POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
From the depths of the soil in this fertile land I rise and I shine through only to pour out my feelings to you.
Sleep Little Angel
You would be seven now .
I imagined you'd look like me
with a little of your dad maybe.
I still remember your little toes
and that cute button nose.
Every day feels like yesterday,
time has swept no pain away.
How special you were
in your own tiny way.
The emptiness consumes me,
Nothing fills the void,
of having everything going for you
then suddenly its destroyed.
Heart beating
so fast
so loud
deafening
i'm awake now,
why am I still dreaming?
you are no longer here,
life...

My skin
Why should I have to apologize for the Melanin in my skin?
Whether you like it or not, this is the shade I was born in,
From the thick kinks on my crown,
To the curvy bulge of my hips
This is the frame I was formed in.
Does my juicy pink lips offend you?
So what, if you don't like me,
So what, if you can’t stand to see
The giggling of my butt in my leopard leggings
No wait, squash that stereotyping.....
Correction, my black leggings.
Why that dirty look my dear
When I sway to the rhythm of Conscious tunes.
Ha, when...

I Felt the Rain
someone would swear I was losing it, had they passed my house just now
Felt a rain drop on my skin, I immediately sat on the step as the rain soaked me. I allowed the rain to drench my clothing and for a moment I felt peace. I saw the rainbow kiss the sky and felt the vapors of stress desert my flesh.
I couldn't recall the last time I felt so within myself as childhood memories of dancing in the rain flood my mind. No worries of catching the flu or burdens of paying bills and having to work.
I can tell you when last i felt the rain. Like literally felt the...

Rest In Peace C.A.B
Sometimes I believe
My brother still lives
and that the body they found was not his
but somebody else's
Closed casket, I asked to see
Best remember him as he was, they said to me
So much damage to his flesh,
they inflicted wounds into his chest
Four wicked men against one humbled soul
what evil rules this world
They tethered his hands and feet,
placed plastic over his head and they left him for dead.
Dominica! a place where causing death by blunt force trauma gives you a slap on the wrist and no jail time.

Hurricane Maria
Alas I felt a ray of sun kissing my skin beneath the storm.
I prayed and prayed lord let it end
This monster that keeps me out of bed
Would it take the roof from over my head
Would it drag the very foundation that kept me sted
Woe raging winds or horror
Woe rain that floods the core
Treacherous surges, bodies washed ashore
The aftermath devastating
Mental damage galore
the homeless, the hungry
My God the babies,
No more, no more!

Sigh!
Sometimes I feel like I'm just constantly falling
Swirling, spiraling down a dark abyss
Trying to keep my head afloat but my emotions won’t let me go
Like why am I always over thinking
Dreaming nightmares instead of wonders
Why do my eyes fill up with tears of regrets and hurtful situations of the past?
Like why can’t I get past it
I clenched my fists sometimes I hold my breathe,
Just so long as the contraction of the thought has left
My mind numbed, I feel nothing
But its just for a while till everything comes rushing
Like a...

It's Complicated
He told me he wanted to be in my life,
I told him my shits complicated.
He didn't care,
He said whatever it is he'd be there.
Boy I've got issues and baggage too much to bare.
He said he'd help me carry no matter the despair
until I let my walls down and let him in,
After I've invested all my time and energy in....
Only then,
He realized my life was complicated
baby girl with too many issues,
too many baggage,
your shits complicated,
I cant be with you!

DD Blessed or Cursed
I am torn
should I accept or not accept
Do I have choice,
your body is not who you are, people say
but it sure has a hell of a lot to do with how I am
you are beautiful,
the men say,
but of course I am.
Who wouldn't be with two double Ds and thick thighs.
I'm gorgeous yet you don't look into my eyes, do you?
It feels good to be appreciated but do they appreciate me,
do I tho?
damn you, two voluptuous boobs, what a task you lay before me.
when others just throw on and go, I have to think......
Will they show,

Nothing left
Take, take, take.
I gave you all of me, big mistake.
How could I have been so naïve,
naïve to see that you were using me.
Taking everything you took from me,
bleeding my heart dry, deserted.
sucking the life out of me, why did you?
Why didn't you just let me be,
let me go, so I could love who loved me,
but no, greedy beast wanted all of me
and the more I gave the more you took from me
till there was nothing left of me.

See Me But Dont See Me
Who the fuck are YOU looking at, fat pig.
I see YOU, but the eww you've become.
Beautiful as the sunrise, majestic as it sets,
what a woven basket of lies.
I saw the you, YOU once were,
reaching for the stars, setting goals and aspirations.
How the fuck did it get this far?
So far behind into distance that it blurs your beauty,
so far that I cant see, YOU!
I'm peeling layers and layers of self doubt, lowered self esteem, sadness, anxiety, self hatred, self disappointment, self, self, self....
Fuck I'm tired, I...
