BryanStars, I love you so
I remember that time we met one year ago
I gave you a page
That I made for you
And you gave me a hug
Or was it two?
BryanStars, I love you so
September 15th feels so long ago
I ditched my sister for a day with you
And even brought my best friend, too
She was short and small
Not really tall
BryanStars, I love you so
After everything, all I had was woe

Look at what ya do to me
I dont deserve, the stress your causing me.
I need to breathe, Your Suffocating me.
I cant take what your doin' anymore.
So, I called it off, I called off everything... cuz i cant take it anymore.
ya had your chance and you blew it,
Pics on your phone that ya tried to hide,
Blaming me for things and I didn't know why.
You were an ass to my family,
Ya talked to my sister more than you talked to me.
You're in denial, and I'm not talking Egypt,
Cuz you just... been.. RE-JECT-ED...
But now I moved on and I'm happy
and all the time I feel like i'm in paradise.
For me this aint the end, it's the beginning.
and as for you..... good RIDDENS!

She is not a supernatural
All she is - a being of morals
She is not invinscible
Yet, She can be divisible
A shed light in a darkened room
An inspiration to a person in doom
A transformer in many things
A quiet fighter in anything
A sister she can be
A friend she can be
A mother she can become
A baby she can come
A casual smile she can release
Giving someone a sudden bliss
When tear pours and uncease
It weakens or ruins anyone's peace
Indeed, she is a supergirl
On whole wide world at twirl
Independently ravaging
Graciously empowering

Dramatic Verse

She says she doesn’t
Doesn’t believe it
Love is impossible
Everyman she’s dated
All minds were deflated
All they want to do is bump and grind
You can read between the lines
You really know what I mean
Sexual gratifications
Never a vacation
All they want to do is bump and grind
You know what I mean
She is more than just a object a sex toy
She’s somebodies sister, daughter
So in remission
She awaits marriage
Maybe one man will have the courage
To do his husbandly duties on the honeymoon
Cause nobody’s gitin any sugar in their Kool-Aid tonight
Well praise God (Go sit on some ice boy and take a cold shower)

As I think about all the times, I thought about letting you know how I feel; I was terrified because I didn't want to risk our friendship. We have been friends since grade school. But once I reached puberty, my feelings for you started to shift. They came crashing around my heart like a mack truck. Did I always have feelings for you and too young to understand such feelings? As time went on, I knew you never saw me as anything but a best friend/sister. So I pushed my feelings aside because I just wanted you to stay in my life. But now you are about to walk down the aisle in two days. My heart breaks, and there is something I have to say, I love you with all my heart. Please don’t marry her…..
With my love,
Your Best Friend

I'm writing now oh big bro
Oh! sorry I forgot, yes you said no
To say goodbye and to let you know
That you'll be on my mind wherever I
go
Well you know I'll never be ur pussy
cat nor teddy bear
Whatever you wanna call me now...I
dnt care
You think you're the one who's hurt,
well you're wrong dear
The truth is that I'm the one suffering
here
No no plz dnt you ever apologize
I'm the one who's sorry for telling
lies
To you?! Yeah right that's what you
have always thought
But I was lying to myself believe it or
not
No more stories,no more pain
Gonna spread my wings, fly in the
rain
Now each one is going his own way
Well that is all I have to say
If you change your mind I'll be
waiting for you
Ready do hear and forgive like I
always do
The fact is you'll never know what
you did to me
Though I'll never consider you as an
enemy
Oh how I wish to hear from you
these words
Saying, sister come close to me,
together we will run the world.

Verse

Always wanting something.
You make such demands of me.
Why me?
Why not the guy over the road?
Or the gal in the bar?
It’s always me isn’t it?
You want me to pay for your new dog.
And then pay for you to learn to drive.
Never mind the cost of your pecker transplant.
To the top of your head.
I’d pay for all of this and more.
That was before.
It all stopped when I caught you with my sister.
You were shafting her and took her salt.
Ok she had you at gunpoint.
And you had no choice.
But I still blame you.
And cut off your funding.
But you just don’t get it.
I will not pay for your wants.
Go and get a job or rob a bank.
Or deal drugs and get shot by the cops.
Then you do me a big favour.
You cease to exist and are gone kaput dead.
Then I can live in peace.
But more importantly I get rich.
I can spend your insurance.
So go and get shot and make me rich.
And leave me in peace.
In fact I’ll set you up.
Then you’ll defo be gone.
Goodbye dear nephew.
Soon you’ll disappear.
And I’ll take a vacation.
Head for the hills.
They won’t catch me there.

