POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
~ Breathe Deep, then proceed to yell at the top of your lungs~
Linger
Though I can not pin point when I first felt your presence
I know you're there
I can feel you
Eyes shut exhausted from a days duties
The only time you expose yourself
Presence felt so immensely
That I jerk and jolt while asleep
Unable to speak the words
My whole being is mute
I quite wouldn't expect one to understand but.. maybe just .. Maybe one may
Waking to find myself brought to tears
Just give me peace
Yet; Just explain to me
Why you linger
I know you're there
I can feel you
Eyes shut exhausted from a days duties
The only time you expose yourself
Presence felt so immensely
That I jerk and jolt while asleep
Unable to speak the words
My whole being is mute
I quite wouldn't expect one to understand but.. maybe just .. Maybe one may
Waking to find myself brought to tears
Just give me peace
Yet; Just explain to me
Why you linger

Deepest
He can no longer reach my soul
For the simple fact that he resides there
Let his hair down and roared there
And caters to the whims present
Presence, So Firm and Rooted
In my mind, body and spirit
He speaks and I
Levitate
Levitate
Levitate
I no longer need feet
He no longer needs eyes
Nor anything for that matter
Except You and Eye
For the simple fact that he resides there
Let his hair down and roared there
And caters to the whims present
Presence, So Firm and Rooted
In my mind, body and spirit
He speaks and I
Levitate

Levitate
I no longer need feet
He no longer needs eyes
Nor anything for that matter

Beginning to Fall
Short and Simple
Not drawn out
Shortness is ideal for simplicity
You
Turn red hues blue
Intellectually are powerful
You
Elevate my mind
At any given hour
I yearn for understanding and knowledge because of you
Eyes remain full of light
Promises remain captivating and true
I've found something so spectacular in you
We're dancing around
A dip of orange from me
To stroke your greys
Boldly not afraid
My white sheet
Has slowly
Began to fall
.....
I won't bother catching it either

Abstract
Is the grass green because it is
Or because someone taught us that
The sky is blue
But, who says that shade is not another
These labels where do they come from
Does it really make sense to just go along with the flow
When shall we interpret things in our manner
Giving way to our limited imaginations
So they can expand
And elaborate on more than what we merely see
Since there is more to the eye
Than what crosses it momentarily
Let this resonate
It's deeper than what you'll read

BLACK
B.L.A.C.K
Built to
Live
And
Corageously
Kick
Ass,
I am more than mine,
Bearing wide hips and thick thighs from my blood line and genes
We're all tighter than the jeans some wear
I rock my natural hair,
And it takes on many forms,
See I am black,
We bare grace from the Mother land
A Queen, tasteful and full of love
But do not get that shit twisted and disrespect me, mine or my culture
My brown skin exudes grace and wisdom
I love the history behind us
The fight in us
The constant rise in us
No hate in my...

Truths
Your voice holds a different tone when I speak to you
Your heartbeat slightly elevates
You smile bigger
Eyes open a bit wider
You sing
And even off key it's the most beautiful sound to I've heard
You are more gentle to others
Showing them your kind heart and soul
Forgiving
And I know that is not your strong suit
But I acknowledge you
I felt you touch me and with eyes closed the other night
I heard you praying
You give your all to our family
And support the dreams I have
You are an amazing father and guide
You are more patient...

Taler
First my darling let me say
I could not imagine a world without you
Since the day I heard your heartbeat and felt you move; You brung life into me
You are nothing short of a miracle
Bearing my eyes and my demeanor
I fall in love with you each and every day
When you hold me and kiss me
Tears fill my eyes with joy and sheer thrill
At the fact that I did something so right
God deemed me to be your mother
You are my world
You are my weakness
I will forever guide, protect, and love you endlessly
I promise to always give until your cup...

Roots
Stepping out of the shower
Cascading water dripping from my head
Coiled tightly
It makes me smile
My reflection staring at me reveals
A coily frizzy untamed low luster
Mane
I own it
It's mine
Sometimes it takes me hours to comb through
Detangle
Moisturize and get this thing right
But the work never goes in vain
Everyday I am learning different methods
To appreciate my mane
Jet black in color
Wild as ever
Natural hair
You're one of the best choices I've made
Cascading water dripping from my head
Coiled tightly
It makes me smile

We Need You
Now let me make this disclaimer before I dive in.. I am in no way forcing religious beliefs, I am simply stating MY feelings on the subject. .
If there was a time and place indeed I'd say we need you now
Right now
For hope, For blessings bestowed for strength and mercy
Healing and favor if I may humbly add
Grace and may it be in abundance
We need you
To learn how to love one another
Support one another and not tear down eachother
What we've become I just don't understand
Some days do you look upon us and feel like what have I created
We...

Him
Classically tailored
Wise in his years
Suited with the right sweetest nothing's to override every fear
Backing with Gods touch and ability to pray for me and with me
How I love him
How I crave to learn to love him in so many different ways so I study .. and will continue to do so
Because no other can compare
I'm in love
Been in love
Falling every day deeper
My husband you are
My summertime bliss
My afternoon delight
My food when I'm hungry
My knowledge when I'm eager to learn
My temple to glide, slide, caress and spill into...

Depth
Physically my mind aches
My heart and my soul
From this turmoil of give leaving me empty
Isolation sinking in
Sun giving way to darkness too soon
Too soon
Where am I
Amongst a porcelain tub
Sinking in my subtle conscious
Fingers sinking in my wetter being
Just needing to hold me in too many places at once
I cradle and rock head down wanting to submerge in this small tantric sea
See birthdays don't even bring the same joy to me
So I sit here and sip on my day ..
Prisoner of my own mind with keys I hold but
Don't understand how...
