Havana nights,On my mind,Like,Never before.But,I'm at a mic,With a line,Multiplied!So,That I can weather any storm.And…Reign over the eye,Keeping watch of my every move,Looking for the right opportunity to strike!Until I'm consumed by its inevitable pour… Blessed am I,To have cleared a sky,Pervaded by,Scrutinizing clouds blocking my view from a horizon,Revealing such tantalizing beauty,Anyone would fall...

Cake Crumbs – Day 66, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Crumbs.At least,Mine are bigger than what birds tend to eat.Being angry is a choice,But,It's a choice I don't have to make while I still have the blessing to breathe.And,It's not all about perspective.It's about,Acknowledging what I have in front of what I invest in,The plate feeding into a character with ego making a mess of,A...

Mirrored Caricatures – Day 62, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
A caricature my beloveds' memory of myself it became.But,Jokes on them since I laugh at myself,Anyway.I tend to believe if you can't giggle at yourself,A part of you is dead inside,In need of revival… Nobody's perfect.As cliché as it is,Nobody's certain!Of themselves completely.We,Stumble at times.We,Crumble and cry.Sometimes,We just need a big ole' humble pie!Our faces...

What Woman Would Kiss A Frog? – Day 52, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
His eyes drown in the smile Her face is drenched by.Swimming from corner to corner,Splashing within each reason He fell in love with what lays inside of Her corneas,Wishing He is who she'd choose to protect her vision of a future filled with undying beauty… A dreamer He is!But,There's is no escape from the frog...

Proverbs 17:17 – Day 49, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity..." Proverbs 17:17 I guess I didn't have any in the first place.After all of my transgressions,I've transitioned into a life of loneliness now that I've healed my past aggression.And,I'm glad I'm alone and peaceful,Instead of sharing my new found energy with those...

Can We Be Together, Again? – Day 42, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Moments like these,When I look back at who I used to be,I get so amazed at my former self and how hard He worked for his dream.How much of a trendsetter He became on a scene,Full of poets,Hearts broken,Trying to figure out how to put the pieces back together and,Sing.In unison no matter what division...

Sporting Good Faith – Day 36, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Limping your way past the wire is vastly superior to,Never making it at all.Whether you're parasitic or a hermit,Recluse,Prying eyes and ears aren't worth bawling over while you crawl,In pain,With so much to lose… Yea,So what if there is no one cheering for you on the sidelines?Life is not a sport!At any second,You might die,And,Get...

The Poison Fountain – Day 33, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Today's piece is more of a statement than prose or a poem. There aren't many rhythms I can think of this very moment. All I can think of is escaping from a family that has lost its mind in ways I never thought would happen growing up as a lonely kid in the South Bronx.... Continue Reading →
This Loneliness Is Too Much – Day 30, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Some nights I,Just don't know what to write down.All I can think about,Is how perplexed I am while sitting on a chair,At a job,Wondering why I've been avoiding every crowd,I can be in front of… Yet,I'm a bit aware of the answer.Because,I'm embarrassed from the mounds of ruin,I've brought upon a life over vices so...

A Three-Piece I’m Not Hungry For – Day 28, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz
Ties,Ties,Ties!They just don't suit me right.Feels more like,A noose choking to death,The kind of tranquil man I yearn to become in a world ran by financial success and duress,And…A suit is not part of who I am,Nor ever will it be for as long as I hold a journal and a pen… It's the only...
