My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would love to have met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X. Langston Hughes and so many other great African Americans. To sit down and reflect on the past verses today...

As I lie amongst my poetry

I made a bed upon my poetry
Words that capture the essence of me
As I found solace within nouns and verbs
Capturing the free-flow of life through pronouns and adverbs

I lie amongst syllables
Resting upon soliloquies
Peacefulness amongst words
As I lie amongst my poetry

The things I see and feel
The motion of my mind reveals
Comforted by life’s sounds and imagery
As my thoughts and emotions turn into to poetry

I lie amongst verses
Of Maya and Nikki
From “I rise” to “The River Niger”
Verses from Langston and Countee

I find a moment of solace
Something tranquil and like a smooth jazz melody
I become one with my thoughts
As I lie amongst my poetry

Verses that flow
Like a smooth poetic up-tempo
Interlocking each syllable
As life within my mind constantly grows

As I lie amongst my poetry…
