Eternal
Eternal
Lover
You have been mine since your conception
If only you’d have known
My futile search was in vain
My patience tested
For what is to be shall always find its way
I pray
You can forgive my foolish errs
And grant me forever by your side
Battle ready
Our love has endured much
I lay down my arms now beloved
And surrender
The moment you said “I do”
The God smiled upon us
Knighted I felt among your royalty
Entering into this communion
Your kiss the last I shall taste
For I am yours
Eternal
Censor Me
Do not censor me
For My tongue won’t lie on the day of judgement
No matter your persecution
I entered this realm alone
And shall return the same
The lashings on my back from your torment
Will heal into a beautiful design
A lifeline to my future seeds
Who will call upon in need
My fist will still rise up
Even with shoulder crushed
And a cross bearing it’s nails
It will be the ones who came before
Who will lift me
And mount my soul on its throne
And with open cowry shells speak letters
Defining the past present and what’s to come
Life burning like a mystical dragon
Through the spirit of my spirit
No don’t you dare stop my indigenous teachings
Do not try to subdue me
With a false idol that fits your controlling ways
Docile for too long
I fight back with an embraced truth
No don’t you dare censor me
Becoming
Let me find my niche
Be it in the arms of a lover
Or a crevice in the ground
Maybe in words jotted down
On this or another medium
Allow me to paint my collective thoughts
On the canvas of my choosing
Please don’t stagnate me
With empty promises of love
Let me breathe an element other than oxygen
And exhale the boundaries which you set
You see I’ve known your type of adoration
I’ve bruised from your opinionated fists
My knees tattered from your control
I wish to open my arms
And embrace the ethereal
Where my soul can worship all that is
Be it in prayer or in just being
It’s more than just seeking
It is becoming
Who and what I am
Let me find my niche
Nirvana
I wish my emotions to sit still like Siddhartha
Under the bodi tree
Unwavering amidst storms and temptation
Let my heart rest assured in what you bring
Undaunted with barely a blinking of my eyes
Not a doubt would enter into my thoughts
Emptying past hurt and failures
Breathing becoming life
I would touch the foundation of us
To serve as witness
To the disbelievers as there would be many
As I arise from my transfixed state
Let me walk this Earth with a new found ministry
And when my bones have become brittle
I’d close my chakras with the last vision of you
Oh let me sit still like the enlightened ones
Having savored the nirvana of you
The Formula
What could I say
That would turn your eyes from looking for another?
If there was one word, or a slew of verses
Tell me, what would they be
I would venture back to the tower of babel
And plead the creator to give me the formula
To stop this confusion between us
My love
We just don’t understand
Like we’ve been programmed
To resist for the sake of resistance
On my knees I beg to know
If I recite the sacred word
Would you turn back to me
If I serenade you with muse more pleasing than the call to prayer
Would you run to my arms
I pray for the right vibration of sound
To spring forth from my lips
As to entice you to follow its formation
Tell me
What could I say…
I Made A Wish
I wish we had happily ever after
That there was no need for getting up and going to a job
That what we held was suffice to feed our bellies
And pay the bills
The ones that strangle the oxygen out of our kisses
I wish we had time to just hold hands
And that nightfall didn’t close my eyes
That deprivation of sleep was replaced with the energy of our chemical combustion
I so wish in the fairy tale
That one day children would read about this love
And memorize the lines we spoke to each other
That statues were erected to honor us
And millions would begin a pilgrimage to it
I made a wish my dear…

Thank You
You have made the sun come out in the darkest of days. I want to thank you for showing me true love. As I shed the past, you build a new.
Blessed!
Missing You
I will admit, I’m missing you
Funny how we see the good and tend to forget the bad when loneliness beckons
The more I hate you
The more imbedded you are In me
Oh how the heart refuses to release the connection
The bitter pill of reality while you seek refuge in another arms
Why wasn’t I enough?
So many questions left unanswered
I pray to the universe to cut the ties between you and I
In hopes to be able to breathe again
Goodbye…. My love
You will always be…
I may not be perfect, but I certainly am real. I’ve made my mistakes, I’ve hurt people along the way, mostly have hurt myself with my choices. But all I can do is get back up, brush myself off and keep moving. All praise due to the almighty, as long as I have breath in my lungs I am blessed. With that Mi Gente, I will forgive those who have wronged me and I will forgive myself. Pa’lante!
