The Mother Dearest.

With her advancement in technology,

She's able to call me via FaceTime.

She's just filled with Joy and refreshed,

As the sister just had a successful surgery.

The night before, she was miserable.

We spoke about you,

And she asked if I was still gonna make that trip to the Amazon.

I bluntly replied to what she needed to hear,

She knew something was up.

She scolds me and said I shouldn't be a mess like my father.

At least I'm his son, and he's one of my only 2 competitions momma,

I try to be better than the man he is.

You know it's never going down well when we talk about dad,

You turn the tables on me and it's mostly damned.

I hate when I get buried for this, but you think after all this I'm going to be picking sides against you.

I hate when your insecurities come to play momma,

It belittles you momma, know your worth ma,

I really hate talking to you like this ma,

I really don't want to talk about this momma,

Every time this issue comes up I gotta result to my dark ways to calm down momma.

I worry more anytime I see you worry ma.

You taught me how to love and told me it's the only way out for us as humans.

I give them love and meekness ma but they need something other than that,

What more they want from me ma?

Maybe I need unveiling my bad side so they know better not to act holy at thou and cast stones.

We are all sinners so there should be no casting of stones in this momma.

There's really no love in this ma,

Only a few I call family,

Well at least I'm calling ma.

I'm working on this ma,

Less time communicating makes my absence been felt more than ever.

I'm getting old and you're getting older momma,

We are both entering new stages of our lives as we are living.

I'm setting out my life but one day you're gonna understand momma.

Don't lose hope in me ma.

Don't lose hope in me momma.

I love you,
The Mother Dearest.

Happy Birthday To Me.

Seeing how far I've come, I've got to say thank you Mom. From being the thing you hoped for, Now being the thing I hope for. This is me saying a happy birthday to me, And a multitude Thanks, to you mom. You are my saving grace, You both, I can't imagine where I'd be without you both. At age 22 I still cry to you, Well I did the other day on the phone, How I called you randomly and told you about how much I've missed and still miss Grandma, And you understood each tear. It's my birthday today, As I transit into that Jordan age. And even though the spot light shines on me today, I also take this time to appreciate you, Make my spot light yours. And even if there's no one there to glamour at your spot light, I'd be your exceeding crowd to wonder on your wonders. As a gentleman you've raised, You've always told me how a king should let his queen have the spot light. Your number one button I push...

Heaven's Angel

Countless dreams of heaven, I’ve had but never get to see the big picture in motion. She oozes of heritage that gives life, One that gives life to the dying and eternity to the living. She is of Selah, worthy to behold, You’re not of human that crown queen, But, Of goddess that make gods. I wonder what she thinks of me? I’m having not to jump the gun and move faster than my shadow. I doubt she even knows this? I doubt she even knows what she’s worth? Does she have the problem of the coloured girl? How do you define a black woman’s worthiness to herself? Perhaps I’m the missing piece for her realisation. I often say this but this time I feel it different. I hope she knows I want someone to talk to and listens, As it goes vice-versa, making for deep-level interactions. What is biology without chemistry? I crave telepathy interactions, I’m ready to risk it all again to have this. What is a bond without elasticity? And if I yet again l...

Untitled.

See every time we went out, Everyone noticed you and kept me at bay, Like I wasn't there. I hate when it happens. I know you're well known across these lands And I'm just a foreigner, On Strangers tide. Often time, I'll play the buster girl, Doing the who is? Call me crazy, Call me jealous, I call me greedy, But all I wanted was, The strings of our heartbeat in perfect accordance, To an unheard melody. All of you, And all that was in your heart was my desire, Felt like it was too much to ask. I know I had gone astray, And I needed a second chance. Who doesn’t? It looked hard, everything was against me, Even my own shadow was. The face I thought that shinned brightest, Couldn't create a spark during my dark times. Guess I figured why I was mostly kept at bay, Just a little too late. We were untitled.
