Burden
You're the load upon my back.
The thoughtless rider with a heavy fully loaded pack.
You're the obligation that nags oppressively.
The encumbrance of all things crippled, finding the simplest of things to be laced with difficulty.
You're the child suckling at his mothers breast.
Overly nourished, consuming without rest.
And this burden I possess
because of you gives me such stress
that my body is a mess
and there's pains in my chest.
Hard to breath, I've been yoked
like a dumb animal. You choke
me and abuse me, then make me carry your loads....

Her Ex
I want my best friends ex.
Its that wrong?
To want what she neglected,
Left broken and foregone?
I want what he gave her.
Can I have his wasted love?
She greedily took all he gave.
Brushed off his affections with a shove.
I want him to caresses me,
The way they use to touch.
I'll remedy his aching heart.
Stand firm and be his crutch.
I know what a man needs.
I know how to treat him.
Touch and kiss and care,
I know how please him.
I promise I'll make all his pains go away,
If only he'd take me next.
Is it wrong to feel...
Its that wrong?
To want what she neglected,
Left broken and foregone?
I want what he gave her.
Can I have his wasted love?

Brushed off his affections with a shove.
I want him to caresses me,
The way they use to touch.
I'll remedy his aching heart.
Stand firm and be his crutch.
I know what a man needs.
I know how to treat him.
Touch and kiss and care,
I know how please him.

Stereotype
What does it mean to be a strong, proud, black woman?
I've given this a lot of thought, and I'm here to tell you now
its not always what you've been taught.
Generally you have to be dark, milk chocolate, ebony brown skin.
Natural hair, spit out history, absent of any physical flaws or sin.
Some people call it being a "bad bitch", "tough chick",
always staring challenges in the face.
Holding the symbol of the mother country on her shoulders like
she was fresh bread from the African race.
Her voice loud, made to be heard.
Out spoken...

Let me get to know you
I just wanna get to know you. Not playing
games. We could just chill underneath
the stars, it's all the same
to me. I just wanna get to know
you. Not the one you put up as a show
but the one I saw when we first met.
When can I get
a chance to finally know you?
Stop hiding from me.
I can take it trust,
I don't break easily.
When can I get to know you? Your soft
and rougher side.
Unlock your caged heart, let me revive
it. Let me get to know you.

Turn On...
My skin feels like a blanket of heat
I want to claw my way out if it.
Tiny rivulets of sweat race along the skin of my spine
Stopping at the curve above my backside..
Why are you doing this to me
When you know you can save me from this fire?
Are you happy with what you see
My suffering brings you desire?
You dark, evil, sadistic fiend
Sitting quiet as I wallow and ache.
My body longing for your oh so cool touch
A breeze that makes me tremble and shake
The memory of your ice cold kisses
How easy it was to turn you on.

simply happy
Lying here at the top of the playground
Listening to the voice of my son and friend
Playing. I close my eyes and smile, enjoying the sound
And the wind as it blows, cooling my skin.

Memoirs to Xavier...
Any woman could survive off of you,
You're food for the body as well as the heart.
You pleasure, please, teach, and inspire,
I don't know where to start.
I know I'm still getting to know you,
Somethings things are still unknown to me.
But I know the basics of your heart,
And I see how your soul shines brightly.
I know anyone can obtain God's light,
But my experiences has caused mine to grow dim.
One bulb after the next,
I'm starting to run out of them...
I know I must claim it to obtain it,
But I've built up...

You ain't seen nothing yet
God is still working on my marvelous testimony, I ain't seen nothing yet!
If I've gotten this far letting him order my footsteps, Lord knows how much further I could get!
I've seen my share of cross roads, and I've failed a few test. But His power is so strong y'all and
I still ain't seen thing yet!!
The Bible says "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
But sometimes I let the devil shame me and the praise and thanks just wont come out...
You know what MY God did? He reached deep down in and opened my heart that...

Pandora's box
How did I get here, where I am now?
Sometimes I wonder if I've lost myself somehow.
Sidetracking form that once independent mind..
That strong willed non stereotypical black woman who stood her ground with firm feet and a fortified spine.
Poetry was my fist, and I whooped ass daily.
I gave constant praises to the Most High for he never betrays me.
Life was simple in a box, kept closed to contain me.
I didn't want to be Pandora but its open and it's shamed me.
Now life outside this box is crazy and hard to tell
Angles from demons, life's not...

Giving birth to Sin
I'm the deep dark secret that you try so desperately to hide,
That tinny little voice that you ignore from down inside.
You hear me calling to you, my voice full of appeal,
Give in to me completely and I will become very real.
I will make all your dreams and fantasies come true,
I'll deliver you your hearts desire.
All the world will lust after you,
What ever you want you can acquire.
You walk around so high and mighty.
Your nails trimmed neat,
Your clothes always tidy.
You listen and do what ever your told.
Your attitude in check,...

(sigh) We’ve been through this again and again
And yes my answer is still the same.
Where were all your concerns on those hot sweaty nights
When you were grunting and groaning my name?
I’m sorry, that was juvenile
But can we please talk about this?
I understand this situation is complicated
Taking our relationship public is a really big risk.
You’re a strong, proud, successful man
Never starting anything that you cannot finish.
You’ve established and image that demands respect
I can see how I would be its only blemish.
But I don’t...
