ROCK STAR TO BLACK HOLE (Nov. 1989)

None were alike Strangers some; still I appeared Translucent to all.
Their perception was not only similar it was the same.
None seemed puzzeled "You're in love with him",
Leapt to their lips moments into my diatribe.
I arose and retreated each day to a dwelling where mildew and moss
Were busily breeding on the vacancy signs that hung above the doors
Of reason and understanding. "Doomed" might as well have been engraved
Across my countenance In bold emphatic type.
These soothsayers, diagnosticians each, chose the word Love
Rather than doom. Love Doom they are synonomous to me.
ARTHUR ARTHUR ARTHUR I was a placard of devotion.
Still loathe to call it love was I. Everyone I encountered was assaulted
By the cresendo of that drone tone. ARTHUR ARTHUR ARTHUR
It began to taste like poison in everyone's mouth but mine. I continued to eat
And drink freely of it. ARTHURARTHURarthurart...Innocents were infected
ARTHUR-ITIS. Lord have mercy. In time all grew weary. My affliction was
By now epidemic. I was told the only ointment that heals is time.
No Doctor...No Priest No cult crashing, kidnaping, deprogrammer
Could assure that even time, held properties
Sufficient to heal this arthuritis of mine. My condition was graven,
When reminded that many Arthur-itic predecessors had perished.
Well...recovery seemed bleek and blind until, some survivor
Told me,"Time wounds all heals" the thought unleashed
A reservoir of demon fighting anti-bodies Within.
My imagination dashed unbound envisioning the delicious evolution
Of a destiny so just. Star becomes Quasar, becomes Pulsar ,becomes White Dwarf,
Becomes Black Hole. Destiny is devine. Rock 'em Sock "em the game he played.
They called it Love, I couldn't call it. When it comes to Love,
Fractures life or death "what's Love got to do with it?"

MISCHIEVIOUS BROWN EYES june 8,2002

June 8, 2002
Oh Dear God
How Can I One More Moment Endure?
"REJOICE"
You Say Rejoice?
I Can No More Rejoice than hear the pounding
ONE TWO THREE.....The Thrice Your Blessed Trinity.
You say "LOVE YOUR ENEMY"
Love My Beloved.
They call him a sociopath
a psychopath, a reprobate, beyond salvation..........
I remember only the mirrored beauty
of my own self, in his dark brown eyes.
Be it the devil's guise, an attempt to disarm me.
to rob me of earthly possession,,,,,to batter and bruise....
which caused my son to hate, & moved his young heart
toward thoughts of murder.....to protect the love of silly mother.
who could be lost in mischievious brown eyes.
whose only intention was to deceive....And she so long lost...
in the belief that these too could be saved.BLESSED MOTHER OF GOD,,,
PLEASE enlighten me,because I am Lost..in helpless deceit of hopeless Dark Brown Eyes..
I WISH PRESERVED
FOR ETERNAL BLISS.

RETURN TRIP January 7,1997

There' a taste of you
In every breath
I take
Your memory
In each glance
Never far gone
You in absence
Reality remade
As though you
Are a part of everything
In nature, industry,in life
You have pollinated everything
Imbued with meaning.
There is no putting you away Nor forgetting how impenetrable
You have become
Self made. The mountains stand
Lands swell--flooded--and still
You are the same
A part of everything
From yesterday until forever
You
Just one black man
Alone in a cell
