STOP AND LOOK!! DESPERATLY SEEKING FRIENDS:

I`m in need of the written word and comfort that comes with it.

I`m stranded on Death Row and facing this death sentence alon, with only my faith to hold on to. I have been abandoned by friends and family, after many broken promises.

Now I reach out to you, looking for the human compassion, caring and understanding that can help me through this troubling time in my life. I don`t fear death, but the loneliness I face and the lack of outside involvement in the obstacles before me.

Write a letter and make my day, and uplift my spirits.

I am 41 years old, poet, artist, student of writing lieterature and history.

I welcome all interested in bridging the cap and building lasting friendship and relationship.

“WRITE A LETTER”

Pen and paper are the tools of a scribe,

My feelings and heart are my vibe

Expressions of me come alive,

That stimulate written thoughts I apply

Genuine is my reach to the other side

They say the soul can be seen through the eyes

So my bep bleeds for the tears that I should cry

May my soulful expression be seen with your eyes

And I hope to see yours in your reply

Let us build and grow, like the sunrise.

“BOOK OF THE DEAD”

Bars become books

Inner voice says look

Revelations from Tehuti

Divine message is the beauty

Third eye is the beholder

Light is the head, on the shoulders

Ra, inspire the bloom of knowledge

Cell confinement becomes my college

Study the science of the world

Emerge from the slam of a cell, a pearl

Blank cell walls are my tomb

Paint them with my mind, with scenes of life in colorful bloom

Initiate my rebirth and twice born, from this imprisoned womb.
