Poet Introduction
I am a poet and I must admit I be sniffing myself from time to time cause If I don't who else will :)

2:43 pm
my day hasn't begun
I can't count the times I have stared at these walls
Countless times I have watched commercial after commercial drift me away into a wonderland of yawns and empty pondering.
I can't see, at least not clearly
Kaleidoscope of my surroundings
Thoughts muzzled
cigarette-fumed smoke I inhale
closed curtains and sweating fingertips
as I touch the keys
Dark like the night the room I sit in
Narrator on television speaking in the background
the typing of my keys are louder
every other noise...white noise
I...

The Goodbye
She was scared
You could smell her sweat
She could hear the anger in his voice
The frozen look of agitation in his facial reactions
Scars inside bruise her
She knew she had to leave
But there was piece of her that wanted nothing more than to stay
She placed the mask of bravery on
And her heart appeared weightless of past burdens in his eyes
But her insides were flooded with sadness
Her mind was boggled with terror
His disdain of her was more than she could accept
Bag after bag put into the back of a trunk
Kids strapped in...

Nice, isn't it??
It's such a nice damn day
Don't you think
Too nice to be home
Too nice to be sitting on a couch
Too nice to be washin clothes
Way fuckin nice than watching Cable reruns
It's nice outside today
I could be doing a lot more
Than staring at twitter walls
Looking my myspace feed
Staring at facebook comments
Way fuckin nice than looking at Wendy Williams
It's a nice day out
Don't you think
Too nice to be sanitizing my bathroom
Too nice to be staring at walls
Way fuckin nicer than wishing
It's a nice day

Far Beyond
Late night staring at the stars
On the bleachers at the park
After dark
A warm swift breeze flowing off and on
Holding me close
Your chest so warm
Heart beating fast
Hands holding mine firmly
So still we sat, the breeze couldn't move us
I was cold
You place your shirt over my shoulders
And again grip tightly as if you were afraid the breeze would sweep me up
I wondered that night about many things
Could we marry
Could we lay
Could we be together...forever
Staring at the stars and visioning a future
Guess the stars weren't...

Vacancy :Said the Mind to the Soul
The mind was in a dark hole
Suddenly...Soul appeared and sat next to Mind
Placing arms around the Mind for healing and consoling
Mind: Peace is all I want. Just Peace
Soul: Is that all?
Mind: Well I would tranquillity...but it's tough...heart can't rest without nourishment...
Mind: Can someone love me ?
Soul: Yes, because I believe in love
Why come you don't
Mind: Because I have been hurt so badly. I gave so much of my heart I don't think I have one left to give. I know I have something there because I still feel it beating

Cold World
The world is cold
No one weeps for you
Pretending not to Judge
Speaking pessimistic about him and her
The world is a cold place
We all want the dream
Sure others want it fast
Others can deal with the time it's going to consume
The ones who are stuck in the middle...the struggle eats them up and spits them out
The world is cold
Not warm, not even luke warm but cold
No cable knit cardigan can block this blizzard
Fake smiles only to laugh at you later
Fake hugs only to kick you out sooner
Fake acceptance, scheduling changes in...

I hate you (recover for beyonce' song I miss You on Album titled 4)
I thought that things like this get better with time
And I see they do
Why is that? haha
I have ten thousand images in my mind
Despise seeing you...around
I hate you, most of my days
Give me my distance
I need my space
I said I hate you,hating you insane
Thinkin if I stayed single life would've been the same
Words they never seem to come out right
Never meant them...Ha take that
Never hurt my pride to tell you your a mess
A hot mess at that, why is that??
I hate you
like everyday
wanna be...

27, my age of imperfection
aged cheese with all the holes thru it
Ha I laugh in realization that this is true
I have seen many of scenes
I have came across many misfortunes
Spirals to catch all my un-glamorous trips
Writing nights until bones in my fingers ache
Speaking on things I couldn't speak to Mom or Dad about
Mom and dad had a life too
Family Photo only one I recall.
When I was young girl my friends were my parents
They were my guide to life
Sisterhood of the traveling pants
On the road of not knowing but on the dream...

PG the hood that raised me
1984 Year that I was born
In PG arms is where I layed
State where we do errverything big
Big hair, cars, and rims
Nails colors 32 flavors and some
Guys in leather shorts and fresh kicks
Girls wearing jellies and short shorts, maxi dresses
No need for injections, no matter the size you got it flaunt it
Peacock colored hair extentions
Summer time flowery exotic scents floating thru the local bazaar
Every guy takes a glimpse what your advertising
Anyone and everyone selling something
Oil perfumes 2 for a specific yet affordable price
Interior...

The potential
Like a toy with broken pieces
I am scattered
Left to be tossed away
Someone seen something I couldn't
Potential
Pick me up and put me back together
Pulled me close to their heart
Smiled and hugged me tighter
Shared their warmth with me
Loved even when I didn't
A feeling I couldn't give myself
Being cold for so long it was tough to unthaw
Shield of Ice melted down to water
Broken toy trash I was
Golden treasure I am
I am scattered
Left to be tossed away
Someone seen something I couldn't
Potential
Pick me up and put me back together
Pulled me close to their heart
Smiled and hugged me tighter
Shared their warmth with me
Loved even when I didn't
A feeling I couldn't give myself
Being cold for so long it was tough to unthaw
Shield of Ice melted down to water
Broken toy trash I was
Golden treasure I am
