Family

Poem

Never had I known what family was.

Had an idea, but never had the real deal.

Thought something, knew something was missing.

Can you feel the heat

Poem

Can you feel the heat

From the beat

The beat of my heat

It is strong and resounding

I remember cuddling late at night

Poem

I remember cuddling late at night

And I remember, he undressed me once

I remember, lovemaking on the vanity sink

And I remember, we danced together once

How dare you say I’m not that much

Poem

How dare you say I’m not that much

Of a woman as you thought I was.

All I know is survival

I don’t know how to quit

I don’t know what it is like to give up

I know you’ve been waiting for me

Poem

I know you’ve been waiting for me~

I’m coming, best believe~

You’ll see God

I stand on the sidelines

Poem

I stand on the sidelines and watch the goings on.

I see happiness, I see love, I see a family.

I yearn for a strong black

Poem

I yearn for a strong black

Man to just hold me

To love me, to understand

Me, a black woman

It has been 2 days now

Poem

It has been 2 days now

My heart aches

But I don’t want to cry

My mind continuously thinks

And sometimes I want to die

It’s late; very late

Poem

It’s late; very late

But I can’t sleep

I lay with my hair

Sprawled overhead

Loneliness, it seems so infinite

Poem

Loneliness, it seems so infinite

And so do these tears

My eyes can’t focus

I’m blinded by the fear

Save me, save me, I beg

My head rages with thoughts,

Poem

My head rages with thoughts,

Feelings and ideas

Thoughts of how to return or unite

My Pen is mighty & fast

Poem

My Pen is mighty & fast

I write down all my feelings

Then  at last ~ I can breath

With relief that they are out of my head
