Can I Get Your Mother's Number


 


 

A balloon was rescued

Something more precious as the feel of the moon

the smile of a child


 

You conversed with baby girl as if I was not there

Suave, and you were debonair, wrapped in confidence, I wanted your power

Baby Boy


 

Arms around my neck,

Legs around my waist

feeling your heartbeat, I begin to hum.

The vibrations make us one


 

Rocking side to side, I say,

"Halil, I love you"

and you grunt with embarassment


 

Lying on my bed, your favorite place to be. I can see everyone in your face.


 

Observing your body language:

Right leg over left knee, and hands behind your head.

I am seeing my father as a two year old man

The light around you says you've been here before.

I ask, "Halil, who do you think you are"?

"Mommy move, can't see tv."

Can You Feel Me


 

How can you see me if your eyes are closed

How can you caress the wetness of my woes


 

Will you ever see my light

This divine beauty that shines in the night


 

How can you hear me if your ears are deaf

How can you hear words I am to preach


 

Give me your heart

I can heal a spirituality God's child can feel


 

.

Gentleman Wanted


 

Heaven send a gentleman

One with a song lovely as piano music

One that make me feel beautiful when we dance to it


 

Heaven send a gentleman

One with respect, honor, and security

One that will reform me to a little girl

Leaving Atlanta


 

+if you died today, what do you want done

-if I died today, you mean how do I want my funeral

+yeah

-who gives a fuck, I'm dead

+ok

-why planning on killing me or something, where did that come from

+I'm saying, what if you died, what do you want

-I guess if i did it would be you who would take care of things, I don't have anybody else

+I know that

-Man put me in a pine box and keep the money

+I'd tell your boy, "Kenny thought you was a punk bitch anyway"

Look at Me


 

Everybody knows I'm not smiling


 

Everybody knows my soul is broke


 

Everybody knows you hit pause and I'm not dancing


 

Everybody knows I'm in trouble

Everybody, except you.

.

Catch some love and put it in your pocket.

Don't save it for a rainy day.

Love Music


 

Finger tips and lips, kisses in the middle of the night

Hugs, so tight, wish I could push back daylight


 

If you can catch a collection of butterflies, cast your net below my spine

Tina and the R sitting on the Hill, sounds are so sweet, loves are revealed


 

Mirror me, and make it two

Fantasy: One for me and one for you


 

To feel life, rest your head close to my womb, it's the secret of beauty,

Tied to Earth and Moon

Lover's Quarrel 

 

It is a sin the way nastiness can pour from the mouth of

 two Angels in love

All I want is for you to walk these finale days with a 

Lighted umbrella

Mommy


 

I hope you're here forever

rubbing my arm and telling me I can do anything


 

Never let a man's wrong keep me from being strong


 

I love it even when you suck your teeth, because my

hard head won't accept the knowledge you preach

You seem to always know where I want to go. You feel my soul.


 

I hope it's reflection when I smile

Relax


 

Rise and inhle

Take my hand and relax

Slip into a comfort zone, I got your back

Fall into a dream, and release your fears

let your spirit fly

I'll kiss your tears

We are not ment forever, change is constant

Water a little love

Listen to your conscience.

 

Saturday-its mid morning

A gentle, you can't see me, but I got your back type of breeze

a life of her own she sashas through the house, sliding against me

just as I dezone from thought


 

Life like and full of play she carries the pine sol and spills it into the air

then dries the kitchen floor while I shower

what a pair

Take the Blame


 

I'll be the devil that robbed you of your trust

the demon that took control and made drugs a must


 

I'll be that bitch in your life

fuck her man and his wife

I'll be that thief, the violator in the night, got your security and your manhood, 'ight

I'll even be the liar, I didn't see, say, hear, or touch shit

all the while, tit and click getting licked

Your fam? Maybe your female friend or your man

Don't trust shit! Anyway. I ain't an all that chick


 

I'll be that fucked up individual, My man I'll still belitttle

turn off my pager and model sexy panties for a stranger

I'll be all of those things, if you need me to be


 

What I can be is the sun in the rain, the prescription for your pain


 

Kenny, I'm a flower in the storm. How long wil it last?

I'd like to be your future, not your past.

Niggas and Nickels

Come and go like time

Niggas and Nickels

aint worth a dime

Hard to live for the future and enjoy the now when you can still feel the foot of the past

 

on your ass. Mind over matter, and the strong survives. Careful not to kill my spirit,

 

because yours died. Count your moments to find they are intertwined with a thread of

 

waiting. Like I said before, I'd never take your shine.


 

 

Time to Go


 

I need you to go

I would love for you to stay


 

Together would be beautiful

I lost me when I found you


 

Maybe I should be stronger

Maybe you should lighten up


 

This is not love

This is not respect

This is not what I want.

Words of a Pig

 

Hey, what's up

I was sitt'n here reading your poems

and I fell in love over again

Baby I can't be mad at 'cha

So what's up, you try'n to see me tonight
