"ONLY THEN"
Only in silence
can
i
see
your face
hear
your words
be
your listening
and
truly accept
why
you are not
here with me.

"Summer Love"
She came to me like Summer
I was softened by her rays of Spring
My days where then much longer
So happy she made me sing
but now that summers over
All I can do is prepare
for Winter is upon me
It's Spring I will beware

"Untitled"
My heart is broken,
How could you stand there and smile
You took my love for granted
I will return the favor just wait in a while.
You said I was the one for you
You said you'd never lie,
Then you took that special thing from me
Now, Its like "who am I"
The pain it caused was much more than most
You broke that sacred trust
I never meant to give myself to you
But with love you said I must.
Now I'm standing here all alone with God as my only friend
You on top and grinding me into this weed smoking fiend.
I tried to let it go away on its own,
But somehow it stayed with me.
Why did you say" Trust me girl"
When you knew you would hurt me.
As I rise above this thing,
Don't try to say its my fault.
Don't worry you won't hear my name,
Cause baby you are mad caught.
I loved you then and today maybe still,
But I know one thing is true,
You wanted all of me when none was given,
And now I hate all of you.

"On Your Marks, Get Set..."
Are you ready for this?
Not everyone got a guess
but I gotta deliver
just like in 30 minutes or less
a short parable
or a ditty for those in the know
comin str8 with the real
with a poetic type of flow
darkness
light
wrong
or right
fight or flight
trying to do right
momma taught me better
everyones on a quest for cheddar
my soul is on ice
just like Eldridge said
trying to keep above water
trying to stay a little ahead
as the world turns
my body can't stay still
my spirit and mind moves me
an unbound iron will
the revolution ain't on ppv
or on public access neither
its occuring in both hemis
without riders or heaters
survival or the fittest
the quick and the dead
evolve or perish
how can i hold my head
the meak will inherit the earth
for what is worth
no one owns this planet
it ain't even for rent dayuum it!
some prey on the weak
the physical the mental
you turn a blind eye
till its in your residential
brother versus brother
parent against child
no matter your income
this shyt is gettin wild
pipin hot, straight from the oven
extra toppings no charge
square or round
we all from the same ground
breath the same air
see the same sun
warm blodded mammals
ice cold when life is done
from the jungles in the city
to the house on Pennsylvania ave
look inside your spirit and mind
for your own unique path
put the slogans away
put em next the the 9s
but if you don't put em down
you expect me to leave mines?
can you hear me?
do you see me?
trying to stay true
im here, living like you
the time is now
and now is the time
time waits for no man
time loves only time
Can you Dig it......

"For Her..."
The suns lightrays-her smile
its warmth-her voice
it hangs in the air, unapologetic like her presence
as the sun is the center of our earthly universe
so she is the radiant star of my heart
amonung countless stars, only one can light
the morning of my soul or darken
the evening of my heart as she can
the sun of my universe.
Swirling spirit like combustible gases,
chemical reactions from her uncharted soul..
my heart erupts as if it were a dormant volcano
who once again.....speaks in native tounge
a vocabulary of fire and burning magma.

"LOVING HARD"
Bonded naturally,
We didn't have to be,
But we kissed so passionately.
You're the spiritual individual,
Slowing my cynical pendulum.
Here i find FOCUS.
Otherwise I seem hopeless.
I note this throughout my household,
We're both the other half of our whole,
Our souls,
And our goals.
Only God knows how we'll unfold.
I'm unraveling.
My heart is pitter-pattering,
Watching you lathering in majestic oils.
Your point?
To be loyal and consistent,
To keep your spirit uplifted from the wicked.
If I knew the perfect woman's description,
You'd fit it.
We met.
For what?
This...
LOVING HARD!!

"What U Want From Me?"
I Wish I knew what you want from me
I wish I only knew.
No words can express what it feels like
To be touched...by you!
Then maybe...maybe you would know.
The urges that you awaken are real.
Confusion invades my thoughts...
Stemming from the mixed signals that you send
You want me but you don't.
Yet for me to have another is wrong.
Never mind that I need love too!
Never mind that I need you!
No other can wipe away me tears
Or calm my deepest fears...with words.
Oh baby...this love is strong!
Though you wander through your days
With questions of ‘why'
Deep down you know the answer is not far...
Your needs exceed all others
The question ‘Why me'
The answer ‘Why not?'

