Ernest Loves Fatima
The whole of my life
Has been preparation for the moment when I became your husband
Every mistake I ever made
Was a learning experience so I would know how to do the right thing for you
Every pain I ever felt
Has shown me the truth of agony
And taught me what not to bring into your life
The things I have done right in my life
Have given me the confident knowledge
That I
Can do right
By you
My gratefulness to God
For each sunrise and each sweet breath of air
For my mother and father
And for my...

Hurricane Again
Sad
Again
I ran from Matthew
Gettn ready to run from Irma
Felt sympathy for the people hit by Harvey
Felt bad cuz I wuz glad it didn't come for us
Now I'm Waitn
Finna leave my little bit of the world
And hope there's something to come back to so I can become the hamster again on someone else's wheel
Feels almost like bein Black in America
Controlling nothing
Hopn to not lose to much
Waiting,
And hoping,
That forces beyond my control toss and batter my life, but don't completely wreck it ...

Something to Talk About, Something Worth Doing
Love
is a wonderful thing
Being loved
is scary
frightening and
nerve wracking
Losing love is a special kind of Hell
Whether you caused the breakup or not
Better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all
They say
But the pain of a breakup don't feel that way
Not how it feels when you can't sleep
Or when the sweetest cheesecake tastes like mud
But once you catch up to the world that continued on without you
Cuz you found your next great romance
It seems maybe it is better

Anticipation
Need and desire
Building within
Rising
Bubbling
Straining to be free
Hungry anticipation
Of the taste of you upon my tongue
Of the feel of your fingers upon my flesh
Yearning
To softly kiss your satin browness
To breathe in the sweet scent of you
Becoming intoxicated
As your heady aroma fills my lungs as surely as it permeates the barely moving air in this room
Turned away, you await
Contemplating which pleasures are to come
And considering which delights you,
Shall deliver
To me
Building within
Rising
Bubbling
Straining to be free
Hungry anticipation
Of the taste of you upon my tongue
Of the feel of your fingers upon my flesh
Yearning
To softly kiss your satin browness
To breathe in the sweet scent of you
Becoming intoxicated
As your heady aroma fills my lungs as surely as it permeates the barely moving air in this room
Turned away, you await
Contemplating which pleasures are to come
And considering which delights you,
Shall deliver

Thought Myself A Poet
Once
I thought to be a poet
To show my skills
That the world would know it
I mastered Rhyme
and Simile
That folks would shower praise on me
Yet when I put words out to see
Discovered some
much better than me
Instead of endless accolades
Near brighter stars
my own didst fade
Yet as I read those skilled and true
My own abilities slowly grew
And where,
Once I longed to be the best
I found my niche
And made my nest
No longer frightened
Embarrassed
Or scared
I freely...

Manuela
Were honey to be
As sweet as thee
Then happily I'd live
As a black and gold bee
Were the juice of the peach
As delicious as thee
I would spend my forevers
In the limbs of said tree
Yet nothing I've tasted
Or been blessed to see
Gives the thrills
or the pleasures
That you do to me
As sweet as thee
Then happily I'd live
As a black and gold bee
Were the juice of the peach
As delicious as thee
I would spend my forevers
In the limbs of said tree
Yet nothing I've tasted
Or been blessed to see
Gives the thrills
or the pleasures
That you do to me

Not of my Tribe
F##k the police
Not the ones that I know
But the brass and administrators
To Hell they should go
They're tight with the mayor
And Chamber of Commerce you see
But these snooty Ass top dogs
Got no time for me
Fix a business man's problems
Show a little leeway for his niece
She was only upset
Not drunkly disturbing the peace
The D.A. in Savannah
Charged a 13yr old girl
With robbery and battery
F##kn up a poor kid's world
Old enough to face adult time
When crime is the case
But ask for beer or wine...

Sun Kissed
Sun drenched beauty
Such as this
Soft like chocolate
Beneath my kiss
Enticing curves
The touch I miss
Delicious, Delightful
Sweet
Brown
Bliss

Temple of Doom
The body of a woman
Both temple and wasteland
Home
To the succulent,
satisfying,
delicious,
living altar
Upon which men pray while paying homage to the magnificence of woman
Yet also
The arid,
life-draining,
and brutal
unforgiving desert where love's sweet oasis goes dry
and Hell's own fire
leaves a heart's bones to wither
and bleach white in the furious sun.
I had been told
To treat the woman I love as I would my mother or grandmother
Never got the memo on how to treat a woman who was not...

Lost In Thought
Could it be You think of me
The same way my thoughts turn to thee
Do you ponder points divine
The pleasure inside
cause I am thine
Considering the way our limbs entwine
The way I claim your touch as mine
Seeing you beautiful
On this wall
Remembering
that for you
I did truly fall
The same way my thoughts turn to thee
Do you ponder points divine
The pleasure inside
cause I am thine
Considering the way our limbs entwine
The way I claim your touch as mine
Seeing you beautiful
On this wall
Remembering
that for you

Quiet!! Or Else!!!
Violence breeds silence
Except in the violent
Sheep be quiet
Unless you're insane
The meek and the weak They only do speak
When protected by those who use means sheep disdain
Protest is good But keep this understood
Word are empty If they bring about no gain
Pen never trumps sword Unless and of course
There are more swords backing the pen's claim
There is kindness in man
But please do understand
That his pleasure counts more than your pain
What he wants he'll have At your words he will laugh
Only force of arms can...
