What is the look of change?
Young idealists out to cure society’s mange?
A black man serving at America’s helm?
Taking us to possibilities outside our world realm
Poetry
No positive silence
PoetryDear graffiti woman,
You… give.. me… LIFE…!
Surface ebony tinted like mine
Down to earth tones line your outside
Together on these street we are minorities
Bliss
PoetryBliss
Not knowing
All life’s truth
Just what you need
Innocence
Slow Jams in Costa Rican Office
PoetryI walked in the room to a sound
Quite diff’rent from ones norm’ly found
Keith Sweat was who played
“Nobody,” lyrics sang
I laughed because here it’s profound!
Eternally bonded
Poetry “Bubbie!” I hear a voice say
The tone is one of a delight
Its using a nickname that lacks rationale
But it wanted it, and made it stick
Ode to Michelle Obama: A salute to American’s First Lady
Black History, PoetryA beautiful image, strong and proud
Aside the commander in chief you stand
Without words you speak for black women loud
Showing our worth and purpose in this land
Goes beyond mans objectifications
Portraying us as intellectuals
Independent, faithful and nurturing
Unafraid of the ramifications
Influential, not ineffectual
I’m left gawking here in admiration
Mas Pura Vida
Poetry2012 Olympic Ballad
PoetryI read an article about how poetry used to be a part of the Olympic games. Intrigued I chose to write my own Olympic ballad to celebrate the sports and athletes as the closing ceremonies come to us today.

Innocence
Virgin, Unblemished
Purifying, Non-chastising, Honoring
Blissfully Ignorant to Life’s Poison
Children
Love
PoetryA ring adorning my finger,
A necklace dangling from my neck
On my being everyday
A physical presence,
But a soul manifestation
With this vest I dress
Strutting out to the world scene
Remembering this theme
Singing this tune
And exuding this perfume
Love
