Lyric Poem
These poems are songs without music: intimate, immediate and soul-deep. The lyric form captures a single voice in its most vulnerable state, echoing desire, grief, awe or ache. This is the heartbeat of poetry: personal, pulsing and unafraid.
When emotion becomes melody on the page.
You Blinded Me
from your diseased spirit
Dreamed He Would Keep Me Safe
while held within his firm embrace
Deceived by His Beauty
found myself enslaved by lustful vibes
Ceased to Be Seen
the woke West works to weaken my mind
Dearest Friend
saw beneath my mask to my crushed heart
Inside Your Aroma
bruises too stark to hide from the start
Tears Bled
rested my tired head on stones of hate
Conquered by Your Fierce and Tender Love
warm, fragile tears revealed I am loved
Denied the Queer
gagged and oppressed by the righteous
Big Daddy
each word I uttered, I heard your voice
