POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Not going to pretend to be a professional poet, but i'm working on it.
Untitled
Sitting here holding you tight within my arms
hugging you and holding you close to keep you warm.
Shushing your cries
while drying your eyes.
Whispering assurance in your ears...
Hush love, don't cry.
Sing another lullaby.
Don't worry baby, mommies here...
Every scratch, burn, and fall
I'll be there for it all
helping you get back on your feet.
Every doubt, hurt, and shame
I'll help you through the pain.
Mistakes you'll learn and not repeat.
God has helped me see
there is no place id rather be
than right here keeping...

Heartless
When did I become this empty carcass
Soul enclosed surrounded by this darkness
No turning back no way to stop this
How easy it is to be so heartless.
I've burned myself until I couldn't feel
Now I don't know how to tell if this love is real
No sense of direction I've lost all my will
Damage is indefinite don't think I can heal.
And I know, no I can't live this way
Teach me to love, don't leave oh please stay
Preform surgery on me do what you may
Open up the veins that kept love at bay.

Dancing without a care
Our body's burning so lets light up the night.
Can't stop, won't stop, not putting up a fight.
No care, swallowing in air, wind cooling our skin.
Hypnotized by the thrill of the night, so far lost within.
Spending our last dime
like we're running out of time.
Hands thrown up in the air.
Cutting loose
got nothing to loose.
Dancing without a care
We only have this night
so lets make it right
even if its wrong.
Slow winding
bodies grinding
rocking out to every song.
Give it all you got
lets make it hot
so...

Burden
You're the load upon my back.
The thoughtless rider with a heavy fully loaded pack.
You're the obligation that nags oppressively.
The encumbrance of all things crippled, finding the simplest of things to be laced with difficulty.
You're the child suckling at his mothers breast.
Overly nourished, consuming without rest.
And this burden I possess
because of you gives me such stress
that my body is a mess
and there's pains in my chest.
Hard to breath, I've been yoked
like a dumb animal. You choke
me and abuse me, then make me carry your loads....

Her Ex
I want my best friends ex.
Its that wrong?
To want what she neglected,
Left broken and foregone?
I want what he gave her.
Can I have his wasted love?
She greedily took all he gave.
Brushed off his affections with a shove.
I want him to caresses me,
The way they use to touch.
I'll remedy his aching heart.
Stand firm and be his crutch.
I know what a man needs.
I know how to treat him.
Touch and kiss and care,
I know how please him.
I promise I'll make all his pains go away,
If only he'd take me next.

Stereotype
What does it mean to be a strong, proud, black woman?
I've given this a lot of thought, and I'm here to tell you now
its not always what you've been taught.
Generally you have to be dark, milk chocolate, ebony brown skin.
Natural hair, spit out history, absent of any physical flaws or sin.
Some people call it being a "bad bitch", "tough chick",
always staring challenges in the face.
Holding the symbol of the mother country on her shoulders like
she was fresh bread from the African race.
Her voice loud, made to be heard.
Out spoken...

Let me get to know you
I just wanna get to know you. Not playing
games. We could just chill underneath
the stars, it's all the same
to me. I just wanna get to know
you. Not the one you put up as a show
but the one I saw when we first met.
When can I get
a chance to finally know you?
Stop hiding from me.
I can take it trust,
I don't break easily.
When can I get to know you? Your soft
and rougher side.
Unlock your caged heart, let me revive
it. Let me get to know you.

Turn On...
My skin feels like a blanket of heat
I want to claw my way out if it.
Tiny rivulets of sweat race along the skin of my spine
Stopping at the curve above my backside..
Why are you doing this to me
When you know you can save me from this fire?
Are you happy with what you see
My suffering brings you desire?
You dark, evil, sadistic fiend
Sitting quiet as I wallow and ache.
My body longing for your oh so cool touch
A breeze that makes me tremble and shake
The memory of your ice cold kisses
How easy it was to turn you on.

simply happy
Lying here at the top of the playground
Listening to the voice of my son and friend
Playing. I close my eyes and smile, enjoying the sound
And the wind as it blows, cooling my skin.

Memoirs to Xavier...
Any woman could survive off of you,
You're food for the body as well as the hear.
You pleasure, please, teach, and inspire,
I don't know where to start.
I know I'm still getting to know you,
Somethings things are still unknown to me.
But I know the basics of your heart,
And I see how your soul shines brightly.
I know anyone can obtain God's light,
But my experiences has caused mine to grow dim.
One bulb after the next,
I'm starting to run out of them...
I know I must claim it to obtain it,
But I've built up so much shame....

You ain't seen nothing yet
God is still working on my marvelous testimony, I ain't seen nothing yet!
If I've gotten this far letting him order my footsteps, Lord knows how much further I could get!
I've seen my share of cross roads, and I've failed a few test. But His power is so strong y'all and
I still ain't seen thing yet!!
The Bible says "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth."
But sometimes I let the devil shame me and the praise and thanks just wont come out...
You know what MY God did? He reached deep down in and opened my heart that...
