    PEACE  (PART ONE)

Share With Me A Love For Life

A Heavenly Spirit Speaks To My Soul

I Listen Deeply To A Kind Voice

Sharing With Me , Her Hope

Surrounded By Butterflies And Flowers

Painted Within My Dreams

I Sense A Magical Power

Residing Within Me

I've Wandered Away From The Path Of Pain

Peace Now Guides My Way

I've Washed Away My Shame

And In My Mind I Find No Disdain

You Can't Reason With Love

Like A Flower , It Always Grows

Is This A Gift From Above

For I Feel A Peace I've Never Known  

Mother Nature Gave Me A Map

And A Key To The Dawn

Helping Me To Heal

From My Life Gone Wrong

Refreshing My Heart

Peace Had Arrived

Nurturing Me Back To Health

Keeping My Spirit Alive

Thank You Lord For Peace

And The Air We Breathe

Thank You For Showing Me

That There Could Be Paradise In This World

And Again Lord , Thank You For Peace

SOME DREAMS DO COME TRUE

I Hear The Sweet Sounds Of Spring

As I Wake The Birds Are Singing Their Tune

I Appreciate This Sunny Morning

Beside My Wife , We Pray

As We Do Every Morning

And It Makes For A Good Day

I Feel The Warmth Of Love

She Chases My Blues Away

And There's Nothing We Can't Rise Above

With Her There's No Cloudy Days

Stay Close To Me , My Love

Let's Find Paradise Together

The Birds Are Singing A Song Of Love

And The Weather Couldn't Be Any Better

On A Walk With No Destination

Just Me And You

Is It My Imagination

Or Do Some Dreams Come True

Butterflies And Flowers

The Grass Tickles Our Feet

The Sun Bathes Our Bodys

And The Shade Of The Trees Cool The Heat

Upon This Walk In Nature

As Beautiful Is She

Are The Natural Surroundings

And The Flowing Light Breeze

We Hold Hands As We Walk Along

We Surrender To Nature

Different Birds , Singing Another Love Song

Written For Us , As Our Love Is Strong

Nature Nurtures Love Amongst Us

As Deep As The Forest Are My Feelings For You

Remember All The Struggles We Made It Through

We Are One , No Longer Two

Our Love Will Be Forever , Love Of My Life

Some Dreams Do Come True !

             PEACE (PART TWO)

I've Now Strayed Far From The Path Of Pain

I've Finally Found Some Peace

In My Mind , I Find No Disdain

Upon My Life , A Brand New Lease

What If Peace Prevailed Instead Of Pain

What If Hatred Had Never Been

Peacekeepers Would No Longer Be Slain

Perhaps If We Learned To Be Loving Human Beings

Let Us Not Hate Somebody For Being Different

Let's Live In Peace And Love One Another

Seek The Light In A Personality

For We Should Act As Sisters And Brothers

I Now Live In The Sunlight

I No Longer Feel The Pain

Peace Is My Aspiration

Flowing Like A River Through My Veins

As I Rise In The Morning I Fall To My Knees

I'm Feeling Strong And Rested

Refreshing My Spirit With A Prayer

To My Creator I Am Vested

Yes , Peace Has Found Me

May Peace Find You Too

Peace In This World

Would Be A Dream Come True.....

                  2020

            SUN SHINE ON

    The Holder Of The Light Unveils

The Shadow Of Darkness Behind Him

        Ashamed Is The Dark

        Jealous Of The Light

Guilty Is The Moon , As It Rose

Is The Holder Of The Light

The Only One Who Knows ?

The Sky Slowly Shares It's Tears

As The Clouds Cry Out In Fear

I Hear The Passionate Cries As

The Rainbow Dies

The Pot Of Gold Will Never Be Found

And As The Story Is Told

You Speak Not A Sound

Now The Sun Sinks Slowly Behind

The Clouds As The Sun Starts Shining

On The Other Side Of Our Planet

Within Heavy Shade , The Night Surrounds Me ,

Darkness Within My Vast Solitude , I Embrace

The Coming Day , Peacefully I Shall Pray.....

Peacefully , I Awake

To The Sunshines Beautiful Light.....

Sun Shine On , Let There Be Light.....

