Flesh Tone By Raymond Tyler


 

We Have Stretched The Words

FLESH TONE
Now the TONE
Goes DEEP into AMERICA
where afro puffs and micro braids mean
GOOD HAIR
FLESH TONE
is no longer
ONE TONE
that looks like
The One Before That
And The One before that
12 crayons
or 1200
Would not capture all the
TONES
needed to color
MY BOOK
From Super Man to Nelson Mandela
From Serena Williams to Angelina Jolie
and back again...
I would tell you to take a color
But I feel the true beauty comes when you
MAKE THE COLOR

  POETRY POETRY POETRY - YOU ARE MY JAZZ By Carla Davis  (used by permission of the author) 01/06/2016 this was written and I haven’t done much since...I need to start writing again... -Carla Davis My pulse you can feel when your lips kiss my neck & my heart beats irregular as prickly hairs stand erect ... You are my BASS Vocal your words most powerful ... Unwisely used can be oh so harmful .... My brass stomach emulates a whirlwind ... As a reed to your lips a family of woodwind ..... You are my SAX I love your old soul mirroring RAGTIME ... Yes you both prove difficult to define ... Still grinding & running you're so HIP-HOP ... Yet chill like the spliff at a REGGAE spot ... Right words you say smooth as R&B ... I speak of this often but kept between you and me ... My emotions erratic does BLUES with its RHYTHMS ... So many varied sub genres there's no end to your visions .... BUT Wikipedia says the key elements to you is improvisation ... YOU ARE MY JAZZ !!!
