There Are Always Haters
We were on a long walk in the park
in late August
The lake water shimmered against the sun’s gaze
fall was upon us
And I stopped to lean against a tree
It was the farthest one I could find
You leaned against me and a passerby said something like,
“It won’t last ladies” as if there was something we were hiding
When [...]
The Universe in Discord
They shootin’ rockets at the moon
Claim they lookin’ for water
Awarding President’s Peace Prizes
He ain’t done shit to stop the slaughter
Requires a crisis of conscious
Why a crisis is upon us
But I don’t wish for terrible things
Only for them to be spun off us
Brought out into the light
To get to the center of truth
You gotta open up [...]
How’s Life Cheating You
Two years in review and much has changed
Opportunities arise on a daily base
And still I put myself out there
Unafraid to take blame
Of my past indiscretions
And the danger I faced
When I came clean about cheating
I’ll never forget the day
Drove over to my mistresses place
I had a lot to say
When I got to the door I heard the music escaping
The [...]
Relationships: Cancer Changes Everything
(circa 1998)
Where is my will
Where has my spirit gone
Flown away like a dove
Released and peaceful
Yet I am not pure
All perfection a figment
Always the occupant
Of mortal thoughts
Imperfect premises
Must it be this way
A constant contemplate…
We went from being at peace to declaring war in a matter of days. I absorbed the shock the best way I knew [...]
Your Sexy Intellect
I always noticed you
My initial feeling was that you were dope
I loved how your thoughts processed
And how you played it like your were so… shy
I especially like it when
You casually bite your lip
While side eyeing something I just said
And all I probably want
Is to be in between both of them
I like how you just showed up
Out of the blue [...]
A Poem to Self
My healed black ego
Hides well under the scars
Placed carefully within
Misshapen bouts of depression
Can’t think clear enough
Through the emotional discarding
Of those well-sung lullabies
I used to sing myself at night
Flying through the open window
Out of a heavily burdened mind
Makes me thank God
For how feminine love makes me
Feels so free to alleviate
Any discord that plagues me
Like how the daily motions
of dallying in masculinity
Cause others to abhor
As [...]
I Want You
Let’s cut through the lyrical romance.
I’ve wined and dined, you know what comes next.
Do we satisfy the ultimate longing.
Or do what they do in the songs and tap dance.
I’d much rather hear you sing your heart out.
As I calmly eat my heart out.
Removing the angel wings from a good girl.
As I further wrap you up [...]
Erotic Trust
I was that smooth operator
Made love with lavish lust
My desires no procrastinator
Spent – day and night
Reenacting love songs
We’d skip the heart-breakers and through sweat and funk
We fucked
There was no requirement for things tasting of sweetness
No fake bliss
While licking pussy like a thirsty kitten being weaned
Off its mom’s tits
Your sweet milk never tasted guilty in the mouth
I was a [...]
Love Is Imperfect Perfection
My love runs through
Broken hearts and altered souls
Exalted love was made impure
While walking paths that no bound knows
Whispering nothings sweet and minced
Empty proclamation’s dispensed
Yet still hearts deeply embedded within
Permanently encased within a permanence
A familiar feeling I became acquainted with
So while lust and desire took a hold our gift
You held on to promises made
Without pretense
—————————————
We endured the pain of turning black our past
And began anew with a surreptitious glance
We conjured replies
Monitored screens of text
When our thoughts found a room
There they privately [...]
