I Profess...

I sit here

Wondering how your words

That were supposed to be instructional expression

Turned into furiously fueled energy at the expense of me

See

I was always taught to talk my problems out

Take the bull by the horn

And let the negative verbiage dissipate

Your emotional state

Took the content of the matter

To a whole other level

Now

We are just constants

In this cycle of never-ending conflict

Today

I profess to want more 

#NationalPoetryMonth

Poetry

Poetry
Beautiful, expressive words
Flowing gracefully from the mouths of contenders
Spewing romantic novellas
Retaliating from casualties
Words to bruise a battered soul
Fine like wine
No damsel in distress
It's poetry
To all she gives her best

National Poetry Month: April

National Poetry Month

April marks National Poetry Month. As a poet, I felt that I needed to contribute by writing a poem each week. My plan is to write one poem each week and post it on here. Poets, I challenge you to participate in poetry events this month by writing, reading, inspiring, tweeting, and continuing your progression in life with poetry in mind. Let us continue to show he world what poetry is all about.

Here's my first poem:



What’s In Your cup?

I taste smooth

Perfectly combined flavors

That dances with my taste buds

In a calm, yet minty way

The taste brings forth images

Of beautiful green pastures

Of lemongrass lawns

With hammocks dangling from invisible cords

I taste the sunshine

Lemony flavor

Mixed with spearmint

I taste Zen
