Melanin
The darker the berry the sweeter the seeds
plant them because you sow what you reap.
My skin is magical you see...for I am a special kind of breed.
When I'm in the sun my melanin boils, plus heat is good for my ***** coils.
A shade darker I've just became...
From honey brown to a cocoa shade.
Time to untwist my bantu knots and free my natural fro.
The curly crown of victory as my melanin glows. I strut through the grasslands in tune with my inner goddess. My legs are thick and long, so now its time to flaunt this.
shaking my hair from left to right & pump my fist in the air.
Wish I was alive in the civil rights, but then I wouldn't be hear.
People they envy my complexion, they wish they had my perfection. But honestly you can't hate on something God gave.
Melanin queen, you reign in the lands.
Zion queen, lets do a foreign dance.
Melanin runs within my veins and pores.
Melanin I love to be, I'm wading
in the shores.

burnt brass
skin so dark, glowing so light
melanin within you intrigues my fire
I look upon your chocolate blessing me with grace
I use my tongue to runneth down
your smooth brown face .

Untitled
abandoned by her mother and father
to take on this cold world alone
no voice left in my throat
to sing the melodies in the song
such a strong girl, yet I break down every night
never forgive you, you let me take on this fight
by myself, without your help
salvation is what I seek
I call your phone one hundred times
leaving voicemails that pled
yet you still don't seem to care
I face my hard times desolate
deserted, this life is hurting
me, myself, and I
why can't I overcome the trials.
just want to be put to sleep
internally in peace

3 lines, 2 bars each
The only heaven I'll be sent to
is when I'm alone with you

angelic strength you give to me
even distance still it's you I seek

open wounds I leave to bleed
that's what your absence does to me

K&Q
K&Q
chemicals releasing in the air
24 hour clock
harmful hazardous is what we call them
it's called pollution of sin.

see everybody wants to win
but nobody wants to put in work.
silly black folks, step up your bars
we've come to far.

no more excuses, no more lack.
its time to take our royalty back.
I shall hear no complaints
Kings & Queens where hear
to REIGN !!!!

victory
front and centered
about face
warriors unite
& win thy race
captivity is no more
a mire illusion of a mindless roar
subconsciously I'm fearless
reincarnation of a lioness
crawling from the abyss
of nightmares & terror
knowing that you here
knowing that you hear
knowing that you heard
my silent weeps into the night
no more freight
its always been alright
traveling through a dark tunnel, yet I see the light
keep going, keep on a going
victory is mine.

o u r .............bond ♥
and so we all crave.....
that bond that just won't break
so strong it last oh so long
notes that hit every beat in the song
the song of my heart sings for you
like "la la la la da dee do" ♥

that bond that last a lifetime
love that made it to hear the church bells chime
a bond that wipes each others eyes after we cry
a bond that was sent from up in the sky
a bond that never ever lies
a bond that makes you better your life
a bond that makes it to the other side
a bond that kills all the strife

a bond so beautiful & unique
others wonder what type of love we seek
the love we poses is so rare
like African jewels in your hair

a bond so tight
that we can fight all through the night
and when the day comes again
the sun shines bright as we still are best friends

lovers and friends, a bond that never ends
a bond that makes you question
"where you been?"
all my life I had to fight
a bond that make me feel alright

I crave our bond..

Queen of hearts
My spirit is unhappy
It hates my human body
It hates all the ego's
& People who act ******
It says it's to painful  
It was easier in heaven
I forget my original form
Human body be forgetting
That my purple spirit so pure
Came from the golden door
Sent down to my mother's womb
To save all the doomed
Such a purpose placed upon me  
Such a life I have lived
Still it's things I cannot see
My spirit is what I give
But being human is too hard
In the game of solitaire
Queen of hearts, pull my card
Figured out my mission
List of prophets, new addition
Human body set me free
To The Gods that reign above me

instinct
Your love ascended on me fearlessly.
I had no choice but to fall in love with your voice.
And all the loudness in my thoughts
your voice was the only one I sought.

Your love descended from me after a while.
rare connections separated.
all the times I meditated, hoping you come back down
my biggest fear awaits...your nowhere to be found.

Now your love is teaching me how to heal and be free.
There's no need to fear I'm always right here.
so I went with my instinct and let you be.
Trusting with all my soul that you'd make it back home
but you got lost and I must let you go. Go back to where you
came... I learned my lesson anyways.
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTINCT

only with you
I just want a new love
so pure & true
so beautiful it'll have me say "I do"
when he drops to one knee & give me that ring
my pupil shall overflow with tears of joy
cuz the journey of love has so much in store

what a dream, oh what a dream
so young but I crave consistency.
is it a crime to want to be loved all the time?????
why oh why must you judge me all?

