When I Die
I want the clouds to cry for days on end
Where visions of Noah come to mind
And Paul laments my sufferings on Earth
I want Solomon to await conversations on it all
Pausing as Ables blood whispers in my ear
As the watchers guide me towards Cain
So that he can explain death in all its gore
Maybe Adam will change up his animal garments
The ones Eve sewed for him so lovingly
I want to bring forth tablets to inscribe
Along with Moses
Gaze at the golden calf being worshipped
While Jesus ascends
And Lucifer tugs at his robe
I’ll take pictures alongside them all
And pray they make it on social media
As proof that Muhammad is indeed familia
As they meditate with Siddhartha
And dance with Shango
Pay tolls to Eleggua
For safe passage
Where I cast Opuele with Orunmilla
Yes let the heavens cry to disguise the elation
Of true elevation
When I die

Poems of Renewal
God
I stood filthy yet clean
Thinking water could erase
Rags shining like suits
Oh how I skillfully clothed my sin
Disgust painted over with a smile
I played the game in haste
Pride burying self
Leaving remnants of what has been
I now seek that which is true
With vigor and zeal
Guilty as I am before you
On my knees I do plead
As I give up this world
And all its appeal
I surrender all to you
Trusting forevermore in your lead

New Year
Another year has come and gone, they seem to fly by the older you become. It’s definitely time to look in the mirror and reflect on what has been and what’s to come. Have you grown spiritually? Emotionally? Growth can never be measured on the size of your bank account or worldly possessions. I urge you to make things right with the man above, remember tomorrow is never promised. 2016 here we come by the grace of God!

Empty
I sit here
Reveling in the aftermath
Of what I am capable of
Transcending love
Into purest of hate
I realize
You are correct
I am to blame
Curse me with fervor
Wish for my destruction
And downfall
I am ready
For it all
Arms wide
I embrace the fault
That is I
Repulsive
To myself
I do not deserve
Love
Nor hate
It is much too good for me
Squirm away
Like the witnessing
Of rodents passing
I only wish
To leave this realm
I surrender
I wave the flag
I don’t want to cry anymore
I don’t want to know
The pain of loves betrayal
I don’t seek to venture
Down disappointment lane
Those tears you cry
Aren’t worth my lament
Let me shrivel away
Til dust is no more
And even the Almighty
Can not breathe life into
The sands that filled me
Empty I came
And want to return
