Not far from here,
There is a magical mirror
Through which one can reflect
Vividly reflect at the past
Through which one can see
Vividly see the present
Through which one can glance
Vividly glance at the future
A mirror nothing but
*A well of poetry

Sequestered
Unrobe me
From my flesh;
Stripped and ripped
Down to my bones,
That I may be as
Plain as this boundlessness.

I render myself,
Just as I am to you;
Solely and wholly
Uncovered and unstuffed,
That I may be the only,
You behold in this moonlit realm.

I'm afraid someday
I'll get tired of trying
you make it so hard
to love you
& albeit I try my best,
each day
that wanes by
my best gets more
and more inadequate

& brings me closer to
that moment I loathe
the moment when I
crawl back to the shell,
that absurd moment
when I give up...*
I love you... but I'm
starting to doubt it means
anything to you anymore
& that doubt hurts me to
the core... I love you but
I hate being unsure...

I Love You

I say bless to the righteous minds
I pray you choke on your judgments,
never  leaving your lips
Yes knowledge, a turn on for sure
But stronger connections are formed
When based on where the heart is

I say Ashe to my enlightened people
And may Echu be with and within you
But cast stones at the glass of my home
& may the force be reversed against you

So say peace when we cross paths
Regardless of preference or class,
the energies you disperse will be returned
Love humans for being human
but all you're entitled to is the chance at life
Respect must still be earned

My blackness is lovely!! Wouldn't you agree?! It has taken me what felt like a lifetime to embrace the inner depths of me.... Yess! I've been searching for that little black girl hidden. my skin is brown... The  sun constantly sends sweet kisses in the form of rays....
Never lost always found, I am but the image of my creator.... A beaming star placed by the Devine on a crowned mother called earth. My name is Nubian ....
SHE is a Goddess; her walk, her words, her features, her presence: Powerful! The way she uses her eyes, to speak the words her lips can't utter. Her body is the language of Love from a mother; SHE is a Goddess, yours.
eye am mesmerized by your eyes, your wide nose, &plum;; lips. Your skin like chocolate; that melts in the mouth &charges; in the sun. Your mind is power; so full of lies, turned into truth.. Knowing what the world is so blind to see. Your strength; from carrying the negativity that the world has thrown upon you! Yet you still go on. You're needed, you're wanted, you're important to us! Without you we cannot build a foundation strong enough for our little ones to grow.. You're a God; black men, know thyself!
look into my eyes, tell me what you see? Do you see the pain, hurt, or just the tears that fall down my cheeks!!?!
Eye try to smile; as if all is well.. But deep down inside: eye need to Rebel.
You've created This fire inside, it's burning me up!

Look into my eyes; ...

I love I do,
Truly can't wait to set my eye's upon you,
I've been waiting on this day for as long as I could Imagine,
To say loving you will be my number one passion,
I want to cuddle and protect you from the world,
Rather your my hansom son, or my beautiful baby girl,
Times has changed and so will people,
I will cherish you as if you were born in a steeple,
You will be my light at the end of the tunnel,
With you by my side there isn't anything that can cause me to trumble,
For I will be
your protector,
your provider,
your mentor,
your friend,
I will try my best to shield you from all those who choose to harm you,
Until my body turns cold and blue,
My love I encourage thee to strive for things in life,
Live without hate nor strife,

For you will forever have changed my life

Love is nothing but
a nicely penned palindrome poem
that needs not to be plagiarized
as it will loose its allure

A thousand years across the sea,
With you is where i want to be;
A thousand voices from outer space,
But only your words matter to me;

A million things i've earned in life,
Only your love i can't repay;
A million wrongs i've done to you,
I wonder why i'm loved this way;

A billion choices that i have made,
None of them's right like choosing you;
A billion friends i still can make,
None of them's worth more than you;

A trillion tears can roll down my face,
From hurting you to my disgrace;
A trillion pieces has my heart been split,
A trillion more you stayed to put it in place;

A zillion things i'll do for you,
Now its time to start anew;
A zillion worth of purest gold,
Nothing ever compares to you.
I love this poem. As i composed it, it droped like honey from my soul.

As you sleep tonight,
Dream of me as your prince,
Recall the lovely day we had,
And you will find real peace;

As you breath softly,
Let every breath say smoothly,
Every single letter of my name,
Then your sleep will flow nicely;

As you turn around,
Imagine the  feel of my skin on yours,
Move to touch me even more,
You will see that this isnt a loss;

As you blink and smile,
Let it be because of me,
My gentleness and love for you,
One dedicated to you eternally.

If I could speak with the old me
The first thing I would do is give her a hug
No one understands her pain like I do
I would dry her eyes full with tears
She has cried enough due to pain
Only tears that should be shed are of happiness
I would tell her to watch out for a certain guy
He caused a lot of unwanted problems
But she'll make it through
Finally, I would tell her to hold her head up high, her shoulders back
A queen wouldn't want her crown to slip
It's the new and improved me writing this to my former self
