Grateful to have a voice
Next time, I want to be loved for all of me Not just lashes and lips No, not my ears and eyes that so seamlessly breathe new meaning to life No, no I want to be loved for the crusts of me The thick and thin of me (Baby there ain't no thin of me) Just ripely thick honest sweetly raw delight. Which is precisely how I want to be loved Through thick and thin Bring strength and nourishment, Challenge both body and mind with thought and compassion Night and day, day and night, Light and dark, Good and works in progress... Will not be told "too much you ask for" No, that jus means I too much Woman for you. Get back at me when you can relate I'm out.

My Wants
Not Woman, I die If you don't see me I gone. You don't feel me, Between your arms Between my legs. You could never sing me Your no woman, no cry. Without tongue, without touch How is a Woman to know she is wanted? Without tongue, without touch A Good Woman continues the dance Enjoying the curves and crevices She possesses. Without tongue but with cheek. No Woman, no cry.

What I am
You tease me I needs to free me Koz you fear to be thee Rejected, you don't know me Distance kept completely Unsure if I want a chance to show you what could be I stepped aside Koz you hurt deeply Striving to heal I released thee Afraid I not enuf And lose you harder I chose to run Too bad when it wasn't fully real Never fully healed Because I hid it from myself Rejection too true to speak Of course you wouldn't choose me And I unarmed to watch you love another That way I know you'd love your lover I couldn't smell her on your smile Become less and less significant to your other And justly so. I wouldn't watch I chose to leave I choose to be free Won't have the energy to break away whole again

Too true
I must leave you to be whole again And by leave, I mean lose you For - you can't be the standard no other can raise to And me left woke and untouched.

Move from me
The truth you tried to hide from me Had to hear from my heart that cried to me Neither of us thought I, good enuf And my heart would not face, your face To hear as much. The truth I could not hide from you Felt like I had lied to me Not much less you For far too many a sun rise. That I could want any less than all of you What other reason do I need to ask to be with you Put simply, I crave the smell of you, Or how painless life is when I'm with you? And so I pour all that passion, cardimom and care for you and our union Into the arms of another Who will inevitably get crushed under the weight of such power and clutter. To early seen unknown and known too late, Was meant for no purpose but you.

The Purge
The Head is dead Not much to be said. We jump and wave, Jump and wave. The Head is dead No tears be shed. We jump and wave, Jump and wave. My only love disposed of by your mindless hate. Now.. If the Head be dead.. No mo' fear led. We jump and wave, Jump and wave. Like when ****** dead We rest easy in our beds, Then jump and wave, Jump and wave.

Sweet relief
Because I don't have the time to be solely defined by colour or race. Or my lack of religion or any such faith. It's just not my problem: you choose to turn your hurt into hate It's a universal solitary struggle my brutha - handle yours, it soon waste. Koz I love my passion and my spice And my language that breathes life, Into me and that's who I is and will continue to grow into being. If I get the time koz the man keeps tryin' to stop me at the sight of my race???!?!! What an inane battle and human disgrace.

I will have my cake and eat it
What about me? I nurture you. So then... what about me? The us we possess erodes without my touch Pieces get lost, Harder and harder to replace. Is this for you? It's not for me. What's happening to us
