Why Brotha?


Why brotha do you swear so much?/


Why brotha are you quick to anger and even quicker to mistrust?/


Why do speak to your tender flower like a whore?
Why do you think openly expressing your emotions are gay?/


How come when your burden down with problems you turn to the bottle instread of pray?/


Why brotha do you blame the white man for all your short comings in life?/


Why do feel you must kill another to earn your stripes?/


Why is it that you have the craving to sleep with any woman you can find; yet are not truly content until you have bedded mine?/


Why educated brotha do you call me a thug?/


Why older brotha won't you show your younger brotha love?/


Why brotha are you so brazen, so arrogant, so bold?


Why brotha do you lack a zest for life?


Why brotha are you so damn cold?

Free


I am flowing yet steady,/ idle yet ready./ I soar highly and cannot be tamed.





My energy is infinaite and cannot be drained. my thoughts are my own./ I face every challenge I meet head on,and will never flee. I claim and conquer my destiny./ for I am free.


(MJ inspired)

untitled


I'm like steel./ cold and hard/ I never express how I feel.




flowers bloom/ infant children become fully grown.
time pasees.
season change.




I get older/ and yet reamin unchanged and all alone.

Here I come


She becons unto me./ I respond post haste./ I see my future all over her face./ hypnotic eyes./





Supple lips./tender embrace./enchating kiss. silken hair./ ever so elegant as she glides on.





Currents of air. such poise./ such grace./ you are my idea of perfection./ I want to keep you near and safe at all times./


If I have to ascend a moutain to get to you I will climb.


I've tried to find things that compare to your beauty, yet I have found none.


You radiate beauty like rays of light from the the sun.


You've cast your spell on me./ I bend to your will completely./ If you demand me to be responsible./ I welcome the challenge and will not run.





If you will have me and are in the mood for love. wait no longer./ here I come.

Queen mother

It has been a few years since you've passed.



It's been a few years since I've truly laughed. You gave me so much in life.



yet loosing you still cuts like a knife./ I pray to the lord for strength to make it through the day.




Oh mother how long to hear your voice, taste your delicious food./ even get yelled at by you when your in a foul mood./




You taught me so many lessons about life and pride.
Oh mother how I long to be by your side.




As long as I remain here I'll live life to no end./ make every day count, and all memories last./
I'll be every bit of the man you raised me to be.




I'll tackle all life's challenges with courage, stand tall, and will not flee.




I'll smile every day and remain strong because that is how I know you would want it to be.

You never





You never gave me a chance to love you./


You never let me how you how hard I'm willing to fight for you./


I'd concede that I was wrong even though we both new I was right.


I was faithful and loyal to no end./


A great lover ./


An excellent friend./


It saddens me that I could not make you mine./


I respect your decision and wish well in your new life./


Just remember, If he ever mistreats you./ You know where I'll be.

You'll never have to ask for anything all my love is free./

I'll be here for you though bright skies or stormy weather.

Will I ever leave your side?

No. never.

"conquer"


I feel the sun's rays beaming on my face.




I long for the day when I can leave this place.




I let my thoughts mist freely like the morning dew.




Inhale freedom, exhale blue.




I know I have a calling yet I see no clear path.




I want to chase it desperately, but also elude failure's wrath.




I want to quaff the sweet nectar of victory.




Silence all that is negative and force them to listen to me, and solve life's mystery.




Then fade softly into lateness, all the while believing and fighting for greatness.