I DODGED A BULLET
I dodged a bullet two weeks ago
In that shopping mall
A bullet, caramel skinned; moisturized
That almost left a sister’s chest
Spurting red spots everywhere
I dodged this fine looking bullet
That went three sixty degrees
Around my waistline
I sang praises, I almost rocked that Mic
Check check
I dodged a bullet…
Yes! I dodged a fine one
Six feet two inches; got me high
Fine smelling cologne, I took a whiff
Six packs front layered;
I scrolled through, page after page
In my fantasy
Oh my!
I dodged it sister; yes I dodged a bullet in hours
It challenged my hormones
They militated against my sense of reasoning
I gave a silent scream for help
My eyes coated in surprise
My hands, still…
My prize, a bullet?
That bullet almost shot through me
Between Africa and Jamaica
It's warmth sent me down that sofa
Attention! my twin babies saluted
That voice, those eyes
A combination of soul and jazz soothing the soul
Soft and inviting, tempting;
Sent shivers down my spine
They slung a leash around me
But I had to dodge that bullet
On the last five days before New Year's Eve
Neofloetry (c)2013.

A MAN STANDS TALL
When you find yourself all alone
and the way before you is not clear,
if you are willing to pay the high cost,
willing to swallow the yellow knot of fear,
when angels have left you without a guide
and demons have all drawn close and near –
a male who would be a man stands tall.
When a sister finds herself lost
in emotional hurt, pain and crying,
when a brother stumbles and falls
no matter how hard he might be trying,
when a parent faces their fears
of being alone and finally dying -
a male who would be a man stands tall.
If he has a tender giving heart
and a clear and open mind,
with a willingness to heal,
and the strength to be forever kind,
when presented with others faults
makes the choice to be fault-blind -
a male who would be a man stands tall.
And the circle will forever grow
while the wound of enmity mends,
the bloodied warriors will finally pause
and recognize those who would be friends,
the music starts, the dance begins
the killing finally ends -
a male who would be a man stands tall.
A male who would be a man stands tall.

I do not know?
|
You appeared before me like a road not on the map
Freshly paved and pounded flat
And I, having just inflated my high performance tires
Greened the light and shed my hat
No sign of speed bumps or sink holes to rattle my nerves
I vroomed down your stretches and rolled through your curves.
With the top down, in the pouring rain,
I gun it and floor it; not wanting to see
The Signs of caution in front of me.
Hands on the wheel, Mister!
Eyes on the Road, Sister!
“Oh please be the road I just know you can be!”
(as though you could alter your path to satisfy me…)
The road beneath does nothing to protest my bolt.
After all, it knows where it goes and cares not that I don’t.
As it yawns and bends,
I find myself wondering where it ends.
For what’s at the end of a road more often than not?
Nothing but a big ol’ parking lot!
And why should I care
How long it takes to finally get there.
So I down shift a gear and slow-up my pace.
Though now I can feel the rain on my face.
It’s okay though ‘cause now I know
I’ve no particular place to go.
I might as well lose the map, and as I grow older,
I’ll rest my vehicle on your wide soft shoulder.

