Keep It in Mind

comprehension of you is full and near
complex minds with skin combined
hands on,I'm learning
complication about your lips, I'm turning
strong minded girl, move your hips
let your thoughts propose louder than this kiss
sacrifice of Isaac, I'd give it to you
with no hint of insinuation
I'd love you inclusive of all implications

every sapphire crease I'll embrace
so no limit but some chase
hasty hearts aint designed for a light this deep
so its the chemical reaction of my mind you keep

feet on the dashboard
hair locked up in its roots
our jazz on repeat
teeth gritted, all of this freedom
but still I'm committed
to any desire I make an emblem
to any other that has my soul tremblin'
its quite unknown what I behold
with you, him, or most singular, alone
the pretty joy I find
when my soles are evidence of home
and of every abandoned seed
this wind has blown

Untitled

I've expected you for sometime
this reoccuring photograph, I've imagined every line
I've wept in this
superficial city, deserted roads
and dusted soles
angel means, and devilish dreams
waiting for someone to take
whats beneath my
broken seams, fragmented
in every way, even in my shortcomings
I've desired for you to lay

Spitta

clear skies on the horizon
steady heartbeats risin'
on the verge of success
hoping my soul won't become less
less of a lesson
they say God does the testin'
but hardship on my seas
and the tide aint for the weak
but they sayin God bless the meek
I've been at this spot for a while
tantulus is who I've been for a few miles
Options are limited as long as the
blaze and inebriation aren't inhibited
I'll try and give it my all
but truth in my liquor,I'll stumble and fall
late nights of contemplation and
candles lit, step into my sanction
They say i'm postin' this for him
but everything these men stand for is only a glimpse
critic on alert, but such credit is deserved
thick in the head, I've never let a few words hurt

Of Each Sense

forgiveness in my ears
a part of my skin
its glowing, forgiveness
reaching my heart, pumping
through my veins
under my nose, it's the smell
I greet in the morning
it's the scent I burn, and the
lesson that I've, learned
forgiveness is what it taste
like, sugar bittersweet
salty, with the tears I weep
so bitter heart, bitterly cut
take a leap
it's in the tie of his shoe
the sole of his feet, dirty dishes
and all of the shared kisses
forgiveness, is what he reeks of, taste like,
it's all he hears, it's all I hear
forgiveness, its in his eyes
forgiveness, now its in mine

Lastnight

face paint on the lips
rosey cheeks
hair oil with sleepy dips
ghost about my eyes
babydoll cut with the
pointy heels to kill
skin alive til radiant
night sky filled with desire
moon glistening, caramel rise
the ladies can see their eyes
so we'll dance til the blisters behave
and we attract their long gaze
the kindof gaze
that will change a man's ways,
even if for a brief day
our bodies longing to be sore
from the roar of the sirens
say any name you want, but
this youth flickers,
diamonds beneath our skin of sin
rise in the morning, magic night prior
laughter and love, of the sista higher

Untitled

honey dipped sugar
sweet intake
bottled liquor with the
expensive lace
tendered-lip baby
carry me home, because no
lady of love wants to be alone
temporary sentiment
is how I'll survive
truth aint been my way, so
simplistic lies, get me through the day

Search Kindly

I haven't quite found you yet
the compatible requited love
to be in debt
I haven't quite met.
Jam about the lips
sugar melted about the hips
this love waiting for
some irresponsible man to
grasp my responsible hand
so as I write
this love is taking flight
so do you remember me
I'm in your future
not a part of your past
I'm further than what could last
his potential Harlem soul
baby lull, makin' me whole
so come affect my intellect
infect the price I'll pay for these effects
smirk on my face
wherever you may be,
it may be the Case
but I'll wait for it, to
be meant
a long walk with me boy, no chase

Certainly

sweet soul
integrity of the mind behold
it's that deep intiation
kindof love
instrumental silent
type of violent enticin'
risin'
candied skin
with the brown kisses
mister have you given
my music a listen
have you felt the deep touch
of my gold mine
but there's no rush
so certainly
I'll soar with green trees
but maintain the humility
to praise Him on the bruises of my knees
can't say I bring the gospel
simply
because when his arms are around me,
my strength buckles and its my
mind that transcends
so how sweet it is to leave
and come back knowing that, inner
peace can retrieve or decieve
sour honey, pay attention
to who I was
learn who I am
retrace the imprints of my land

