it is in my blood/and the waters swam to save if found in my soul/it can’t be touched by grave through tempts of the tempests/sultry songs played on…Reflection – Devereaux Frazier

Mother Calls
Mother calls, but I Am already gone, like the wind Through the trees, or the words Of the freed, slave to the past I was, searched, gaped, swallow Always last, because I fought first They made a mess of my face Stripped my hands and tore my heart I was one, now I am twenty … Continue reading Mother Calls

Metamorphosis
Memory plucked From earliest stage Cocoon hijacked Inserted with rage Magnified Raging reckless Moth is social outcast Waiting till the streets are empty But the sky is full Because stars are my only friends Butterflies are bullies Magnificent wings should be plucked Glory meant to mine I was abused by the daylight Emptied of purity … Continue reading Metamorphosis

Telescopes To The World Below
is it me/languishing attention eyelids fall/only ten percent do I see my reality is shrouded/yet I am loved I stumble through land mines/trivial but explosive/the rockets red glare a diversion, a delayed response/they want when I consume flesh/soul cries help me rediscover/the lands before time navigate roads steep/pavement stolen telescopes to the word below/find me … Continue reading Telescopes To The World Below

Not Worthy of You
leave me/I am unworthy of your searching unrecognizable to love/immortal wounds meet mortal man/am I too wrong to be right what is my life/what are these, flickering lights never looking far enough to see me/I see and I hide/there is no room left for me to be one with you/is to be undone

Lists
the grass isn’t any greener/it’s hardly grown brown weeds sink deep/the ground upon which I stand is crumbs/a little bird pecks in search of life/but all she finds is death rising on the wings of eagles/she wishes to soar from the sin we created/but there is nothing but blood in our land/in our world children … Continue reading Lists

Drunk Sorrow
I felt an answer/derived from loneliness I’m face to face with thought, memory/cards stacked against me/words that fall/people that fail/what am I today/tomorrow reaching new heights/I fall and contemplate the rock which budged under my weight/lose it/risk being forgotten maybe I’m not a word man/some emotion just takes me on a new path/grudges lost steps … Continue reading Drunk Sorrow

What I Lost
where have I been/where have I lost in everything/and in nothing/I’ve lost the sense and sight/the world has no light sickly humans sell human slaves/and I lost all respect for every person/who claims to love but watches movies/eats fast food/you lost my respect/disgusting beasts are man woman and child as well/disease corrupts but you suck … Continue reading What I Lost
