Quality Over Quanity - A Supple Revelation

My motivation to make healthier choices are my niece's eyes & supple sweetness. My nephew's knowing smile & contagious laughter. The promise of the new seed soon joining our family. I don't want to miss a drop of their Wholeness for the next 100 years! Only if its rich, full, indulgently growing & changing, righteous, sweet, delicious, nurturing & beautiful. ;D Lol.

Truth -- I am not here for me. I am deeply and passionately in love with me & my life, but not one morsel of this Human Experience is about ME. I'm here to serve, offer, fulfill, bring, do, build & rebuild, destroy, grow, cultivate, birth & rebirth, continue, elevate, edify, evolve, show, teach, learn, reveal, shelter the Light for its warmth, study the darkness for its lessons. Live my Purpose.

I come to be progress at work. Death is completion of my mission. Being I've been close to my close twice, yet kept alive, my Existence has Divine reasons beyond me.

This is NOT about ME.

My longevity means nothing if my life is not being lived in the fullness it was created in and meant for. I am the Full Moon.

Beyond. Present. True. Infinite.

Untitled (a Palm Poem)

life is beautiful
and can only get better
after the treacherous storms
comes the glow of iridescence

Present Tense

we began as lovers
then became friends
as you cared for my mornings
after my nights.
i was no longer your affair
but an evening into flight and fancy.
it seemed so damn easy,
until you decided
you no longer desired my flesh/my scent in your hair
or aura flowering your soul
as it grew wildly in your presence.
you didn't need me to satisfy your hunger
yet begged i soothe your wounds/as your comrade.
love can be so blinding
because i'm here/i stayed
and do so...

Open Letter

i've rode angry
traveled hurtful
shook hands with embarrassing
and kissed the cheek of humiliation.
i faced off with my fears
softly held my worries
and coddled every tear
...my well has not run dry/but i've given up dipping
for fresh water.
i've prayed hard for days
asked forgiveness/rebuilt trust/and let you know
i've grown & matured.
i miss our friendship
and shared laughs,
but i've said all i can say
done all i can do.
there's a divine purpose & reason
in what i've lost in/with you
its taken me 5 months, 21 days, 9 hours, 30 minutes
and these fleeting seconds to write this poem
...yet I've grown indifferent to hoping you listen.

The Artists Frustration - A Haraka Writers workshop poem

THE ARTIST'S FRUSTRATION

I am found in a lost generation
So, within I seek liberation
and find myself soul searching
all the while, truth is lurking
hoping to find a home in ignorant minds
I am the tie that binds
So I nurture my mentality
to whet the appetite of our dry reality
I sing songs of freedom
to redeem what's to come
when I find what I'm searching for
my soul salivates for more
and as I share my wealth w/ our Nation
somehow my thoughts get lost in translation

...that's the Artist's Frustration.

The Lotus Within

THE LOTUS WITHIN

petals open wider
soft sweet whet with appetite
for more
for thickness
for deeper
for richer
for nicer
reaching for higher
and taking every dewdrop in
opening
for more
i hear the music wrapping new streams of sound
to my silence
She plants a new seed for every open pore
in my supple skin
Mama Earth befriends me so divinely
this love is so decadent
i cannot be selfish with Her
i share the water through the Sista Wit
i grow from rich soil and plentiful root
Sprit
Soul
Mind
Heart
Body
all in sync with God in Me
you feel her?
you see her?
she walking with you
crying with you
dancing with you
furrowing her brown too
on the same mission
from beginning
may this journey
never
ever
end.
release. ommmmmmm. release.
