“COME FIND ME” (Collabo With Michelle A Lee)
I’m standing out in the open
Arms outstretched in the rain
Pleading with the heavens
“Send that man to find me!”
I’m so tired of being alone.
I want someone who’ll treat me
Just lik ...

“SHINE BRIGHT”
You gotta shine bright
You gotta see you are a light
A shining star sent to guide others
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters and Brothers

“POEMS IN THE ATTIC”
Blow off the dusty atlas
That is my construct
Well travelled and traversed by letters
Peek through the curtains of my words
Delve deep into my historical abyss
Watch by the sidelines
As I pop a literary pill to rel ...

He’s blessed us all with som ...

I remember how they looked
As they sat on the bridge of your nose
How you used to peer over the tops
How when you grinne ...

This machination’s continuous heartbeat
The up, down and around
Cogs, gears and wheels turning endlessly – the hardware
Electronic hums and lights flash silently in chips and panels
But that’s just the software

Of spinach greens, with meat bits, onions and peppers

Multi-coloured delicate rubber

Waiting for a hand to grab hold of
We run and chase after ...
