Performed last night in Houston @wanpoetry
RnB and Poetry Open Mic.

I always remind people that (respectfully) my bag doesn't come from this. When I say things, there's no agenda. When I do things, there's no endgame.

So with that being said.
I want to give a few people their flowers.

The host @richellegemini definitely showed her range from comedy to vocals to poetry. 🌹

@rnbshandel dude is simply an R&B hitmaker. 🌹

@msamandasharee bodied her vocals with bronchitis.🌹

I know a lot of Disney princesses don't look like you, but black women deserve fairy tale endings too.

This was the speech that I gave after my poetry set.

I really hope that y'all find happiness. Create a life that your genuinely happy with. I hope y'all find something real. Instead of having the cosplay as healed. by @thepoeticwraith

Eroticly Yours Presents: The Poetic Wraith, as part of the line up for the upcoming Erotic Poetry Night 🔥

June 18, 19:30-23:00
@tolhuistuin, Amsterdam
Link in bio for info & tickets
_____

Join us for a night designed to awaken the senses through poetry, storytelling, music, and performance art, all centered around the erotic, curated by @word.magician

Introducing @thepoeticwraith
Born in Brooklyn, The Poetic Wraith is a poet, host, and storyteller whose work blends romance, dark humor, truth, and raw emotional honesty. Taking his name from the cult 1980s film The Wraith — a story about a phantom seeking justice against the gang that murdered a young man — he embraces the identity of the antihero rather than the traditional loverboy.

While much of his poetry explores love and vulnerability, he is equally driven by a deep sense of justice, personal reflection, and sharp wit. His performances often move between heartfelt intimacy and haunting realism, giving audiences poetry that feels both cinematic and deeply human.

Beyond the stage, The Poetic Wraith created and hosted The Black Gatsby, a free open mic experience designed as a celebration of poets, artists, and self-expression — a night where voices could be heard, appreciated, and unapologetically themselves.

But in the end he just wants to be a good human being. Who shares Art. Rides motorcycles and makes love to the same woman every night. Everything else... is make believe

I think some ppl spend so much time "playing the game"... they wake up one day and realize they only played themselves.

Here's to growing up watching a black man (father/ husband) loving on his black woman (mother/wife). Cheers to you crazy kids 🥂 .

@thepoeticwraith wants to live in a world where Disney princesses look more like melanin queens. Black women absolutely deserve fairytale endings too! He wants you to know that you deserve your flowers! 🌹🌹🌹Follow him for more insight, poetry, and thought-provoking conversations.
