untitled

I sit I think I sit I embrace....thoughts running back and forth no ends- outs- ups- downs
I'm n the middle. I am in between the between but haven't figured out the puzzle or did I.

I sit I think I sit I reply.... thoughts running how I battle pen to paper and write my inner most in stone. Spelled with the true kiss of death brings my resurrection in between lines... I'm moving through the struggle.

I sit I think I sit I move.... thoughts running faster than me I had to pull them back slow it down - give it a set of rules- give it an ultimatum-make it thirst for a chance of freedom.. It ain't ready...

I sit I think I sit release thought and images pour out my tears- I create new streams- new water parks new oceans quenching millions my pain becomes the true blessing- not afraid to raise the waters- I dive in it. Bringing my weary soul - body back to shore.

I sit I think I sit I count... the days or the blessings the time or the moments the hours or the memories the people or the insanity the wins or loses the opportunities or the times I missed out.

One Love

tonelove

Today, every day, we celebrate one love
Caramelized by raw attraction, fire that cannot
Be duplicated, recreated, labeled by strange spirits
Who know nothing of what we share
One love…is always…there

Not found in remote reflections of saintly martyrs
Made up, said, written down as dying for whatever
Small white cupid dolls and mass marketed
Greeting cards tell, marriage papers can’t bear
It’s always there

Where my baked brown skin
Lights up his day,
Captivates, seduces by night
Deep, dark intellect sheltered from sight
So what? You can’t control it?
Don’t mean it ain’t right
Look, see it, grab, reach it, we goin’ somewhere
One love…is always…there

Where kinks in my hair meet
Bulging bones in his back
Where I rest weary arms
His legs pick up the slack
Where blue blood in his veins
Whet the scent of my womb
Slippin’ in – he discovers ‘we’
Nurtures it to full bloom

Nacho Love

baby...
we got that...
nacho love..
how? you may ask...
Cuz I am not yo love!
BOOOOOOO YOW!!

Friend Love

You held me in your arms...
i felt so safe and warm
soothing my mind
like hot chocolate soothes my
taste buds.
i am welcoming to this
friendship turned love
each and every moment
is filled with
memories full of
the fresh scent of gain
i feel cleansed
and renewed..
then the day that i found that it was you
you, being the one who
God made just for me..
*inhale, exhale*
I can remember
way. back. when...
we used to laugh, and hang out on the corner
we was best friends
but now..
we are more...
it just feels right. ..
you know..
like the something that you been
searching for your whole life
has been there...
your whole life
in amazement
by all this love
all this time...
it was worth all the frogs
kissed that never turned into princes
cuz you were my prince all along.
you have been there wth me
through everything.
our love was conceived that
day we met.
and our love seed has been incubated
in God's hands for years.
and now we are ready to give birth to this love
I was presented b4 you
as the me whom you would
love as Christ loves the church..
it was written.
destined that..
our love... this love
would grow into what it is now..

You Have Me

a breath of fresh air
opening my rainy skies
to receive the light
your light.
you.. carry me through all the hard times
and its hard for me not to love you
see.. even in the beginning of this...
you had me.
and though, we didnt start out as...
more,
you had me
you appeal to my senses..
your giving heart...
your creative mind...
you...had... me...
and through our ins and outs...
you still have me
see,
my ears crave your voice...
my skin yearns for your touch...
and my heart...
is filled with so much love for you.

iLove

iLoveyou
yeah this is true
see, I couldnt imagine it before
but...
Ev-er-y time you walk through that door..
does something to me.
You are like a multi vitamin..
you have everything I need.
more than I ever wanted...
more than I could dream
its like when I least expected it,
you somehow found me
tapped me on my shoulder
and said, "You got me straight trippin' boo"
and overtime... undertime.. within time...
Love... whispered your name in my ear..
Love... painted your picture in my head..
Love.. wrote your name on my heart..
and from then on..
I knew that.. this was something different.
See, love slipped from my lips previous times
with previous cats..
but this right here...
This right HERE..
aint none of that.
You court me
and woo me
and I cant wait til you
shoop shoop me..
thus us forming one be-ing.
with us being one..
then the deepest that our love flows
will have begun..
iLoveyou...
you Love me..
Us standing firmly together
on God's word in God's love...
together we breathe
together we shall be
One

