Excerpt
Untitled
An acid raindrop stains her caramel complexion
lips glistening red
Sweeter than a candy apple confection
she walks with agility and surety
In her breast lies honesty and purity
untainted by this masquerade
She is the leader of this life's parade
today she dreams of yesterday
And hope for tomorrow
knowing that life can bring sorrow
She embraces today with her sensuality
arousing all the possibilities
I lust for her caress
full of peace and tranquility
Seduce me with your intellect
cause I need more than just sex
Let me feel what you feel
When you feelin what you feel
just what is it about you sista?
Lord knows I wanna get wit cha
from when I was first blessed by your unexplained
Having you in my thoughts
just could not refrain
Your presence brings a smile to my face
but I try to stay cool
Cause this ain't the time or the place
damn she got me shook
Trying to find her number
searching the phone book
Maybe under a rainbow is where I'll find you
I'm certain I won't need to remind you
of who I am
Where we met
with the spell you put on me
How could you forget?
let me bring you into the present
Tell you my love is of the essence
the type that cannot be surpassed
Like sands flowing through the hourglass
for you this thing is essential
So I offer it
in its fullest potential
Hope all is well with you and I would like to know if you might interested in featuring as a poet or participating in the open mic event as a poet during a Poetry Extravaganza at the Market 5 Gallery located in SE DC on October 30,2002.This would be a great opportunity for folks to know about you and to sell your book.

A dynamic use of words. Seductive, yet spiritual....... eagerly awaiting his next work
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
