This goes to all my fans, supporters, and followers of my blog: below is a poem I wrote to express my gratitude to you for always logging on to check out my posts. Thank You!
What more can I say,
How else can I thank you,
For being there for me everyday,
And for helping me go through,
There are so many things I want to say,
And so many I want to write too,
But I just want to take the time today,
To say thank you!
You are the reason I wake up each day to write,
Even when I don't feel like it,
On this journey of writing and composition, you all have been my light,
You are the ones that keep the fires of my creative side constantly lit,
You make my face bright,
Every time you view a blog and comment on it,
You all are the ones who make me strive to keep my posts tight,
And I just want to take the time to say thank you!
Thank you,
For every page you viewed,
Thank you,
for every poem you read,
Thank you,
for every novel you read,
Thank you,
for every comment you left,
Thank you for evey sign up you did,
The best is yet to come,
I still have more interesting and inspiring posts for you,
But for now, I say thank you!

VOICE OF A POET III-THE CONCLUSION
It's the voice of a colonized nation,
That spoke its way out of the shackles of bondage,
It's the voice of the abused child,
That deserves to be heard, and desires to be delivered,
The voice of the young rapper,
Making a statement,
And the voice of the soulful musician,
Sending a message,
Oh, it's the voice of the embattled teenager,
Longing hope and guidance,
And the voice of young America,
Searching for answers and a better future,
Oh, it's the voice we cannot ignore,
A voice that lives forever,
A voice that can never be stifled...
I call it the Voice of a Poet

THERE'S A PLACE... (A better place for you, no Matter What you've been Through!)
Beyond your brokenness,
Ahead of your loneliness,
And far beyond your faint-heartedness,
Lies a place for you;
In the arms of comfort,
Within the hugs of support,
And away from the clasps of hurt;
If you would put the past behind,
Erase the pain from off your mind,
And take my hands,
Baby, I understand that your spirit's been slain,
By the one you love,
And your soul's now in pain,
By the one you thought was from above,
And the purity of your trust's been blemished by love-stains,
So your heart feels like it's got a blain,
But within your future,
I can still see a bright picture,
And in spite of what you've been through,
There lies a place for you;
In the cuddle of affection,
Within the snuggle of compassion,
And away from the enclave of affliction,
If you would let go of your painful plights,
Blot out the memories of your sorrowful nights,
And take my hands...

VOICE OF A POET II- THE POEM THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE BLOG
From the hearts of the weak,
It resounds,
From the being of the abandoned and less-privileged,
It shouts, calling for love,
From within the soul of the brutalized,
It arises, pleading for justice,
Deep within the existence of the enslaved,
It resonates, begging for freedom,
And from the bowels of the impoverished,
It swells, seeking a better place,
A voice that lives forever,
A voice that can never be stifled...

VOICE OF A POET-SEE THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BLOG
From the genesis of humanity,
It has existed,
From the times of ancient history,
It has lived,
Even in our present age,
It still thrives,
Taking us back and forth the hands of time,
As it constantly gives us a reason,
To reflect on the revolution of our universe,
And the very essence of life itself,
A voice it is present in everyone's heart;
A voice that lives forever;
A voice that can be heard in silence;
A voice that can never be stifled...

BLOOD IN MY TEARS; TEARS IN MY HEART
I thought love was sweet;
But until you left me,
I never realized it was also sour;
I thought beauty was a loner;
But until you left me,
I never realized it was also beastly!
I thought fidelity had integrity,
But until you betrayed me,
I never thought it also compromised,
You were my first and only love,
I gave you my heart,
But you kissed it and then crushed it,
Against the walls of heartlessness,
And into the oceans of treason, you threw it,
And departed with another!
Every time I wonder why,
So all I do is cry,
And with every tear I shed, my soul bleeds,
Baby, I've got blood in my tears; and tears in my heart,
And it's all because of you!
