Listen to My Heart _ new poetry March 2026

Listen to My Heart 

Listen to my heart 

Sing a prayer for you 

I'm not gonna say 

Too much 

Because it means more 

Than words 

When I act this way 

To show how 

Much I care 

I care more 

And more 

Each day 

And for you 

My heart it prays 

Listen to my heart 

Sing a prayer 

For you

Poisonous Beauty _ new poetry March 2026

Poisonous Beauty 

It's not a pretty cherry 

It's a kind, make you sick 

She sure looks like a cutie

A belle named Tootie Fruity 

But her bite, worse than a tick 

Paid good money, took a trip

Took a plane, took a ship 

But the advertising, was a trick 

A TV Star with a cheap gimmick 

Slick sheiks, snakes, oil & gold 

Belly dancers, silk, & story told 

Looks beautiful, tastes like mold 

Smells delicious but already sold 

There's no poison in your eyes 

They know no evil, know no lies 

A life of truth not for a prize

That feeling the sun will rise

Mr. MoJo Risin _ new poetry March 2026

Mr. MoJo Risin

He's coming around 

Headed to town 

Down the Oklahoma City Line 

It's tornado alley time 

Her grandmother is Creek

She likes when he speaks 

Deer skin boots and skirt

And his denim cowboy shirt 

She gives him wampum 

He gives them music 

Language of mountains 

Sky, water, birds 

Herds to be heard 

With your ear to the ground 

Colorful vibrations of sound

“That Black Man” _ original 1990’s poetry

"That Black Man"

You know that black voice crying in the inner light?

Her humbleness and pride decentralizing because of dehumanization

soliloquizing to the world in the name of nihilistic solipsism on his dusty wooden floor while he picks a splinter out of his barefoot

A lit candle attacking the night singing a fatalists delight

You know that black man

who cries in the distance?

that black man

no name

just that black man

cold bitter nights and blistering sorrows knows him just the same

As that black man someone living life

smiles and humbly without a name

however unfortunate

playing the game

that black man

that lucky black man.
