Sometimes I feel like this ...

Sometimes the one giving it ...

Sometimes the one taking it ...

Live such a life ... 
That the energy you put forth into the things you love ... 
Speak louder than you have to #JafarAlamPoetry

Rumi ...

In the heavens I see your eyes ...

In your eyes I see the heavens ...

Why look for another Moon ...

Or another Sun ???

What I see will always be enough for me ...

R.I.P Amiri Baraka ...

Khalil Gibran ...

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility ... 

Never an opportunity ...

THIS !!!

I tasted the sweetness of your presence for a moment ... 

And it spoiled the whole world for me ... 

Now everything other than you is bitter ...

This Is Us In Toronto Right Now ...

There are words that know no silence ... 
There are silences that have no words ‪#‎JafarAlamPoetry‬

R.I.P James Avery ...

James Avery is gone (R.I.P) ... 

But Uncle Phil is not ... 

Uncle Phil will forever live in TV Land ... 

Where things are safe, perfect and laugh tracked ... 

Yeeeup !!!

Saul Williams ...

I think I should aim at nothing more than ridding myself of lying, negative attitudes, trying to control how other people see me, overconcern about what others think of me, dishonest expression of emotions, trying to possess that which isn’t mine, false humility, lack of discipline: physically, mentally, spiritually and of all that leaves me incapable of giving and receiving love ... Simply, I don’t have to try to be a poet or how I imagine a poet should or would be ... I don’t even have to write, as long as I am honest to each moment rather than to ideas of myself ...

Zora Neale Hurston ...

There are years that ask questions ...

And years that answer ...

2013 ... 
Don't write her off too quick ... 

There's still a few days left ... 

She's still got some life in her ... 

Treat her right while she's here ...

One Love ... One Heart ... Let's Get Together And Feel Alright ...
