Blurred

    Between the lines and shaking in an electric migraine.   You are… blurred to me silver screen, mmmmmmm, take care.   There is no breath now, not even the kind I breathe. Just alcohol, and a Spanish dialect.   How advanced must you be to understand me?   Get between my lines, read me, deflate me. Rearrange me. And change my mind you. Create.

Love

  Your breath sprays a mist of hot air on my neck
Which tingles my skin cells and makes them crave for more precipitation from you…
(Predictable)
I wake up to your rhythmic nostril melodies and fall in sink with your unique pattern of high notes and low notes as you compose your morning snooze
music
(Irritable)
Your eyes
Beautiful.
Mesmerizing brown mirrors that reflect every glimpse seen with golden  innocence
White hardened dust outlines your deep  chocolate skin

torn rivers

waking alive in pre morning light

birds singing exotic trills

my mind thrashing with raw emotion

and burned memories

 

charred and sooty

they cling to my throat like choked tears

 

love fills my eyes

and spills from my hurting chest

 

i cling to my emptiness

and walk the hall of ghosts

hearing their voices soft and soothing

 

seeing them warm and hollow once

more

their touch

their laughter

 

i shiver

and turn over

Katydid

  Indeed she did on my little cracked windshield she pleased me. Katydid, green and winged she surprised me, Katyshe, little wing and green. Mission? Miss me? Indeed she confused me she, Katydid.

Scent

  The sky is sun baked and hued golden, streamers dart from behind cotton clouds. And now on the ground are two strong magnets *pulse* an attraction to metal but push away when they get too close. And again there is red flame there what does it mean? It’s a secret, a secret scent, voodoo, and cinnamon. You indeed are cardamom, my favorite flavor stirred into my tea, bittersweet. What shall it be? It shall be, please. At night I have a lack of dreams, only sights and smells. Everything else eludes me; escapes to another place. Honeysuckle, baby powder, no. East. Great myst

officially insane for the touch

protruding through the bushes, the eyes of the beast embrace me.
come on, love and honor this creativity..
lonely and bruised.
silent and used.
bereaved and overwhelmed with loathed desires.
breathing and taunting all these unstoppable,  dreamless fires.
icy moutains of monotonous hopes.
creaming cause between my legs , so now u will invoke
dont push, behold this release is what you need
fruitful desire. please wollow indeed
forever in my chamber with every segment dispersed to you.
lovely hope and murderously real

Tears

Tears

By Alexander Duque

 

Why my tears fall I can never explain.

Might because I’m in such pain.

Tear drops as it falls to my cheek,

Some are bitter and some are sweet.

As I cry in tears I feel so sick.

As lay at night I couldn’t sleep,

Thinking of something deep.

It makes my body so weak,

So I write and fight instead.

A tear flows when I’m in sorrow,

Seems like Ill never see the sun tomorrow.

Emotion I have just couldn’t hide,

Release what I feel inside.

REMEMBER WHEN

Remember, back when black people were friends Because we only had each other then Back when we wore buttterfly collar shirts Platform shoes and mini skirts Back when the press an curl was in And wearing big afros was the trend Back when Malcolm was necessary And necessary was Malcolm you know when everything was on layaway And layaway was on time Back when Motown was the sound and Stevie and Smokey were laying it down Back when we had hool-a-hoops and hopscotch And plenty of doubledutch on the block When black families were united And believed in black power and never tried to hide it Back

THESE SHOES

Most of the time people see you and judge you, without knowing what is on your heart and mind, making comments about the shoes you wear, because they are worn and leaning to the side Laughing saying how they would not be caught wearing raggedy shoes such as these, although for you, it is a blessing, for you to have these shoes on your feet For not everyone can wear these shoes, they are yours and fit you just right, there appearance should be the last thing on your mind, while you have them in your sights Just to walk in some elses shoes, is extraordinary within itself, history comfirms,
