Hey Little Black Girl

Hey little black girl keep your head up and walk proud the ghetto cant break you 
and the hood cant make you who you are stay storng little black girl keep faith walk 
the walk of proud sisters talk the talk of black queens a man cant define you and a 
man cant break you hey little black girl only the strong survive like the color of your 
skin that runs like the blood in your body deep like the waves in your hair look up 
little black girl you only have to be you not them they or he can change that no 
tears little black girl your beautiful you'll see love yourself first and others will follow

When Night Comes

when the night comes and the moon 
calls me i have to go                             
              
i battle the skeletons that have ahold 
of me and wont let go                           
         
crying and begging them to let me 
have life they refuse the night is 
calling              
you have to go prowling the streets 
like the lines in the road                            
looking for a lover who has no soul 
some one to feed me clouds from 
the sky             
some one to play the drums to the 
tune in my head i want to go to mars 
and you sir 
can take me                                                                                                            
torn between whats real and what 
isnt my bodys going numb i love the 
sensation 
this feeling that comes when 
darkness arrives                                    
                    
the moon laughs cause from this 
night i cant hide                                     
discombobulated and frustrated i 
may be                                                                     
i need to get out of here cause this 
aint me                                                        
crying and cussing about what i use 
to be                                                               
but now the night and moon light 
has a hold on me                                   
            
this life that i live by myself with no 
one else to tell                                                      
hiding secerts and lies like i work for 
the government                                                  
i need help and i know it but im 
scared  scared of the awkard stares 
scared of the 
whispers scared of the opinions 
scared of jugdements                                                
i will do it but im going into the night 
one last time                                                 
this time to many im fading fast my 
body is numb                                                      
the skeletons grab me their not 
letting me go this time they are 
taking me with 
them                                                                                                                          
as i cry to the sky while the sun 
breaks the moon                                                        
i see life i see light i see joy no more 
pain no more rain                                           
the sun is smiling shining bright go 
with the moon it is to late

How Deep Is Love Vixen

This feeling buried under my skin when love hits me makes me itch like a fein for 
dope I dont know how to explain the things that love will have you doing 
somethings become to deep so I ask my self how deep is love some times it can 
have you on a cloud like your floating so easy to bring you down like walls in a 
building being demolished so what can love bring you in this world but pain mistrust 
jealousy and hate but they say love is like chocolate sweet rich good satisfying or 
could it be me as I watch those in love hold hands dancing to the tunes that loving 
someone brings their soul are satisfied their smiles reveal love their laughs reveal 
lust so I again ask myself is it me maybe those who have tried to love me I have 
broken them to the point that love didnt matter anymore am I that blind that I cant 
see love in front of me tyrone said loving me was harder than predicting the 
weather laughing as I dug deeper into his soul eating his love feeding my lust with 
his feelings so how deep is love deeper then I have been digging detroying lives as 
I moved on to the next playing as I loved to love those who were loving me they 
were blind to see the vixen as she came to seek and detroy love so how deep is 
love I use to believe love was a gift but to love does not mean love I AM the VIXEN 
OF LOVE I AM the VIXEN OF LUST I love to lust AND LUST LOVES TO LOVE ME WE ARE 
ONE thats how deep my love goes

There Is a Price Material Girl

I gave her 1 wish and 1 wish only
 I gave her what her heart desired 
Look at her walking like she has theme music playing
carrying her gucci bag with her prada shoes on
      looking for a man to buy her love 
         she needs a rich man like a drug 
her lexus speeding threw the red lights 
rules dont apply in her life 
married man divorced man it doesnt matter 
with who ever the money comes faster
            diamonds pearls trips to paris
theres a price to be paid money chaser 
with all the sex lies and lavish life
      tonight you  will pay the price
nothing in life is free material girl
so I will take what matters with just few words
NO GLITZ NO GLAMOUR NO PRETTY FACE ALL THINGS YOU HAD WILL BE ERASED
now your just like everyone else
later they found her hanging from a shelf

Long Walk

Long walk from the park as the night stretches far as the eye can see
far as the trees branches 
long walk when coming to you seems forever and a day when i need you
forever takes my breathe away
long walk to your love our maybe to your heart
or maybe to your mind
long walk from the park when you walk alone 
with thoughts to yourself
long walk from the park what a beautiful night 
to walk alone

