HAPPY HOME

There is one home For all of us The light shines Throughout, all the day long The walls tremble With laughter The high road is The only route there Trees guard about Our every trail And hideaway The only time we Hide is when we Play, oh how blessed We are to love We are to live Together, Amen

Lovers’

We are one in the Holy Spirit As her divine wisdom Covers our ignorance As her tenderness Governs our interactions As her delicacy softens The atmosphere I’ve waited patiently For you here Please hear my cry of Joy, You have restored Our union O’ God We delight in Your goodness In love, we proceed Amen

The Blood

This will be my last post As I surrender to the Alpha and Omega host The Lord God Almighty is my savior And of all those who receive Him I’ve spent my years Going against the very nature I was created by And now I’m sharing this to tell you Plead the Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth He is risen We receive salvation through His sacrifice You need not a vaccination, medication or man to…

The way You are

Reminding me to track my miles before delivering all night all over town Kindly suggesting I seek help where you can not Watching over our little flower as I tend to my roots Driving me around so we can make a few dollars Sitting patiently as I rage and holler About things you had no hand in But you hand in the towel Without throwing it You walked away because I’m blowing it Grasping for…

Can I eat you?

Gah you smell so good Can I eat you? I never enjoyed the smell of a human The way I have flowers or food You put me in a good mood I’m high on you like I’ve inhaled stained wood When you lay there quiet Sleeping, not running off in your conscious mind With your thoughts on a diet You embrace the complete unwind I hope I’m in your dreams But laying next to you is all it takes To make…

Good Life

Cheers to inner peace I own it, this time It is not for lease Imma build a house In here, a big ole Plot of land, some deer Snow in the winter Swelter or swim Through September Life is good. I embrace all the seasons I don’t need a reason But looking at you Sun glistenin’ the water droplets On your stache That is the cherry on top

99%

Of the time

I’m wishing I shut up

Before I said what I said

And didn’t mean

To offend

Running in circles

In conversation

Trying to make you

Forget what I said

Look over here

You didn’t hear

Me say that thing

That’s so embarrassing

Seriously

Who added me

In this group thing

I’m best or less stressed

Individually

But I crave intimacy

Diving deep into

People I find interesting

But what do they find

Pray

My mom tells me to pray

When I’m feeling low

That I’m just God’s prey

And pain is the arrow to His bow

She says go to Him

Cast your fears and worries

I keep the lights dim

And write poems about being buried

She’s always been right

And I’ve always enjoyed dwelling

No, that’s a lie

She’s been wrong, who am I telling

But maybe this is a case

Of Mama, told me so

If today’s sorrow, I could face

God…

Wrong Number

If I said I loved you

I wasn’t lying

But today I stand true

In wishing I was dying

Because my love never mattered to who

I have said this to

Delete my fucking number

It’s not like you even call

I’m entering eternity’s slumber

Good riddance to this everlasting rainfall

If you won’t have me

No one will

I wrote you something else

It’s corny and cheesy

And all things winter time

I’ve yet to publish

B…

Heart For Sale

Anyone selling a heart?

Yes, this is black market talk

I’ve seemed to misplaced the spark

That lit the sidewalk lined with chalk

I can’t play hopscotch anymore

My legs have crumbled at the knees

Stop reading now, I’m a bore

What I say next, will sting like bees

I never will stop loving you

But maybe when I learn to love me

Will I have enough loot

To undergo heart surgery

When you let me go

Growing Pains

Every minute turns into an hour

Every day into a week

Perspective, don’t turn sour

It’s the reward that I seek

Falling into a slumber

Seems like my only relief

From the day to day reality

Of shedding who I used to be

I’ve ached as my blood leeched

Moaned as my heart turned molten

Suffered as my trust was breeched

But this is a bona fide explosion

Emotions in corners I dare not visit

Multiple…

SAFE

Is it possible for a black girl to be safe?

Every day there is a case

Another Sandra or Alexis

This isn’t perplexes

Pure statistics

Not fictitious

Snakes start hissing

We go missing

Come up dead

Blue in the head

Out in the fields

Take another bite of your meal

Read about my death

Didn’t open my book when I was

Breathing

Now I’m seething

We’re all so called heathens

But I am an angel

Who deserves…

Whole

I’ve been intoxicated

Afraid and

Restless

But none of that matters

Knowing you’re thriving off me

6 weeks and 4 days

I’m whole

Thanking God for you

Imagine your baby coo

Shining Alba

I can’t wait to meet you

Feeling like we’ve already had our first dance

You’ve altered me

Morphed me into someone

Clear of fear

I never thought this ride, I’d steer

Lost when I met your father

Found since I became…

Queen, still

Find somebody else to be your fairy queen

I never woulda got the job at Dairy Queen

I don’t like remembering things

That are trivial tings

Like how to please a man

Starting In the am

Ending in the am

I am

So sick and tired

Of male expectations

Nigga fuck you

MESSage

Mama always said

Keep ya pussy out ya head

Speak with your actions and

Leave that nigga on read

If he could provide

Then I’d have a free ride

But most men don’t drive

They just run up the hive

Consuming resources

That I replenish relentlessly

Not only perishables, my patience and

Attentively

I listen, caress, and try to limit your stress

But if I make a mess

You’ll notice and digress

Mama also…

a late night poem

Reposing alone

Next to the phone

You permeate the other end

Alarms are set

I can’t sleep in

Pray I seep in, to your rem

Pray I prosper

As well as you too

A thought of me begot a thought of you

I’m awake but for our sake

I’ll spurn my imagination

And yield to the mystery of destination
