MY BROTHER AND IMy brother and I,
while choosing a name for my nephew,
tried hard to think of something unique—
something with variety and charm.
“Tractor” was the first choice,
then came “Tumbler,”
and we fell breathless with laughter,
comparing impossible things—
his eyes to stretching bubblegum.
We joked about how his name
might sound when he grew older.
Laughs and tears rolled down our cheeks.

I Ain't No GoodI ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should,
My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time.
What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long,
But my woman seems to know it all by heart.
She got her degree, in what is wrong with me,
First a master’s, then a Ph.D.
She lectures all around, relatin’...

Ginger CatI have this little Ginger Cat.
Lord knows what he sees
in me! – cutest adoring eyes
I don’t deserve; purrs in
reserve, as he settles to cuddle
and be stroked.
All I do is feed him, a bowl of
fresh water couple times a day --
box of clay for his business – but,
I could almost...

Crime of SexThey called it short gratification—
but I lost my soul in the trade.
A moment’s pleasure,
for a lifetime of emptiness,
a spark that consumed
the temple I once was.
O Woman,
your body is not desire’s playground—
it is the chalice of divinity.
If you fail to respect your sacred form,
no man ever will.
Each man you lie with,
leaves an imprint upon your soul.
And...

LOVE WEAKLove is like a pulling feeling in our heart, it can make us feel weak,
Weak to the knees, making us want it endlessly.
Love can also wound us, leaving us bleeding in our heart and mind.
Making our heart and mind and body feeling sick.
Sick because our love is lost, and we feel...

HAHA I'M MANICAll that
remains
of our
love
is a faded Polaroid,
a carton of cigarettes,
and two cases of beer.
I'll forget you soon,
but for now,
I'm cracking open
another one—
let's hope these
memories
blur!...

Dancing DotsDancing dots that you can't see
Dance messages of love from me
And when I finish I hit send
Then when they reach you on your end
You'll know that I just thought of you
Even though I always do
A moment taken to be still
And write my thoughts of you at will
If every thought got off my chest
These dancing dots...

Foothold on the sunMy heart sings as I walk on springs,
With foothold on the sun, unburned.
Your love fills my heart, my soul,
My whole being.
I swim in love – I fly without wings.
Joy clings to my feet,
Gratitude fills my mouth.
So I sing, I dance in the air,
My claps echo with harmony.
Happiness knows no rival
Since you arrived with your love.
Your...

A HEART FOR TWOLetting go was never an option
I walk between two worlds
giving pieces of myself
to both, without knowing
which one holds the real me/
With a burning heart, I swim in ice
a fire pulled in two directions
a love stretched thin
yet somehow whole.
One heart, one soul
but two names echo inside me
and strangely
each feels complete./
Some days I feel lost
not in absence
but...

How Did You Care To Love Someone Like MeHow did you care to love someone like me
Whose name is burdensome for you to bear
A boy whose reputation suffers glee
And whose tomorrow uncertainties scare
How did you care to love someone like Wems
Who wants to turn you a fornicatress
Whose plans have only been to use condoms
And treats you like nothing beyond mistress
How did you care...

Dumbstruck Dumb-LuckThe soft curves of your smile,
echoing mile after mile.
Not reminiscent of a grandma,
but rather, a banana.
Your glowing doughy eyes,
look as squishy as thy thighs.
You create a fervent need,
akin to a vampire, lusting to feed.
You send my brain a-boiling,

Hotty to NaughtyHotty to notty—
That’s a bad thing, bro.
Hotty to naughty—
Now that’s a good way to go.
Hotty to notty,

Hotty to notty—
Their looks go bad.
Hotty to naughty—
That won’t make you sad.
Hotty to notty,
Hotty to naughty.
Hotty to notty—
You leave that face.

You can't leave that place.

Things get tough.

The voice I once forgot was mineI was married,
but to me, it wasn’t marriage.
It was poverty-induced—
a fate sealed by hunger and silence.
I was an orphan,
taken in by my mother’s brother—
the uncle who accepted
that I could live with him.
But he was abusive,
an emotional robber.
He broke the seal of my womanhood
when I was just into the third of the teenage years.
Long story short—
he...

He's Still My Man(A country song to my hubby…read this with a Loretta Lynn voice)
Verse one:
Well, my man is the kind who likes to unwind
with a BudLight and western shows.
He watches them over and over and over
till I think my head’ll explode!
A ballcap is all that he will wear on his head,
except when it rains...
