“Gingerbread” This ginger will leave an aftertaste that could sweeten the clouds Sugar and honey elements keep the diabetic in me longing for yet another piece Molasses like movements because you never rush a masterpiece Delectable you with a touch of butter Just enough to brown the inside out Infatuation via Caramelization Superbly baked cake Moist with a covering of Icing-enticing Heavenly taste Leave nothing to waste • • • • • • • • • #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram #poetrylovers #poetryisnotdead #poetryislife #poetry #poet #poem #poetsofinstagram #poetsociety #poetsofig #igpoets #instapoem #blackpoetry #blackpoetrycommunity #blackpoetsunited #writer #writersofig #writersofinstagram TheWrightings.com Twitter:@_Wrightings Tumblr: @TheWrightings Instagram: @_Wrightings https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYveZCuCkb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time will tell

I miss your smell

I miss your kisses keeping me warm

when In slumber

Loving me good when I fumble

Feeding my soul when it rumbles

My mind reminisces your mumbles

Calling my name to come and hold you

You were my drug I was your drug too

The tree in my leaf is a substitute for

what your love do

I still love you

I’d like to share this poem from my 17 year old mind

It’s dated 06.09.2015

Untitled

“I ran into the old me

She looks different from the old me

She’s happy and free

She says she’s proud of herself

So peaceful and serene now

It was like netting the younger her

She

Loves every bit of herself

From her head to her toes

Even though she is not done

Growing to be better is what she does”

At the end of the day

It was never about the words I wrote

It was never about the songs I sang

It was never about recognition or fame

It was and will always be about a pricked heart and a changed mind

Even if it’s just my own.

~ T.C.

no punting

i. they came with hard boots-- the kind perfect for necks; and a chest with embossed crest-- ii. I’m so up for next; broke-- but there ain’t no crutches left; def; enveloped by enemies without depth and a wasteland on their waistband;

iii. talk growth and they look at you like you a spaceman; they’ll look you in your face-- blam!

iii. head spinning like the world; had to quit clamming to get to the pearls; I’m up; I’m next-- I’m fresh;

iv. I love life-- each breath feels like a lie confessed; it’s truth I seek; protect the meek; v. no injustice shall go unpunished; last day out, first day in: rock em in the face and ask who run it I’ll always go for it on 4th down I ain’t gonna let my gravestone read: he punted.

Today I Stood Where My Hero Died

Today I stood where my hero died–

Onlookers scrambling on each and every side as I stood

Glaring at that balcony stilled in time,

Picturing the closing moments of this humble King’s life

Here–alive.

And as the Memphis heat weighed down on every side, I questioned

Have I ever felt something alike

Nah, nothing that I’ve ever felt in this life

Compared to standing in the very place my hero died.

And as I stood–upon pebbled concrete,

Shaken from my crown to the soles of my feet

I could almost hear the crying eyes covering the streets

Smell the panic and the chattering teeth

I could almost taste the devastation lingering in the air

Touch the hopelessness, the rage, the despair

The first question we wonder is how is this fair?

But the legacy of evil is it simply does not care

And I stood there–wondering what if he was still alive?

Or rather, what if he had lived a longer life?

I know he said longevity has its place

But his concern was God’s face and not human’s embrace

But what if?

And what if for all of our leaders who were slain

By a white supremacist nation using God’s name in vain?

What if?

And as the Sun descended from that Tennessee sky

I silenced my wandering and closed my eyes,

Opened my hands and exhaled winds of The Spirit,

And from that position, this request became clearest:

“Anoint the work of my hands”

King said he may not arrive with us, but we’ll see The Promised Land

And I’ll be damned if I deny the hope of that man

And let purpose slip through the grip of my hands

May the legacy of a King live on in me.

May I do everything in my power to help us all to see

The mountaintop where we’ll all be free

May I be forever faithful to build this city

To Jada: Hashtag I wish I never met her at all😔

It's 11:51 Saturday morning and my will is weak. The woman that I truly love is laying in bed sleep. And if that wasn't enough to make your curiosity peak. She's laying with her man and my thoughts are running deep. See I'm not her man nor is she mine to keep. But in my mind the ocean of my thoughts begin to seep. Through cracks and exits akin to a widows peak. It's safe to say me and her man may have unspoken beef. But my beef is with her and you wonder why I weep. Because when I text her my heart begins to leap. The magic of love is like a mattress with some sheets. See it covers you up so you can protect yourself from the cold wrath of nature. See you wonder why I hate her and I wake up angry and curse at my creator. See why did I meet you and why are you so greater than any other woman I met shit I even crowned you Jada. Funny that name was the name of the friend of PAC. The one who brought him to climax without penetration. See our love is weird because I question if the shits real and why you won't leave your man without any hesistation. But see I'm a black man who's down on his luck and at the moment my pockets speak lint. And your man see he's a worker a real self starter and you never have to question the rent. But see I have dreams and my vision screams so eloquently bitch I'm in love with you. But I can't be broke and have you looking like a joke that is something that I just can't do. So you being with your man and us having our thing might be the only thing that is tried. An attempt despite the evident the evidence that when I came to this realization I felt like I could just die😔

The pair of each angered word wants to pluck at my brain

The replay of the scenes of hurt threaten to cast clouds on my day

But when the reality of how far I’ve come and pleas to stay

I welcome it with open arms and the past worries of life fly away

Since I'm only ten poems away from finishing my third poetry book, I decided to release the title and book coverthat's a work in progress right now! Something very different from the other two previous book covers. I think this one captures the theme of the third book which has poems that talk about my relationship with God. A release date is not set yet, but once I'm finished, I'm sure I will have a date ready to release! #poetry #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #poetrybook #poet #poets #poetrybooks #poetryloverscommunity #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #blackpoetrycommunity #blackpoet #author #authorscommunity #authors #writer #writers #writing #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #bookcoverreveal https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyuD5OHFmo/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Nada” I once cared about nothing The time I gave away The change I avoided To keep what’s wrong the same Barren we’re my thoughts Frigid was my talk The notion of correction Was rarely ever sought Deep, infinite, formless Cold, desolate, pointless I once cared about nothing And got nada in return Squandered opportunities Misspent time to burn The ultimate user error Dividends with no return I once cared • • • • • • • • • • #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram #poetrylovers #poetryisnotdead #poetryislife #poetry #poet #poem #poetsofinstagram #poetsociety #poetsofig #igpoets #instapoem #blackpoetry #blackpoetrycommunity #blackpoetsunited #writer #writersofig #writersofinstagram TheWrightings.com Twitter:@_Wrightings Tumblr: @TheWrightings Instagram: @_Wrightings https://www.instagram.com/p/ClTWLOEOHJI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Im lonely

Not hopeless

I’ve broken but only eye notice

I’ve spoken just to be silenced

So when graced with my presence

What is so surprising

Weed smoke in my eyelids

Don’t try to define him

Don’t try to define me

Hate me love me try me

My body is alluring

My existence out of this world

Picking my lock is much more complex

than a simple twist and curve

I attract the city girl and the pretty girls

The lonely boys and the hold me boys

The I might be able to finesse him

Until the Gemini grants you’re forgotten

blessing

Don’t test him

Stress me with your s’s and your

messes

Your attention is a weapon

That you hold well

Cock it pull it

Show me your bullets

Pull it cock it

Blast off the pockets

Fuel me up and erupt me like a rocket

I’ve killed the forest

I’ve lit my fire on your reign

Your field is empty

Still the leaves dancing on the plane

whisper my name

What are you saying

You cried out and I came

I cried out and was blamed

Shame

I became

But I was first afraid