Scream

i want to scream...
to the top of my lungs..
see. there is this guy..
and..
he. gets. on. my. last. nerves.
thoughts of him leave
my skin itching, crawling..
Irritated.. and red.
he is an annoyance
to my life and
I... wish..
I wish...
I wish he woud GO away..
like FAR FAR away...
How obvious does one have to be...
Oy vey

Blood and Peace

nakedgal

It’s about 6°
Too cold to do as I imagine:
Barefoot on dry, dusty brown top soil
Circling down into a kneeling posture
Giving thanks for a waning moon

Not even the brightest day in late December
Could overwhelm her ‘showing out’ in full form
Creator of Stars, Fiery Light reminds us
That what is offered to shine, must

Pulling of returning tidal waves
Settling tree roots call forth
My blood, my water, my memories,
My pain, my wearied sugar drops

So I peel the skin off of tiny round Clementines
Mandarin-sweet scents, sour juices
Clearing down my throat when
Great Mother Emaline nudges the
Left side of my brain

A cleaning fury comes over me
Stern broom sticks
To sweep over
Warped wooden floors
Spilled bread crumbs,
Last night’s collard cuttings n’
Bad energy shedding
Off, away and out
Of my present
My home
My womb

Later, I know the dream

The yr of.....

The yr of recuperation.. digesting and multi tasking the faults of myself and others..
I have won.. but have I with the amount of stuff just to erase a small fact.. that I am the cause of such happenings..one says if u no better than u do better but better has to be learned first...there's a thirst ..c ...to be illuminated from this game we call LIFE..

The yr my weary body may seem strong on the outside..my perky wonderfulness and the fullness of my hips... dance like tempting shadows.. on paved walls.. but inside there is a stall... filled with names..numbers.places and things..talking walls..dirty water..with tissue on the floor..people have come and gone..sometimes felt used and then if that loved at all.

The yr these eyes seen some great..unique pieces of work.. have the eyes deceived me to no end.. have my heart been mended back together..glue or tape..and to fall apart again.. what is true.. what is this that we all search for.. can we understand it if it was right in front of our faces or are we so numb..no sense of anything without a big sign.. some glitter.. some noise..some illusion.. some twinkle..some score..

This water is soaking in

My flame is turning black

Should they ask

Tell them the Ocean has come back

This patience has been waiting

For the moon to come into view

Night waves rush over

Like the tempting stillness the Rivers persue

This East Wind blew

In her thunder i heard my name

She gave me Peace & Red clay

And I became Blue Flame

This flame sits above Sea

Tickling Sky

Laughing at Moon

We Make It Beautiful

We make it beautiful by being dutiful...
Raising seeds from birth, raising seeds from the earth.
We make it beautiful by being dutiful...
Walking hand in hand, being that butter half, walking that righteous path.
We make it beautiful by being dutiful.
Protecting, revolting and fighting, meditating, healing and peace making, giving, loving and living.
We make it beautiful because we are dutiful...
Praising the Almighty YHWH, resting in His peace and glory, living in the words of the Lord most high, Jah blesses us because we are in His sight. Giving all adoration to Jesus, bowing our heads, humbling ourselves, presenting ourselves because He was us, He is us, He is with us...Immanuel! Melodic Psalms spoken when in need. Giving testimonies of the mercies and gifts, sharing this spiritualism to uplift.

This world is all we got, let's make it beautiful by being dutiful.
Your womanhood is the most wonderful thing to possess, make it beautiful by being dutiful.
You give love, make love and be of love; make it beautiful by being dutiful.
Shine on lioness, rise above any ignorance, make whatever you have beautiful by being dutiful.

We make it beautiful....!
Peace and Love

INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN MY ADVANCES
MY ATTENTION WUZ SWEPT AWAY BY
HIS TOUCH

HIS KISS
HIS... TEASING ADVANCES

then slowly retreats.

TONGUE SLOWLY DANCING ON
MY ARM
MY SHOULDER
SOFT TOUCH OF LIPS BUT

not quite a kiss.

MY BREAST
MY STOMACH
TOUCHING MY LEG N
ADVANCING TORWARD CONSUMPTION

he takes my breath away.

I AM TRULY UNDER HIS SPELL
FULL CONTROL HAS LEFT MY SENSES
SOUL TRANQUILIZED LIKE
A WRETCHED SLAVE
CRAVING MORE N MORE...

N MORE

PLEADING BUT

ignore it

IM DELIRIOUSLY OBEDIENT
ABANDONING MYSELF

though not fully consumed.

MY BODY IS RACKED WHT LIGHTNING
FROM HEAD
TO TOE

back halfway to head.

