Hardworking like Ogun
But you're definitely Chango
Alluring and charming
I'm enchanted by your word flow
Infatuated by the way your words wrap around my soul
Your essence is worth far more than pure gold
Your lashes kiss your skin
Like the horizon and sea
Reuniting after years of absent sun
Your eyes are like limpid pools of desire waiting to draw me in
So mesmerizing, I'm stuck in a trace
That I don't want to end
Your smile is comforting like the warmth of spring
Your laugh brings me joy
It's like hearing the canaries sing
And your skin...
Infused with melanin
Soft, fine and lustrous
Your deep brown skin
You're the heat of summer's fire
There is no one I desire...
But you

Fascinating song in harmony made me its slave
Playing in a loop, I got it on replay
I'll give you my violin playing soul and all of its alluring notes
I'll submerge you in my aura soft as rose petals in spring coats
The garden is my body and the river is my soul
It's all for you, you make me feel whole
When the garden is vacant, you plant all the seeds
Removing all of the weeds
Giving it the solicitude that it needs
At the river, you love to stay
Is this a dream?
I surely don't want to wake
I can gaze at you all day
Capturing the beautiful essence of your face
I awakened to a yellow canary singing me a song
Fluttering oh so freely all morning long
Graciously you linger, I can't help but stare
Fluttering oh so freely without a care
When I look into your eyes I see the light blue skies
When you look into mine you see the sun shining bright
My Anthurium, you feel like home
You've given me a love I've never known
Your heart beats in sync with my own
You make me feel like I can do anything
You make me feel like a winner
You love me when the world doesn't
To you, I'm more than just a sinner

AmeriKKKa, AmeriKKKa
How beautiful is she?
Land of the whites, land of the free
Our ancestors built this country off of the strength of their backs
And for nothing, we get ridiculed and attacked
Wounded by society, weeping justice and singing our plight
Blasting ravenous fists in the air with all of our might
Raging voices at the top of our lungs saying "Fight!!!"
But for what? Black lives don't matter here
In AmeriKKKa, they splatter here
White man's reign of terror, got us living in constant fear
Blood splatter everywhere, they got blood on their hands
Unarmed black man riddled with bullets while complying to commands
But AmeriKKKa is great right?
AmeriKKKa, AmeriKKKa!
She was never great
This is the land of injustice and the land of hate

Pain begats pain begats mo pain
series, succession. string, sequence
-a chain
I'd like to pretend that I was surprised
but I cannot feign
-ignorance
woven intricately into the fabric that is me
-it courses through my veins
I realize that it sounds inane
maybe even a little insane
but it is what it is
and what it is
-is a stain
It's so hard to abstain
from feeling and inflicting this pain
this same pain that's been ingrained
from the generations before
-they opened that door and
lacked the knowledge or strength to obtain
the necessary tools to annihilate and decimate
the entrance into things
that would
devastate, level and obliterate
their children and their children and their children and
-my children
On my campaign to feel less pain
I entertain the demons
Mary Jane and *******
In my inebriated state, I was unable to ascertain
the damage that I'd added to my heart and brain
Nothing eased the pain or the shame
All that I had left was the pain
the pain
the pain
So, there I stood
beating my chest and screaming toward heaven
...praying for rain...

The sun bestowed it's golden rays as it tickled my sweet skin
Basking in melanin
I move ever so freely with the wind
Flowers in my hair flutter and dance with the breeze
I am one with nature
I am one with the trees
The earth's heart beats in harmony with my own
Shining so bright with a light I've never shown
The gentle wind sings smoothly through the trees like lullaby
I flutter ever so freely like a rainbow colored butterfly
With an aura as radiant as the sun
I come second to none
And as I enter the magic realm
Nature and I become one
With joy in my heart
And peace in my soul
I am balanced and in full control

Your voice is calming like a whisper from the wind
Beautiful like an angelic choir
You bring me joy, just being with you makes me vibrate higher
Your essence is as beautiful as a rainbow after a summer rain
You're like a potent drug, numbing away all of my pain
All of our moments are wrapped in lace
I'm in pure bliss whenever I'm in your space
Your words make love to my ears
I can spend eternity listening to all of your thoughts and your fears
Your strength is like a lightning bolt
Followed by a loud crash and a thunderous roar
You're the power behind a strong breeze, an anchor cast on shore
Your heart is the deepest cavern, like a goldmine set on fire
And when I'm wrapped in your arms, you take me beyond the clouds
You take me higher
Your aura is a beautiful hue
A brilliant shade of yellow
You brighten my blue
You're my violet in the sun
With a love as graceful as a swan
You're my blue dream
With a vibe so peaceful
Like a dandelion blowing in summer's breeze
Your violet benevolence is gentle swaying and soft whistling
Like tree leaves in the wind
Violet Au Soleil, my love for you has no end

my love for you
is the wildest rivers of my poetry
where the night melts into
oblivion and all i can feel is your
love, devouring me, desiring me,
uncovering me, until
i am but blood and bone,
a bluesy wind instrument
serenading the skies.
in your love everything that
i need, every tender star
a bird gliding in
the night, moon-ful,
soulful, wrapped in silvering
dream. climb, climb to the
running hills where i’ll reach you,
leave me burning feverish
and excited, wrap me in your love.

Conform through the storm
But never change your form
No matter how broken
No matter how torn
No matter how much they hurt you
No matter if they may abandon
Or desert you
Never change your form
Love yourself enough to let go of anything that makes you feel less in life
It is not selfish to cut off toxic people or things that cause you pain or strife
Love yourself enough to believe that you are capable of achieving greatness
Love yourself enough to realize that you are wonderful
You are resilient
You are gracious
Be yourself and never trade in your identity just to be accepted
Never conform to society's norms just to be respected

Depression is when you feel nothing at all
Anxiety is when you feel entirely too much
It's like a constant wrestling match inside of my head
I'm ready to tap out, for I have had enough
I am bombarded by a cacophony of demonic voices inside of my head
Telling me that I am not good enough
Or that I am better off dead
"Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourself" they say
Do you people really think that I like feeling this way?
In a state of general unhappiness or despondency
Depressed
Suffering from anxiety, sorrow, or pain
Distressed
On the inside I feel dead
I'm tired of people saying that it is all in my head
Sanity kissed me passing on depression
Who later became my new best friend
From feeling happy to angry to extremely sad
It's a reoccurring cycle that will never end
Depression doesn't come in waves
It feels like a whole ocean
And these days I'm drowning
In a deep sea of emotions

Some days I wish I was a kid again
Memories so sweet
Sugar coated with cinnamon
Used to spend all night watching orange cassette tapes
Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil on their great escapades
Used to wish I had Max and Emmy's magic dragon scale
I always wondered what it was like being in a dragon tale
Imagination was all that I had
I used to talk to myself
People thought I'd gone mad
I always dreamed of palaces on pallets
I even fell down the rabbit hole a couple of times with Alice
I shut reality up and went straight to Dreamland
I was happy alone
I didn't need a friend
It was easier being a kid
Oblivious to all of the struggles that my mother hid
I know it will never be the same
It's crazy how fast things change
I wish I could go back in time
Back when everything was alright