Untitled

leaves in the air
lust of autumn, hope I don't Fall
it's been a while since I've
seen the orchards smile and trees stand Tall
cold days embodied of gray haze
wondering where he'll lay
and if the price I'll pay is
worth the stay
petals across the back, red roses
with the tulip laughs
love clouded
but affection hidden
so I'll choose to ask about it
guilty lover, I'll doubt it
allude to what's false
simply what is real is what it
takes to heal
complicated
a broken heart is what it takes to feel
golden leaves draped upon my sleeve
the season of Fall is what it took for me to leave

Untitled

Broken in every aspect
Head tilted to the side
believing a worlds love
that confides its' children
of lies
fairytale delusion becomes
how to live an illusion
cigarette about the mouth
coke bottle on the left
newspaper of economic distress
but the sweatshop thread creates
perfection when we dress
disposition of the American dream
tempted that its the border of means
although we hear,
all things can come true when you
lose reality and pull up the 'boot-strap shoes'
You and I have pictured many things
having a hold on the promises that our country owes
to see the benefits reap
of all those belittled and owned
longevity in these years
when we carry the same world about the eyes
that still derive a few tears

Centuries Ago

All this love given
teardrops routine
emotions every now and then hidden
our love flaunted
yet persuasion to learn the ways daunted

All this love given
loving you, my solemn decision
care of abundance when I open my heart
secretly hoping
my fears tear us apart

All this love given
to babe on the eve of deceive
loved my love, but it could not
conceive
through the fog what this love seemed

All this love given
to him I vowed
that I'd never be too proud
to shy from the garden
and my thoughts be heard loud

All this love given
to struggle with who I am
only to grasp every stitch and wound on his hand
easy roads have always been taken
but with all my love given, my intentions were never mistaken

Power of Heart

Power is what I choose
rather than love,only to lose you
Business suit and suitcase
Quick pace so he keeps up the chase
I need him to conquer me
but the world shows, all he'll
do is leave me
compromise
leading up to demise
sacrifice
only to bargain with the lies
but I can't help but feel cornered
when its your eyes
that tell me we'll defy
Power is what I choose
the stereotypical gain
over the typical lose
until he shows me that the world
is not full of lover's fools

Metallic

I find myself knowing it's you
honey draped hearts
robotic love
in all its assembled parts
a red light of the chest
machinery
but I feel you at your best
in your arms i decompose
but the beauty it holds
beyond any low
you could break it in pieces
make it a phase where you lay
or when the reaction sparks
you could release and stay

Meant for Content

love unkind
psalms reversed
but I promise this love is mine
my footsteps follow when yours
leave
grab the keys til you plead
my eyes blind
while my love leads
hearts aligned in time
well I've waited
at times, passion so charismatic
I've hated the mind
curse when you dare go
because it was created perfectly
for me
ashes of the old me, curled up
in your love
the new me, beholding
exceptional in our flaw
with beauty surrounding our hands
diamond of my lens
I've never known right but I've always
wanted him
you could only walk away to take my way
darling, they aint ready for you
orchards in my kiss
darling, don't let them elude you
roses in my tears
when you're lacing up shoes
its been unkind because
the world wants what is mine
you promised me your love
the white picket fence and the white dove
never the stars and stripes
war is why you depart
but right in my heart, lies the fight
baby, I salute
an exceptional Salute

Cliche

it's a love poem
heartbroken with an outspoken pen
I'm supposed to solely
blame it on him
react because he tells me
what I lack
fight back, and if I'm lucky he'll
take me back
flames at home, hell in his eyes
'cause he's not mine
I should be seen with an emotional lens
bias against my emotions because
they don't please him
homemaker turned out to be a taker
talk of the cliche, because an ill
and troubled bed is where I'll lay
society's rules birth
society's fools
so with the face-paint I'll smile
red lips while I hold the child
red eyes when he locks me in my demise,
still expecting me to make love to the
lies

