Rue Palmer

With disdain i gave out a sigh
and with hope i look in the sky
it was a surprise to see, something
really spectacular in me.
...

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work, for bills would soon be due.
...

...

I come to you with open arms,
intended for us to merge as one.
but you were so shy, you let me
have it in the eye.....
...

We all share the same destination,
check out the down town six train,
on the bus ever one has a stop, a view
of monday night football game, mugging
...

where ever I go he is with me,
in everything I do he is with me
my whole life he is with me
he carry me...where ever I go
...

re you ready to take a leap of faith with me?
Are you ready to make each others dream come through?
No chess games, no games all
No penny pinching, no vindictiveness, no lies.
...

Your eyes is like nothing
I have seen
dark and bold, so sharp and witty.
...

ALL THIS CONFUSION ABOUT LIFE
AND WHERE IT TAKES YOU, YES
everyday the tables turn in others
direction and I am left with the clean
...

yes the dead is buried
and the hood is full of pain
tears is all over the lane
and there is no love to share,
...

COMING TO A CLOSE
FULL OF MEMORY OF LONG
CRYING TALE, STARTED WITH A BANG
AS ALWAYS AND SLOW TO A CRAWL, AFTER MARCH
...

I am lonely, frustrated and in despair.
Sometimes I wonder if people do care.
I search myself but cannot see if I am
the person I should be.
...

UNITED NATION WE HAVE THEM THINKING
AMERICAN DREAM IS A HOUSE CAR AND PICKET FENCE.
MARTIN LUTHER KING DREAM OF A NEW TOMORROW
YET WE HAVE THAT EVER DAY AND STILL NEVER COME,
...

When I come and ask that same intimate question,
Don't tell me dis and dat bout John and Dora, or
bout them foreign high bug.
Dem nuh come from rock.
...

It was only once that you stared at me so angrily.
Tears filled your heart for it was only once that I
made you that mad.
...

My cousin reassures me which rings no bell
if she dies today which is not out of the way
send her no flowers, she never cares anyway
cry no tears.
...

Of love I check
This was it
With all to offer
Share and be a part of
...

I trod this path through genesis with
vision of hope, wisdom, and intelligence
to learn.
...

Any day now, Monday, Wednesday,
or today Friday yuh, mi, or anybody
cant lose dem work.
...

Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than I
...
