Recycled-Remission
I tell myself each day I breathe, “Fall back this is wack!!!”: Stop living in the Past, you gotta just stop treading back. Why continue to love one who don’t even love you back? I keep reminding myself, “Just chill, and stay Trill”: When Others are Fake, you just have to stay Real. Don’t kill… Continue reading

Deception is a 2-Way Street:
You say I’m unfaithful, but look at you……you’ve had another Man in our home. How can I trust you to keep what we share sacred……if you’re with another behind closed-doors, alone? You have accused me of lying, and not being transparent……but, your dishonesty has been even more than evident. You stated that I’ve been communicating… Continue reading

Exploring You
You are uncharted, unclaimed, unscathed, untamed… …I wish to plant my flag upon you, to enjoy the fame. Your deep, green rainforest, wet with wonder… …so many secrets to reflect upon & discover.

I want to give You Comfort
I wish I were there to brush your cheek & dry away the tears… …to have your head laid against my chest, to calm all your fears. It would be my joy, if I could expel from your life, all that makes you annoyed… …this would make me happy, to relieve you from anything you’d… Continue reading

Gareth Bryant vs. Cyrus McGoldrick:
Author’s-Note: Every month I’ll be conducting a Poetic-Challenge, challenging various poets, whom I personally know/interact with, just for the sake of sharpening/improving my own poetry, general-goodwill, respect for my fellow “Brethren of the Paper & Pen”, and to just see who from among us has the best “Poetry-Skillz”…Every month, I’ll be picking a brand-new Poetic-Challenger,… Continue reading

Do You want a Wife or a Baby-Momma?!!!
Don’t be tryin’ to creep into all the Sister’s-Circles, pretending like you’re lookin’ to get intended. When what you really want is another notch on your belt, someone to slide with, to take to bed. Playing with a Believing-Woman, you’re playing with Fire. There’s no extinguisher for any Man’s misdirected desire. Just because she gives… Continue reading

I’m One with the Wind:
I am that newly fallen Leaf, in October… …flying in the Wind, when Summer’s over. I dash across the seas & oceans, like the Atlantic… …leaving all stress behind me, I’m not at all frantic. You cannot keep-up with me, I’m up, too high, in the Sky… …You didn’t want me when I was here,… Continue reading

The Reality of Breaking-Up with Someone:
Regardless to how difficult it may be, when you are with someone & it’s not going anywhere, it’s time to let go & move on: some relationships just can’t be fixed & some people just shouldn’t be together…And, that’s OK…that’s Life. We all should/must come to terms with the reality that just because we want… Continue reading

Let’s Love for the Right-Reason:
“Boy meets Girl”…they become each other’s world. She buys him clothes, he buys her diamonds, pearls. But, is this “True-Love”, or is it just a “good-time”? Is it the “Long-Hall”, or a one-night “wine & dine”? When we use this word…L.O.V.E….what, exactly, does it really mean? Are we emotionally invested in someone, or is it… Continue reading
