Yonce

There is freedom in her beauty. A confidence that comforts me deep in my soul. I am in awe. Purely. She may as well be flying, I cannot take my eyes from her wings that spread wide as the sky. Her song is deep and disciplined; at her command. The places in my gut that ache she shares and makes words where there were none. It's as if we've known each other before. Pieces of our souls belong to one another. So extraordinary but reachable through the humanity in her eyes. A sadness a deepness that resonates with me. It is within me. Sadness within the womb of woman, scars on the heart always leave behind more than ruined tissue. She gets that. She gets me. A superstar, the world cannot take their eyes off her. She is a flame, the view of the ground from the roof. Inarguably gorgeous, striking whether in her bare feet or the latest fashion. Her sexy is audacious, admirably we watch, when it's over we are inspired to be sexier. With a flip of big hair she becomes demure without parting with her sexiness. She is what woman is. So feminine while so in charge. The stage rumbles underneath her feet. She smiles into the crowd. A smile that the millions of dollars of lights behind her cannot compete with.
A smile that speaks
Saying... there is no place she eos rather be.
Her love of melody of sing of the release that comes with belting out your feelings becomes my love. We are strangers but in a heavenly moment we become one.
Sisters of the soul. Girlfriends. Her greatest gift to me is her strength.

Love Love

It's deeper than chemistry
We're connected
By our hearts,  by spirit,  mentally
Your mistakes caused pain
But couldn't replace what we have
I said I wouldn't but I forgive you
You're wonderous
Can't be mad at you
Wouldn't dare go against my heart to leave you
Don't even want to see life without you
No stranger to falling fast 
Like what I like,  Want what I want
But with you there's no red flags. 
Before I've fallen fast
Never though for a man who's core values match my desires
I require so much
Always in need of praise
Superficial 
you know ego shit
You leave no room for question
You thinking bout me
Your thoughtfulness fufills me
A three course meal
Plus icing
Trying to walk into forever with you. 
Hoping it's God holding the door open to my heart for you
I mean how else would you have gotten in? 
Is it Crime,  is it sin to let a stranger so deeply within? 
So open to love
Vulnerable by nature you see the blood stains on my sleeves
My heart hangs out for everyone to see
Subject to the sole of a shoe
I've been stepped on a time or two or ten
But to love I give in over and over again
The scars increase some fade others never will
I'm marred
No fade cream will be effective
Even still when I feel it I don't fear it
I jump into the battle as if I never lost
Its that same jab I forget to block
And I go down
I go down hard
But it's those who are strongest that can get back in the ring after a loss or two or ten
It is courage what you call foolishness
So with both feet I jump in
Fearlessly I take the risk
I'm in it
Wanting everything with you and more
Believing its attainable with my whole heart. Walking the same line in the same fashion
Hoping for a thorough road where there were only dead ends before. 
But you are my road less traveled.
This path is far more beautiful than the last
It isn't the scenery that takes away my breath
It is the strength of the soil in the grass 
Unfertilized growing organically sprouting realness
I pray to God to place His hand
To allow pure love in between only us
And if He shouldn't and my heart ends up broken
It would have been worth it
Being with you would have been enough
No fool nor insane
I believe in love is why I love this way
What is life without this feeling 
I'd rather be broken than soulless
From the soul comes love
Not the heart as mentioned
Love is Jesus, God is love
Why falling in it is so agonizingly euphoric

