Gray
The land of nowhere
Found tiptoeing
Between
Great heavy shadows
Holding hostage
Fearful what if’s
And the light
Bare naked brightness
Secrets once
Owned in terror
No more
Have power
Release
Peace
Freedom
Life

The breeze
Carried
My ancestor’s prayers
Eternal words of
Blessing
Breathed in
My first infant cry
Twined
With my DNA
We are forever one

There’s layers to my depths
And depths to my layers
Arrangements of silence, sounds, letters, words
Building, stacking, mounting
One pause, one syllable, one moment at a time
Spinning out from
My soul’s innermost core
Bursting into life
The moment they touch air
Traveling through galaxies
Beyond the universe
Beyond time

You will tell everyone
How you prayed
And how I answered
Love,

Look!
You see?
When you serve me
I will put you in places
You could not otherwise go
I will place you
In palaces you can’t afford

My soul
Is dead without you
You alone
Give it nourishment
Give it strength
To rise from my bed
Each new dawn

My little girl dreams
Are still cherished
By my woman’s heart
One day
Very soon
I know
They will be
My reality

And then the day came
When I stopped
I stopped
Dancing for a song
That never paid me dignity
And on that day
I said
I am significant
Then I reached out
And I took it
I took my worth
I took my grace
I took my respectability
I wrote my own song
This song
I can dance to
Proud

I am stepping
Into
The petticoats of my dreams
Sailing away
On winds of the fate
Towards
The lands
Where I truly belong

Every story
I’ve ever lived
Recorded by my
Beating heart
Speaks no language
Man can decode
Unless he looks
Into my eyes
Those windows
To the pages
Of my soul
It would take
His lifetime
And then some
To read
Carefully
Through them all

If I could bottle timeI’d bottleThe smoothness
Of my young beauty
Fresh on my facade
And only wear
Timely wisdom earned
That comes with
Fine lines
Gray hairs
Sagging breast & butt
Tucked away in my soul
Then again
Hidden inside
There’s be no testimony
Showcase God to the world
Of battles fought
Victories won
Knowledge learned
So instead
I’ll bottle time
Inside my soul & mind
Won’t matter
What the years tell
On my skin
Heart forever young
Then

They say love is a war
Fair or not
I say my heart’s stuck on you
Until my last breath
Beyond eternity
I’ll fight & pray for you

Running

Dripping
Off my fingertips
Born
To create
By my creator
Beauty

Truth or dare
Would you rather
Say I do
Sell me your soul
Live to see another day
Or die in this battle
To the hounds of Hell
I’ll release on you
Ha! Sucker!
Either way I own
Your destiny
So do you dare
Life or death with me

Don’t need you to be perfect
All I need is you to be the perfect man for me
Love me enough
To not want to live without my loving
You be the present & future
The one who makes my heartbeat sing
My smile glow
Secure in knowing you’re for real
No matter which way life goes

Because I love you
I go 10.000 extra miles & beyond
Only for you
Pray for you morning & night
Before I even think to pray for myself
My kindness is patience
I forgive you when I get angry
Be a fool or be wise to give you my best
Either way giving is my pleasure
All because I love you

With the stars
In my eyes
A million dollar baby
Even if
No one realized it
I knew it
The stars knew it
