Living without a father wasn’t a good fate
This in the future could bring about immense hate
But this did not stop your talent and purpose
Although you were a premature baby
This would not stop your mental development
Your curiosity became a spark to go beyond the norm
Your best friend was the truth
You needed to know the reality of something
Based on scientific truth
In calamity, you found the unity of purpose
In pain, you found the truth
In the pandemic, you found the light of lights
You showed us that during darkness light can be found!
You were a spiritual man
You were a man of science but also a man of faith
You were a man of destiny and
You showed us that there is more to life and that
Your upbringing does not determine your stream in life!

In the ultimate I ponder and resonates
Sporadic melancholy treading thoughts
Void pneumatic aspirations that perspire in nothingness
The peripheral space spurts erratic waves
Spewed fantasy and ejaculates conglomeration
Palpitation of erroneous premature baby
That which is not flushed down is a street arching
Vivid escapades flowed sluggish and sticky
Unwinding terrestrial route it’s a dead end
Never to end but in illusion
Ruminates and castigated spits vomits
Miasma inhalation that draws petrified lunatics
Kindled joyful cleave less than platonic
Lost in haziness of pleasurable moments causing love anguish
Thrusting Warm Velvet labial interior
Sensuousness mesmerized at anatomical fission and fusion
Malodorous soaked sweat-draped dripping bodies
Enclosed, staffed and steam simmering moisture
Equivocal musty air radiated from euphoric entanglement
Perplexed awe mouth agape
WHO AM I? IAM A LOT OF THINGS IN LIFE! I AM EQUALITY,
I AM UNIQUE,
BUT MOST OF ALL I AM ME.
I AM A LION WHO HAS THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON,
I AM ALOST CHILD WHO HAS NO HOME AND IS ALL ALONE.
I AM A BROKEN HAERT THAT ALWAYS SKIP A BEAT,
I AM STEVIE WONDER AND I CANNOT SEE WHAT LIFE HAS INSTORE FOR ME.
I AM A DAUGHTER WHO STRUGGLES TO MAKE HER FATHER PROUD,
I AM A PREMATURE BABY WHO TRYS TO FIND AIR FOR HIS/HER LUNGS JUST SO HE/SHE
CAN MAKE IT OUT.
I AM MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. I WISH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD,
I AM A YOUNGE WOMEN AND NO LONGER A LITTLE GIRL.
WHO AM I?
I AM ALL OF THE THINGS I JUST SPOKE OF!
AS LO0NG AS I KNOW WHAT I AM,
I HAVE THE SELFCONFIDENCE TO CHANGE MY LIFE INTO BETTER THINGS.......
She woke up around 1:00A.M.
She went to the bedroom with her lustrous eyes
Watching me
She was cold from the night air,
and she returned with a blanket
She looked at me as she did love
I wasn’t asleep,
I was fully awake
The blanket she had became invisible to the cold night
As she covered my naked body,
She held me tight and moaned
And in the midst of passion…
I looked into her soul
She loved me and hated me all at once,
It was like a pleasant pain
She held me
I was a premature baby again
She didn’t let go
She covered my naked body once more,
But not with a blanket
Love
As I looked into her eyes, I was lost in her ebony-majesty
And as she exhaled,
I took all her breath as my own
I revealed my true self while she was asleep
I am Love
The cool night almost had her
My love kept her warm
She placed her head near my chest
My heaven on earth was beside me
I had no way to express this boundless Love
I cried
She never knew I felt godlike hardships
That no mortal would understand
Must I die to receive her love?
Like a sick eagle looking at the sky,
I slowly turned away from her, knowing…..
That I would lose her when the morning came……
You sipped away
while my nephew
was growing in your belly
Bacardi bottles emptying
and he's not even a month
I shutter to think
how this innocent
face will turn out
Born a premature baby
into a weed house
I don't know whether
to keep my mouth shut
or if I should call child services
If they took him away would
you finally become sober
and be a real mother?
A baby born so small
a few breaths shy of normal
I pray everyday that, that liquor
you drunk wasn't harmful
Fresh from the incubator
you went out to a club
asking random men for dubs
and all I can do is shake my head
and pray that some how
some way
my nephew
escapes this insanity
unscathed
