Black

Black Black, Lord I never realized There were so many shades of… Black. Blacker, The ebony darkness…all around me, I’m trying not to drown. Lost… Lonely, drawn ever deeper.

Hope, The blackness…fading to gray Lord I swear it’s getting brighter, better. God… what’s coming over me? Colors, Rainbows of colors, bringing…See More

To Me

 To MeShakespeare once wrote; “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.” And do you know what? I think he got it right. How can I be so constrained…so limited?

Vinegar and Oil

These are song lyrics that I wrote for my creative writing class. The piece is supposed to be sung in a bluesy, soulful way, kind of like something Norah Jones or Ray Charles would sing. Vinegar and Oil No matter what we do No matter how hard we try It always stays the same girl                                            Baby you know it’s true We’re just like vinegar and oil We don’t go together very well Unless we’re shaken up or stirred                                                   We…See More

A Cold November Day

A Cold November DayA lost and lonely woman  shivered and closed her eyes, As memories of much loved yesterdays ran through her tortured mind. Though it seemed like only yesterday, It had been a year since God had called her man away. Leaving her standing there lost and lonely... On a cold November…See More
