About Me

My poetry is my connect to the minds, hearts, bodies, and souls of those that lend their ear to hear my words. My words are more than just nouns and verbs, they ricochet off streets and curbs to meet those that deserve to live and since I’m not yet blessed to give life I give birth to the verse that can change one first. So for those that thirst to be quenched with the lyrical water that flows when these lips part welcome to the art of [poetry].

My Interests

Everything You Need to Know about Me... You Learned in this PoemYou simply asked me “Tell me about yourself” I was at a loss for words. Brain malfunction Thoughts stopped. Tongue started. Then this spits out: Well I’m a cookies and cream eating, Hot dog in the microwave heating Only sound good singing (in the shower) Which can last up to half an hour Piano playing, spoken word saying, Bill paying, every day and night praying, Hoping not to get left while trying to get right Who makes love not war, so I don’t like to fight Unless I have to, but I’ve never been pushed Like to be held, but never smooshed I like to play games but not the childish ones Only the ones that lead to fun I can be a bitch in the morning and a train wreck later But by the end of the night you’ll love me (Unless you’re a hater) I’m addicted to music; music is my life I can be described as what you want in a wife The one girl who’s not primarily attracted to the lime light A vertically challenged- You know that means I’m short right? Guitar Hero lover, quick with the hands Don’t have enough money to keep in rubber bands [But I’m content.] Old enough to give consent But only give it to those for whom it’s meant Will cum on cue if you find my spot Can name any song you ever forgot Radiohead, Uptown bread Almost lost my head When I moved down here Contact-wearing so my vision’s unclear Don’t mind falling or I’ll never learn how to get up But can catch myself slipping, and use a pick-me-up Used to be poor, but didn’t even know it Don’t know how my mom didn’t even show it Love to walk on untraveled roads Accustomed to carrying a heavy load Not broad shouldered, but can be your support Not a loser, but definitely a good sport Write much better than I can speak Not afraid to admit when I’m weak A hopeless romantic and a daydreamer Very intelligent, but not a schemer Like to listen, love to laugh Dedicated to perfecting my craft Determined to make it despite what people say Refuse (if you’re worth it) to let you slip away Just like love, I’m patient and kind But sometimes indecisive and like to change my mind Sometimes I’m random, but I can make good conversation A wishful thinker destined to live in a world of vacations When I sleep I like to curl up like a cat And nothing feels better than you wrapped around my back I think they call it spooning, but to me it feels like bowl Something to fill you up and make you feel whole I choose pens over pencils, cuz in life you can’t erase your mistakes Not pessimistic, but I always seem to get tough breaks So I don’t believe in luck; everything happens for a reason Maybe it’s not my time; it’s not yet my season I do believe in God, and no I won’t push my faith on you But will introduce you, if you allow me to I am full of life, but not of bull I’ll give you a push, but I won’t pull I’m quick to listen, slow to talk Won’t say I’ll do it if I know I can’t walk the walk I won’t ask questions if I can’t handle the truth I don’t listen to rumors if I don’t have proof Fuck gossip. I learned that back in junior high On average 89.4% of what you hear is a lie I always look for the light in a situation I feel like every day I wake up is worth a celebration I’ve learned that my word really is my bond now. I’ve never reneged on one single vow When it comes to men, I don’t have a “type” When it comes to my thoughts, they’re not controlled by the hype I’m a sophomore in college paying for knowledge A hug-giving, life-living, fun-loving, 19 almost 20 yr. old Who knows how to break the mold, Cut a rug, catch a lightening bug, Cook, clean, in the lines read between Daredevil, action-seeking Window-peaking, late night bed-squeaking Give you my all, don’t really know how But love to play ball, or any sport for that matter Wasn’t given a spoon on a silver platter Down to earth, observant since birth Skittle poppin’, Dance non-stopping Reese’s peanut butter cup inhaling, Chex mix trailing Mind over matter, Heart over head thinking Can be the opposite but sometimes shy Not conceited but think I’m kind of fly Building confidence, have both book and common sense Maybe a freak, but you won’t know unless I let you Have a hard time opening up But once I do I swear you could never get enough Not an alcoholic, but like to have fun Breaks every single “rule of thumb” Not a cat, but like the chase Say anything about you to your face Listener of the quiet storm Does things outside the norm Beautiful on the inside and you can judge the out Try not to get into anything I can’t get myself out Nine fruits of the spirit possessing Don’t have time for self second guessing Half Black, Half everything else that mixed to create my complexion Sometimes scared of rejection, Yearn for protection Can’t help but want to show affection Choose peace &happiness over a Mercedes Used to be girl, but now call myself Lady.

I'd like to meet:

I was born in Syracuse, NY. and raised by my mother who struggled to fight a crack addiction and my big brother. These two people along with my grandparents are my heroes. My biological father left when I was 2 years old and although he kept in touch at times he lived 16 hours away so my brother was the man of the house. Not only was he my brother; he was my best friend, my father, my everything I ever needed him to be and I love and adore him for that. My mother was diagnosed with cancer on May 9, 1988 when I was born. The doctors told her she'd be lucky to see me make it past kindergarten and gave her a 5 year life span. The only thing I ever heard her repeatedly pray to God for was to see me graduate. I graduated May 21,2006. My mother passed on July 27, 2006. Do the math...Amen. This is one of the many reasons I trust in God so deeply and nobody could ever make me doubt my spirituality. I've witnessed miracles face to face. I came to Atlanta, GA for a new start. I am currently paying my own way through college because I do value education and I can't reach my goals without it. The rest of my life is a work in progress...

This gives me a chance to answer personal questions. If you send an appropriate question to my inbox and I feel my response may be useful to others, I will post the question and answers here.Q2: "If you could write an autobiography, what would you title it and why?" [from: J.U.S.T.I.F.Y.] A: This is a really good one! I'm still contemplating on an answer...Q1:"Why the name 'Small Talk'?" [from: XavierCantBeTopped] A: Besides the obvious fact that I'm small in stature and I was blessed with the gift of gab; Small Talk refers to my style of poetry. Rather than "utilizing self-aggrandizing nomenclature" I use simple words. My pet peeve is the sterotypical poet that uses unnecessary large words and a thousand metaphors to the point that they lose the audience. I value simplicity. Like "real talk" that's [.Small.Talk.]

Movies:

OMNI is what happened when six talented wordsmiths came together to combine their skills into one pure and impactful artistic package. The name OMNI comes from the nature of the content and makeup of the group. We are ALL 6 completely different people with completely different styles, perspectives, flows, and talents. We talk about ALL subjects with ALL the fire it could ever be delivered with and with ALL our different talents we’re sure we’ll catch ALL your attention. When you’re about to catch an OMNI performance you won't just get straight spoken word the whole way through. You may be caressed by the sounds of a guitar from one or more of three group members (Sharod, Kiera, or Chris). You may catch a beat produced by Bias, Dixon, or Allen behind worthwhile words and every now and then some singing will be heard. You may hear voices parted in harmony only to be connected to the melody complimented by more strings if Bias’ violin decides to sing or a piano may start to ring see it’s quite entertaining we do it ALL.Check us out: http://www.myspace.com/omnipoets
