you hit me and hurt me
and often mistook
my fear or my terror
for an insolent look

you shook me and broke me
straight down to my bones
you spit and you mocked me
'til I gave up hope

your words they could cut
just as bad as that book
that you threw at my face
while your dinner got cooked

but the day that I left you,
the cutting was mine
your voice on the phone
couldn't hold back your slime

i remember you screaming
i remember you crying
i remember your voice as
it changed on the line

you whined and demanded
the few things that i took;
you ended the chapter
*oh, but i burned the book.
leaving an abusive relationship was the most difficult thing i've ever done - but not a single day passes without gratitude that i had the courage to get out and move onto a much better, healthier, more beautiful life.
Till you can’t walk
Till you are sore,
Yet still smiling
from the thrilling experience,
Till you are sweating pleasure
from every pore.
Till your breath murmurs
my first name with every inhale
Till my voice is the only sound
your ears need to hear.

i would
rest my head on your breast
and listen
Enjoy the sweet tunes composed by
every noted word you harmonize

Tales of your life stories before they became entwined with mine
Narratives about your dreams
About who breaks your glassy heart
And what tickles your eye-ducts
into opening a flood of tears.

an inner world of wishes
she deserves beautiful things,
The Nubian Queen,
Sunflower Child.

There are days when you want to cry and days where you can just do it.
                                           This is one of those days.

There are times when you feel the way, and times when you see the way.
                                           I know the way.

So come to me dear friend, I love you like no other.
Come to me and turn from friend to beloved brother.

I know what you are going through. I have felt this way before.
You want it to be over, your heart is so sore.

I will do what I can to help you heal.
So, don't push it away, but let yourself feel.
To my friend Philip:)
