Poem: It Shouldn’t Take Courage to Love a Black Woman

When people pillage your mind and peace, are you compensated for the carnage?
Poem: Attention Seeker
Now I understand my vibration
was beyond your frequency
You couldn’t perceive me
beyond the physical appearance
you considered unworthy of your commitment
Poem: This is a test
if you do nothing
what happens
if I do something
or anything
perhaps one more thing
what happens

Who am I if not A creature created in the Image of love? But what is an image If not a facsimile? Non-original Incapable of being Authentic If love is a reaction to receiving For we love because We have first been loved Then what of the love That was supposed to pour into me?ContinueContinue reading “Poem: Have I ever loved?”
