Delli Thami Poem
u r a queen
your walk
so elegant
so poised
your legs
like marble pillars
u r a queen
your smile
crafted beautifully
u r a queen
your hips
shaped like
the finest apple
in the orchard
u r a queen
your bosom
bloom like the lillies
on the sharon plain
u r a queen
your skin
your melanin
encases your inner beauty
so lovely
so powerful
u r a queen
your name
like a spreading parfum
how lovely is the fragrance
u r a queen
your beauty
far beyond words
u r a queen
your lips
so inviting
scarlet ribbon color
sweet like nectar
u r a queen
your soul
filled with honey and milk
far more fragrant
than a mountain of frankincense
so sweet
so citrusy
u r a queen
u r a queen
u r a queen

Delli Thami Poem
You are Africa
Every 30 Million km^2
This is you
You are Africa
Every 54 countries and even the 2 disputed
This is you
You are Africa
The birthplace of mankind
Sahelanthropus tchadensis
Australopithecus africanus
Australopithecus afarensis
*****habilis
*****erectus
This is you
You are Africa
Your skin composed of Platinum and Pallidium
Is found embedded in the Rocks of Zimbabwe
From Kilimanjaro came your structure
Both Tall and Mighty you are
From the Sahara came your thick hair
Bushy and Exuberant
As far as Algeria spreads
Is as far as your eyes can see
Your nose smells the Ambergris
As you stroll the coast of Madagascar
Your lips
Your beautiful lips
Resemble those of the Queens that once graced the land of Ethiopia
Your core stands erect
Taller than Mount Mikeno in Congo
The thunderous beat of your heart come from the drums of Ghana
You Hands brushed over Egypt
Thus erecting the Pyramids
Your arms wrap around me
Just like the Nile to East Africa
Your legs originate from Tanzania
Always Migrating when need be
Your feet carried the weight of mankind
You are stronger than the Elephants of Nigeria
So when anyone equivalates your black beauty to sin
Remind them of the richness from Africa you have within
This is you
You are Africa
Africa are you

Maybe You Won't
That's Cool
Lonely Is Okay Too

Delli Thami Poem
The tide is high and I'm holding on
But the waters are to my neck
I can't feel the bottom
And I can't swim but somehow I'm not drowning
I'm holding onto something but I'm not sure what
I know it isn't my hope because
My hope has swam away
Not even looking back once
My self inflicted wounds burn because of the salt
water
The current is getting stronger
And the steadily rising rip tide isn't doing me justice
My advisories are just below me
Ready to devour me
I don't want to fall prey
Was this it?
Am I as good as dead?
Is this how my life ends?
At the hands of my advisories?
The storm intensified
The waters began to roar
The surrounding mountains began to shake
The earth began to rumble
My advisories began to chant
The wind whistled and blew away my faith
I let go
I am no more
"Well done my child, Lisa right?"
I awoke

Delli Thami Poem
I vomit out my heart
the emptiness
oh the void
you do not sting
it hurts
it burns
burns my soul to bitterness
outside i'm fine
inside I cry
I hate me
I Blame Me

Delli Thami Poem
Why did you leave?
Oh companion of mine
Why did you leave?
Twas it really your time?
Did you see no point in staying
another measly day?
By my side if you were oh the
things I would say!
Judge you, I would not
Tis not in my nature
The emptiness I feel from your
passing measures to that of a
crater
A bullet took your life
One blast and it's through
What pains me to know is the
gun was held by you
All you left behind was a note
for family and friends
Inscribed were many ' I love
you's '
And your deep heartfelt
amends
No need to say sorry
For you lived a full life
I shall always remember this
through the pain, struggles,
and strife
'You don't know what you got
until what you got is no more'
Oh how this saying is true!
As the tears stream my face
and I reminisce of you
With anger in our eyes and
pain in our hearts
We lay you to rest
Hoping that solace will
overflow in our lives
We miss you Eric
This is in plain black and white
Had we the power we'd wish
you back to life
I take comfort in knowing one
day we'll meet again
Beyond the pearly gates
reunited as friends
This is NOT goodbye
Only a brief farewell
When shall we meet again?
Only time will tell

Delli Thami Poem
The stars are your eyes
On a dark night they are
fireflies
They are beautiful honey dew
flowers
Along with the moonlight they
dance
They dance to the sweet sound
of the earth's rotation

Delli Thami Poem
A new life
birth
the offspring of the Rosonow's
a new form
a new shape
a new girl
a new world
the beauty of a new baby is embraced a new mother's arms
how beautiful she is like a green pasture
she is a pure soul and a clean heart
she is like a star that glistens brightly during the night hours
waiting in the sky to be look upon and loved
laughter
times together
kindness
all in the form of a precious little girl
a new life
a new form
a new shape
a new girl
a new world
open eyes and open hearts

Delli Thami Poem
blood, sweat, and tears
nailed to a cross
crown full of thorns
your life was lost
for me, a worthless sinner
for me
a new beginning
I leave the past where it remains
I've been transformed
I've been restored
condemned no more
I wear the chains no more
I am free

UNSUPPORTED CODE Do not conform to society standard of beauty UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE refuse it UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE The way you look is fine UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE The way you dress is fine UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE You are fine UNSUPPORTED CODE
Your dark skin is fine
Your naps and curls are astounding
UNSUPPORTED CODE There is no fault if acnes scars Grace your face UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE There is no wrong if strech marks hug your body all around UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE Who is to blame for hyperpigmentation? UNSUPPORTED CODE
UNSUPPORTED CODE Nobody UNSUPPORTED CODE
A crooked tooth doesn’t make you any less
A limp in your walk is not a limp in your personality
You are beautiful
Far beyond the measure of man
Crafted by God
In excellence
So do not conform
You are you
And that's beautiful too
