soul mated
that rib around my neck

imagine you wake up with me beside you
exactly why

i heart in the city


you are still selfish

until today
ocean tides

the missing you oath



heaven's glory (funeral)
the great question (marriage proposal)

a friend, within (friend tribute)
perfume-free scents (for black women)


atlanta is my home
even the sky
america to redefine
black man's work


when Jesus turned His back on me
prelude to heaven
acoustic prayer


open mic nite
in this shop
introduction to music



funny that way (social awareness)
garbage outside (domestic violence)
child support checkmarks
post-sirens (for Sean Bell)



away (age 15)
the night that jesus came
(age 16)
you, you, and you (age 16)

my excuse (age 17)
what anyone could do (age 17)
the reason (age 18)
