About Me

My photo
Poet, producer, spoken word and visual artist. Co-founded the lyrical music ensemble COPUS. My love of the sheer beauty of poetry took hold when I was in high school. Soon after I heard an album by the legendary "Last Poets". Later I Began writing and reciting poetry at cafes and upon various stages after taking a college course called "Poetry For The People". At a party one evening I did a spontaneous collaboration of one of my poems with a concert pianist named Michael Feinstein. The beauty of it put me on a quest to find a composer who would work together with me writing music for my words and my flow. Some six years later I met a most prolific composer and pianist, Wendy Loomis. COPUS is the result of our collaboration for over fifteen years now. COPUS is an acronym for 'Creation Of Peace Under Stars'. That's how we roll. Under the peace, love, harmony banner. I hope you'll take some of each with you on your journey and from this blog. Bless.

Mother

Mother of ideas mother of life
Mother of all beauty and strife
Mother of a time now long past
In whose light a shadow half cast

There lies a babe wrapped
Warmly in green the color of
No fear for whats unseen
For seen all things be when understood

Understanding must be to perceive
What we should for that which is
Above is as that which is below
Little else will you need to know

Then be on your way my child
Now go for the mother of your
Soul awaits you
Mother of Soul awaits

Yesterday Is Gone


Yesterday is gone and only now remains
Tomorrow is yet to come may we be free of her chains
The only way to penetrate our target
Is to set a true aim

Yesterday is gone tomorrow is yet to come and only now remains

To move on to be strong to return from whence we came
Noble are these in wisdom and in truth
Yet here we are now the same
Yes here we are now as living proof from which our freedom is gained

Yesterday is gone tomorrow is yet to come and only now remains

I am certain you will all agree that it is sometimes very strange
The times we'd have it all laid out at once
To see it clearly and with no pain
Then there are the times we play the role of the dunce who instinctively refrains

From the classroom of yesterday and the storehouse of tomorrow
To grasp that in which is contained
The eternal ideal that we call now which is all that remains

Kisses Video & Lyrics


Your kisses were for me last night
I loved the way you held me tight
I dropped my guard and forgot to fight
Your kisses were for me last night

My eyes were only for you last night
But in the end my bubble burst in flight
I lost my bearings wrong or right
My eyes were only for you last night

Your kisses were for me last night
Were they sweet or just full of spite
Please my back is no place for a knife
Your kisses were for me last night

Haves And Have Nots



The Haves Have
The Have Nots In A Knot
The Haves Have
The Have Nots In A Rot

Have You Any Idea
Just Who And What Created
This Plot
For The Haves Have All
While All Others
Have Naught

The Haves Have
The Have Nots By The Crotch
The Haves Rule The World
By The Clock

The Haves Have 
The Haves Nots Acting
Like Robots
Have You Any Thoughts

For The Haves Have All
While All Others 
Have Naught

There Is One Thing That
I Nearly Forgot
The Have Nots Have
That Which For Centuries The
Haves Have Sought

Strength Which Is Greater Than
Strength Itself
Beauty Which Cannot Be Duplicated
Nor Destroyed

And The Will To Endure
Even Unto
The Very End