     THE LOVE I LONG TO SHARE

           Was I Playing With Fire

When I Was Seeking To Touch Your Heart

       You Were My Only Desire

 In Your Life I Long To Play A Part

   Your Sad Eyes Looked My Way

   As If You Looked Into My Heart

    I Shall Kiss You One Fine Day

At Least Let Us Try To Make A Start

No Broken Heart , No Broken Promises

I'll Share My Love With Only You

For You Are My Only Obsession

And One Fine Day We'll See It Through

We Are Young And Life Is Long

And My Hand Is Here For You To Hold

Our Love Shall Be Strong

And My Love Is All I Long To Share

                     1987

   

                       ?    

                       

                

                DRINKIN'

I Keep Thinkin' ,  I Keep Drinkin'

I Keep Keepin' On

Writein' My Drunkin' Songs

Of What I Was , N What I Am Today

Still A Child At Play !

Alcoholic , Is That What I Am ?

Alcoholic , I Can Still Stand !

Alcoholic , I Can Never Say No 

Alcoholic , Just One Mo '

              1979

                   ONE SIP

Your One Sip Away From A Disaster

Let Us Help You Out Of The Darkness

Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help

If You Stick With Us You'll End 

Up Being Blessed

All Are Worthy Of Being Sober

It's Only One Step At A Time

It's Something That We Had To  Get Over

Yet It Does Take Some Time

Since I've Joined The Fellowship

I've Been Learning The Language

Of Recovery 

I No Longer Feel Sick When 

I Wake Up

What A Wonderful Discovery

It's Progress , Not Perfection

As I Pray For Intuition

I Seek Spiritual Direction

As I'm Learning To

Control My Obsession

Perhaps , I've Finally

Learned My Lesson.....

           2024

                I BOWED MY HEAD

The Leaves Are Trembling , As Autumn Arrives

The Earth Is Darkened With Endless Night

And On This Hallowed Night

The Wolves Are Barking At The Moon

The Dark Clouds Are Mingling With 

The Shadows In The Mist

As The Wolves Bask In The Moon's Light

Sharing The Lunar Spirits Kiss

Have I Woke The Dead

In The Land Of Eternal Sleep ?

Yet , Not A Word Was Ever Said

Within A Dream

The Memories We Shall Forever Keep

I Recall The Plight At My End

And I Saw Some Sort Of Paradise

And I Remember The Face Of

My Best Friend As He Died

And I Bowed My Head And Cried.....

                May 5 2024

                                   FOREVER MORE

May I Continue To Develop My Constructive Conversations With God

Let Me Learn To Follow The Prompts He Shares With Me

And Accept The Forgiveness You Offer To Us All.....

Repairing My Destruction May Be A Lifetime Endeavor

Someday I'll Find A Way Back Into Your Hearts

I Long To Repair My Broken Trust  , And Share Love Forever

Let Honesty Corrupt Me , Let Love Overflow

Let The Truth Be The Key , And Let Our Love Grow

                            FOREVER MORE

                               May 23 2024 

THE PATH OF MY DESTINY

I Write  Down The Words

Deep Emotions ,  Deep Within My Heart

A Rhyme , A Melody

A Work Of Art

Thoughts Within My Mind

Words I Long To Share

A Journey Through Time

Write With Me If You Dare

Visions Of Memories

Long Lost Dreams

The Path Of My Destiny

I Share With Thee

       1989

                                                                       WRAP

                   Let Me Share A Contradiction Of Words , Or An Oxymoron If You Will

                                                               " Wrap Music"

                 A Race Attempting To Create A New Language Or Perhaps A New Rage

                       Martin Luther King Jr. Is Probably Rolling Over In His Grave

              I'll Bet He's Looking Down Upon These Gangster , Wrapper Musicians , 

                   He Be Shaking His Head Wondering If His Dream Was Dead

How Dare I Look Down Upon These Musicians , But I Come From A Place And Time When You Had To

Compose Your Own Music And Write Your Own Words , And Perhaps Even Sing The Words !

In My Wildest Dreams I Never Knew A Turntable Was A Musical Instrument , It Must Take A Lot Of

Practice To Master One Of Those.....A Quick Question , What Is A Sample ? Is It An Original ?

