With the closing of the door, the co-mingling aromas of relaxed atmosphere and poetic recitation are resealed. “No smoking” signs and exotic juices occupy glasses of geometric delight. The angles of the room collect the soft aromas of votive candles as they climb toward the ceiling; a collection of requests for the presence of the […]

Voodoo
Crane your neck outward. Turn your face skyward. Lift your head above the trees. Breath in that purple sky And the cool nighttime breeze. Let your eyes shine the light across the tree tops. It’s coming. It’s coming… From the moment the first beat drops. The Muse grabs me, Holds me, Restraining my […]
I Still Love H.E.R
Shorty’s the illest on the block, metaphorical pipe game, taught me life game, mind locked, attracted to the words coming out of the speakers, the notes and bars flocked, sparked the flame.

Men in tuxes draped by silk scarfs criss-crossed the room […]
Coltrane
The cool air of the summer night made its way through the open window, twisting the strings on the blinds, as it passed by. The noted patterns of the city lights metered out a certain rhythm, a certain melancholy, welling up from its location planted somewhere deep within its roots. He turned to notice the […]
Love Song
“So sweet, my goodness, Love so sexy, won’t you come and talk to me.” Walls bind the listener in darkness with only the music as company. Forest-green blotted with autumn shadows mirror focused meditation. The echo of a solitary finger snapping ushers in a profusion of melodies. Harp strings made of woven honey initiate the […]
