There are days that I feel content and there are days where I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Sometimes I wonder what will it take for people to start listening.
If I was a weak soul, I'd be dead by now cause that's how I feel inside.
An empty void and answers that will never be answered.
Is it right for a person not to have the right to know their father? I know its a long time ago but its still relevant to my existence.
I been through hell and back and there are days I feel like death is looming around the corner.
How will I be remembered? Does it end with me trying to talk to people who wont listen? Or does something good come out of all this? I say that because you have no idea what I feel inside on a day to day basis. To hear my pain, play my video on my page and when you want to go deeper into it, order the book so you can feel my pain. Without you I'm nothing and these kids won't get a chance to save themselves.

The Art of Lovemaking

I'd like to have a portrait of the lovemaking we just made.
It would be a wonderful memory that I don't want to fade.

The fine lines of hue that we left on the bed
the horizontal strokes played over in my head

We were lost in the exotic saturation
this love sick yearning for this intoxication

The rhythm of your movement seduces the texture in which you make me dance
The juices in my impasto induce a medium to be enhanced.

The oil painted by you, on my being
With neutral compliments, making me feign
The whispers in my ear shapes the cool colors I've seen.

You have enticed me with this composition
We've never done it like this before, with no restrictions

You feel me up with content, the form you created with the hatching sketch
The sexual chemistry, the art of our lovemaking meshed.

Cafe Latte

The image...coffee, milk, with raw sugar
sauntered in, brazen attitude.
This confident glow pulsating like
a heartbeat, but the glow gave way,
collapsed under pressure to reveal
a place of a multitude of characters, silhouettes of innocence, fear, impatience but love too
hidden, sweetness in the cut
Still able to inflict pain.

Love and Rapture

In love or is it rapture
I try to find your essence
and then capture
your soul
and mind
and body
and spirit
I desire to be
a conduit
I will receive
and you will
give
I will display
whatever lives
inside of the
person of
Wizthom
and what
shall be free
no other has
this type a hold
on me
keep your grasp
firmly planted
love and rapture
my all you have
been granted.
