Sunrise Sparkling with the glint of sunrise The sun’s red-orange hue Somehow turns me blue Because it wasn’t so long ago the sunrise Was in your eyes, giving me my morning view As I awakened from a night of passion To glimpses of sunlight that laps The lapses of the moon’s radiance underneath Your eyelashes; Wondering if I still hold that dream in your eyes But what is visible Is the glistening dew Resembling tears of the day we separated Like mist turning into a trickle, then a drop falling I wanted to cry but my eyes did not give in …

O black woman, do you know who you are? It is you for whom the birds sing when the dawn opens itself for inspection. It is the glow in your eyes that the stars imitate when they sparkle. It is the color of your flava that makes the rainbow dull in comparison, and it is via your beauty that we can physically witness God’s artistry.-Gibran- • O black woman, do you know who you are? You are the secret that only reveals itself when a man is truly ready to experience the joy of having his dream transformed into reality. You are God’s private blessing to men who know what to do within the point between birth and death. To dwell within the kingdom of YOU is where heaven be…

This is poem I didn't post the first time. Rape You raped me stole thoughts and feelings I had hidden releasing inhibitions, feelings imbibed in my spirit warm, wet, fetishes like your tongue parting my lips invading my soul making me victim to love a word too simple to describe my feelings of your penetration ejaculated rhythm a pain so sweet it's syrupy, sticky-jismish glow stains sheets every tomorrow I'm alone

Curves touched pressed into mine, your hand slowly moving along the arch of my spine. A tiny gap appears between my thighs, a twist of my lips; it is a glimpse of moments that have you asking why. A pair of large breast pointed up toward the sky, silk wrapped mounds are the reflection of my hips in your eyes. Caressing the back of the neck, the tasting of earlobes are a thought to reflect. Exploring the essence of the whine as it create its own lyrics begging to not be alone, Tongues intertwine to dance in one place as your hand …

He called it a bribe. So what did he have on me? What information could he use that would have me thinking it a fair exchange. He wanted what I had but I didn’t know clearly what it was and his innocence he maintained, I couldn’t figure out in the complexity of that moment how I could ransom my soul, Considering I was in the dark and was thinking, I need to know what is that he knows. The payoff seemed high for a puzzled incomplete, I was toying with my imagination when contemplation said you’re into deep. I stood at the entrance trying to understand how had I get myself in such a mess. The settlement he requested I th…

The Talking Centipede A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to a Bible meeting with him. So he asked the centipede in the box,"Would you like to go to a House of Worship with me today? We will have a good time." But there was no answer from his new pet.. This bothered him a bit, b…

Love For Ancestors By St_Clinton I find it amazing the lack of Love We have for our Ancestors in the Black community today. I wonder what our Ancestors would have to say if they heard the words that we use today. We use a word today Which brought Terror in the form of the KKK But walk and listen in any community today and you will hear the word used during the night and during the day Each time that I hear someone use that word today. I realize that they are spitting on the grave of Martin, Malcolm, Harriet, Marcus, Jesse Owens, Paul Robeson, Jack Johnson, Rosa Parks Sojo…

HER Even now, years later, I still wonder what gave me the right to think that I deserved her. How foolish was it of me to somehow start, all of a sudden, to believing in miracles. Yet, I did…….because of her. Because of her, I so willingly surrendered to the mistaken notion that ‘my day had finally come’, that I, of all persons, now stood wonderfully perched on the beginning of my ‘happily ever after. Damn, it all felt so good, so right, and so real. And what was she thinking? Did she know that if she had truly permitted me to possess her, how strange a couple we would have made: an angel and a mortal!