Ambition

ambition is what
she petitions
wide-eyed with wide hips,
marching upon her feet
with the "tell it from the mountain-top" lungs
speaking against defeat
on and on
capital dreams,refusing a
sewed-up voice
breaking all seams
it could be the outburst of the 1960s
or the verge of anger in the 50s
either age, her body felt the rage
that it would be her mind that was caged
no fear of man,
but the fear of what he did to the
natural land
she could be a teary-eyed fool
or exhale the water, quieting
the baby's lull
Ballad of woman, holes when she's whole
truthful, she's often been told No

Possible Amongst Me

chords of beauty
if you let me
with flowers of uncanning
love
if you knew
me
bloom in the winter
and freeze in the fall
moon beneath my cheek
if you lived me
I could be a flower child
or settle for the
vulgar mediocre lifestyle
options of lust
questions of might and must
beating hearts, the only
seemingly saviors that tease
all in my own minor
if the world is convinced to believe

Home

memories are left, behind
head crossed over the shoulders
peaking at what, was once mine
violence is this city's source of shine
with each childs cry loud enough
to shatter any lie
but yet they ignore His might,
the strength needed for the body to
begin its flight
you could feel each pain
and judge each way, but
without an angel's help,
each hand extended after,
is far too late

Wonder

captivate it
stimulate it, you should
appreciate it
thoughts unkind
with sights for the blind
head upon the world. with hands
a part of the heart
substance for the soul
a worried mind would've made
these thoughts whole
I could be of this world
or I could be in it
poetic words reveal its truth
but the eyes remained tinted
a different shade,
this skin, than yours,
a burden it could be, but embedded
is a love in this shade that you can see
with a perfect perception you could guess
but with a flawed personality,
cliche thoughts, more is less
complicated minds,
a witness to these words that bind

Unknown

stones beneath her feet
paths leading to this peak
hair down her back
strolling along the side streets
barefoot, with
no struggle, no crease
hummingbird, oh
hummingbird, her voice
the only one to speak its word
the sweetest sound God overheard
destiny with its grasp,
could not capture, what she holds
in her hands
only the stars shine where she may land
her eyes glance upon a dream
temptation amiidst, she meets a boy
what she begins to see
is not what it seems

Beyond

I'm a pretty unique disaster and in
my world, your pace will
multiply a little faster. Few can
comprehend the thoughts, few know
the art of me, I only let
a few
share a part of me
like an elegy I indulge in the natural
heart of me..no alterations, no mask
for my worries. This is to the bravest, know i'm
an artist. Life is on display but
getting to know me is the hardest
a word
a chord
with every platinum articulation and
golden sound
I'm above the stigmas that give
royalty the plastic crown

Carefree

Carefree
thought and action regenerating
nothing left to do except be
inhaling this creation
if only they could
touch and see
the beauty this life reveals
to me
I find it in the dewdrops, on a
flower
or a simple note that my
songbird, sang to me

This Way

Match my heart, match my
intellect, match my drive
Don't lead my emotions
Don't tame my desires
walk with me and the
petals will fall in winter,
summer, and spring
hair loosened and back arched
embrace my struggle
embrace each crease
and I'm telling you,
a love will reveal itself

Summer

The last word I etched, was
of you
The last heartbreak I wrote
down, was because of you, though
this pen a little dusted, had
put it down after you,
couldn't be trusted
June, it's been a while
the seasons changed but
some thoughts Remained
sweet fingertips, last
September at last I wrote
about your lips
I wrote because I was in love
with a boy last summer
now I reflect, peaches come
into bloom
as the ink on my paper lights
up
the last poem I wrote, it was
of your touch
but now I record the words
because the suns,
beautiful
the night sky becomes
peaceful, and my
wonders are at
ease
my pen now one of
release

Thoughts

Heart of Kind
Compassionate Touch
Head upon my breasts
this world always asked him
for too much
stick labels with the
predestined mold
seems as though he was created
for me to hold
short little words, could not
account for what I've
learned
we ponder at the stars, with
a bitter tongue
resentment against a history
a history that makes a
heart, unkind
while the glowing stars unwind
