Healer of the broken

Moonlight (White/ Gray)

I'll look at the moon
And I'll think of you
Cold, luminescent, beautiful
Mysterious
Is how I'll remember you
The way that your hair smells
Your beard scratching my skin
Your deep and passionate kiss
Your hands
They wander everywhere
And want to know everything
I'll think of you during eclipses
And blood moons
When the moonlight is reflecting off of the sun as it sets
I'll think of you
And your fascination with how small that we are
And how big that the world is
And how the sun blocks your view of the moon during the day
I'll think of how fragile that you are
How afraid of love that you get
How fearful of being left that you feel
How fast your heart was pounding as I laid on your chest that night
I'll think of you when I see the moon
In all of its glorious luminescence
Beautiful like you<...

Cycles and circles (Pink)

We ride life together

Hand in hand

Mouth to mouth

Resuscitate me

Awaken me

Instinct to love but the mind fights it

Your body betrays you

And then

We ride the Cycles

Together

And I ride in circles on you

Until

We're back to the beginning

And we begin

All over

Again

Is this what insanity feels like? 

Laughter

When I am lost the sound is unfamiliar 

It echoes from the depths of the soul

Into the pits of your stomach 

Up the shaft of your throat and booms from the mouth

I tilt my head backward

Like thunder it roars out of me

It feels so good 

Genuine 

No fake lols or lmaos 

With no smile 

No depth 

But real 

Authentic

Laughter

Composition of the bonnet

Did you know 

My hair has the strength of 10 men?

It can bend, straighten and revert back at the drop of water?

In the winter months 

Moisture deserts my hair like leaves fall from trees?

Who are we?

Yesterday two white men wearing MAGA hats stepped into a gas station in the center of the hood 

This particular gas station is known for its gun play 

Where people who look like me will shoot at me 

And people who look like me have been murdered for nothing 

Or less than.......

The hands who’ve slayed them have been brown 

We’ll shoot and kill each other like it’s the wild Wild West 

The only place that I feel safe is amongst my people 

But I am also in imminent danger amongst them as well? 

And no, I’m not saying kill the MAGA hat wearing fools who decided to purposely waltz into a store where they know that we’ll be 

I’m saying that ...

Here,

I stand,

Desolate, shrouded in anger, guilt and despair,

Is it too much to know your worth?

To know that you were meant for more than just pain.

I was meant for love

A love that is my own

A love that I deserve

One that will follow me until the end of time

Tap into my soul

I beg you daily, and you miss the chance to know me

To see the parts of me that aren't so beautiful

To see my tears,

Maybe wipe them sometimes

Hug me until they dry

Make me feel like everything will be ok for once

And that you'll be here

When there...

Lips don't lie? part 2

I poured myself a drink last night.

I never like to drink alone.

Rum for my broken soul

I hate text messages 

They are convenient 

but still.......

I have been waiting to see your face for 8 hours 

I pushed myself to come home 

To emptiness 

Because you are still not here

You have decided that you will be working late again

The hunt for an excusable alibi is like a game to you

Maybe you'll be going to the gym afterwards too?

Anything to keep you away 

Everyday you become more of a mystery 

I saw her name in your phone

The letters slid across the screen as if it were in slow motion

They taunted me

Enchanted me 

Asked me to call you for myself

And confirm what he will eventually deny

But how could he?&n...

Lips don't lie?

I read your mind the other day

 Didn't know if you had noticed

I think that the thoughts of her clouding your mind were so deep that you didn't even see  that I had quietly professor X'ed your a*s

What's she like Does she look like me?

Do we wear the same scent ?

I ask you what you're thinking

And your tone says of "her" But your mouth says to me

Nothing...

I tasted your lips They felt like home

But they are liars

Because they no longer speak my name Kiss my body Or even say hello without the stain of her lips splattered all over them

They belong to her now

I watched you mouth the words... I love you It was empty And void of any essence of the love that once beamed from you

Are you too nice to break my heart?

What about my bones?

Am I too nice?

I've noticed the moment that your eyes changed

Who do you...

Poetry Vibe

Free to be an angel of words

 Raining down wisdom or sorrows, or joy, or happiness or pain

Either way journeying through someone's mind

Through their thoughts

Their words

Their deepest emotions

Here,   I am able to be myself

No fears

No concerns of who may or may not read

Just grateful for the outlet

And so humbled by so many kind souls

Who look at me and see poet

When I just see me

I have never considered myself a poet

Or a writer I had no idea how confident that I'd become in a gift that has been bonded to my soul

I only know that here,

I am able to share with you all peices of myself

Exploration into my mind

In a land that feels like home

Thank you for creating this platform And allowing poets to roam so freely.

Pure passion

Woman, portal creator
Old tales do name no justice
Those who speak it
Are entranced by it
Not slavery
No enchantment
No Mischievous divination
Just the essence
Of a woman
Empress, Queen
Great mother
She speaks through them

Commands them

She is,

Part 1 of a creator that we have been molded after
Where they've  joined together
And planted seeds
There is no oneness in creation
No unification in breaking away the importance of two creators
Spiritually
Mindfully
We often flatter ourselves with the works of man
Thinking that we can e...
