Black & beautiful
So whole..so..so perfect
Magical, just magical
My African beauty
African girl

She walks with grace,calm like a gazelle
Her slim beautiful feet bare, touching fine green grass
She smiles,beautiful white teeth exposed
A smile so calming

Perfect,I wouldn't change a thing
African beauty so worthy
Worthy of love & praise
I wouldn't bleach a pinch,
Cause she is African
Beauty so Perfect

Nerves....
Hearts beating
Like a drum sounding
Doo do doo do
Aaaahh...I cry out
Its not pain...its fear

A million eyes watching
Murmurs in the crowd
Wat if I forget the words..
Wat if the lines don't rhyme

Ts time...lights are out in the crowd
Only a spotlight stands--all eyes on me..
I begin to recite
All fear gone
Am lost in the rhymes and rhythm
Am done!!!
They r all up...the love it
Started writing this before and completed it after a recital...

So done
Am done crying over u
Done waiting by the window for you
Am done lying to myself & my friends that your the one yet in truth you ain't
So tired of having to pretend you love me yet I no in truth that you don't
Am done with you

World's greatest
Brenda Nalugo Oct 2018
He was the world's greatest poet
He wrote his words not in ink but blood ,not on paper but onto the heart
He was a true poet,the greatest

He wrote rhymes so lovely onto my heart
Lines that were so beautiful,so deep he engraved onto the centre of my life
That which beats to keep me going

I loved him
His name was a sweet melody
Rhyme & rhythm....all of it
His touch..his touch was like a beautiful piece
So fulfilling, so full of emotions & meaning
He was the world's greatest

So great,he was so great
He wrote onto my heart...wrote to hard...I fell too hard
Even the greatest poet hit a block
He wrote no more...inspiration lost
He left..left me with a heart full of his work
A heart in which he had engraved so many promises

He promised forever but left before tomorrow set in
Still he was the world's greatest poet
Because--Poets use their work to express emotions in a moment.. When the moment passes...its now a piece with memory
I was in a moment.. A piece..and now a memory to him
Yet he lives still for me in the present as the world's greatest poet
This piece was inspired by a title to someone's poem @Erica C-Dont trust a poets words
The story behind is not directly true but the emotions are all real
Feeling of betrayal.. Holding on...
So much more hope you love it
Thanks Erica
