Searching For Self

SEARCHING FOR SELF 

"I soak myself
With thoughts of
Fear,
Meditating, 
quietly I hear,
Nothing but,
Echoes of Anger and wrath,
I hear the ancestors,
of yesterday,
Long past,
I had goals and plans
To succeed 
But life was changed
Once in captivity field
I realized I couldn't 
Be me,
I was only accepted
When I was Becky,
Went to college
Study history lies
Thought I had truth
Until I started to cry
The fountain of youth;
Had to return
An be re-schooled
So much I learned
I wonder why
I spoke like them
Everything I did
Was to please them
I often wondered
When, and when,
This life of bruises
would finally end,
Mental slavery
Start giving in
Again,
I had hatred of self
No pencil to erase, 
Just stained ink 
And pen,
Of my ancestors days,
From beginning to end
Some still a slave 
Currency, a best friend
So many sleep
Un-awaken men
Philosophy follow
Oppresors  trend,
So much on my
Mind
Of life tragedies and
Crimes,
Like a clock 
I start to unwind 
My history,
It was so unkind,
A slave, been raped
Worked cotton fields, 
Massa said do it
Or thirty lashes it be
I see my ancestors 
Burried by trees
They've become the fertilizer
The old peach trees,
No one dares to eat
A history
I can't 
Repeat
So I soak
Putting my mind at ease
As I recognize
My Africa beauty,
I pour out
Start to be me
I realese the lies
And negativity,,,
My mind bleeds
New truth of me
Causing new anxiety
But I pause 
I see the real me
I take a deep breath
Relax and freeze
I meditate and release
This disease,
Of lies they sold to me
I am Africa
That is me
Jamaican, Haitian, American
All we, 
Just dropped off
Different places by sea,
Still in captivity,
So now I live 
And relax as me
Brothas and sistas 
Same as me
In diffrent countries
I see me,
I see we
Our spirituality,
Awaken unity, 
I see Africa,
A true beauty"

Silent Tears

SILENT TEARS

"Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

On this journey I feel all alone
I talk to you nobody's home
Empty my mind
Cordless phone
Trying to reach
Your heart,
Dead end zone
Plenty of times
I hit solid stone

Put up blocks
Trying to hide my fears
But it only produce silent tears
They never fall
Clear glue in my eyes
Killing my heart
Can you hear my
Dry cries

I tried to speak
You jump right in
So I stop
Let you ramble and sing
I laugh, I smile
Somtimes I grin
But my silent cry
Lies within

Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

I give you my love
You refuse to feel
Its like you are made 
Of Brick and steel
Sometimes I wish to reverse
The wheel 
But my love is deep
My love is real
Trying to be superwoman 
Now I no longer feel 
I try to keep holding on
But I've  become numb
Like a newborn baby
Can't talk sucking the thumb
I've become mute
Some say dumb
But it's my heart
Its come undone

My cry is loud
Can you hear me now
Like nimbus clouds
Rain is pouring, ow ow
The pain is piercing 
Like branding a cow
But I no longer can feel
My cry takes a bow 
For the tears are gone
Silence for now
For on the inside
Snowballs they pow
Pounding my heart
Trying to release
It now
But just like you
No bullet no plow 
Can get this heart 
It's brick and steel now

Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

Fire In Our Souls

THE FIRE IN OUR SOULS 

"Can our inferno be quenched
Two souls longed to be benched
In an atmosphere of flames
No one to blame
Attraction of spiritual planes
We both can tame
As we aim
To complete our
Journey the same
I can feel his burn
As he feels my yearn
We take turns releasing 
Our urge on physical planes
Our poetical lyrics
Are chains connecting 
The train on the right tracks
No looking back
Its fact
Our mirror image
Intact
We no longer lack
Together we fight
Spiritual attacks
Got each other backs
Our flames of fire
High stacks
Like casino
And blackjack 
At twentyone
We scratch
Walk together
We match 
Our internal desires
Law of attraction
Causes physical interaction
As gasoline pours
Explosion
Lit by one match 
Two cause a commotion
Our emotions
Pour like magic potions
Two tokens
Love devotion of
Our burning 
Heat
No retreat
Spiritual and physical meets
We go deep
No sleep
Clock strikes three
We repeat 
Allowing our heat
To release the streaks
As our fire breathes
Into eternity
This love energy 
We feel
We breathe
We release the
Fire of ecstasy
No surgery
As we complete
Our journey
A mirage becomes 
Reality 
Our love story from
Spiritual to physical
Matrimony"

