      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Turning Black Queer Rage Into Black Queer Joy

      Oct 1, 2021

      I have never been comfortable setting a place at the table for my anger. I always invited passion and excitement in and tolerated anxiety at the time, believing it was a by-product of my two favourite guests. But where was contentment, calm and joy?

      Editorial

      Commentary on the human condition,

      Scraping an opinion from an intelligent,

      And seeking mind.

      Speaking thoughts

      Not so popular,

      Not so kind.

      Speaking against

      Issues both small

      And grand.

      Shining a light on that

      Which society seeks to hide.

      Exposing those who behind whispers

      Do seek to hide.

      Unafraid to speak,

      Opinion my own form

      Of unwavering truth.

      Homeless

      There’s room at the inn,

      But I have no money to pay.

      The world is cold tonight,

      And I have no place to stay.

      No I am not lazy,

      Nor too awful crazy.

      Things just really have not

      Been going my way.

      My stomach is a growling,

      My head has been a spinning,

      Yet not a bite can I find

      For me to eat.

      No jobs available for me to find,

      Want a hand up?

      must be outta my mind.

      There’s room at the inn,

      But I’ve no money to pay.

      Humor

      My humor is perverse,

      Yet it keeps me sane.

      I mean no harm,

      In the things I say.

      Mostly I hide behind

      Sarcasm, humor and wit.

      So no one will notice

      That I am broken a bit..

      The tears i hide,

      Behind jokes off color.

      To disguise a pain

      I cannot share with another.

      I survived you see,

      Yet what’s left of me

      Pushes away all hands,

      No matter how kind.

      Tis easier far,

      Enjoying the preview?
