Where is my Lil Sister? I saw her walking to school. I hear her silent whispers.  " I'm gone too soon! " Mom drove to the store, and she didnt return. We still wait like always, with desperate heartburn. OUR INDIGENOUS WOMEN ARE MURDERED AND MISSING! North America and O Canada, No one cares to listen So to our tribal Matriarchs, we say "Do  nada*." Auntie walked into the woods, she wanted to get an herb. Now we go where she stood, she hasnt been seen or heard. Who took them away and why? We mourn their disappearance. We ask Mother Earth and Father Sky for our Intertribal quest prominence. Until they leave no more, and we stomp grass again together, Our Sacred feminine core, Turtle Island's own precious Flower.

Death comes quickly now with deceit Azrael's swift ****** and repeat No time even to check his receipts Where is the forty days' notice? Covid. the Avatar's fatal diagnosis Perpetual mourning is our daily hymn As we dance to the Viral god's rhythm No end to these incessant chords Or spiraling treatment algorithms    A requiem for the abundant life force taken Unceasing cantata from the earth's broken The dark composition's erratic notes Orchestrated death, or science hoax? We don't need fireworks to end the year But answers and solutions to our fears Ring the world's religious bells instead For a shrouded New Years lies ahead Peace to the departed too soon Winter 2021

Love's Vacation
I had a vision of you at my bedside just checking on me? I tried to wake but couldn't as you touched my gown and gazed at my face. Behind my closed eyelids I felt your love, that you used to give sporadically. Because you see in Black & White And I see in Color. I phoned you the next morning in the rain, on my way to care for those dying. The fight gone from your voice, and too early to think of all the reasons not to speak with me, you said I love you too. I know and knew this to be true that which keeps us apart is that you see in Black & White and I see in Color. I called to say I love you, miss you here if you need me. You're my responsibility too. Although you acknowledge my utterances, you were afraid to act on them. Because we know that you see in Black & White and I see in Color. We know this isn't about faith, really it's because I've always seen in Color and you in hues of grey. It was nice to see you at my bed even if a dream, but isn't it ironic? Dreaming only in shades of Black & White When the spectrum of the Highest Al Khaliq created Color Winter 2020

Shades of Black & White
Leavin' aint always gone Because your soul cries out in confusion Cries out in anger's anger Cries out in protest Leavin' ain't always gone It's just harder to seek reason Harder to make insanity sane Harder to make the wrong right Leavin' ain't always gone Because the loss of life opens pain Opens the past anxiety Opens healed over wounds Leavin' ain't always gone Just finding a new resonance Finding a new resistance Finding its strength in numbers Cause leavin' ain't always gone When it's buried For Trayvon Martin 2012

Leavin' Ain't Always Gone
Everyday in every way You are familiar to me. When You hold my hand and our fingers search for that special touch. That's familiar When You look at me and our eyes get a glimpse of our souls. That's familiar When You hold me close and our bodies melt like hot wax. That's familiar When Your desire meets mine and for that moment our passion is King. That's familiar When i think of You nothing else seems to matter and that is also becoming familiar Spring 2015

Familiar
How do I say no to my heart? When my mind says he's no good. And I know I should forget: His face His touch His kiss His smile His walk His voice His love He did me wrong I know When all I did was good When all I did was love him When all I wanted was a touch It didn't seem too much to ask. How do I forget him? When I slept with him: ate with him cooked for him shared with him made love with him And talked about life until the wee hours of the morning. Why is it so hard for my mind to agree with my heart? I see pictures of us together and I long for the times when he was near The times he kept me from harm: held me tight took me out wrapped me in his arms cried with me in bed And yet I cant let it happen again.

No Heart
I have a burning desire deep inside me to feel your skin contact mine your loving arms surrounding my body Why wont you hold me? I have a burning desire deep inside me to kiss your lips, to have your tongue push through my smile. Why wont you kiss me? I have a burning desire deep inside me to have you tickle my knees, to have your hands caress my ******* Why wont you feel me? I have a burning desire deep inside me to feel your tongue deep between my thighs. Discovering what makes me go Oooh. Why wont you taste me? I have a burning desire deep inside me to make love to you, to have our body language speak. Why wont you take me? I have a burning desire deep inside me, to make your soul tingle with passion and deep love. You are my lover Why wont you satisfy me? Tsuliena Spring
