A Musical Note About Michael Lizzmore "Rare Soul."

A Musical Note About Michael Lizzmore Rare Soul



I got a secret you want to know, here it is a musical one. The musically gifted Michael Lizzmore is the best kept secret in Forest Hills, Queens better yet New York City. A true, pure, phenomenal virtuoso. His aptitude still undiscovered even though he was once a Capitol records artist with his hit single "Promised That You'll Wait" and has not been given the opportunity to blaze the music scene. It is with extreme pleasure and… Continue

Natural Cane by Lepadah

His desire spread evenly

tendering the arc of each leg

the flimsy feel to silk paper

a woman stitched sides

tattooed chronicles twine

Cane lovingly tracing her tribal Ankh

kissing the faded scar upon the arm

guiding hands to Pandora box

toweling aqueous droplets

African Lemongrass roaming over both

bodies washed together

each one kneading human fields full of glory

awaken buried stories

told on these wishful moments

readings… Continue

Blues Of Qadesh

He is the bogeyman
attempt penumbra of Qadesh
an ignus fatuus
struggle of Ghede

I vow to rest in his arms
forever...
unbreakable talisman

they're pregnant matinee
perishing nymphomaniacs
returning old women
misuse, used

relegate to endure alone
after passion burn
after the bogeyman
canonize intimacy

forever ... I vow

Evaporated Impression Of The Vampire And The Succubus

Left like one thought he would

a summer parboil

drape a curtsy

view severing a dark haze

presenting the night vampire

he occupied a large empty travel bag

vein nigh his succubus

moving boxes, shacking trash bags

ferreting some other man's overcoats and wears

await divine fellatio

attend behind him from room to room

leering at his being lost

inside an emptied bedroom

unraveling the bald soul

a isolated contour

standing in… Continue

The Casey Anthony verdict. A case-study of a fact-o-phobic society.

The Pan-African community; not people, our community is a World. African Warlord X 



Well, O.J. Simpson's next pin-pal will soon be let free after being tried for allegedly ( wink, wink ) playing some role in murdering her daughter. O.J. trial type evidence was presented to a jury, and unfortunately, an O.J. trial type verdict was reached. Tens-of-thousands ( or possibly millions ) of children go missing each year, so this year's " blonde…

New York City 100 Degrees And The Scorch Of The Hot Crotch

Once sneaking a lunchtime fondle

burning parts

return visit to camouflaged amusement

isolated in the deemed pantheon

of a narcissist

a ladies lavatory

fastening the stall

reeling against the back

agitated unbuckling of slacks

the girly glee massaging quickly the clitoris

that throbbed to a swell

mutiny of three itchy fingers

glob with embrocation

hard thumping a buttock balking

catching a naughty moan

one hand employed… Continue

This Business.......is like and Education.....What have you learned?

I took on writing when I was younger.  What age?  I couldn't tell you; after the death of my mother I was going through her things and found poems, notes or thoughts, stories and a few other things I wrote and totally forgot about. What stood out for me was during a class in college, I began writing poems.  I collected them for years never thinking about publishing. I showed them to those who would nod gracefully and at times request my work.  I've made greeting cards, never was much for…

PIMP

Hooked won't turn you loose

I won't let you go

hard to say

how many lives perished away

tricked out by my Brooklyn appeal

I deal you steal

your grandma's pension checks

to satisfy the get high

off my most potent shit

that keeps you running down black streets

searching doorways

along deserted blocks

with whores

rolling the stroll

running my track

holding my back

straight you hear

underneath my bridge

many… Continue