Andrew Tate influencing kids
but his peers think he’s stupid
not someone you’d want to know
what is he without his doe?
Have you ever seen him smile
have a laugh or look like fun
a material Barbie boy lifestyle
is he what you want to become
The man is lacking intellect
you don’t want to be that dude
yeah the young know disrespect
but he’s always in a bad mood
You think women are for using
how’s your mum your aunt and Nan
when your sister get’s a bruising
think Andrew Tate will give a damn
Look at him, no real closely
he’s got no personality
think that’s what a man should be
a voice of verbal vanity
Tyson Fury, that’s a man
he fell down as all men can,
do you think that was part of his plan?
It’s not weak to fall, it’s tough to stand
A man can show intimidation
but real men also let it go
adapting to the situation
weakness needs bravado
Yeah we all dream of the money
but you will never make that doe
Andrew Tate’s a real world dummy
blaming FRIENDS the tv show
That video shows the man is thick
too weak to laugh now that’s tragic
show an adult that very vid
of Andrew Tate, the invalid!

In prayer with one of God's Daughter;
Awaiting His blessing to behold;
In prayer with one of God's Daughters;
Praying for all to be well;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;
In prayer with my Sister one of God's Daughters;
Fasting and Believing awaiting the receiving;
In prayer we stand, we stay;
Praying for all to be well;
No one knows, but us and God;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;
Oh, oh, wooH, deliver her Lord, my God for those things she spoke of;
And Healing of your world, this land;
Redeem us Father God give us another chance to see your grace and love;
In prayer with my Sister one of God's Daughters;
Fasting and Believing awaiting the receiving;
In prayer we stand, we stay;
Praying for all to be well;
No one knows, but us and God;
we are praying for a refreshing power
Praying for renewal of mind;
Praying for power and spiritual blessings;
Halle- Hallelujah;

Somebody daughter
If you can't threat her right
Let her go
If you can't love her
Let her be
She don't deserve your pains
She don't deserve to cry
From your brutality
If she is not what you need
Tell it to her
She will understand
She might be your helper
At last if you are honest
So if you can't threat her right
Please let her go cos
She is somebody sister
She is somebody else need
She is somebody daughter
Somebody daughter
No man get young forever
So be wise earlier
Don't learn to be brutal
On your spouse to feel stronger
No matter who the man is
He is empty without a woman
No matter how proud a man is
Am sorry to disappoint you that
He was born from the womb of a woman
So please put down your ego men
And be respectful to your women
They are the power you got
They are the source of your growth
They are the energy you need
They are your sisters
They are your mother's
They are your daughters
It cost nothing to be kind
To women
Believe me you will love them
Better when you are humble
To them
They are lovely
Yes women are beautiful
So if you can't threat her right
Please let her go
Remember
She is some one sister
She is some one else desire
She is somebody daughter

Ozzie oh Ozzie
Ozzie was a Newfoundland dog
This dog was like a big ball of cushion
He had a body of a bear and innocent look of child
He was soft in and out, well crafted, black and white
He weighed around 150 pounds
He loved to run- he had the most majestic run
I loved watching him, took so many videos of him
Rewind a little step back......me as an adult
Coming to a new culture, I was very disgusted by how pets were treated
I was like - how can animals be treated better than humans?
I was confused and had a lot of "nice" things to say about this new pet culture
Rewind back........I was around 12
I got a beating from my brother for throwing cold dish water on one of our dogs
I was an angry teen
Rewind back, way back........around 7 years
Me and my sister cried so hard when we watched one of our brothers kill and bury little puppies
His reason being, we didn't have food to feed them and nobody would take them
I guess, population control
I was an innocent kid
Around same year or year after, we lost Tommy a beloved dog of the family that had been with us for years
His burial was in style, none like that in our village
We buried him like a human and even wrote an epitaph for him
We all loved him
Thank you Ozzie for taking the angry teen and the confused adult out of me
And bringing back the innocent kid
I will always love you, because of you my love for pets blossomed!

