Color Me

I'm black right?
You see black right?
So what does that mean?

Let's see...
What do I know about black people?
I know, for sure, black people love oxygen
Every black person I know breathes it
So color me black

I know, for sure, black people live and die
I'm living, but will one day be dead
So color me black

Black people come from their mothers,
have sisters and brothers,
and really enjoy eating food
WOW! I am so black

But white people do all the same.
So color me white too?

I know I love me, my life and what I am becoming
Do black people love me?
Or do white people?
Hmm...I guess neither
So do not color me

I love black people and white people.
So color me grey.

Particular Me: Part I

she was a dancer
a little girl in the mirror
her mother did everything that she could

she wrote poetry
hoping somebody would hear her
but her cries were always misunderstood

"so what's your problem
you got everything one can ask for
so why don't you just leave the tears for the poor"

she felt so selfish
the only thing that made sense to her
was the pool of blood seeping through the carpet

Infinity

Infinity

It's all she ever wanted
It's all she ever will
She's made up her mind
and she's forfeit her time to stand still

A photograph,
of everlasting love
Along the path to my heart,
I stare at the stars above

This world is nothing to me
if i don't have her close,
I searched the universe
to be next to the one i love the most

I'm tired of this endless motion
I found what i want and need
I can die now, for she is the only one
who can make me bleed

She is all I ever wanted
She is al I ever will
I've made up my mind
and I forfeit my time to stand still.

My Life is a Masterpiece

My Life is a Masterpiece


It takes a mind
to wheel such emotion
This art intertwined
with devotion
So i beg of me
to let you go
It's the only way
my words will flow

As i swim
in a sea of depression
No one notices me,
no eyes in my direction
Eventually
i will drown
And you'll smile
as i go down

Tenderly I remove myself
This love is for nobody else
Free at last,
I can take my time
It's an art
to live your life

I can sing a song
off key
I can save the world
or i can let her be
I can love you
the way i should have
If i knew before
I swear i would have

You live...you die
You give love a try
In the end
you still don't know
Love will find you,
if you let love go
Free your mind and
just let go

Tenderly I remove myself
This love is for nobody else
Free at last
Just take your time
It's an art
to live your life

Lover and Child

Lover and Child

I've seen a woman suffer
because of the selfishness of another.
One I would call brother,
leaves her to be a single mother.
Child needs a father,
but momma's so mad,
she says, "Why bother,
I'll be your mother and your dad."

And because of this
the cycle continues.
Women do all the work,
and the men pretend to.
He knows that she wont leave,
because she loves him so much.
He leaves when he wants to leave,
and touch when he wants to touch.

He doesn't protect her,
just lust on her nectar.
Leaves her with his problems.
It is up to her to solve them,
While he chases his tail
in the street running wild.
She forever knows him well,
because he's her lover and her child.

King of Lions

King of Lions


Sprawling out of my Summer slumber
Waking Winter is my new wonder
Something about those stone cold eyes
staring through me seeking lies.
Sending chills,
unveiling my ills,
their icy glaze can turn prey to hunter.
With nothing to hide I cover my body
searching for the warmth
that once came so naturally.

The Winter has a wondrous way of working.
Chipping away at our lips and the ends of our hair.
Expecting the unexpected,
frozen expressions leave no joy in surprises.
And I enjoy being prepared.

All four chambers tightly closed shut,
making my release painfully easy.
There is no point in my running away
and I finally do not desire to hide.
My footprints will show you where I stay.
Come for me if you want to know the real me.
I will not budge when you raise your arms to strike.
Like the steam rising from a shingled rooftop,
Love will prove clearly in the skies
For even the King of Lions fell for the truth

Speak Easy

SPEAK EASY


Let's speak easy all today
Let the music softly play
Turn the heat on
and take your socks off halfway

Close the shades
to block the sun rays
Turn the coffee off
Let's be sleepy all day

Please leave a message
no phone calls today
Turn your brain off
but let your heart stay

We can wrap each other up
in our arms so simple
These are the moments we live for
I hope this day never ends
