Peace to all the Kings whom nurture, protect and provide for their child(ren) every single day. You’re supreme individuals.

Peace to all the Kings who are expecting and preparing for the arrival of a newborn baby. You’re loved and valued.

Peace to all the Kings whom take care of children whom aren’t biologically their own, yet still protect, provide and nurture their growth!

Peace to all the Kings whom raise their child(ren) on their own. You are amazing individuals and need to be celebrated daily.

Peace to the King in my womb. Swimming around and kicking mommy every day, reminding her how valued her life is!

6+5

I asked you if you would still respect me
You told me not to worry
That you would take my fears away
With every stroke of pain you caused
We lay nestled on the grass as nature witnessed this union
Planes flew over our heads

You laid your jacket down as you punctured me on a bed of flowers
I opened for you like daisies in full bloom
Your eyes pierced into mine as you removed all guilt with your fingertips

Your lips replaced pillows on this makeshift bed
My brown eyes were fixated on the blue skyline after every deep breath that was exhaled
My thoughts resembled cumulus clouds
I held on as you pulled me closer
I clenched on the grass for support
The sun went down but you continued to rise
As we lay there intertwined...

The [Law] Of Attraction

No comments:
He was in love with me
All of me But it was too late when I finally noticed it
In his eyes I could do no wrong
I was perfect
When I cried he didn't see pain, he seen rebirth
He stares at my number in his phone, wondering if he should spark conversation with the woman of his dreams
He wishes he was the one I seen, explored

He had dreams of picnics in July, museums in the nighttime
I would be his brown-skin muse he would draw from
He would watch me eagerly as I undressed in the mirror for him
The sounds of his camera flashed
I danced to the rhythms of his lense
My voice would make goosebumps appear all over his skin
I yearned for him
Hotel rooms would be our escape
New York was the meeting place

Two separate souls united in the midst of distance
I imagined one day exchanging rings
Collecting foreign paintings
With him

In his eyes I could do no wrong
I was perfect







The Reign

No comments:

You make me feel like the rain
On a mild spring day
Raindrops cover the grass as they politely welcome them back onto their evergreen blades
You make your presence known
The nights approaching
You combat the sun with your storm of plight
The volume in your tears form puddles of opportunity
For men
Ready
To rescue damsels in distress with their overcoats
You overflow - Yet always deliver natures daily need
Your aura is best combined with Thelonious and Miles playing in the background
Setting the evening's tone


The cloudiness in the sky set the city asleep but the apartments alive
Your drizzle on the windowpane
Spark a plethora of passion
The downpour of your precipitation makes it easy to assume positions of penetration without much speculation


You open up flowers to full bloom in the stream of your darkness
Giving them room - to grow
To expand in your wetness
A delicate delicacy

Your shower caresses their petals - igniting a burst of floral fragrant bouquets
Your hail impacts the tulips the most
Her hands grip the edge of the King bed
He holds onto his Queen
I travel through his faint moans
High off your sound

I'm elated that you came for me
Covered me
Rained on me
Forming a liquid crown around his head
I want to reign with thee

You make me feel like the rain
On a mild spring day...

I used to close my eyes & think about my death while the world still carried on. But one day I smiled knowing my soul will never leave.


Traveling Wombman

No comments:
The energy you share with someone is soo important. You give only to receive the same energetic waves. 
Do they match? 
Does it overpower?

Do not limit yourself when finding, seeking or waiting for love. Who says your 'soulmate' lives in your city? 
Your country?

We settle for people in our cities, or countries because distance is too hard for us. Too time consuming.

But what's love if its too easy?
Travel the world, fall in love, write about it.

You Remind Me Of My..

No comments:
I don't like to drive
I rather you take control
I would stay by your side as you take me miles and miles away from home and beautiful foes
Can we ride to the edge of the world and travel where the sunset never ends
Light and darkness will wrap around this two-seater of ours
This stealth mobile is our home
We make love in the back seat as the radio changes tune
You whip me into shape
When I sleep you rest your arm behind my head
Soothing my soul
We have travelled great states in your homeland you eagerly wait to escape

Take me there
Back to the place where I felt free
Free of judgement and insecurity
The weather danced on my skin like the soca monarchs in the street
The trees whispered secrets as they wrestled in the wind
The blades of grass comforted the soles of my feet
The water swallowed me 
Taking me to a place nature had abandoned
I was made whole again
Take me there 
Where the sand nourished my skin

When you look at me what do you see?
A troubling gaze into a terrified soul?
Or a woman who unlocks heaven through the windows of her eyes.

Naptrelle: Natural Hair Thoughts

2 comments:
This piece was a long time coming. I've resisted the urge to write how I feel on the given topic due to the various implications it carries, however I feel in order for those to understand, you must teach and educate those who are oblivious. 
Stereotypes:
  • ● When you have natural hair it is as if you are immediately categorized as a strong black woman, burn incense, write poetry and play Erykah Badu. 
  • ● Mad at sistas who wear weaves or perms
  • ● Vegetarians OR only eat organic foods and use organic materials
  • ● Only listen to concious hip/hop and love soul

  • and typically darkskin with coarse hair

While many women going through this process may feel/do these things it generalizes each person who may have various reasons on why they are going natural.

Journey:
I decided to go natural last year, September. I was in the shower and was beyond disgusted at my stringy like hair that fell off without touch. I got the scissors whilst looking in the mirror and chopped off every straight end I seen. It was not only a liberating experience. I felt more beautiful and free. I neglected my hair for soo many years and wanted to start from scratch. 
From that moment on I was in the process of rebirth/revival. 

Discovering myself without the perm was a interesting experience. I no longer had straight tresses, I had to discover my kinky, coily hair I was born with. 
I was upset that I hidden my crown for soo long. But my throne was now uncovered. 


Far & Near | Rip Daddy!

No comments:
I originally wrote this on Monday, August 24th, 2009 | I would wake up in the middle and the night and feel someone looking over me, watching me. I lost my father to a senseless act of violence when I was one years old. He was killed in the projects. Regent Park, Toronto, Ontario. I haven't been the same since. How could you love someone soo much you barely remember, I ask myself. It's something that transcends beyond reality. 

A man that will never have the chance to walk me down the aisle, smiles politely as he watches his daughter grow up. He is proud of me I hear. The wind tells me as it presses against my ear as I walk alone at nights.

I live in his name. His daughter who resembles him through vanity, personality, hustling, substance. You're my first King. You watch me blossom into a Queen from the nature around me.

Tony is what they call me.


You lay far from here.
Resting eternally
Faint smiles grace my face
As I think about your life.
Your passion for life.
Your dedication
Your sons and daughters
Your love for my mother. .
I wonder, if you think:
When will she give up this strife?
Of carrying me on..
Almost 16 years coming, and she always held on.
My place where you lay in my heart
Forever -
It will stay strong
As long as my heart beats
Your subtle, gentle love will prolong
I will never forget the face
of the first man I ever loved.
Your chestnut
light brown eyes
Piercing back
identically to mine.
I hear that's what we share in common, all the time.
When wild and graze thoughts run through my collective mind.
I look in the mirror
I reminisce about the -
time spent, and time lost
In times of sorrow
I reflect and look into the dark blue, midnight sky
wondering if your looking back at me. .
Wondering -
why God took you soo early - from me?
I smell your dark, musky scent
Even though you are far
I know you are following my footsteps as the days go bye.
Always steering me out of danger and surprise.
Everytime I need you near
I look into the mirror to see you, one more time.

Rip; August 24 1965 - November 17 1992

Her name will remain, her words will reign.
What I set out to do won't be easy. But nothing in life is.
