Opposites attract
They say They say opposites attract, I suppose they were right to think that especially for us. For i was naive and you wanted to deceive I was as pure as the driven snow And you were dark like the concept of a Jane Doe. Opposites attract. You secretly wanted to attack, I just wanted you to love me back. You...

Premium Member Lost All Sense
I gave you everything I had All of me I held nothing back I believed You were a man of integrity But you were less than honest You broke every single promise You made me. I've lost all sense I just can't perceive How you could use me And just leave I'm blind to the sight Of your face I'm numb to the feel Of your embrace I try to breathe...

UNLOCKING THE *****
The new becomes old, and no one notice When the old was new, there was a motive To plan ahead and take liberation back When negros were mistreated and under attack Before then, we were royalty with a mighty purpose Before being enslaved by the ones who convinced us, we were worthless We were transformed from riches, and they took our...

Just Friends?
He says we're just friends, But if I don’t Talk for a single day, He grows restless, searching for my voice or my text. When I rest my head upon his shoulder, His hand finds my cheek, gentle and caring, —As if protecting something precious. When he takes my hand in his, It feels like an unspoken promise, —A quiet vow lingering between...

The Blood Remembers
In the shadow of Newark’s bricks and bones, Where the pavement hums with moans, Where mothers pray with open eyes, And sons are born beneath gray skies— The blood remembers. The land remembers. And still, the chain extends. They paved the streets with redlines and lies, Gave promises in powdered smiles, Then pumped our schools with broken chalk, And silenced dreams when we dared...

They want our rhythm but not our blues They envy our natural melanin yet tan too We wear our style and they call it hood They copy it now and say it’s all good They want to erase our heroes and heroines Because there’s a power in the skin we’re in King, Tubman, Malcom X, Garvey and more are Past heroes...

You are on your own
The Journey of Unity In the tapestry of life, we wander, Threads of hope unraveling yonder. "I am because you are," a truth so profound, Yet in our pursuits, it's lost, never found. Chasing tomorrow, a mirage in our sight, While the present whispers, "You're missing the light." We gather...

Emotionless
"Sometimes I wonder if you could ever know, about my feelings—emotions that I can’t feel anymore." "I wonder if you could ever understand, the words of my poetry—But then again, poetry isn't about words—It's about all the emotions, a writer feels—Meanwhile, I'm not even sure if there's any emotion left in me—After you." ...