Hello to you my old friend
forgive me for I haven't visited
I was busy with life,
and the bills kept coming.
Time flew by... I just don't know
All alone now, brother
you're sister is fine,
she married and has a son coming soon,
due in May
a Taurus just like you,
congrats Uncle...
I remember what you said that one time,
you remember(God, do you remember) when
we ran down the overpass and that semi almost
killed you, good times.
And we smoked those old Marlboros
and read Bukowski,
God, those were good times...
So, how are you doing?
Fine?
Good?
Oh-don't want to talk about it-I understand...
I saw Rebecca
that girl at the bookstore,
she's doing well,
feeling her old self
She asked about you,
but I couldn't tell her
She would be devastated
I saw Jane too,
Sweet Jane, oh,
she rolled her eyes when I mentioned your name
and then I told her,
and she started to cry
those eyes don't roll anymore
I saw Clare, Donna, Diane, Lola, Layla, Paula,
and even those twins from Amsterdam
and they all blushed when I told them about you,
and now they can't wait to hear from you
You know those paintings you painted ten years back,
they sold for millions,
they put them in a museum,
your name is all over those white walls, reflecting off the marble floors
and those pale blue eyed girls
you used to talk to, stand their
with arms crossed and stare in awh
God- you came a long way my friend
brother- keep it up brother- you deserve it.
I planted that oak tree in the backyard
and its growing well, strong just like you.
No problem
No problem

Verse

Each new day, my imperfections are on display,
I'm not perfect, but I'm here to stay,
I get jealous even after telling you that am cool with it,
I preach communication but l go silent when am in pain,
With depression overclouding me,
Loosing several days of memories with this heart that is ten times softer than yours,
I start endless fights with you because am not perfect,
I make mistakes, l make errors, l flop because am not perfect,
I got no smooth lines, no long texts to impress you with because am just not perfect,
I can be territorial, that’s true, even jealous I guess,
Bedtime anger, scars from the past, which some created fears that might never perish,
I will slide in your DM, seeking connection, annoying, and boring you because am not perfect,
I always leave space for the worst, expecting history to repeat itself because am just not flawless,
I will questions once,twice,thrice,even ten times because once is just not enough for an overthinker person like me,
Every tiniest change is big enough to make me feel less of a woman because l just need assurance,
As much as l expect the worst, l expect inner-felt love, instant replies, random texts, long hugs,cuddles,night walks,open love because a little distance makes me worry too much,
I would even be jealous of those who have been there before me, because am just being insecure,
l wanna see your mom, your sister, your friends even your Ex’s because am just too curious to think l fit in,
I cry at every tiniest argument we get into, l overthink, l become moody, l worry too much, l over-express myself, l do too much because am just not a perfect,
I can be irritating sometimes, squeezing myself in your arms, sitting on your laps, sleeping ontop of you because close is never close enough for an imperfect person like me,
Am so flawed, but I'll put in work for you.

As your mother
I think of you each and every day
You don't have a single sister or brother
Thoughts of you continue to replay
In my head all night long
Wishing you were here
Home with me where you belong
I can't stand not having you near
So many things in my past I regret
If I could I'd go back and undo
There's so many things I wish I could forget
But the best thing to ever happen to me was you
My light when I was surrounded by dark
My strength whenever I felt weak
When I'm with you in my eyes there is a spark
In my life you are my highest peak
A love I've never known before
Than the first time I laid eyes on you
I knew there was no one I could ever love more
Never known a love so true
I tried so hard to give you the world
Remembering the first time as if it was only yesterday
Asleep on my chest you curled
There I wish you would've been able to stay
But so many things have happened since then
And maybe one day that I will be able to explain
Nothing about back when
Has done anything but cause me pain
But because of you I continue to fight
Cuz there's nothing in my life I want more
Than to make all these things right
Even though I can't get back all that time with you from before
I can spend every day from here on out
Trying to make everything I can up to you
To show you that it's you my world is all about
And there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
Cuz you mean everything in the world to me
My first born baby boy
Growing up faster than I can bare to see
The love of my life, my pride and joy
Only four, months away from five
A month later enrolling in school
You are my every reason to strive
When I'm with you I try and play it cool
Though that's not always the easiest thing to do
It's your very smile
That reminds me I do what I do for you
But I know it's been a long while
I'm so much farther than I've ever been
And only get closer to being closer to you
After everything that happened back then
I know in my heart this much is true
You and I will be together again
Some way some how
I will keep you from any more pain
To you I make this vow
Cuz as your mother it's what I must do
After all you've already been thru
I want to prove that what I say is true
Cuz Son there is no one I love more than you!!!!
