His Broken Smile

His Baggy clothes

And Jewelry

Never could hide

His broken smile...

He thinks of halting, and then his belief

Matures to connotations.

He encountered the world while in a Bubble...

Living the Life with no goals,

You'll find yourself going in circles.

Around like a merry-go-round...

Young men don't pretend to not see

The discipline that you need.

His Baggy Clothes

And his Jewelry

Could never hide

His broken smile...

He said, “I Just wanted to let you know that we are not allowed to dwindle”.

“I thought I had figured

It out,
But The love is perishing...

I can't fake it at this juncture...

My love,

Why do you go shattering my heart...

Crusades Break down my partitions.

You push through Knowledge out of the way to disclosures...

I retain Pebble emotions that you

Can only display.

He Speaks and initiates the conversation with a Smile...

He tries to love...

And Hold dear...

He tries to Dote on...

But glorification

Was sidelined

By the Bruises in Life...

His Baggy clothes

And Jewelry

Never could hide

His broken smile...

He wear his Baggy pants

To pelt affection...

Or maybe boost his dignity!

Although his Baggy Clothes

And Jewelry

Never could hide

His Broken smile....

He lives in voluptuous Pride!

    You write with a passion that is unequaled on Vocal.

  • Your poems always make me so emotional! Very beautifully written!

  • All the ways we mask & try to hide ourselves, whether with false bravado or urban camouflage, trying to blend into the background. Until someone sees. And it makes all the difference. As one who sees, Lonzo, you really do make all the difference.

  • Beautiful. I loved the image for this. That was creative thinking at its best.

    Love the title , when something broken, you can either shatter or forged it stronger so it won’t break again. Very deep poem. Merry go round , it keep on breaking and trying to fix it the wrong way.

    Knocked down, but never out. So resilient despite the bruises on the body and the breaks in the heart. Well done!