"The Perfect Man"
The first time that I see you I will look into your deep brown eyes,
You will smile at me and kiss my hand and speak to me with your eyes.
The innocent way you look at me will make me realize,
That you are the man that I want to be that special part of my life.
With a kind heart and a sexy voice you will sweep me off my feet,
At that moment I will tell myself that you are all I need.
You will let me know how much you care by the little things you do,
You will love me with your heart and soul,
And show me that your love is true.
You're a trustworthy, honest, intelligent real man.
You will be my lover, my best friend,
You will be the perfect man.
Your heart will be with no one else there will be nothing more that I need,
Anytime I need a friend your tender care will complete me.
You will not be afraid to show your love in public or privately,
You will kiss me deeply and hold my hand whenever you feel the need.
Sometimes I will ask myself, Could this be a dream?
But then I will look at your handsome face,
And your smile will reassure me.
You will care about my feelings and whats going on inside,
Whenever I have a problem you will be willing to give me your time.
There will be no other love that could ever compare
To the way that you love me and the way that you care.
You will never disrespect me,
You will treat me like queen.
You will put my feelings first in your life,
You will always be eager to please.
Anything I ask of you,
You will be willing to provide.
You will please me from the inside out,
You will know me well inside.
The man that I'm describing is not yet in my life,
But I have faith and I truly believe
That this man will come in time.
And when I meet that perfect man,
I will know that it is right.
He will be everything I need in my life,
Everything that I've described.
It doesn't matter how long it takes,
I am willing to wait a while.
Because I am true to myself and I know in my heart,
That I deserve the perfect guy.

"My Seed"
This is my seed
for it I grieve
for it's need to be freed
from this land of greed
and from the hand
of the other man
who fails to understand
how this battle began
this thing called racism
new world hateism
it's not about colored faces
but jealousy of cultural praises
tribal traces
of inherited places
but like stolen bases
they've all but erased
what took place
everything that tells anything
about my seed

"IN THE WORDS OF A ROSE"
I AM A LOVE SICK ROSE
WITH THE MOST PASSIONATELY ROMANTIC PETALS A GARDEN HAS EVER KNOWN
GROWING AMONG WEEDS AND THISTLES
THAT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY STRENGTH, RECOGNIZE MY BEAUTY
AND REALIZE THAT IT'S BECAUSE OF ME THAT THEY ARE EVEN CONSIDERED.
YOU SEE I BRING MEANING TO WHAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE KNOWN
AS BUSHES AND SHRUBS,
ONLY BECAUSE I LIVE AMONG YOU
YOU ARE NAMED AND PROCLAIMED A GARDEN
I AM WOMAN AND YOU ARE THE REASON
OH GARDEN OF MEN THAT I AM SO GREAT
BUT WITHOUT ME YOU ARE NOTHING TO BE APPRECIATED, VALUED, RECOGNIZED, CONSIDERED
DO YOU GET MY POINT
FOR WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT WOMAN EXCEPT ALONE
WITH IN HIS HEART, HIS MIND, HIS BODY AND SOUL HE IS ONE BUT NOT WHOLE.
FOR THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT YOU MR. MAN CAN DO TO YOURSELF, WITH YOURSELF, FOR YOURSELF BUT WHO WILL YOU WITHOUT HESITATION SHARE THOSE THINGS WITH. WHO CAN BE PROUD OF YOU, HAPPY FOR YOU AND REWARD YOU THE WAY A WOMAN CAN. I SUGGEST YOU WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES MY BROTHER OR YOU FOREVER WILL BE BY YOURSELF.

