Black Poetry : My Rosey Inner Circle

[Derrick Jay]

holding my rosey inner circle close to me
keeping guard over stolen affection
though mama told me time and time again
ghosts aren't lasting
but what does she know right?
i'm grown and on my own
ready to take part
holding on to that rosey inner circle
just in case they try to break my heart
walking with an unsure defiance
the rosey inner circle close to me
though sometimes i catch myself wondering
why it has me on my knees
i can't be fooled by slick talk
cause its my tool of defense
thanks to my rosey inner circle
i don't have to repent
i've seen it all before
thanks to my circle i've heard it too
knowing just what to do
when the transgressors knock at the door
i don't give them a chance
dismiss without taking a second look
my rosey inner circle said thats what needs to be done
i can't be deceived by innocent crooks
time and again i shut the door hard
my rosey inner circle my only friend
their love and tenderness i denied
quickly brought trickery to an end
my circle said its just fine
though night after night i still cried
then one afternoon i heard another lie
that sounded a lot like truth
my rosey inner circle said don't listen
you'll just get your emotions abused
this voice kept right on calling
said that my happiness was past yonder gate
i took that stroll with concerned hesitation
my rosey inner circle was screaming wait!
over the threshold i stepped uneasily
prepared to be knocked to the ground
to my surprise
and total happiness
true love is what i had found
i turned back to see my rosey inner circle
wanted to say goodbye
but it was too late
standing there in its place
was what was holding me all that time
fear, anger, lonliness and heartbreak...

oh DEE JAY!!!

my brotha, what words can I conjure from some other place to convey the depth I perceived from this masterpiece? Ohhh, you are delving into the corners of the heart and mind...those areas that keep the soul on lock...and we are none the wiser until we take a step, and then another, away from the former comforts of our private forests.

thank you brotha...thank you

yo

this was real son
you know sometimes when you get in a new relationship the other party wants you to cut everybody off not realizing you had a life b4 them

so hang on to your peeps
cause when it's all said and done
they'll be the ones in your corner


Peace From Da Streets
