Behind Every Dark Cloud....
A Day unto which a child was born
A child who held in his hand
A pencil
And his heart
And unto this pencil he would write
Write
Write on his soul and write his souls his
Dreams and write his plan.
He would paint the sky and tell what.
It deferred
But his heart
His heart
His heart ever red and ever pure
Ever loved by no one
This un-named born was I
I
I
I was the born I was the child born
Unto the day with the pencil and heart
In hand
By the time I had realized the purpose of said pencil.
I was of 5 years
But age comes to me fast
With what the adults
Call the “smelling yo self” ages
I started challenging my heart
Seeing who I could give it to
Who
Who
Who
WHO WASN’T WORTHY OF THE PUREST
LOVE
So the search began
High and low………………
I searched
From mountain to vallies…………..
I looked
Acclivity to declivity
City to city
Town to town
…………………………………………………….
Nothing
So I sat with my heart
And wrote what I noted
I charted
I mapped
I solved mathematical equations
I factored the difference and subtracted the numerator
WHILE dividing the denominator
I solved for X
While defining what Y equation
AND THEN!!!!
I found out what the equation equaled
It equaled
It equaled
It equaled???!!!
A silver lining
Behind every dark cloud
Is said to be a…
Silver lining
I sat and told myself
Over and over…
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
So I put it to the test
When worth
The friends I had
Turned to face music
I wasn’t to play the harmony of
I said
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
When classified as being gay
I said
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
When my mom
STRONG
FIERCE
WOMAN OF THE BLACKNESS
SPAT FROM THY LIPS!!!
“FAGGOT”
I said
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
As I churned this
This butter brain of mine
I said to every boy
Girl.
Man.
Woman.
Child.
Infant.
Embryo.
Senior citizen.
Who has been beat down,
Rejected,
Because of the iridescent glow
Of their skin,
The Sex they choose to love,
Remember…..
“Behind every dark cloud there’s
A silver lining”