"FRAIL MYTHOLOGY"
I BELIEVE THE BROTHERS HAVE BEEN DECIEVED
THEIR MINDS HAVE BEEN POISONED TO THINK
WHAT THEY NOW BELIEVE
AND SO IN ORDER TO SHATTER THIS SUPERFICIAL WALL
I MUST REVEAL THE FRAILTY OF IT ALL
YOU SEE CONTRARY TO MAJORITY MALE OPINION
THERE IS MORE TO A BLACK WOMAN THAN JUST HER ONION
EVEN MORE THAN YOUR EYES COULD EVER CLAIM TO SEE
SHE CAN NOT BE DEFINED BY ANY DICTIONARY
YOU SEE THE BLACK WOMAN IS AN UNRESEARCHABLE MYSTERY
BUT TO BRING THIS TOPIC ALL THE WAY HOME
I'M REFERING TO THE SISTERS YOU BROTHERS CALL "SKIN AND BONES"
AND I, BEING A SISTER OF FRAIL, THINK IT'S NOT TOO LATE
TO SIT YOU DOWN AND SET YOU STRAIGHT
BROTHERMAN, MY BROTHER, MY NUBIAN BRO-HEM
NO, MY SISTERHOOD CANNOT BE DEFINED
BY BIG AND ROUNDNESS OF MY BEHIND
NOR HONEYDEW MELON LIKENESS TO MY BREAST
OR A COCACOLA BOTTLE FRAME IN MY DRESS
YOU WONT FIND STAIR STEP MOUNTAINS FLOWING THROUGH MY VALLEY
NOR WINDING PLAINS AROUND MY SEA
FOR I REPRESENT THE SISTERS OF YOUR FRAIL REALITY
AND JUST BECAUSE I STAND VERTICALLY TALL
DOESNT MEAN THAT I AM NOT THE SIZE OF IT " ALL"
JUST BECAUSE MY Axx IS NOT EXCESSIVELY LINED WITH FLESH
DOES NOT MEAN I CANNOT SEDUCE, PREVOKE OR IMPRESS
JUST BECAUSE MY CLOTHING SIZES RANG BETWEEN 1 TO 3
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS LESS OF "ME"
NO MY HIPS DON'T SPREAD MY BREAST DON'T BULGE
BUT I COULD MAKE YOU SUCK YOUR FINGER
AND CALL ME "MOMA"
I'M TELLING YOU PLAINLY OF THE SAD SAD TALE
OF THE BROTHERS WHO DIS' AND DOWN PLAY THE SISTERS OF FRAIL
SO IF YOUR EVER GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY AT ANY TIME
TO BE WITH A SISTER OF FRAIL BUT GENUINE
REMEMBER NOT ME BUT THIS INFORMATIVE RHYME
WHEN YOU DENY ANYONE BECAUSE OF HEIGHT OR SIZE
YOUR LESSENING YOUR CHANCES FOR LOVE
AND ADDING TO THESE MYTHICAL LIES
LEARN THAT IT PROFITS MORE WHEN IT COMES FROM THE HEART
NOT SHOT FROM THE HIPS
MORE RESOURCEFUL IS A WOMAN WITH MORE BRAINS THAN BREAST
BROTHERS SEEM TO FALL FOOL TO THE FULL BUT NEVER TO FAKE THE FRAIL
FRAGILE ARE OUR BODIES BUT SPIRITS OF NAILS
AND BROTHERS DONT YOU KNOW WE ARE AWARE OF OUR PETITE SIZE
WE DONT TRY TO FOOL OURSELVES OR OTHERS
LIKE YOU DO WITH THOSE BIG Axx "WONNA BE A PLAYER" LIES
WERE NOT FINDING FAULT IN BEING SO FRAIL AND SO SMALL
WERE NOT TRYING TO PLACE BLAME ON ANYONE AT ALL
WE REALIZE THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SUMMONS TO AN ELITE CALL
AND THAT MY BROTHER ISNT FRAIL AT ALL
AND IN ENDING THIS INFO-SOURCE OF RHYME I MUST STATE
SOMETIMES A BIG BUTT AND A SMILE IS NOT WORTH ITS WEIGHT
AND TO MY BROTHERS OF ILITERACY
THAT'S WEIGHT, W-E-I-G-H-T