A Lady Untamed

Sit back and wait like a lady?
A lady I remain while untamed
I tell you I like you
Without shame I pursue you
Something I will not wait on line to do
Flattering you, appreciating your beautiful
From the outside to within then back again
Your beauty a loop I want to wrap myself in
It should be sin that I'm the first to say this to you
I want to date you
Oh is that too forward?
I'm gallant
Filled with courage
I will speak what I mean freely
Even if my gender says I'm confusing the roles and have to wait till you approach me
I see what I like
Now I'm a lion in heat
You entertain it but hesitant I see
Your gorgeousness makes lines blurry
Difficult to read between
So if you don't want me you must make mention of that
I will not acquiesce
To the beat of this rhythm
My magnificence has dimensions
Go too slow and you'll miss some
I'd gladly however move on if the radiance of my light is just too bright
For many it will be
But you never said a thing anti reciprocal to my very bold pursuit of you
Instead you painted me the color fool
And put me on display
Instead of extending Grace and allowing me to walk away with my face
You tuck some pain in the belt at my waist and steal my pride in exchange

Oak Tree

An Oak tree
Branches sway violently 
Leaves lose their place and descend at a frightening speed
Silently covering the ground I'm what appears to be death
Roots remain firmly underground
It's 500 year survival place
I'm no oak tree
I cannot survive this storm

The Break Up Poem

Even without access to my heart you break it

The pain is unbelievable

You are unbearable

Tears I didn't know I had pour from me until I'm drained

And then over and over again

Until I can barely recognize myself

Who I am gets lost in what I'm feeling

I wonder how can I be good in my soul

And be made to feel so low and left to feel it alone

It's the price for not loving you authentically

Because I was a victim who could only pretend to love her predator in hopes to make him docile and plan for escape

I don't miss you when you go

I don't think of you

I don't desire

I don't fancy you

But still I cling to the hope of redemption

I look in your eyes and hope to find a learned lesson

A cushion to soften all the hard blows you landed

A tenderness found in the time that's passed for the state of life you left me in

You abandoned me

Unforgivably abandoned our kids

Still you look at the mess you've made and step over it

I see you I see hatred 

Don't ask me to give You one more chance

You only want me at your convenience

Memories are painful

Scarcely good 

You'll never be able or willing to give me what I want

You'll make promises you can never promise you'll keep

Your offer of love is too late

And I know you mean what you say

However I've un-boarded this train

Packed up all my pain

Every day I take a step toward a brighter day

Just as the sunshine warms my skin

You're here again

Picking at wounds that have barely healed

Stealing the sun and force me into an emotional whirlwind

I will not board this train again

I take another step in the other direction

Learn how to breath through the pain all over again

One day at a time

One day I'll see the sun shine on me again?

Bitter

Don't tell me about self worth
As if I should take worth and apply it to myself
As if I should know how to do that
How could I know
I was not genetically predisposed to it
We're you?
Cause you tell me
A woman should know her worth
As if it is a part of her
A gift from the womb
Nah
There's no organ within me
No living seed
No innate ability
For self worth
I have to look at the world
And take their word for it
I'm declared un-everything
Unpretty, unlovable, unworthy
My skin doesn't become a buttery version of Brown against too much sun
Only darker, drier, scarier to the majority
And my body rolls, curves are only coined pleasantries
And the flaw within me is the worst flaw ing the world
Well it must be
From my mother to my man?
All have proven Incapable to love me
Should I hunt for worth labeled self among the trees?
You would suggest this
out of my reach
This wilderness in which I live has lost me
I am lost in its brush
No one has come to look for me
I am without surprise
Is it from the lack of love that worth derived?
If true, I am well on my way
Although I can't fathom how someone like me
Someone lost, loveless
Could be worth anything

Hand Stitched

Those bars before you could've been hand stitched.  
You sowed that.
The unfortunate truth but that truth doesn't own you. 
 I force my love, squeeze it in between the inches of space.  
Don't worry just stand back and watch..it will fit.  
I didn't come in with it but here it appears oozing through my fingers.
You are not what you did or didn't do. 
You are whoever you've grown into right now...at this moment.

How a Poet Loves

With love I go within
Pull from myself the purest of emotion
I sit in it
I let it fill me
Then I pour you a glass
With intrinsic orchestration I find the words
With each word I give you a piece of my soul
I have nothing 
So I offer my best
The words my soul stir up in honor of you
That is how I love you
