My Brotha's, You Are Not Our Enemy
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are the strength of our weakness.
you are the sun behind our smile.
you are the sweetness during our bitter times.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are our warmth in a cold world.
you are our love in the midst of so much hatred.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are water during our emotional drought.
you are our leader's in darkness.
you are our solid foundation surrounded by
quicksand of insecurities.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are the mighty arms...
you are the strength of our weakness.
you are the sun behind our smile.
you are the sweetness during our bitter times.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are our warmth in a cold world.
you are our love in the midst of so much hatred.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are water during our emotional drought.
you are our leader's in darkness.
you are our solid foundation surrounded by
quicksand of insecurities.
My brotha's, you are NOT our enemy...
you are the mighty arms...

Poem by a Sideline Hoe
She’s a smooth caramel skin tone sista with big brown eyes filled with tears.
She sat alone the window pain thinking “another night and
he’s not here.
She knew that he was a married man; it started out as fun.
But as the years passed by she realized that she would never be his only one.
She wrote…
I’m sitting alone in a darken room waiting for my lover, where could he be?
He’s not with me; He’s not with me.
My passion’s raging, these feeling are strong; my sexuality is set free!
but, he’s not with me; He’s not with me.
A promised love brighten by star...

YOUR SHIRT AND TIE
I awaken from a blissful dream of you holding me and kissing
me the way you did back then.
I close my eyes hoping to re-dream that dream so I can feel you
once again.
Reality killed all desires of my momentary care when I noticed
all that was left of you… your shirt and tie; lay neatly across
the chair.
The You I feel in love with so long ago have suddenly gone away;
I miss him all the time. Truth provoked a devastating fact of a
love played only in my mind.
I can still smell your masculine scent – Polo Blue so prevalent in
our room. This morning...

ANOTHER WOMAN'S SHADOW
IT STARTED WITH A SMILE.
GREW WITH A KISS.
ENDED WITH A TEAR DROP.”
“YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES TO WHAT
YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE BUT, YOU
CAN’T CLOSE YOUR HEART TO WHAT
YOU DON’T WANT TO FEEL.”
“BEING WITH WHOM YOU SHOULDN’T
IS LIKE STANDING IN THE RAIN.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE GOING TO GET
SICK BUT IT FEELS SO GOOD.”
Another Woman’s Shadow
How can I feel secure when he says things like this?
Although he’s getting all my love, it’s her love that
he seem’s miss.
What...

Thank You
Hey baby,
I know we never had a chance to talk; I never said
what I had to say.
I always thought it was my fault that you took your
love and went away.
Thinking back on all the sacrifices I made; working
hard to give you what you need.
I loved you with my greatest love but it seemed as
though you hated me.
Over the years I stuck around hoping that you’d
see I was the one for you. But no matter how hard
I tried you were always searching for somebody new.
The times were often that I’d wondered why you
never chose me; why my...

Until Death Do Us Part
Love can bring out the best in a person
It can bring out the worse in person and
love can bring out the crazy in a person….
Until Death Do Us Part
I love you so damn much… I hate your fucking guts!
I hope you think of me every time you see your cuts!
You said you no longer loved me; what we had is through.
You hope that we could still be friends but you found
somebody new.
After all the years I held you down this is the shit
that you do? Well you can kiss the pink part of my
black ass and tell ya bitch I...

LOVE, HATE, AND PRIDE
Why do we stay after he hurt us?
Because Love won’t let us leave…
Love makes us stay; Love believes
he will change.
But after too many emotional upper
cuts, Love turns into Hate…
Hate says to get even, hurt him back!
Bring him to his knees the way he
brought us to our knees!
Make him feel what it’s like to scurry
into a dark corner in fetal position
afraid to EVER love again!
Make him cry a sea the way we cried a
river!
After rational thinking take the place of
hatred, then comes Pride…
Pride says to walk away...

Stimulate Me Baby
As I glanced around me at the men in the room
all I could see was my impending doom!
Some approached with the same tired ass line.
They stimulated my gag reflex…not my mind.
If only they knew how to get real women like
me, perhaps they would learn to approach us
differently.
You see boo, “Real Women” need “Real Talk”
excite all my senses. Show me that you’re not
just one dimension.
Stroke my mind, caress my soul. Share with me
your aspirations, tell me about your goals.
I need a man to be a man, come on boo approach
me....

Dear Mama (Orginal author Breezy)
Written by my son
When I was younger I never thought I'd leave
but, I had to get up, get out and follow my
dream.
I know it's scary to see your baby boy out
on his own. Don't worry mama I'ma make it,
you raised me to be strong!
You nurished my mind and worked on my heart,
it's your blood in my veins so not even death
could break us apart!
You disciplined me to always handle business.
I hope you're not proud of me yet mama, I'm
not even finished!
I came a long way but I got so far to go.
So I hurdle over my goals like bars set low....