I LAY MOTIONLESS
SILENT N SPENT

N STILL...

HE TOUCHES

TWO.GATHER

I DONT SEEK A CENTERFOLD.

JUST SUM CHOCOLATE SPIRIT SOLID ENOUGH TO HOLD

SUBMISSIVE ENOUGH TO BE TOLD

BUT.... NOT CONTROL

MAYBE I DONT WANNA GROW TOGETHER
I JUST WANNA BASK IN D SUN OF U....... RIGHT NOW

FUCK FOREVER CUZ FOREVER MAY VERY WELL
NOT COMPLY WITH MY TWO.GETHER
THE TWO OF US GATHER OUR SILKY SOULS
TO CREATE LATHERS UNKNOWN

BUT DAMN...

I WUD BUY A JAR OF IT...

Wild Thing

Legend tells of a renagade,
of a horse no one could tame.
Her sire was the devil himself,
Wild Thing was her name.

No one knew where she came from,
Quarterhorse blood, they say,
When the leaves dance across the meadow,
on a cold October's day.

People would gather from miles around,
to watch her dance upon the wind.
They would only get a glimpse of her,
then she would be gone again.

Some had tried to capture her,
take her for a ride.
The town folks called her widow maker,
for all the cowboys who had tried.

There was this Indian woman,
had a way with horses, I know,
She headed into the hills one day
to give ol'Wild Thing a go.

When she came upon a clearing,
above a ridge called "Heaven's Gate,"
She thought to herself, "How appropriate,"
and she began to wait.

She sat there for what seemed a lifetime,
wondering what this horse might do,
When all at once she heard thunder,
but the sky was the bluest of blue.

She held her breath and waited.

IF U SEEK ME... BUDDY

I LONG FOR A NIGHT OF ENDLESS SLEEP
A NIGHT WHTOUT U HOVERING AT D EDGE
OF MY SEMI.CONSCIOUS MIND

STEALING UR WAY INTO MY PEACE
BRINGING D ULTIMATE PAIN THAT
WRENCHES AT MY ONCE HEALED HEART

WIDENING D CREVICE
SPILLING OUT D CONTENTZ
ONCE AGAIN... NEEDZ UNANSWERED

DRIFTING INTO MY WAKEFULNESS
LEAVING FRUSTRATION
DEVASTATION
PIECES TO HOLD TOGETHER

NO SHOULDER TO CRADLE MY HEAD
NO REST UPON MY BED....

Know Me in the Biblical Sense

I want you to know me in the biblical sense.
cause knowing me biblically
means knowing me spiritually
and when we combine as one
we are spiritually linked
love so deep
it transcends
all physicality
nurturing all
mentalities...
cuz you. make. me. think.
my love flocks to you
like a moth to a flame
you intrigue me
inside
and outside
upside
and downside
So yes, I want you to know me in the Biblical Sense
I feel you deserve all.. of.. this..
me.. in every sense of the matter.
You lead me to feel
you. The you..who God created you to be.
You are my brotha.
My friend.
My teacher.
My go-to man.
My King.
I name you my King
cuz you're the King
to my Queen.
and I cherish you.
Standing side by side,
but knowing when to let. you. take. lead.
I want you to know me in the Biblical Sense
Feeding my spirit, my mind, my heart
with love, heaven sent.
So love, my love...
know. me. in. the. Biblical. Sense.

Haiku 11

Sometimes love binds me
To the sky then lets me go
To float to heaven.

...sometimes...

Somewhere there is a noise in the dark.

(On two lonely people who could meet but don't)

Somewhere there is a noise in the dark
Of a tear that falls one night on a lonely evening
To the side of the face it cries out and jumps off
To the feeble rhythm of the murmurer
Who hopes that a universe she doesn’t know
Hears her and does her a favor
And looks her way and trades her a fate
That bends to her will
For the one that laughs haughtily in her face.

And somewhere there is a noise in the dark
Of a hand that goes back and forth along the shaft
Of a man whose grunts are pitiful wishes that
His hand was touching something that meant more
Than a sprout of semen or that his eye
Caught something more beautiful, more familiar
Than a worn about flower in pumps in the air.

In the dark there is the silent noise of thoughts
That meet each other on the path to a dream
Where lovers meet and tears stay in their cages
And hands are like flowers with soft petals that
Close and open with the love of a lover
Unafraid to love and truth that is unafraid to speak.

