Enhance You

Take my hand, let us fly. Take my words, let us love. Join me in this journey of 
pure passionate truth. Enlighten your soul, expand your mind. Become one with 
me, you are my other half. Let these words caress you and float into your heart. 
Hold them there and keep them tight. Encase them in your love, ensnare them 
with your kiss. Expand your mind to higher things and allow your heart to follow. 
Bring forth your inner feelings, let shine your beauty true. Do not recooil and keep 
them bound, your feelings i want to see. Force that inner joy from you, in which I 
know you posses. Open up and let me in, your mind I want to explore. Take me 
on a journey, to your heart, your mind, and your soul. Let me in my love, I 
want to be with you. Take this as a piece of me, and let it enhance you.

*This poem is dedicated to the man who has made me see that love is worth 
fighting for. He has showed me that the world isn't all cruel and bad. I love him. 
And he knows who he is.

Today Is My Day

Today is the day I will rise,the day i go to take my place,amongst the world 
and it's cruel encounters. Once I have started i cannot be stopped, my endless 
reign has begun. A tyrant i am not, but a young woman powerful with knowledge I 
am. I refuse to quit and I refuse to give up, I will not allow my fears to control me. 
Step up, stand out, and be heard is what i'll do, because today is my day and i'm 
going to be better than all of you.

Real?

He's tellin' me its not just me, it's him as well, but if it was him then he shouldn't 
of said those words he tells. He said "I Do" when he didn't but he said that he 
did. Sewing these seeds that will grow into weeds. This guy has me trippin', so 
unsure of myself. Don't know if I should quit him because it might be real. But if 
that was the deal, then let me tell you watz up. He'd love me for me whether I'm 
talkin' or moanin'. Take me as I am thick-a-licious or just skinny. My shoe size 
wouldn't matter and in his eyes, my smile would be perfect. He'd walk across the 
longest desert with no water for me. So this must not be.

Purple & Green Hair

You walk in and they all stop and stare
You walk out and they watch you leave
Why?
Because you're different
You look different
You talk different
You even stand different
And they don't like that
they don't like your courage to stand out
Your courage never to give in
You've got spice and they look bland
You shine bright and they look dull
They, are haters
Thats exactly what they are
Because you are different
With your purple and green hair

B-Ball Chick

If my nigga need help,
I'm his shoulder to lean on.
If my nigga need a hand, he gon' have both of mine.
When it's time to ride,
I got the passenger seat.
When he need inspiration,
I'm his muse.
Inseperable. 
That's what we are.
Even on the court,
he don't choose his boys,
he don't choose a guy at all.
He chooses me.
His girl.
His woman.
His muse...
His b-ball chick

Lost Love

Once amazing and passionate
heart felt closeness
empty longing
painful yearning
to have your words
consume your presence
wish for yesturday
but this day is today
and even though I dont know how
I must forget you now

A Little Something New

New to the feel of your fingers twisting and turning with mine
New to the constant want to have you beside me
New to the butterflies fluttering in my stomach when you lightly kiss my lips
New to the taste of your words in my mind
New to the extremity to have you speak to me in your tantalizing verses
New to this thing called love
New to the power, the strength, the ability
New to loosing my balance when I’m not even standing 
And loosing my words before I even open my mouth
New to needing someone to fill me, become one with me, and 
indulge in love’s pleasures with me
I am new, You are new
We are new, Our love is new
Now join me in this bountiful bliss

That Thang

What's that thang
Thats got my knees all weak
Whats that thang
That makes my toes curl
And whos that guy
That knows just what to say
Because he's got that thang
That pulls me closer everyday
So what's that thang
Thats got my knees all weak
And whats that thang
That makes my toes curl
He's got that thang
That thang called Love

Dedicated to Duce

A Child No More

I used to watch movies, now i watch cartoons. I used to buy books, now i buy 
toys. I have become a child again. Calling for my mother in the midst of the night, 
crying and throwing fits when i dont get my way. I have become a child again. 
Walking around the house with my thumb in my mouth and my teddy in my arm, 
wanting all of the new Bratz and barbie dolls. I have become a child again. Finger 
painting my multi-colored turkey on Thanksgiving, eating all of the pies and 
yams. I have become a child again. I want this, I want that. I have my mother's 
love. I never stopped being a child.
