A girl told me once
Not to call her “sexy”.
She said its kind of insulting in
But after she broke it down for me
—kicking her knowledge—

What is “black privilege”?
My “brutha”, you have no privilege
You have but Right.
Yes, you heard me right
You have but one.

I’ve given 1,000 speeches
Yet, in your presence I’m speechl
Being face-to-face with the epitom
Is truly thought numbing–
too surreal.

I’m rich in knowledge.
I have a conscious mind.
I’m aware of how my people became
Slaves and Christians at the same
Going from kings and queens

The angst of life
Keeps me up at night
Thus I write letters
To or For
The love I fight for–

Let your pen be your
Knife, and paper be your wrist
Bleed onto the page

The assured sunrise, it fills them
Those impish smiles; insidious is
They can’t contain urges of perver
Meteors causes catastrophe, then
Eventually learns to be selfless.

I realize I’m the last person
You wanna hear from right now;
After all, I’ve brought nothing
To your world, but rain–
Knowing the ink on the page

Where did I leave me?
Have you seen me lately?
I’ve been missing for a few days n
Truth is, I can’t even button dow
The guy in the mirror.

I’ve set sail into the
Deep dark blue.
I’m a Navy seal
With no crew.
Expatriated.

You call me your
Knight in shining armor
Because after your DARKEST day
I manage to BRIGHTEN your nigh
You call me your

Endless stars fill the night sky,
Dazzling– bewitching– stars.
Stars that could stun
With a simple twinkle.
Many nights spent stargazing.

On the Battlefield there’s many w
Death on the frontline, standing b
The ambrosia that is sweet victory
The aroma– the smell– casting a sp
But the taste, its taste is foreig

When she was gay and innocent-hear
Never giving less than all of her
It didn’t take her long to realize
When with pigs, all is just never

Poems hold a full conversation.
You’re Face-To-Face with the pag
My words are my Eyes...
As you read along you’ll
SEE what I’m saying.

Minds, brighter than the sun
Reading poetry for fun
We’re the poets
We’re romantics

I’m in love with a ghost..
She’s not really here in one way o

Women..
Such a fine speciment;
So wise and divine.
Oh, and you can’t forget about the

There’s something different about

Your eyes are paralyzing
Your smile is contagious
And your lips are addictive
Your body is an island

Man...
What a night.
I did this and tried that

Whoa...

When I hold you,
I don’t want to let go.
When our eyes meet,
I never want to look away.
Underneath the moonlight,

Her beauty makes other

Her smile is so alluring

But add those days up–
All the way down to the

It’s ironic that you crave “beauty

Going to the gym, without
A membership, is the friend-zone;
You’ll never be where you want to
Barely showing up,
Just like I’m barely listening–
