Why
I sense its one angel of intellect walking around
Who can tell me why love is
And why water feels wet,
Tell me why those clouds stay so high in the sky,
And why that sun ain’t skipped a day yet,
Tell me why all we do everyday is try to survive,
Just to make sure we die happy…
in our last breathe. pg 1
Love Chain
A plain guy sits in the dark full of love,
And chases the simple girl,
The simple girl chases the average guy,
The average guy chases the fancy girl,
And the fancy girl then chases the wealthy man-
As he sits on his throne, smokes his cigar,
As a sexy woman occasionally strokes his sexual appetite. pg 8
"Where do you fall? Whom are you chasing?
Whom are you taking for granted?
What truly matters in your life?"
Thou
There is heaven
There is earth
In between
Are you
To-
Master thy worth. pg 106

Nike
I am who I am.
If my existence upsets you
That is between you,
and GOD.
Whomever, those I not know of your existence
Or those who roam close
Loved ones,
And those who posses my same genetic codes
However it may stem.
Identify,
My strength comes from GOD.
And,
My triumphs are never intended-
to offend.
Humanly I observe,
As in instant,
My spirit admonishes your hates.
Unaffected,
My life remains.
I represent,
What GOD purposely creates.
But maybe,
If you’re lucky,
May I die at the hands of you. pg 121

Him
“People are asking me where am I getting
all this happiness from,
I say,
It’s from my lover’s eyes.”
I woke up and laid in bed just listening to him voice in the other
room. And the sound of him as my man sets my soul on fire each day.
I love how him dresses rugged with slide on sandals on a ordinary
day, baby faced and edged-up each day, walking around the house.....
...... through the seasons. Him knows how to balance his career, have
amazing fun with family, friends, and his friends, and yet still gives
me superior quality time again and again. And I love how him treats
other people as he walks into a room and warm it up instantly with
him jovial personality and charm. I also love how him encourages
me to dress sexy, and get adorably mad and jealous when other guys
are looking at me. I love how him continues to impress me daily,
teaches me something new habitually, points out the truth on many
things genuinely, flirts all day, and yet cusses me out only when very
very necessarily. I love how him asks me a question, gives me a
scenario, and draws his own conclusion. I love how him walks with
him head high; fearing only god, believing this world is all his and
everything that’s in it. He comes into the bedroom breaking my stare
and snags at the bedroom covers saying, “baby you need to get your a%$
up out of bed- I’m hungry!”, winking his eye flirtatiously signifying
pleasure from the night before, usually a forewarning?! I only know
that I love him, I love him, I love him, and everything about him,
and with him I want to make this journey and spend the rest of my
life. (pg 6 full version)

Power House
As I was growing up I watched her
Identified with the things I considered her weaknesses,
Things I hated about her
Things I would never do,
All the things in my life I would change.
I decided on the circumstances that I would never allow myself to
go
through,
Kept an eye on her actions,
Had frustration from some of her motives too-
I just couldn’t understand.
But time does fly fast,
And my turn surely did come,
I stubbornly learned I had to change,
Or I would live in this world miserable,
From trying to co-exist with him equally;
And so untamed.
Now I understand her decisions,
And the sacrifices she made.
And now I find,
As a woman…some things can never change.
So I concentrate on being the woman,
And moreover-
Allowing my man, to be the man. pg 3
My Family's Worst Enemy
"How do I…
Love you,
Hate you,
Adore you,
Fear you,
Require you,
And desire you all in the same moment."
My dear family’s worst enemy
Husband of mine, you are him
The man I love, my dear friend
Father of my child
King of our all
Our everything
And you are our GREATEST THREAT
If ever a secret life you fetch
Our sanity I hope you do protect
For our motivation to be in this world
Roots from your love
My dear family’s worst enemy. pg 78
Favorite Mistakes
Another,
Favorite!
Yet desired mistake.
He believes love is here at stake
All of his love and concentration I will rake
And all over again I get to indulge in loves irony!
I can’t spare him for his sweet lovability’s sake
For he is so young and sweet, cute but fragile, and adores me
Why do I have to ruin him jeopardizing his love for any other
woman at
stake?
I’m doing it again…
Enjoying another one of my favorite mistakes. pg 34

Sweet Home
I revive in this place
And freely I roam
In these walls I secure my mental
In these walls I restore my soul to tranquil
Cocooned am I from the spin of times shrill
Outside these doors I do go,
I must live.
Over the tallest of mountains
And through the thickest of sands
Regardless of the new day,
Or if the weather is agreeing with sun
Restored is my spirit,
Upon my return. pg 83

Run Away Slave
Slave I was
Slave I had to be
They had their plans that ran the lands,
But I found the key
Sweet for your fields I was,
Sweet for you fields I will no longer be
Ain’t leaving it no secret for the others
Ain’t using no underground railroads to flee
Watch how you start loosing “them”,
Take count slave master- you’ll see
Watch these runaway slaves at ease walk away
Watch these runaway slaves talents- still get “PLAY”
Runaway slaves will now be roaming the lands freely
Watched these markets explode,
Many times because of the
Profit “was” all for you,
Your slave I had to be
You got some scared,
But it don’t apply to me
I was never to scared to be the first
The first, to runaway. pg 116