Lost and Found

Im lost in this darkness this 
world of destruction my brother 
is not my brother and our 
mother loves us not running 
with many only a few with 
flashlights who will make it to 
the light as the night grows 
stronger I feel as if I'm weaker  
laughing with those who laugh 
at me and not with me we can 
not be friends because no one 
knows what that is anymore I 
can not love because I haven't 
felt it before I can not give you 
truth because no one showed 
me how, I can not care for you 
because Im careless for self i 
am running alone in this 
darkness with many running too 
some have flashlights but while 
running i open my eyes realizing 
it was never dark eyes wide 
shut is what my grandmother 
says find love in yourself child 
let pain and anger go i feel like 
I've been alone for a long time 
all the while god was with me 
the whole time, i gave my mind 
to the streets my body to those 
not deserving my heart to those 
who didn't need it, they came 
and gone ripping me into pieces 
i found comfort in sin with all 
the sinners but he saved me 
because I'm worth it to him 
GOD came into my room while i 
laid in the dark drugged up and 
drunk and he kissed me and 
said my child NO PAIN, I LOVE 
YOU EVEN THO YOU DONT LOVE 
YOU I HAVENT GIVEN YOU 
ANYTHING I DIDNT FEEL YOU 
COULD HANDLE, my mother 
killed herself, my husband was 
murdered in front of me what 
do i have to live for why not run 
threw darkness no one cares 
how i feel inside they take i 
give, YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE 
USE IT, but it was a dream or 
was it i have opened my eyes 
wide open i feel i am loved i am 
worth it i am blessed!!!!!!

Brothers Killing Brothers

Now picture this I am going to give you readers a piece of me not fanasty but realist 
come and take a walk with me stay for a while this poem is called brothers killing 
brothers for a reason you will see I bared my heart in this one you''ll read I cried the 
whole time as I typed this piece sit back and relax and enjoy what you read 
everything is put on earth for a reason and some days I feel poetrysoup was put 
here just for me to put the things that rambles threw my mind down with no one to 
see but just to hear me and with some poems to feel me

BROTHERS KILLING BROTHERS
I thought we were all on the same page yall said when Obama came there would 
be change Now that day has come and gone things still remain the same I see 
change but change is for the worst My brothers killing brothers how this hurts 
Taking lives for no reason at all Trying to live life like lyrics in a song Maybe those 
who are reading dont understand So lets go a little deeper You cant see tears 
running down my eyes so I have to make this poem cry Oct 8 2011 my life was 
taken As I held my friend my lover my kids father in my arms in the driveway of or 
house on the black pavement that is now stained red As my children stood in the 
door screaming for their dad Who am I to comfort at this time them him or me
Brothers killing brothers man how it hurts It hurts me more knowing that every 
minute of the day another family is going threw the same thing
As I held my loved one fighting for air the screaming the crying is to much to bare I 
told him to hold on and fight for our kids I told him I loved him and all that he has 
did I looked up to the sky and cried to GOD I understand if you must take him But 
you blessed me with his presence and grace and being able to love him and know 
him is a blessing as my tears dropped onto his face his pupils dilated and he took 
his last breathe But in my mind he was still breathing and his pulse was strong my 
heart couldnt let him go but god took him home That night his friend took his life 
over a arguement in front of our house 
Brothers killing brothers

My Tickle Spot

He comes and goes like a thief in the night
Pinching and tickling the bottoms of my feet 
It might be irrelevant but its relevant to me
That he takes out time from heaven to still pick with me

He comes and goes like a thief in the night
To show me he still loves me and we are his life
Sometimes I watch my children sleep as they lay in bed 
Laughing, smiling, and giggling in their sleep while wiggling their feet
I know he is here I can feel him around

He comes and goes like a theif in the night
To play with our soul and tickle our sheilds
No tears just smiles for one more night
So I declare war with the light
I'd rather be here waiting in the night
so he can find my tickle spots for one more night


LOVE YOU ALWAYS PAT MICHEAL NEITHER HERE NOR THERe MY LOVE WILL FIND YOU

Unable To Breathe

Time stopped 
my heart stops 
my pulse fades 
in and out I go as we cross paths
 like we were destined to lock eyes 
you took my breathe when you 
walked away
 my heart stopped beating and your 
lips can start its rhythm 
I'm needing you 
not knowing you
 as we pass in daily living moments
I wonder why we cant speak
Your voice could be so beautiful
Not knowing 
Im always left wondering if i could 
relax your spirit 
Wondering do you believe in love
Left wondering
Why cant i speak with words
My bodys talking loud 
But i.....
Nothing comes out
As we pass in a day 
in a moment 
Unable to breathe
 i wish you could....
give me.....
that oxygen i need 
Unable to breathe
Unable to seem interested
Unable to feel 
Numb.....
Unable to breathe when you smile
I'll stop breathing for that moment
Holding my breathe
Unable to smile back as we pass in 
that moment.....
Inhaling.....

What I Am

i am a strong black women 
 curves likes roads going up mountains
breast full to fill the bellies of my babies 
 hips wide like rivers
 skin like carmel candy
 a smile to stop clouds in the sky
 hair thick like oatmeal 
pride strong like hurricane winds
 I am woman
 no matter the color 
 point is I am her
 WOMAN
strong smart loving mother lover wife sister daughter WOMAN