Puzzled Me

PUZZLED ME

I am complicated
In a poetical kind
Of way
A masterpiece,
A jigsaw,
A journey
A maze,
Figure me out,
Like thick fog,
And haze
I have many pieces
Please don't  gaze
My mind thinks
Differently 
Some would say
It imagines life 
As scary, Everyday
It has flaws and pieces
Put together like clay
I'm afraid on the
Inside
Where my souls hide,
And play,
Tommy's my name
But Ronald's got game
I camoflogue well,
Each piece 
A story to tell,
Piece one
Piece two
Was all about you
The love cycle,
The time my
Cuckoo flew
Pick a piece 
It might scare you
Do you have the guts
Or are you afraid too
See the red piece
Next to the blue
Suicide attempt
Like a constant sneeze
Ahchoo Ahchoo
Today I'm John 
Tomorrow I'm Sam, 
Each piece represents 
A different man
Liar on Thursday
Single right now
On the weekend married
I know you wonder how
I'm no schizophrenic 
I'm Doctor How
I Alex takes a bow,
Don't judge me please,
Just a man lost
Inside of me
I see many people
Talking to me
I talk back
It puts me at ease
So here I speak
My poetry
All the lyrics
From the many me's
I'm Mr Complicated 
Did I make you freeze
Cause being like this 
Puzzles me "

Egotistical

EGOTISTICAL 

"I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted quit
I must admit
That this relationship 
Had an ego trip

The turbulence 
Was too often 
It kept shaking my heart
I'd rather keep it intact
Than have it fall apart 
For all the wrong we did
Glad to let go
Time we kill this 
The lying Ego 
We use to care
Show concern
If we'd only stop
Give love a turn

But we blew it up
A forrest fire now burns
All we do is accuse
And take turns 
While this ego
Wiggle like worms
Killing us both
Soon you and I
In urns
So I had to stop 
I had the desire to learn
Broke up with ego 
Cause my heart still yearns

I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted to quit 
I must admit
This relationship
Had an ego trip

No one wins
But ego will ride
Every wave or storm
It never hides
But shakes the ship
And watch the fight 
Who won the war
The battle was tight 
Put our souls at risk
Did we ever ask why
Tsunamis were better
Floods real high
Destroying the years
Silencing the cries
Of a love
That was a natural high
Ever wonder why 
We didn't try, 
We tell ourselves
Pretty little lies 
I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted to quit
I must admit
This relationship 
Had an ego trip

Unwilling to change
This illusion of control
Like the hunger games
Kills the soul
Causing emotional pain,
Giving ego lava
Sending hot rain
Crumble like cassava
We both lose
Love was the aim
But we invited ego
The relationship can't tame

I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy
Never wanted to quit
I must admit
This relationship 
Had an ego trip"

Musical Mind

MUSICAL MIND

 "In your voice
I can hear you
Yearning 
For love and care
Musical melodies 
Of pain radiating 
From your heartbeat
I can hear your soul
Vibrating to me
To save you
But your soul was
Never mine
It belongs to the
Divine
I'm an assistant 
For this physical 
Time
Let me help with
My Lyrical wine
Intoxicating your
Mind
Poetically line after line
Fill your spirit 
One of a kind
Of love
I was sent from
Above
Through me
Experience soul love
Physical flys like a dove
Through me 
You will believe
Set your soul free
From thoughts of anxiety
Not beneath the sheets
But mentally 
When your soul
Speaks to mine
I drown time after time
The Whispers are fine tuned 
I understand you
Circumspectly
As I see your bravery
A soul journey
Speak to me spiritually 
A love song lyrically
Divine
A melody so fine
Long distance line
Chimes
Do you feel the rhythm and rhymes 
Time we join lines
Life is roaming 
Out of time 
I hear your music
Do you hear mine"

Corona's Love

CORONA'S LOVE

I am the innocent victim 
held on house arrest 
eating one meal a day
no visitors,

I was put on lockdown 
for shaking hands, giving hugs, and kisses,
how can this be, as if I created the bubonic plague,

I never held a gun nor pulled a trigger
but they said guilty as charged,
with a curfew as if I'm 16 again
sneaking out to see a boy,
how dare they lock me up,

in a personal prision
with a glass box and I see
a whole nation with a new 
style of ankle bracelet 
as they monitor our every move,
in the asylum, of untold stories,

if I sneeze 
if I cough
If I have a fever
I'm guilty, yet I have none

they say Corona sold me out
tho I'd prefer Heineken or maybe Redstripe,
even a Malta would do,
but I never tasted corona...
but I bear the stamp
as if I'm back in slavery or nazi camp
I hold the I.D with a number while taking a mugshot as they stamp my forehead 
patient 21 Corona,

now quarantine alone with my thoughts 
I ponder when will I be free
as I now send virtual hugs, handshakes while blowing kisses in the wind hoping they touch the ones I love,

again in my thoughts all alone
pleading with Corona 
to set me free,
for the lie you placed on me
keeps registering guilty 
yet I never tasted you
as I was told you're bitter,

and in my thoughts
I've come to realize 
that I did taste many Corona's
which led me to cough, sneeze, and hold fevers
of parasites sucking me dry;
I regurgitate all these years
of choices I labeled mistakes to ease my pain 
now cage free I am a blank canvas
ready to be painted,
but this time I choose wine, 
leaving the sunken place
filled with drunks,
I am the architect 
building as I select colors
to mirror the soul
being set free,
I am the white dove
released never to return--- ~Queen'Anyah Divine aka Suzette Campbell
