      Foreword

  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

  gud dae mate

  goodbye my love

  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,

  it's just the game of life
