Night & Darkness
While the night beckons me to her breast,
I push myself into it and suck thick darkness into me.

Enlightenment Part I: The Question
On top of the green, infinite mountains
stands a man no older than eternity,
talking to nature as the soft whispers
of the wind echo in his ears:
telling him of a time before man,
when nature ruled in harmony around the globe.

A life without colour
My vision is only of gray.
“The world is a rainbow;” I know this for sure.
I’ve heard of the magnificent shades of human emotion.
I’ve seen them for myself, but I do not see in colour anymore.
I live within a personal orbit of dullness and nothing...
What does being black mean to me?
Being black means being part of a stronger community that is outside of myself
Being black means power on all fronts
Being black means watching your surroundings closely especially in public
Being Black means my dark skin is beautiful
