V

She was just another girl 

Another notch in your belt 

Another name to scratch off your list 

She came harder than you expected 

She was just as you'd imagined 

An empty shell being followed by storm clouds 

You took her last drop of self 

And left her lifeless as she wept 

Fell to her knees in solace 

Asking God "how did I get here" 

Became a slave to your touch

Even your call resounded and vibrated her bones

You only brought her out to play

When one wasn't enough

Now she's lost

What's she going to do now?

If it wasn't for you she'd have everything she always wanted?

But how does she get back?

Where did she go? 

(To be continued) 

All I Want

Caution

Take caution 

Reach for me

Yearn for me

Take me

I'm yours 

I'm yours

Give me 

Take caution 

I want you 

I love you 

Are you ready 

Take caution

Fuck me 

slow

Ride me

Go low

I love you

Go slow

Take caution

Precaution

I want this

I want you

Love me...

Wait!

....That's all I want

Just love me

The Journey

Once you find love

You fall into romanticism

Diving and searching for words that inexplicably complete the definition that binds you

One to another

“…You are everything

And everything is you…”

Words you jot down when no one is looking

The air is sweeter

And the sky is more indigo than blue

More desirable to the eye

To gaze at in amazement

"Oh how it feels to be freely in love"

And yet for a moment, you forget

That everyone isn't so open to your love

Even if they see happiness beaming from your sweat glands

More than plenty have a few words to describe how they see your love

And you wonder to yourself

"How can they not see what I see when I look at....?"

And yet they never do

Even when you show them from every angle

They remain blind

Their idea of what love should be for you, isn’t what they see

They don’t see their own image, so they denounce the existence

It is not until you

Stop the cycle of “people-pleasing”

And regain your stance of being un-phased by their opinion

That THEY see

The love you have for THEM

Once you find love

A battle seems to transpire

The harmonious war of “us against them” rings

But

It’s through the trenches that you realize

How strong your love is

How deep your faith is

And worthy of IT is to have ALL of you

Or none of you

That’s when true love is birthed

And the superficial façade sheds

It isn’t until then that it becomes real 

Give Her Something... Something Like November

Don't be afraid to get you a drop

Get you a taste

Alter your day 

With just an essence

A little bit can take you places you never imagined 

Let the flavor linger on your tongue

Exhaust your mind with every tastebud it arouses

Inhale that aroma that you love so much 

Give thanks to the Most High for such a creation...

Don't leave without giving it a tickle... 

You might just find...

She can't go the day without giving a little something to you, so that you can think of her all day 

SHE (pt 1)

SHE keeps me...

Elevated, motivated

SHE teaches me...

Patience, endurance, power

SHE catches me....

Falling & shields me from the ground

Afloat I stay 

Because she stands in the way 

SHEs the original 

The only 

The one you never saw coming

Timely 

Essential 

SHEs undeniably the ONE 

And I can't resist

Because without us...

We don't exist...

SHEs moved entire mountains 

And I've crossed oceans

And even in the midst of torrential rains...

Life without her, is merely existing 

Not living... 

Lost Girl

What if I....?

Up and lost you

Lost everything dealing with

Tossed you to the side like an old pair of shoes

Like an unwanted stem from a dead rose

What if I....?

Did everything but

Try to keep you

What if I....?

Let you slip

Let you fall

What if I....?

Gave up on you

Forgot your name

Dropped you like a pen

And never picked you up again

Walked away, never to return

What if I....?

Became you

Lost myself in my THINGS

Measured my happiness by the weight of my pockets

Measured my friends by the accessibility to night clubs

Measured my love by what LOOKED good, rather than the feeling

What if I....?

Lost myself like you

Can you remember you?

Can you decipher real between counterfeit?

You're continuously caught up

In the happenings of the world

But what about you?

Who are you?

Where are you?

Trying to keep up with the latest

Yet your soul needs to be renewed

What you value becomes old by nightfall

So daily you're chasing the next NEW

When will you stop

And return to you?

Have you lost... all of YOU?

19 & still harboring a mind of a child

Dancing to reep a harvest

And even putting-out to pay the rent

But what happened?

Your ambition turned from tangible to mere fiction

Somewhere along the lines

You got lost

Smeared your name on a piece of paper

And forgot it

Forgot your own name...

How could you forget something you were born with?

What if I....?

Became you

Would you see YOU

Would it be like looking in the mirror?

Would it help if we all threw up our mirrors

Made you face the world you've created

Realize you've lost yourself?

Would it help?

I hope one day

You see you

Before its too late

Before who you are becomes who you will always be

And the life you created starts to backfire on you

Until then

I hope this finds you...

Wake up...YOU...

Wake Up

You can only be as captivating as you feel 

Lately I've been my own escape 

Wrapped up in my own head

Forgetting about what I want to give to the Universe

And to receive in return

Lately I've been searching

For a new fix

To revitalize my urges

Get me back to my center

Awaken the artistry I let sleep for months

I let her rest for awhile

Now it's time to wake her up

Shout out & call her to position 

Front & Center... 

"Wake up... No more time for dreaming..."

Stand to your feet, return to position

React & act out what you've been believing