Hopes of a family so large & so strong
unity and love in every song
so every little face resembles mine
& every little smile resembles yours
what a dream I adore

but only with you . ♥

mute
silence is the best remedy
for stress when life gets to heavy
closed mouth is the smartest way
an ever escape from the hurt and pain
sometimes we talk to much
causing the hurt to our selves
but if we keep our thoughts in our mind
then we wouldn't have to worry or cry
when things get hard
silently pray
have hope things will be okay
closing my mouth forever more
the muteness that I endure
quiet one

universal smiles
chakra's picking up some vibrations
sensing that everything's changing
right before my purest eyes
wiping away my soulful cries
.............................................
atmosphere is shifting right
cuz you been doing it all right
listening to all the rules
knowing it was you he choose
...............................................
chosen one of all the lands
makes you want to smile a bit
all part of a master plan
kept you at his old right hand
.................................................
sit back and start to receive
everything's not what it seems
surely you will soon start to see
the universe smiles back to me

it's alright
early dawn
as the sun reaches the peak
of the cold blue lake
and the little birdies squeak
I look upon my blessing as I hear your voice speak
"good morning my love, guess it wasn't a dream"
last night was an miraculous night we redeem
redemption at its finest, our souls finally unite
baptized tears from my eyes
assurance I'll be alright
its humorous to imagine I never thought it come
waking up with you to the reddish, morning sun
the best is saved for last
a story so divine
when you plant your lips on my kiss
I start to turn alive
my lover and my brother
my best, and my last
writing masterpieces
still our love is contrast
& nobody poses what we have been blessed with
I hear you in my mind
whispering "it's alright"

gravity
I tickle my index
down your appendix
embraced in your arms
so don't be alarmed
"do you feel that?"
gravity is pulling us
closer

Exchange
Violet sunset in the sky, why must you leave us? exchange for night.
A sweet transition for darkness is soothing, it is the time that we are all
snoozing.

Dreaming of a better place where everyone is awfully safe.
praying nightmares don't occur & you know the tables always turn.
Creepers creeping in the shadows, lurking for prey there hearts so
hallow.

empty insides I can relate to that. makes you go black & you rarely turn back. Moon so shiny & unique, lighting up the navy blue clouds
for thousands of miles.

Tiny stars all over; twinkle twinkle little light .. won't you shine your light so bright? Tying lovers as one until we finally see the sun.
once again the perfect exchange.........we finally see the day
again.

i breathe you
your inner child

baptize your mind  
to be with you
hoping its you and i

money hunger
people think money will hide there ugly ways
believing they're above you cuz they call themselves "paid"
your as sorry as a cockroach, time to grab the raid
cuz money ain't change gone change the heartless look in your gaze
& we all know that money was part of the big trade
the devil has your soul, something he now owns
your swimming in the green, you think your problems gone
but money ain't the answer or the melody to the song.

Don't Go
The most painful thing about suicide is your taking your life before its time.
Everyone thinks its alright...until you actually die.
You could've lived a full life, but you couldn't handle the trials.
Now I'll be the first to admit, life can get hard. You go through some
things that will leave you scarred.
You get tough & **** it up, guess we'll call it tough love. That's me & how I handle the uncertainties..........
"will it ever get better? will I make it out this weather?"
some people just leave a letter, saying why they did it &
what they couldn't deal with.
Leaving there loved ones torn and broken......it's usually the ones
that are so outspoken.  
So talented and smart, who loves from the heart.  Those are the ones in pain in the dark.  I just want to say.......
I can understand and relate. I know life gets too heavy. But please hear me out, when your all dried out like a drought.....
say a prayer through your lips cuz its not one word that God can miss.
I promise he'll get you out of this, don't give up so quick. Every  minute of unbearable pain changes you. You mature and you learn your limits, what you can & can't do. God has a plan too. If you give up you  won't see the brighter side. Cuz light kills darkness.

again
a nightmare so fearful
crashing down with lightning
teardrops flowing rapidly
gripping the covers frightfully.

seeking salvation
come to my rescue
danger is near
& my heart so gentle

i'm skeptical of the next move
risking my life is no option
a stern restriction to my thoughts
guess its a warning from my conscience

should i listen to the noise
coming internally to me
should i make a run for it
fearing my life i may never see?

.....again

one day
As the globe spins
the fear extinguished from within
using my paper & pen
reminiscing on all the things we could've been.

Still I smell your scent
at sunrise and sunset
the leaves fall from the trees
to know autumn is inset

we skipped summer cuz it seemed pointless
wish we would argue less
maybe then I'd prove my point

you never listened to my cries
still I listened to your lies
the only sound you heard of mine
was the cracking in my spine

breaking my back for you
going out my way
just to see the smile appear on your face
one more day

but now as I awaken from the naïve dream
I glance around in agony
cuz your not hear with me
all the hope vanished
& my little faith shall leave

cuz life is full of lessons
& painful times of grieve
so if its in a divine plan
one so big I can't conceive

the universe is on my side
wiping each tear as I cry
hoping one day I'll be alright .

one day

— The End —
