What you have to understand about me, is that I grew up with Nappy Hair. Fortunately, this was during the time when kinky, curly, NAPPY hair was celebrated! It was a time where my nappy hair was free to be Nappy. I never liked...
Once upon this time
In a galaxy
Just off some city's Martin Luther King Blvd
There lived a not so lil girl
Who hadn't discovered her Black Girl Magic
She was was an Aladdin's lamp
Their were three blind mice
DayDay or Manny or Killer B
Rats anyway
They rubbed on her
She the genie
Answering...
Oh how I wish
My hips swished
In ways
Re missed of times
Before The Transatlantic Slave Trade
Arms Lift
In perfect Praise
Extended to God
Shod in original rhythmic blues
Melodic fuel
Legs lift high
Toes kiss sky
Fly and soar
Never leaving the floor
Hands Heaven High
Eye in Awe
Sigh in Chest...
One taste of his tongue
I was undone

Numb
Like uncut cocaine
Pushed my sleeves up
To let him in
Like Straight shoot
Heroin to vein
My last nerve
Reserved
I craved him
Deep within
Buggin wide eye
Like crack fiend
Looking
Longing
For my next cum up
Tried others
But he my drug of choice...
I kiss him
When I'm with him
Because I miss him
When I'm not
Just the thought of
His lips
His hips
His gentle manly grips upon mine
I kiss him
Because the rhythm of our heartbeats
Are Intertwined with love...
He is my kiss
( A piece written for the Healing Peace)
Who is willing
To seek and be the Community Healing
Stop the violence from stealing our daughters and sons
Who is willing to stop the senseless killing of our young ones
Stand until we overcome the darkness and become the Healing Light
Prepared NOT to...
HIV has no Authority!
It's living within, but ain't paid no rent
Devouring my Tcell Nutrients
Invites stigma and ignorance
It pulls at my heart leaving empty spaces Outsmarted by traces of viral load
Boldly chases my lovers
Erases the faces of those who discover
HIV lives with me
But it...
My mind wraps around my mind
Keeping rhythm and rhyme out of the rotation
Discriminating on scribbles and crayon thoughts
I can taste how hungry I am for thought
Thirsty for another 100 proof shot
Avoiding caught searching for high in low places
There are traces of my wing...
