Straight Talk Live (Me, Myself, And I)
Intellect have always been a friend, a sorceress of my mind
I would say I am a pretty great judgment of character and an extraordinaire when it cums to my soft sublime
Neven been on the scavenge to hunt, I am the beautiful sacred curiosity of the tease
I can make the tenderest love to your mind, poetically whisper in your ear, submerging it intellectually until you become the mingled words I taste on the tip of my tongue as my heart shall appease

Sacred Whispers To Archangel Michael... (An Earth Angel)
Green pasture as thy comfort the French Creole Angel’s scepter of me
As you can feel, touch, see
And will come to believe
And that’s just a grand fact
My halo, my mystique of my human spirit, Heaven’s compassion given of this Earth Angel laying, or resting on my back
Welcome to the comfort of my wings
As an Earthbound Angel passionately whispers when she sings
Selah
As you can feel, touch, see
And will come to believe
And that’s just a grand fact
My halo, my mystique of my human spirit, Heaven’s compassion given of this Earth Angel laying, or resting on my back
Welcome to the comfort of my wings
As an Earthbound Angel passionately whispers when she sings

Me...
Labored breaths of just you and I
Allow me to absorb you
The soft touches of reflexology’s tantalizations branding his skin
Oh, my love, let the curl of my tongue’s soothing bliss
Journey over the soles of his feet
Taking pleasure between the spaces of his toes
Aimlessly wandering up his inner thighs
Tenderly arousing all his sensitive peaks
His erroneous zone weakening for the overtaking
Let me blindfold you, and watch you get stimulated, by anticipation, by sight unseen
Mm... oh yes, those coaxing...
Allow me to absorb you

Oh, my love, let the curl of my tongue’s soothing bliss

By Any Means Necessary (Happy Birthday Martin Luther King, Jr.)
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Mama, I know why the caged bird really sings
When the mind as an offering hears sovereignty echoed from the mountains let it ring
From the cradle of birth is to give authority to our mental dreams
Our deferred aspirations we seek to the highest of our esteem
How can I learn to fly when my heart cannot even walk
Animosity, resentment is always found in wagging tongues who doesn’t know how to intellectually talk...

Perspectives in Freedom
What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend,
it ceases to exist."
- Salman Rushdie
"Speak, or be unheard,
open your mind or be confined.
You have so much to say
don't let self doubt take it away.
Open minds and hearts are listening
and they can affirm what is humanity
expressing and being itself in you
opinions aren't right or wrong, just unique;
it is bravery in action to shout in your
true voice as a lion would roar
and a fearless voice is a blessing
even in the...

Dreams That Matter
Love costs all we are and will ever be,,
yet it is only love which sets us free'
-Maya Angelou
I still got faith in some new day,
Lawd, don't take my hopes away.
If rings and curls and pink on little girls
make fierce boys scare them into whirls,
let us stay all laughing, all the same,
we and they are all the same.
Us, we're no better than the next big thing;
a song that's all the same, we sing.
Unsilenced, our exuberant song
of hope that tomorrow will be as bright
as today, or...
yet it is only love which sets us free'

That Place
History, despite its wrenching pain cannot be unlived,
but if faced with courage need not be lived again.”
― Maya Angelou
I took a giant step backwards today
into my past, I thought I had left it behind.
I remembered the sting, the smart of rejection,
of hatred, of shame;
I heard it calling my name
in my dead ascendants voice,
calling from far away,
calling me back to pain
of dying in agony.
The pain I hid from,
never wanted to feel again,
I was brought...
but if faced with courage need not be lived again.”

Slick Quick
You I'll never fall in love with a smile
My test not just another day
I belong the love I guess
Hand promise me we'll have a chance son, don't follow
Gone and I go on I can't leave 'em
I know the rest of my time
Bet is to look me in your eyes
Live my life completely you got my lady, don't call
Meant to be slick quick when he a-a-ask
Many times I recall a night gown trim in lace
Cause the tears how she had a tryout
Time cause other wise
Why baby why would you be working she'll probably stop
At this game when it...

Still I Rise (After Maya Angelou)
My queen, your whole body has been draped in diamonds
Because you are like the main prize and a jewel. Men and
Women alike are worshiping the ground you are walking
On because you are drawing attention, not for the money
You have or for fame you want or because you are a lion
At the head of the pack, but because you will always stand
On a solid footing with a permanent smile. You are talking
As if you are made from the essentials of gold and honey.
You do not need anyone telling you that you have power
Within you to stand up to the rest of...

Still I Rise (Still The Pen Glides)
When I wake in the morning,
ain’t never surprised,
I got no time for cryin’
so still the pen glides.
How, they would wonder
could I ever have arrived
when grief falls around me
as dust on their winds of doubt rise?
That I could have much of anything to say
in wake of all I’ve survived,
that I would have not become a slave
to all my years for which dashed hopes
I only strived?
I lift a pen, I lift my voice
and so amplify words,
into a megaphone did I...
