The petals floating
Sweet smells and bells in the air
Here she comes in step

Jamala James Poem
Weep, Why? I Saw It Coming!
He put me in the mood
Reminding me I am a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
But is that really me?
No need to explain why I can't see
Distracted on all sides
He liked the span of my thighs
The curl in my hair
Not so much the clothes I wear
It was the look in my eyes
The energy shared between he and I
Forgetting that Woodoo
That they do to attack you
Yet never affecting you
Because you said I do
So I pause
Not giving cause
Committed
Able to resist it
Knowing something is wrong but I'm too strong
Not sure what it is
I want him, strange and new
My GI Joe, my reason not to be blue
I knew I was the assignment
The joke is on who
The joke is on me
Because I wanted it to be
Wanting his love
Reservation free
A little white lie won't hurt nobody
This was my clue
But why tell me truth
Or should I say half of it
Like sharing a goal
Never to get old
What can I say, it wasn't meant to be
My soul wants to weep but my spirit says why?
I saw it coming, you should have listened to me!

Deliver
God of ABRAHAM
De-liv-er, deliver
God I AM THAT I AM
De-liv-er, deliver
God of ABRAHAM
De-liv-er, deliver
God I AM THAT I AM
De-liv-er, deliver
God of ABRAHAM
De-liv-er, deliver
God I AM THAT I AM
De-liv-er, deliver me!

Jamala James Poem
I took the longer way around
I discovered the elongated path
I have gone through the mystery of life
I have seen those things that bring about doubt
I scaled the walls meant for me
I also encountered the things that I shouldn't have seen
What did I miss from the start
That caused life to fall apart
Now I watch the steps that I take
I first question a thing to avoid an escape
I shook and jive to remain alive
I had the Divine all the time
I believe that I will see the finish line
I will claim all that was and is mine
I too had a path I had to take
I reached that higher state
Of mind a thing I never lost
Of time that thing that forever taught
I'm ready to continue on this road
A place that's paved in gold
My wish for you to also see
That place of true destiny
Everlasting from one day to the next
Something that we will never regret
We took the longer way around
But we believe that we will still have our crown
You too I pray to see
On this path of true destiny

Jamala James Poem
Cast me to the seas that have shaken my soul
Throw me down for ignorance revealed as age old
Roll me asunder to the place my knees give way
Scourge my eyes for the things that went unseen in that day
How could I take comfort in a tale so untrue
I was not solid but exposed as milk laid and sopped
No glory is before them that gather at the base and await
Those who have fallen by the hands of that quake not by fate
