This collection of poems is my fourth journey into the poetry realm.This book is also special to me ,because ten years ago my poem "Me And Proud To Be," became the first of many poems published.I'm celebrating this wonderful occasion by presenting this book to you all as a thank you for reading my work for a decade. This book is also a sequel to my previous book "Choose The Stars." Whereas that book was about the lighter side of love,this one is more darker and reality driven. For example the poem "Igloo In California," dealt with rare love, "Duck Rings" deals with pain.I also include some old style favorites the word play series as well as the last poem, One More For The Reader 4. I hope that you all enjoy reading this book, as I have enjoyed writing it.
Dedication
I dedicate this book to the three special people in my life,two of whom are no longer with me.My Father,Festus Adeeko Banjo.My great grandmother Juanita Doris Robinson and My wonderful Godson,Devonte Deon James 3.You all will forever be apart of me
Defiant Jupiter(poem)
carride to creation
Just past the stars
Past the human galaxy
There is a home waiting to see
Turn left at jupiter right past
Mars
Straight past venus and the sun
Up as high past the natural eye's view
That is where I will be soon
Don't look for me
Cause I wont want to be found
Just look up I will be all around
Word play 4(tupac songs pt.1)
Dear mama I shed so many tears dealing with these temptations
Keep your head up because it's all about u
I realized that it's me against world
cause all eyez on me like i'm part of 2 of amerika's most wanted
Did you know brenda had a baby cause she's skandelous
Oh what she won't do for love, she knows thugs get lonely too in the late night
She wasn't loyal to the game
Showing california love and hittin em up
Hail mary until the end of time stop running and live and die in LA
I aint mad at cha cause still I rise
The heartz of men need cry for black jesus and the ghetto gospel
Instead of teardrops and closed caskets
I'm trapped cause I get around
Holla if you hear me
Lord knows,it ain't easy writing this letter to the president
Galactic Underground(poem)
Going deeper than ever have gone before
Yet going higher
Writing and living
living and writing
Letting my soul reach it's pentacle
Loud Mars(poem)
my soul is chilled from the night breezes of life
my heart is waxxing colder as the days go by
Rich but poor
Happy but sad
Lost but found
My body is grieving
Poetic Conversation On High Street 2(poem) (w/ Craig A. Warren)
Love gives one flight Love shows us the meaning of this life's existence
Never hiding her true face in the way of life
Sweet lady love,sings a song that sometimes leads down the road of ruin
As I contemplate this beautiful yet ugly thing called love a poet speaks to me
"Hey Love" says a soothing, comfortable voice from the foggy mists of despair
I kind of like the way you feel when you empower my passions strengthen my truths
Love has fooled me once and shame on me
Alas, she will never guide my heart on her ship through the abyss of despair
The voice drifts away like a cloud of mistretareating across the horizon to reveal the dawn of a new day truth and validify my horror
I know you mean well, but my life is my own
Love hath no control over my soul with her wicked lies and blissful half-truth Peace calls to me once again Further
Strong wind brought sounds of sorrow
Love had been there and wrecked shop
No one lived
All were slayed
She, miss Love
Galactic Translation(poem)
Now I know why I have been writing them love poems
Because somehow my spirit knew That I would meet
Stars and galaxy alligned
Now you are mine
God did me a wonderful favor
When he brought your star closer to my galaxy
We have an endless galactic translation going on
Faithfully cosmic
Eternal eclipse of our souls Intersystemic meteor shower of love
My big dipper
my planet revolves around you
my sun
Thank heaven for this galactical translation
Venus Upset(poem)
As the prayer escapes my lips
The pain of love haunts me like a nightmarish ghost
Wishing for the beautiful meadows
The happy bouncing song
I am barren
In the weakness of Venus' grip
Oh Mars please save me
Fire destroys
The love that rained on my spirit As the zombies of heartache and pain
Attack my mind and my spirit
I cry out for a rescue
Yet no escape can be found
Swinger Low's Delight(poem)
Swimming in this sea
The waves of calm surrounding me
One touch,another kiss
capcilates me,
like Im on a shaky boat
Im the captain of this pleasure trip
Welcome aboard
More beautiful than the beach of hawaii
More rich in culture than Jamaica
Or cancun
Natural as a coconut tree
Bodies wall to wall
Intertwined Bliss is savored like a fine tenderized steak
We begin 2 quake like we're on the San Andres fault
Yelling
Swelling
Trapped in this never ending inferno
Don't need a rescue hero
Just loving this experience
Lady of the sun(poem)
She comes
dancing her dance of the dawn
Enchanting all who are blessed to feel her
Her kiss is as sweet and beautifully hot as ever
She is as bright as the stars
Lady of the sun how you bless me
Lady of the sun how we adore you
Lady of the sun you are a gift
Forgiveness for Devonte (poem)
Even though the pain still hurts like a fresh wound
I forgive you
Even though I still cry thinking about our situation
My heart has let go of the pain
Even though you dont care at all I've set the past free
If I held on to every wrong
I would be sick and bitter
That's why I forgive you
But I wont forget
International the fourth (poem)
Halo my dear
baoni my friend
alvitazen my love
Oui Oui my heart
mi amour my bloak
das dunchelheim sweet

Hope Room(poem)
Tall,proud
Smiling yet strong and stern
Beconning those who still believe to keep trying
to reach out and hug their fellow people
to show bro
therly and sisterly unconditional love
to show kindness
He is still alive and well
As long as we keep hoping for a greater tomorrow
Galactic Attack(poem)
Must run for cover
Have to hide
The wickedness of this planetary conquest
Is too much to bare
Like a bear about to maul
Or a lion about to pounce
Am the scared prey
Who does not stand a chance
Word Play 5(Tupac songs pt.2)
How do want it,holla at me
When we ride,it's thug passion
Got my mind made up to toss it up
Just me and my girlfriend
Hold ya head and playa cardz right
We will get krazy against all odds like outlaws
R u still down and ready for whatever,thug style
I'm getting money and I aint gotta lie to kick it
These changes make me wonder it heaven's got a ghetto
You proved that u can be touched at a high speed with this unconditionallove
Whatcha gonna do now that i'm catchin feelin's
I don't know why you turn me on you got me all out and breathin'heavily
You open fire on my heart with nothing to loose
You deserve fame for this fair exchange
You said let em have it
U dont have to worry
I wont tell your secretz of war
Im a changed man in my thugz mansion
U can call me anytime because you love is rare like a rose that grew from concrete
Wallet Approved(poem)
How much money do you have Cause I need $2,000
Where do you live
Hope it's in a good neighborhood,cause I want 2 stay with you
Can you cook for me
Cause I need 2 eat
Some may call me a gold digger who loves 2 find tricks
But no funds equals no love
Don't take care of them, they take care of me
Giving love only when credit is approved
That's just my way
You're only good to me,if your wallet is approved
Word Play 6 (Snoop Dogg Songs)
You're beautiful even when i sip on my gin and juice
I love it when you drop it like it's hot in a doggy dog world,
imagine that
Aint no fun if my homies can't have none,round here
Let's get blown with our gangsta luv,pronto
I wanna rock and
I wanna love you like boom and that's that
I wonder what it do with this boss' life
You caught the vapors for sixx minutes,trick please
You're the life of tha party with your conversations
Lets have a sensual seduction or a sexual eruption in El Lay by LAX
I say woof when you show me lovn and step your game up
Dont tell when we bang out,dont let go
Trust me you will love my medicine,it's like candy drippin like water and it's wet
Life is full of ups and downs but it wasnt your fault,
