Give Me what I need
I wanna Do...
Tongue Dances
that bring on sexual trances
that call the moisture outta the sky
and places it...between my thighs
As Music is made with soft cries
and sighs...just by the thought
of this... I want your temperature
to rise....and rise...and rise
Until...
we burst into flames as we
whisper each others names
and devour each other with
No Shame....
We need this...
No more small sips
Of Bliss.
I want to drink a full cup
I need your loving to
Fill me up...
Till I'm...

The Darkness & The Night
In Between....
The Darkness... and the night...
I can see clearly... as If it were Daylight
NO Mask to be worn in this Midnight Hour...
When the Lies fall away...
The Truth holds more Power
I've seen...The Shadow People....
When They come out to Mingle
Intertwined with the lining of our minds...
When they speak...
My Spine Tingles.....
I sometimes sit in my neighborhood cemetery...
In the still and quiet of the night...
When the living are all in bed...
The dead...stay in my sights.
I see Spirits all...
The Darkness... and the night...
I can see clearly... as If it were Daylight
NO Mask to be worn in this Midnight Hour...
When the Lies fall away...
The Truth holds more Power
I've seen...The Shadow People....
When They come out to Mingle
Intertwined with the lining of our minds...
When they speak...
My Spine Tingles.....
I sometimes sit in my neighborhood cemetery...
In the still and quiet of the night...
When the living are all in bed...
The dead...stay in my sights.
I see Spirits all...

3AM Hour
And...
The Soul Of Me
Is awake at the 3 Am Hour...
My Body is what needs the rest
But... My Soul
Feels Sublimely Midnight Powered
Powered By My thoughts, My dreams
and angst...
As I decided and ponder what it is that
I am for...and what things am I against.
As The very Spirit of me ...
Pulls back my Souls Layers...
I see that half of me is written in curses
and the other half ... is written in prayers
As I feel Like an Alien Visitor
Sometimes I feel more Sinister
Than Baptist Ministers.....Holding a Collection...

Lately....Raw Thoughts collection
Lately ...
Ive been feeling like a culmination
Of action words ...and verbs with
sharp corners and few curves ...
Lately...
So much Shit has been gettin on my nerves
SO I swerve....
Just to stay in my lane
regardless of the bull
regardless of the pain...
Sometimes things get so deep
I struggle just to remain
Intact...Because life its not exact...
You keep on adding
and Life subtracts...Leaving me with
a Fraction of my mind...
and before I get shit fixed
Well I run out of time

The Broken...
i]Rejoice...
For The Broken...
are the More Evolved...
The Horde Split[i]
I speak...
In heated conversation with
The Broken pieces of me...
No more bleeding soul as
I pick up the sharp shards of me
laying at my Spirits feet.
Each shard ...has a different opinion.
A different perspective of pain...
The Root of me is at the center of this storm
As All My pieces scream LET IT RAIN...
Let it fall ...let it fall... till all my trapped
parts are free...
Tired of...

Next Lifetime
We will be together in the next lifetime
when we are both cats" vanilla Sky
Gone...
That energy...
That I once thought I had
deep inside of me
Guiding me...
Whispering to my soul...
No warmth... the atmosphere
Is Silent now....
The Heat Trail.... Has run Cold
Gone...
Is my Soulmates Energy...
No Longer do I feel him near me
Don't think he will reach me anytime soon
I can tell... cause there was a gray mist over the last full moon
Then I woke.... in the early hours of the Morning.... ...

My Soul Feels
Like rain falling off of tin roofs
pooling at the foot of rainbows...
My soul feels....
Like... Liquid Sunshine... Vibrating
through the Darkshine... that covers
My eyes...Soul feels like
Fine wine... fluid and savory
Sweet and sublime...
Like slow sippin.. I wanna take my time
My Soul Feels Like...
The essence of Life flowing thru me
Look what Light has done to me...
No more sadness no more blue me
My Soul Feels like Love... Truly
pooling at the foot of rainbows...
My soul feels....

Composite Thoughts & Memories
There was nothing that stood out about her...
As I recall now...As Memories go...
Yet there was something...Perhaps the way she smiled
Or the way ... she let just a little leg show...as she sat
At the table across from me...
So Strange ...its almost as if it were a dream...
Most things surrounding that day are a blurr
Everything... Except...My pain....and Her
I had left him finally...
after 4 black eyes 2 crushed ribs
and damaged vocal chords from
being yoked up by my throat 1 too many times...
I ... had...

It Has Begun
Hot Damn...
Who left the gate open....
somebody wasn't on their post
which usually ends up in slit throats...
He's Out... and He ..is Slicker than Most
I should Know... I used to be his Physical Host
As he walked around my body like his playground
He loved the taste of Mortal Sin...
Because of Him My Wings got singed ...burned
Till I was an Angel No More...
Who Let this Mutha fucker loose
As He Kicked down Pandora's Door...
I felt him... even before I knew he had returned...
I knew because my Sankofa...

Warrior Queens Lament
I...
Rise...
with residue of last night's dreams
and ... tears in my eyes.
Fighting off feelings of the mundane
SSDD till I barely remember my name...
As my alter ego...beats on the doors of my soul
asking when can she come out to play...
I must...keep that bitch contained..
Her enjoyments border on the insane...
And I.... dont have time for that shit today.
Speaking Positive words to my weary soul
as best a Queen can...Sometimes the pain I feel
I think only a Lonely King would understand...
Yet the...

When I Danced....
I ...
Close my eyes ...
and I can remember when I danced...
with The Devil... in the Pale Moon's Light
Offered up my soul...like sweets...
and let Him Take a Bite....
In an instant...
Everything I ever thought was wrong...
He... made it ALL right...
As we Danced to His Forbidden Song
He Loved me like a Savage...
Raw ... Hard... and Long...
Straight.... No Chaser
He .... Claimed Me
Then He Renamed Me...
and I was...Zela... the Supa Freaky Empath Feela
He taught me the Taste Of Sin... It drove me wild
and He ...

I NEED
I Need...
To feel alive again...
feeling tongues over flesh again...
learning what language you're written in
I need to feel the Flames Lick away my Mortal Sin...
I Need...
Some Love...
The Kind No Body can Judge...
I need the kinda Love...
I can
dip in hot fudge...
and...get full off of...
I ... Just need Love...
The kind that never fades away...
that keeps me awake at night...
and makes me Day dream all day...
That's what I need.... ya know what I mean...
I need the Kinda Love... that reads between...
