Another Poem From my Book Heart Soul and Rhyme

My Youth

Shattered dreams at seventeen,
A troubled teen,
smoking green,
schemes to make cream,
Only to become a fiend,
Shy around women,
Always one to be swimming,
The weed kept me grinning,
Alchool kept my head spinning,
only to go into institutions.
For corrections,
Rehabilitation,
led me to trying to live in moderation,
but I was left in disarray,
because I wanted it my way,
only to pray.
And eventually live for today,
But I say, "The past is the past."

A Reading of Poetry

I have composed a few of my poems. Here they are for yall to read.


The first poem comes from my first book called A Collection of Thoughts.


The  Title :   A Reflection of She

She was a rare pixie
in the heart of dixie.
She was full of grace,
and had a beautiful ebony face.
She spoke with intelligence,
never irrelevance.
Her soul was full of life.
I knew I wanted to make her my wife,
but things don't always work out in life.
We are not together,
but we are not apart,
because this love was never lost at heart.
I reminisce over the talks and walks
in the spring,
or how her angelic vioce would sing.
to think about her is to glide,
Through life not understanding or knowing,
just flowing
beautiful lyrics of love.
A ballad for you
to say I love you.
I cannot make a comparison,
but it just an attracttion,
not love but lust,
 funny how things bust!
