"complextion" poems
The body has spoken
The words it shall be
With a mind quiet
Limbs of peace
The ears have witnessed
The abdomen saw
With pointed hairs
Sticking straight foward
The legs have held
The feet kept still
With water as reflextion
Captured possession
Fishing net
Little boy
Man child
The body has spoken
The sunrise it shall see
With Earth quiet
Quiet as if free
The teeth have mentioned
The gums chattered ease
With phrases
Filled mazes
Circling round
Garden tiles
The body has spoken
The feet drifted miles
The ears whispered memories
With wind beating drums
The abdomen clinched
The legs trembled
The teeth strained
The gums
Gums
Gums
With numbing echoes
Waters reflection
Simple complextion
Love is possesion
Quiet
Free
Your body has spoken
Spoken
To me...

Your tricky,
But I continue to go along with your silly games
Pretending all I see is you
That I can't see your ugly
If you only knew
Your complextion, sweet like honey
Your eyes, piercing
But soft
I walk past you
as if I don't think about those eyes as soon as I wake
How can I let you know?
Am I suppose to let you in?
If I do, I know you'll hurt me
Not now, but maybe later
Your asking me to give you my heart
How?
Will you give me your's?
Do I even want yours?
Probably
So i'll wait
Untill the day you come to your senses
The day you realize that i'm all yours
That I want no one else
Even with your ugly
Even with your games
I can feel your sincerity
When you hold me
I can smell it
I want you to want me
But for now I want you , so
Pretend were just friends
Even though, when we kiss
We know we're more
Why comlicate a sweet thing?
I think to myself
Is all of this worth it?

Eyes as jewels in the sun
every facet alive like fire
a complextion of snow come
in early parts of winter
as seasons start to turn
with the slow passing tide
I ask you so plainly
where will you reside
hold my hand
through spring and fall
winters chill
can do no harm
the sun seems to hide
inside your embrace
I cant bring myself to just
freeze

Defined as the very darkest colour
like night or coal.
A colour used to define us,
to undermine and determine us.
Killed for wearing a hoodie.
Killed for breathing and being.
Our ''black'' blood is poured into white painted mugs
and when it can no more,
it spills over.
Our ''black'' blood is littered on the streets of THE BRONX.
All these injustice are slapped onto newspapers,
a few blogs and protests
but the justice system is never put to tests.
My black is beautiful.
My complextion has already granded me a million dollar tan,
my thirsty dry *** hair defies humidity.
My black beauty is earned NOT GRANTED
does not lose confidence when challenged.
My black is beautiful
therefore powerful
My black is swagg therefore never wag.

Just another bad memory to add to my collection.
Another poison to my soul, adding white to my complextion that is only shown by my reflection.

Morning pushes through the night
Cold and dreary gray
Wind tickling the leaves
Ready to play.
Floating thick across the sun
Clouds impatient to be lighter
Snow begins its slow decent
Falling in pretty flutters.
From the north it comes
Darkening the skies
Blowing with full force
Its might enough to terrify.
Snowflakes grow to size
Whipping all around
As though the sky were falling
Spring a blizzard has found.
Alas earth was prepared
Warming for green
No hope for the snow
Just a pretty drama scene.
Tick Ticking slowly onward
Early afternoon creeps on
Forcing the clouds to waft away
Settling down to a chilly breeze.
Sunshine breaks through
A pleasant heat added to the cold
First truly long day of spring
Dragging slowly forward.
Reminding winter it must rest
Settled comfortably up high
The sun delays its decent
Waiting late into the night
Before sharing the colors of sunset.
Knowing the late hour
Moon hits its highest peak
Wasting no time
Spreading glowing moonbeams.
Stars splayed all about
Sparkling in a perfect clear sky
Rustling leaves in the wind
Lulling all with their sweet lullaby.
Yelling in defiance
Sun and earth align
Casting a shadow dark
On moons special time.
Sliver by sliver
They overpower its shine
Bringing true darkness
To a calm peaceful night.
As the moons cries out
Pleading for life
Only one will step up
Defend moons right to the night.
Mars arcs gracefully through the sky
Planning a fierce attack
Hesitating only once
At the sound of a childs cry.
Pausing to glance about
Seeing only moons reflection
A crystal clear lake whispers
See in me a beautiful solution.
Mars approaches moon
Coming from behind
Sharing his complextion
Their glows well combined.
Earth and sun soon realize
Little competition they put up
For moon and mars together
Dominate the black sky
Blood red and tempting
Eclipse no longer a threat
They lingered for awhile
Glowing crimson
As on no other night.
Stars twinkling bright,
Earth watching in wonder,
Sun slinking back to day,
Mars bidding farewell,
Moon spread his moonbeams
All was well.
