Family Chain

I was born
where did I come from 
who do I look like, reflect
mom, dad, siblings
forgetting
that it is a small world with a big family
that I have inherited my skin, facial features 
produced by the make up of an ancestor
who?
my grandmother
brown skin, beautiful, healthy
me
I resemble someone who is of great thought 
contribution to the past
I have someone to fit in with, to bond, to listen
a mission 
to carry the strength that a woman expresses like no other
to bring life of another, version of me 
I can now see where I belong
as the rhythm of a beat, to seek
a woman who is pure, not new
but true, to the roots 
like no other, except for...
my grandmother

Silence Is Golden

Sshh...listen...nothing said the way we'll keep it 
as a secret that has'nt been revealed 
my lips are sealed 
along with yours, pressed against mine
bodies collide closed eyes
I seem shy 
adrenaline rush 
wanting to touch and caress her physique 
this feeling unique 
It's my 1st kiss young innocence 
how long is this new experience 5 seconds 
no time in reality, life time my mentaliy 
of thought so long I've sought 
to make this move 
what I'd try to do 
talk smooth say the right thing 
without meaning, lost patience 
until I figured out
communication 
non-verbal without words 
only actions my reaction 
speechless
realizing silence is golden

Point

Coming down the court,
Shaking,Baking,Breaking,the press,
Set up the play of course,
I'll drop tha dime,just finish tha rest!
Step up in need,command your team,
I'm always working hard,
Tha #1 spot, if you know what I mean,
It's obvious, I'm a Guard!

To Air Is Human

I heard the wind 
I saw the wind 
I felt the wind 
I smelt the wind
I touched the wind
I ate the wind
I slept with the wind 
I dreamed of the wind
I caught the wind because the winds
are my dreams, my future, my heart

Recycle of Life

Together a chance,never romance 
but I enhance, my enter strength 
toward you to express 
our mistakin interest,for eacother 
the reflection of one another 
not one of one a mirror but of a sender, recieving mail 
from the hardships in jail to escape hell 
in the mind
I am one of kind 
to you im true 
which makes one of two 
me half of our whole 
me reaching into you soul 
my traits blow at a constant rate 
to create an offspring great as a king or prince 
in the eyes of the grown the suspence 
he displays at his throne 
exploring the unknown 
searching for a path that sewn, knitted 
as grandmas quilt neat well built 
without any guilt or burden to carry 
beautiful woman to marry
full of dreams and aspirations 
experiencing the sensation, of being with a women 
not of sex but of loven to place beans in the oven 
to enjoy the meaning and express the upbringing of a being 
thats part of three, showing unity 
love a  family tree 
no she dont look like me but resembles a face,color of our past
history 
as the cycle repeats itself 
family expands a new book on the shelf 
a new page or chapter full of life 
once upon a time, the end 
that begins a new life line

Rememberance of Alex

As I go
this sorrow
should not overshadow
the message that is sent for all to borrow
no goodbyes, only tommorrow
see you later 
death leads to a better life
after 
you have shed light, on others lives
look up to the skies 
close your eyes 
I am here
I am near
through memory and spiritually
physically
as you carry on my legacy

I Knew (A New) Feeling

I once knew who you
a new beautiful
style,smile,eyes
as we coinside
through the mind
the design, attraction
a new reaction
that I've felt
can't accept
not ready
the surprise,suspense, my consience
all aroused 
a new sense
a nuisense
unexplainable,undefined
was you and new to me
I knew feeling
