A TOMORROW
Its ok baby go ahead and cry, just know that after all the tears
there is a tomorrow.
A tomorrow when you will realize that he is not coming back.
A tomorrow when you are all cried out.
A tomorrow when, you know the feeling you get after your heart
has taken residency in the pit of your stomach and you can’t eat?
The pressure of pain is weighing on your lungs and it feels like
you can’t breath? Well, that new tomorrow will bring with it a
desire to eat and your ability to breathe again.
A tomorrow when one morning you will awaken and...
there is a tomorrow.

THIS IS HOW IT STARTS
HER
The work day is over but she doesn’t want to go
home yet she opts for happy hour at the bar.
She walks in, a strange man grin…
And this is how it starts.
He buys her a drink to loosen her up she tells him
her relationship has lost its spark.
He understands, buys her a few more drinks…
And this is how it starts.
He offer his cell phone number if she should ever need
A friend he says “maybe we can meet at a park.”
She blushes as she accept his number with a promise
to call soon…
And this is how it starts.

A letter from Love to a woman named Lonely
Love wrote a letter to a woman named Lonely that was
broken down like this:
Dear Ms Lonely,
I received your letter, your heart I never missed.
In your letter you listed the type of man for you.
The quality of man you’re searching for is out there
searching too.
For a woman of charm and self value with a beauty
through and through.
It’s ok if she has baggage because he has baggage too.
A strong minded woman who understand a man is
all he be.
Who can love him through all the times the...

A Woman Named Lonely
A WOMAN NAMED LONELY
Once upon a time there was a woman named Lonely.
Exciting, intelligent and beautiful! Seeking to love a man wholly.
One day she wrote a letter to Love It read something like this…
Dear Love,
I hear you’re choosing randomly but, why my heart you miss?
I’m seeking a man tall, handsome, responsible, employed.
Who is seeking a good woman to fill a heart that’s void.
A man who loves music, he should also love art, a strong religious
background and thinks with his heart. A man who loves his mother
with NO exceptions! You see? If...

Before You Label Me A Bitter Bitch...
Before you label me a bitter bitch...
understand what brought me to this point.
Feel my pain after so many heartbreaks!
learn of my disappointments after giving
my all!
Taste my hatred after being fed so many
Fuckin lies!
Before you label me a bitter bitch...
Experience my fatigue after fighting so
damn hard!
Witness my struggle to rise from so many
let downs.
Walk a mile in my heels you will see, I'm
not a bitter bitch...
I'M A WOMAN FED UP!
understand what brought me to this point.
Feel my pain after so many heartbreaks!

Grits, Pennies, and Bacon Grease
5am: I wake up to find that you’re still gone.
6:30am: you’re a no show, you let the sun
beat you home!
7:15am: anger has replaced the fear that something
has happened to you.
I told ya black ass the next time you stayed out all
night what I would do!
8am: I’m in the kitchen when you try to sneak in.
Words spilled from your mouth like diarrhea trying to
explaining where you been!
8:10am: I say “Wow Boo that’s crazy! I bet you’re
hungry after a tough night on the street.

I Anticipate
I anticipate, the greatest love of my life!
an emotional high, so high that it levitates beyond
the heavens.
I anticipate, love out of control! A love that will
shake my very soul... it's my craving.
I anticipate, the kind of love you may not understand if
never experienced love within my anticipated capacity.
I anticipate, pain of a great magnitude because of love
of a great magnitude. The kind of pain you read about
in books, you see on TV or in movies.
I anticipate, the kind of pain that songs are written
about with lyrics the lonely cry...
an emotional high, so high that it levitates beyond
the heavens.
I anticipate, love out of control! A love that will
shake my very soul... it's my craving.
I anticipate, the kind of love you may not understand if

One Wish
In a World filled with lies, deceit, infidelity, adultry, hatred, broken promises, lonely nights and hopes deferred it does my heart good to see couples who have been together for YEARS still loving each other as if it were a new love.
If I had only one wish it would be that husbands love there wives with a committed heart; or, wives love and respect your husbands as the men in you lives; or maybe, people have compassion for society show consideration to a stranger; or perhaps, villages work together to raise a child. When the heart is filled with these attributes productivity is...

Proud Child: a Ghetto Rose
Proud Child (a Ghetto Rose)
Proud child, proud child what make you

You live in the ghetto, your momma’s a hoe

He loves me, love me knot
He loves me, he loves me not!
The flowers, the candy, the black eye, the knot.
The lovely things that he says, the foul shit
that he do. The, I love you so much baby.
To bitch I hate you!
His boyish looks, his menacing glare, his
luscious lips, his icy stare.
The things that he bought me, the clothes that
He slashed, the way that he protects me, my
three-inch head gash.
The kisses of sorrow, the forgive me I’m weak.
The promise to kill me was one that he’d keep.
The cycle continued, help I did not seek.
His hand got too heavy and now… I...
