Poet Introduction
Just an average dude expressing my views.
The Connoisseur
Caramel, tapioca, cinnamon and butter pecan
Mocha, milk chocolate and dark chocolate too
An array of delicious flavors of the black woman
So good they'll make you want a double scoop
Like a Baskin & Robbins or Cold Stone connoisseur
You're going to want a taste of each & every flavor
Resulting in a sweet tooth more insatiable than before
Making you request to have a doggy bag for later
But no matter how much of them you consume
It'll never ever be enough to sooth your appetite
So the only logical solution for you to...

My Seductive Empress
Allow me to dance with your spirit and make love to your mind
Getting to know you in depth long before hitting it from behind
Our lovemaking sessions will be cosmic as if we've left this Earth
On a galactic voyage amongst the solar systems of the universe
My rocket is fully fueled and very prepared to begin our sensual trip
Ignited and excited just from the mere sight of your plump glossy lips
You're such a seductive empress and I'm impressed by your total being
A Goddess that's so enchanting to me that I can't believe what I'm seeing

Retail Therapy
Retail therapy can become a very detrimental thing
By consuming items for the short joy that they bring
As with any vice, we've got to have some moderation
To avoid putting ourselves into a much worse situation
Consumerism can easily progress to becoming an addiction
Causing one to lose sight of their financial goals & their visions
And, if not careful, can put us even further into a debtor's prison
With a sentence in which we'll endure an extremely painful lesson
Emotional stability and self discipline at times are hard to maintain ...

Black Girl Magic
Your beauty is so astonishing that I'm in awe of you
Not just your exterior features but your intellect too
With an aura so entrancing that I gravitate to be nearer
To your hypnotic essence and angelic voice that I hear
Each word that you speak is like a sweet melody to me
Even reciting simple numbers such as counting to three
That melanin is popping and you have a gorgeous glow
Your black girl magic is putting on an unforgettable show
The price of admission is worth every single dime
I'll trick for you to be a treat that's exclusively mine

Ode To My Granny
Two thousand and fourteen will forever be one of my worst years
My granny passed away and things spiraled downward from there
She would've been eighty years old today because it's her birthday
It's been almost four years but I still haven't returned to her grave
Instead, her name is tatted on my left pec right above my ailing heart
So that, even though she isn't physically here, we're never ever apart
I yearn for her presence and I wholeheartedly miss her dearly
Every second of every hour of every day of every month and yearly
She was like a mother,...

Smell The Roses
Love and cherish those near and dear to your heart
Present them the flowers while they can smell them
Man knows not when any of us will permanently depart
So don't take for granted any of your priceless gems
They'll come a day where you can only see them in pics
Because they've been irretrievably laid to rest in a casket
A heartbreaking lost that can make you inconsolably sick
And the tormenting grief can seem like it's everlasting
It's said that time eventually heals all of our wounds
That may be true for all the physical but not the mental ...

Coming Attractions
When you don't appreciate something
It will eventually be taken from you
The value of words are looked at as cheap
So sometimes you have to show people
When you just repetitively speak
Some will think that you're playing
Then you have to hit them with a shock
To defibrillate their unconscious brain
Many need that awakening to comprehend
That they are fortunate and have it good
By consciously pulling away from them
In order for your message to be understood
People will take, take, and take some more
Until there isn't...

Grandmaster of Lovemaking
A noble King with an harem of gorgeous concubines
They all know that they can't have him and that is fine
Sexual satisfaction is all that they are requiring of him
In our modern times most would refer to him as a pimp
Not in the sense of exploiting women for financial gain
More like a charismatic Casanova with hellafied game
They love providing this Oba with his own private showing
Getting as freaky as they want to without anyone knowing
He's a grandmaster in the sensual art of passionate lovemaking
And isn't satisfied unless you're...

Never Bite A Generous Hand
Never bite the hand that generously feeds you
Because you'll become malnourished or starve
That's sound advice so you should always
Think twice before you cut off your reliable arm
If that hand attached to that arm can't take the pain
It may just have to retract itself and let you go
Then you'll be in a free fall decent of which
Could've been prevented if you'd listened before
Being inconsiderate and selfish causes one to
Lose out on an abundance of blessings
Some seem to have a difficult time discerning this
So they have to be taught...

Propagandist Media
Propagandist media is the most powerful weapon of the powers that be
They're arguably more far reaching and destructive than the U.S. Army
Most of society would prefer to channel surf than to pick up a book
Being subliminally programmed by all the shows of which they look
Life's a continuous battlefield and we must prepare for all of the wars
The physical ones that we can see and the psychological ones even more
Society seems to only be influenced by money and violence, no denying it
Malcolm X told us this when he stated that we must use the ballot or the...

Dirty Pigs
I'm not an endorsing fan of spam, ham or crooked policemen
Pork from the start has been bad for the heart of many of men
Leviticus teaches us that they're unclean and not to be consumed
And that partaking of their abominable flesh is defiling all of you
Some still choose to be their die hard advocates irregardless of this
Snakes in the grass that kiss their ass will most definitely hiss at this
So keep your lawn immaculately landscaped so they can't hide their faces
Then keep your third eye focused so you can notice which ones are racist
Mark, on the...

Heartbroken
I awake every glorious morning to a framed pic of you and I
Sometimes the mere image of you brings tears to my eyes
From the sadness this man gets when reflecting on our good times
Your love, understanding and encouragement is on what I used to rely
Carrying on has been one hell of a struggle cause of how much I love you
I miss you so much and I would give anything to see and be able to hug you
Your demise ripped me apart inside and there's been buckets of tears I've cried
I'm a man with pride but I can't even lie about how terribly that I'm hurting inside ...
