A P O E TNOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS
H A D IT N O T BEEN F O R YOUR P O T E N T I A L
I needed you when my eyes were filled with hopelessness
I wanted you when my stomach felt the lonesomeness
that my heart yielded I loved you when you knew not your potential
and understood not ours if we were together
I thought you were the Duke of Ellington
And that you would elect me to be your Lena Horne
Together we would have made melodies
At the cotton club for generations
Instead you suspend my love for you
By developing a thang for something new
As you breath self pity
and exhale heartache for your oppression
As a black man know that
I needed you when the stakes of life were to much of a gamble
I wanted you when my heart was numb because of the pain
and through it all I would have loved you
As long as you’re potential remained
U T I T I L E D
Mocha, hazelnut, cocoa brown ancient as the ruins of Africa
Your scent lingers in my soul
As I close my eyes I feel your peace rebirthed within mine
Succulent are your lips as I dream in your eyes
I see beautiful seeds
Of children that together we birthed in blissful matrimony
It is true
I can feel you inside me
As we lay
Always together I pray that I will see you again
In my dreams why must you stay?
Rejuvenated am I each day
Thanking heaven for your array
In my soul is where you must stay
Dreams of this a king
You will reign forever more
Your queen am I
As I lay
As I lay
UNLOVING MAN
Unsure what to do or say
I simply call on the Lord to help me decipher the truth
I’ve given you more than enough chances to straighten up and fly right
I’ve lost myself through all the pain you’ve cost me
I’ve even forgotten how to live with just me
Your love I quarantine without sensible thought
Sometimes I question if like the lion you need a heart
If so I would have gone to OZ for you
and conquered my fears of the witch
But instead I look in your eyes as you call me a dumb bitch
Words of you loving me amounted to nothing
Because your actions gave me a heartache that only another love could oppress
I pray you never experience the pain I feel
and that the daughter you conceived while we were together only gets a good deal
of a badly dealt hand
With God’s love she will withstand
the serenity of an unloving man
SINCERITY
Beauty as apropos as the land of Mozambique
Eyes so gentile that even a baby without his mother feels safe
A perfection that only God could procure
It is here that light ends and darkness begins
Where the sun meets the moon and commands an epiphany
At this very moment with eyes closed and
Heart opened it is here that you will find my love,
here that you will find peace
and here that you will find sincerity
