Are you for real? Is this love I feel?
or is this a fallacy dressed as my reality,
and things of that nature.
We met in a place called cyberspace
soulful words so surreal and sweet that we had to meet and greet,
and things of that nature.
Throwing caution to the wind I dared to bend and
taste the fruits of the unknown.
It was exciting, delighting, and truly igniting - my mind was blown.
A smile likened to the sun, eyes that sparkled like black diamonds.
A face that could melt the coldest heart, lips sweeter than brown sugar.
The chiseled body of a Black Greek God - A Black Angel you say?
Enchanted me, Romanced me, Seduced me, Reduced me,
put that thang on me with a phallus that was definitely a reality,
and things from mother nature.
Alas, I departed with a sweet, sensuous kiss.
And you, my dear, will truly be missed as I reminisce
- until this way we come again,
and things of that nature.

Transitory Thought
I hear the sounds,
I feel the beats
but I'm unable to touch
where the two meet
Like a mime I'm unable to speak
Am I sleep walking?

I love Your Aura
You are my warmth when life makes me cold
You are the shelter my heart seeks when I've no place else to turn
You are the half that makes me whole.
You are my anchor when all around me is sinking sand
You are my certainty in times of doubt
You are my light in a room full of darkness
You are the love of my life the one I can't live without.
You are the voice of reason in the face of insanity
You are my destressor in times of strife
You are the hint of sun in the darkest of clouds
You are the positive motivating force in my life.

My True Love
You invade my thoughts when I try to shut down,
conjuring images of the erotic and hypnotic.
My desires overwhelm me...I want to take you
deep within myself until we are one.
My heart pounds with excitement at the thought of hearing your voice...
speaking my name, speaking our love.
You will speak words of the future...
happily ever after in your arms to be truly loved and adored.
Our past dictates our future...together, this is where we both belong.
I want to run to you open and free...of hurt, pain, doubt and betrayal.
I fear you - the unknown - but you soothe my soul and allay my fears with your tenderness.
I am calmed by the thoughts of what your love can do.
Yes, I will surrender myself to you emotionally, spiritually and physically...
I am a virgin because I have never been touched...
deep within my soul there is a yearning for that pure, unassuming, all consuming,
non-judgmental, purely simple that I had with him, with you...
my true love.

What You See Is...Me
i'm not the average girl in a video
and i ain't built like a supermodel
my worth is not determined by...
the length of my hair, or the style that i wear,
the size of my waist, or the freckles on my face,
the tone of my skin, or the skin that i'm in,
the color of my eyes, or the girth of my thighs,
the cup size of my bra - ooh la la!
when i look in the mirror yes i love what i see...
mother of a nation - God's magnificent creation.
self-assured, intelligent, sexy and free.
not perfect by any stretch,
but definitely a worthwhile catch.
so before you discount or dismiss,
depreciate my value or diss.
spend a few finding out what it is you'd miss.
take time to drink in the full bodied essence
and rich, exotic flavor of this libation.
and know that what you see...
God's child - self-assured, intelligent, sexy and free,
is truly a phenomenal woman and all me.

Cinderella's Song
invisible to the world.
What are your dreams and desires,
what sets your soul on fire?
Shy and withdrawn,
sad and forlorn.
Look at me - what do you see,
skinny, black, and ugly.
Heart of gold,
a tortured soul.
Longing to be accepted,
dismissed and rejected.
Never the pretty one,
life was never fun.
Always cast aside,
head still high with pride.
Life goes on - Despite the song.
What do you want to be - Just happy.

Judging Me
Tried on those perfect shoes of yours today
but they were way to big for me.
I guess since you stroll about so comfortably in them
they must be just the right fit for you.
Never did quite figure out how that perfection
thing works - been trying for a while now but can't seem to grasp it.
Tried to make improvements, but you see for as long as I can remember
my skin has been a bit to dark for someone,
my hair a bit to kinky for someone,
my lips a tad to full for someone,
my words not quite right for someone.
I guess it wouldn't matter and I really wouldn't care
what a stranger thought or had to say,
but a giant hole was torn in my heart
when those words came from you today.
No you haven't walked a mile in my shoes,
but you know my heart.
So for sure I thought you knew what
I was going through.
I was wrong to assume that you would understand
and empathize, comprehend and sympathize
but never once did I think you would hurtfully criticize.
But how could you not, when perfection is all about you
- so sorry it's not in me too.
I guess when I wasn't looking the facade was pulled away.
There are no pretty bows or silky ribbons on this package
- just the cold, hard truth of reality.
What you see is what you get.
So if perfection is what you seek then you need to say next!
Yes, your words cut like a jagged knife,
a wake up call of magnanimous proportions
reminding me that not matter what I say or what I do,
even those I love are going to judge me too.

In The Way
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the way
What I think
What I say
Where I stand
The way I behave.
Move to the right
oops, sorry I didn't mean to become a problem.
Move to the left
oops, sorry I didn't mean to upset your life.
Move forward
oops, sorry I didn't mean to be a burden.
Move back
oops, sorry I've stepped on your toes.
So I stand
perfectly still
in the spot
that I'm in
not moving, not talking, not thinking, not being.
Hoping not to cause any problems,
Hoping not to hurt any feelings,
Hoping not to say or do the wrong thing,
Hoping not to be noticed,
Hoping to be in-vis-ible.
Cause sometimes I feel like...I'm in the way.

Emotionally Bankrupt
I know I'm alive because I breathe
insolvent of emotions - Hope, Faith, Trust
Depression falls like misty rain
dampening my enthusiasm, soaking my soul.
I go to work and come home
spending days and nights alone
The echo of my voice is all I hear.
Caught in a space devoid of intimacy
and human touch - unable to cry or even scream
The stress on the psyche much to much.
Teetering between the abyss of happy and sad
comforting words temporarily soothe the soul,
but never make you whole.
Living life vicariously through what you see on tv
close my eyes - wishing, hoping, praying
for a minute it could be me.
They said, "You can have the brass ring too"
Once a believer - now suspect,
Looking to the future all I can see
broken promises and failed dreams.
Just in on the news 'Government Bailouts Rescue Big Businesses'
but who can bailout my Emotional Bankruptcy?
