The ripple effect
I wish I could allow my soul to burst into 1 million molecules
That 1 million other people could then take and use it
To rip the skin off of the earths spiritual eyes
So Like fresh bread ...peoples Love for Life and each other
It could just rise and rise
To bring wisdom back into there minds and let knowledge shine thru there third eyes
I wish I could create a ripple effect
That would erase all pain, hate, and neglect
It would cleanse our souls and let our
Conscouisness be free going into all of you
Flowing directly out of me. ...

Robbing The Cradle Prt1
He was 6'4, Long, Tall, and Strong.
He lived in my neighborhood,and hung out
with some mutual acquaintences... and Most Importantly
He was 23.
He told one of our mutual friends ...to tell me,
That he thought I was Beautiful, and to call him
So I did.
As Genuine's So Anxious was playing in the background of our conversation My thoughts were racing and I wasnt thinking clearly, cause I could see that he wasnt Nearly as old as I thought he should be.
He said "Age aint nothin but a number baby, so dont let my age stop us Both from getting what we...

Not Quite a Love Poem.....
There will be no flowers for me...
There will be no boxes of chocolate
For me either...
I wont be the one gushing at the water cooler over the romantic
Evening that my signifigent who ever....is planning.
I wont be the one at my desk staring goo goo eyed off into
The dreamy nothingness thinking of what my so- called Lover will have planned for the night.
No... I will be the one who turns all reports in early.
I may even work late today, for that matter.
I will be the one who sits silently smiling at all the other
Valentines Day Lovers who...

I remember
"A People who dont know there history...Is like a Tree without roots" Marcus Garvey.
So Here I am...making a declaritive statement inside my mind,
on who I am.
on who I was raised to be.
on who I WANT to be.
Yet truth of self never seems to come easily
As there are times that I feel like a Motherless child
OH.. but wait... a Motherless Child is exactly what I am
Considering... My History...see my mother killed her self
When I was only 16...
I remember laying face down ... on the dirt...
I could not believe how this hurt... ...

I Am...
I am...an Omen...I am A Sign.
Smoothe, yet sweet...Aged like
Fine wine.
I am ...the salt of the earth,
The endless Cypher... I am
The cycle of Life... and Death
I am the the fascilitator of Rebirth.
I am an Original- I have never been rehearsed.
I am ...Undiluted. I am a concentrated energy
My Light Burns bright like a supernova...
Spillin Ova... inside of me as darkness
Disperses at the sight of me...
As I believe... I only get better with time-
My Third Eye is renewed... and my Chakras aligned.
I am ...Ghost Tracin
Evil...

Deep Roller
For years... my history lay dormant inside of me...small seed growing silently until my curiousity bloomed like a full grown tree.
I finally wanted to know...How far down the rabbit hole I could go.
My Father was a crack-addict and alchoholic,and my Mother was an Alchoholic and a Schizophrenic trippin on those phycotropic drugs.. along with heroine.....
In the end My Mother couldnt save me .... not knowing the pain she gave me when she killed herself.
Now my Father was never around and the Doctors say thats why I was feeling down.... The Doctors said I was a Deep...

Inner Meditation
There is a place.... inside my deep inner space....
that ebbs and flows... and helps my soul.. to coagulate...
As my inner Dreams and Ideas Begin to mate... then procreate-
to make...
me see new realities through my dreams at night ... in the late,
hours... under an esoteric Moon.. as the elder anscestors draw near.
They whisper the secrets of the Universe in my ear ... and tell me
their Light is coming soon...
I am in awe of the paradigms of Life -
like how a good man can still be called a good man
even after he cheats on his wife
or how...

Stop This Ride
Sometimes ... This Ride called Life Moves too fast for me.... and
Sometimes this ride called Life spins out of control.......
Stop! I said Stop this ride! and I dont care about wasting my fare...
I Just want to Fly.
I Just want to Fly....to a quiet place ... between the darkness and the Night...where everything I.ve ever done wrong has been erased... and changed and made completely right...
But before I go on that journey...
I wanna redeem my ticket for all those tears I cried.. and
It oughta be double coupon day for all the days that I woke up and had hurt...

Curiousity
She.... thought I was sleep.
After passing out on the couch, and mumbling incoherently.
I passed out into the wandering deep.
With my eyes still closed I remember hearing you say to yourself
"Damn, I wonder if...? then you froze.... because I moved. Needless to say my attentiveness improved becasue I could not believe......You wanted me
So Out of Curiousity,I layed very still with only a T shirt and panties on, I let my Head fall to one side and I let out a snore...just to ensure...that you could explore... without waking me.
When I was aching...

Last Night
Last Night...I dreamed of you.
Now understand.... that this dream was nothing
Nice ... or sweet. This dream was all Lust passion, and
Heat....
I dreamed of you.. taking me....with your hands... lips
and tongue... holding me hostage burning trails down my thighs
Hot like the Sun...and I let you...
I wanted you... I needed you to whisper filthy things in my ear
As you tied my wrist.....and tilted my hips.... to reach your lips
I had no fear....as you left wet trails with your tongue over my womanhood... I parted my legs for you like the intrance to...
