4/2/00.....
I remember this date well...
This is the day I came home from work
at 7:30 in the evening,and found my daughter
crying...alone in her room
This is the day that changed our lives forever.
she wouldnt tell me what was wrong...
yet she cried like she was dying...
She tried to speak but no words came...
then my stomache began to burn....call it
a mother's intuition
because I knew...as I turned around and looked
at my then boyfriend....as he half hid outside her
bedroom door...I knew...
He had hurt my...

Thief...
Stop!!! Thief!!!
As I run out into the middle of the street
with only a nightgown on...and no shoes on my feet
See, I just woke up from a 20 year dream
now things in my life are not what they seem
someone stole my vibrance ...someone stole
my youth...I dont know who they were but I do have proof
Somehow...I was hit with a sneak attack
As I cry to the sky...I just want my shit back!
Stop! Thief!...Did anyone see where they went
for my heart has been robbed...and my love has been spent
I only dozed off for a little while
and in that...

Just For Tonight
Just For Tonight...
Melt me down,and pour me out
till Im spread like butter
on bread...all over you.
Change my somber mood to a diffrent hue
Make me Magenta instead of Midnight Blue
Just for Tonight...
Make everything wrong... right
as you lick and squeeze me tight
yes...I like teeth marks on my thighs
let me get lost inside our mingled
passionate cries...
Just For tonight...
I wanna act like Im everything you ever wanted
and I promise to turn down the lights so you wont
see how my eyes are haunted...
Haunted by my past...with...

Were It Not....
Were It Not...
for this physical prison,of flesh and bone
skin and sinews...I would be able to unzip
my soul and fly into the vortex of pure feelings
bounce of the vertebrae of God,then be catapulted
into the top of the universe...then swandive back
into our atmosphere...
minus all my pain...devoid of fear.
Were It Not
for the deafening rage that builds inside me...
threatning to explode in my soul causing my
essence to implode leaving me stuck in the void
of always looking behind me...I might be able to find
the key to the doors where...

Why?
Days have passed now....
with thoughts as searing as
looking into the eye of a supernova...
As I sit contemplating....as
My angst
is esculating....into a sea of worried
ponderings....
Why...am I here?
Why...is there seemingly no Love for me
Why... does everything seem to hurt ...
So badly that my insides ache with the
weight of my anxiety?
As I wake from dreams...where I am
Displaced and discombobulated...feeling
alien in my own skin...uncomfortable
with the ebb and flow of blood thru
my own veins....
As I strain to...

Love Infinity
Its been a longtime
since me and my soul had some alone time
or had some grown time
to figure this shit out
on my own time
Now..
Im sure and true
that Im living proof
that you can still survive
no matter what your soul
has been thru.
After numerous times of playin the fool
loosin my mind and loosin my cool
wakin up some nights
I got no sleep
over things Id done
and promises I didnt keep
Trippin...steady trippin
as my mind kept slippin
Into my future
as I looked back at myself and said ...

Roots & Weeds
I ...want to get down
to the Nappy Roots of my soul
where my spirit is free
and my soul is homegrown
Like fresh tomatoes off the vine
no hurry .... no rush....
just takin my own good time
to be ....exactly who and what
I was made to be
whatever that is...
A writer
A singer
OR a divorced sistah with 4 kids....
I...
just wanna get down to the Nappy Roots of my soul
and let my roots hang ALL the way out
exposing my shadow beliefs and doubts
So I can make room for the planting of good seeds
Way down deep in the rich soil of...

3 AM Contemplation
Quietly...I stare into the darkness of my room
watching shadows dance across my ceiling...almost
seeming to solidify before my eyes.
As my thoughts take me astrally to places...Id rather not be
but go to anyway....because I am a creature of habit
As with most habits ....I know I should learn to take
a new path...but the shoes of my soul have grown comfortable
with the roads I travel.
this is why I am awake at 3:26 AM as I walk my usual path
down "memory lane" and cross over to "but what if" avenue
only to make a sharp left turn onto "regret"...

Im Tired
Right now....
it feels like im loosin it
see... none of the pieces to my puzzle fits
As My jaw is set hard.. and my teeth grit
Inside Im thinkin..."damn Im tired of this shit"
As I scramble to the edge of my mind
requesting it to back away from the edge
for the millionth time
Im tired of trying to save myself
from the cruelhandedness of others
Im tired of squandered friendships
and lyin ass lovers...
Im tired of ungrateful kids...
and Bosses that underappreciate
Im tired of this damn diet im on
WHO REALLY GIVES A SHIT...

Against The Wall
I
need you to take me
by force...at least
ACT like I dont have a choice
come on baby...lets roll play today
Tickle my fancy until I get moist
I
need you to wrap your fingers around my locks
and pull my head close to you..then whisper
in my ear all the things you wanna do to me
Thats right...remember when I asked you
If you trust me...
Yes ...just ....like...that
Now I feel the cool of the kitchen wall against my back
as you have one arm twisted behind me
as your member grows...and you moan ever so slightly
I whisper back into...

To Vanish
With you
I want to vanish
inside the fine lines
of fantasy and desire
to become your prototype
for every fantasy you have ever had
I want To Vanish
inside the folds of your breathe
as you kiss me into a lucid dream
that awakens even the passion of
Venus herself...that she might
come down...and listen to the
beautiful music we make.
With you
I want To Vanish
against the heat of your skin
as we blend and mesh and become
One body...One soul... One flesh
Powerless against each other...yet
So powerful together as we birth...
I want to vanish

to become your prototype
for every fantasy you have ever had