Somewhere there is a noise in the dark.

Unafraid to love and truth that is unafraid to speak.

Love is Here

it was like
we knew each other from another life
you were me, I was you
we were creation
no need for explanation
love transfered
when your breath
reached mines
and we were made anew
one
being.
our eyes seeing each others souls
accepting our pasts
but looking forward to our
new found future together
love
in a past life
you were my best friend
I remember it like it was yesterday
you filled my spirit with
so much laughter
then you went away
and here
right now
in this moment
we are together
lvoing each other
just like it was written
in our destinies
time went on
but you were always in my heart
i carried you
thru the good
the bad
and sho nuff the ugly
cuz our love
inspired
beauty to emerge
beings combined
becuz of us
and thru time
i met him
you met her
and they were them
neither was us
they were filled with
heartfelt lust
so they left
i cried
you moved on
but here
in the now
it is us
love
not lust
love
cuz we trust
i give
you give
Love.
Love.
Love.
is.
here.

And why I cant Love

Wonder why I couldnt love
Havent been shown love
Ive always been in charge
to protectmy feelings, never could just relax
and let a man be a man because Ive always been on a race to be a Woman.
Always hiding some,thing
with some pretense telling him its a game we playing, Rather then open to peace and understanding.

This not a competition to see who could hold out first.
Its Gods Game our ancestors game, who can love first.
It not a test to see what the mans worth Be yourself show what loves worth.
There is a certain man
Im afraid of because I grew up deathly afraid of my stepfather.
The tribe said this is the man I was made of (/for)
I would like to become again with him and erase the things fear has caused
.
I love him but more importantly I love us and I dont wanna be with anybody else.I think living with father and without true father gave me the feeling of being very unworthy of a love to be felt, and I see I have been living in hells, .
I want to break those chains,
I know now how real theyve been.
The pyshic lady said she saw blocks, I PRAY Papa ;egba Move them,
gently
One by one Until I am again my true self worthy of Love.

MIDNIGHT BLUES

Blues

Thick like syrup

Drowndin' me

Drowndin' me

In wet shadows

Bowin' low

For that midnight moon

My Sugas' comin'

Hope he learn to swim

'Fo he reach my door

I'm wakin' up

From a nice ride

Workin' spells

From a dream pillow

Got to work these

Knotts out my hair

And catch da blues

"GETTING UP"

THE AFTERNOON SUN

IS CLOSED OFF

BY THE SHADES

--DARKNESS

MY EYES ARE OPEN

ALL I FEEL

IS THIS RUG BENEATH ME

AND--NOTHING

ABOVE ME

MY DISHES ARE CLEAN

FILLED WITH EMPTINESS

I DRINK MY IMAGINARY TEA

HOLD MY INVISIBLE PILLOW

IT'S--NOTHING

REALY,I'M ALL RIGHT

HERE ON THIS FLOOR

I HEAR A VOICE

"9 to 5"

Take off my fake eyelashes

Step out of reality

With red & orange splashes

Jump in the shower

Nice & cool and

Wipe off my gold mascarra

Wash out my fancy hair doo

Jus' to get a thrill

From my herbal essance shampoo

Let the water caress my face

And enjoy the moment

I can go at my own pace

My mind is clear

Stress free

'Cause here is where I wanna be

Unknown Reality

there are times
when
looking into your eyes
i start to cry
cuz its a dream
its all a dream
that you are here
loving me
the way you are loving me
cuz things like this
just dont happen to me
and most days i feel unworthy
but here you are
and here I am
and this is real...
isnt it?
see, Ive been thru these motions before
and I swore..
I would never open that door...
again
but here you are..
and here I am..
loving..
almost fearful of..
how this could end
cuz I dont want it to end
U introduced me..
to me..
loving all parts of me
wholly.
the ins and outs
the ups and downs
u.. stayed here
by my side.
U befriended me
comforted me
in my midnight hour
you..
its funny cuz
right when i was saying
im done.
Im taking a break..
Im not looking anymore..
you appeared in my door
moving me mentally
challenging me spiritually
and loving me completely
but it all feels like a dream
it does..
I go to sleep and I pray that you stay
I pray that you are real
I pray you are true.
And when I wake up..
I thank God that it is you..
and that this is real
and that you are my reality
altho this feels just like a dream.

EXCITED!!

FOR U... I WILL DO
WHAT IS NEEDED TO PROCEED WHT A LIFE OF
ETERNAL BLISS
