is too much
The binds must be shorn
before
I break
Must find a way
to sever them
The key
is my memories
Memories
of her
My mother
Remembering
the good
Remembering
no matter what
she
did love me
Life
is not perfect
Healing
is in
forgiving
Can I forgive?
Is it
in me to?
I think so
It resides
in the memories
The memories of love

Love is blind. No Color. No Race. No Religion.
It seems as all my hours are spent, just trying to pay my rent.
Working at a pennies wage, can put your mind in rage.
When all your cash is hashed, for a roof that’s dent and smashed.
You at some point have to ask, is it even worth it?.
You know me
We met a million lifetimes ago
Don’t I seem a little familiar
I was your handmade Pinocchio
The world was spinning out of control
I had to come and find you
Thank God we got back in time
Looked like the end was long overdue
When I look into yours eyes
I see myself beside the fire
And if I fall into the clouds
You pull me out with your desire
You know me
We met a billion lifetimes ago
Don’t I seem a little too familiar
I was your handmade Pinocchio
When I look into yours eyes
I see myself beside the fire
And if I fall into the clouds
You pull me out with your desire
You know me.