Or Is It Just A Stolen Piece Of Music, Correct Me If I'm Wrong , But Doesn't It Take Talent And

Instruments To Create A Beautiful Song !

I Still Feel That Wrap Music Was Never Meant To Be , Yet It Oooozed Out On The City Streets

I Thought It Would Be A Passing Phase , Because In The Beginning Y'all Was Shooting One Another

Cuz Y'all Thought You Was Gangsters , But You Was Tryin' To Make The MTV News , Wasn't Y'all ?

All This Violence Made Me So Happy , I Figured They Would Wipe Each Other Out In A Few More Years

Unfortunately They Kept Ooozing Out Of The Ghettos Wit Dey Guns And Lyrics Of Mayhem

That I Still Can't Understand.....

Hey Y'all Check Out Sambo Da Wrapper Wit His Shit Pants Fallin' Down And His Undies Way By His

Belly Button , Now He Grabbin' His Junk , Lookin' At His Cell Phone Cuz He Too High To Remember

Da Words We Can't Understand.....Anyway , Dr. King Would Be So Proud , So Very Proud...

Check Out Dat Gold Grill In Dat Boys Mouth , No Wonder , We Can't Understand The Words He Said !

Tell Me How Many Rappers Be Dead Cus Day Thought Day Was A Gangster !

And Tell Me How Many Wrappers Live To Be 25 Years Old ?  ... How Many Wrappers In Jail Cuz' Dey

Be Uneducated Fools , Do You Think They Broke The Rules , Should Have Stayed In School...

On The South Side Of Chicago It's A War Zone Every Night...Nobody Wants To Leave Day' House Alone

Gang Bangers On Every Street Corner , Yall' Know What I's Sayin , Dey' Fina' Shoot Yo' Ass !

And Dey Ain't Playin Yall' Bitch Ass Hoe !!!

Now Somebody Got

 Shot , But It Wasn't Us ,No One Knows Who Done It , The Piece Is Still Smokin 

Hot , But The Po Po's Ain't Fina' Get No Bust Tonight...Another Violent Day , Another Shooting

Tell Me ,Is Anyone In Charge ? No One Sees Anything , And The Shooter Is Always At Large...

The City The Wrappers And I Share Is Chicago , Also Known As The City Of Big Shoulders As Carl

Sandberg Coined It , A Big Corrupt City Full Of Drug Dealers , Gangs And Murders , Dieciet , 

Mischief And The Wrappers Slang...

Now Here Come Sideshow Bob , He One Of A Kind , He Da Latest Sensation In Hip - Hop Rappers Rhyme , A Clown Of Sorts , He Gots Rainbows In His Hair , His Life Expectancy Is About 24 Years Old So Unfair , So Here He Come , Sideshow Bob The New Wrapper , Riding High In His Pearl Escalade He Got's 3 Fat Ass Bitches , A Big Old Blunt , He Showin' Da World Dat He Not Afraid Of Some Drug Raid Now He Get High , Den He Get Laid , Check Him Out , He Gots Life Made ! 

So What Happened To Juice World ?? Oxy And Codeine , Dangerous Mix For A Young Chicago Boy Flying Home , Flying Home From L.A. , But He Brought Plenty  Of Weed , 3 Guns Too ! A Young Boy Playin' With Big Boys Toys...Then As Always , Such A Young Talent Killing Himself To Live , And I Could Name A Dozen Wrappers Who Led Themself To Ruin...

You Know You Ain't Nobody Til' You Kilt Somebody ! Squeezing The Trigger Is A Form Of Power And The Bullets Are Real , Someday The Shooters Will Feel What The Victims Felt , God Will Sort Them Out You Live By The Sword , You Die By The Sword...Nipsey Hustle , Bank Roll Fresh ,Tupac Shakur Pimp C , All Y'all Heros , They Amount To Zero , Now They Fall Into The Forever Sleep...East Coast , West Coast , All Your Prodigies Turn Into Ghosts... 

They Say The New Wrappers Speak From The Streets , Selling Negative Poems Of How They Live , Yet They Somehow Bring In All This Positive Money , So If Death And Murder Is Your Reality Just Shoot Yourself In The Head , Because Of The Way You Live Your Going To End Up Dead.....

Silence Is Golden.....                                                                                  May 2 2020,,,,,,,,,,
