Poetry (The Raconteur)...Happy birthday.

I fell in love with you at age 6,

The very night I looked up at the sky and saw the beauty of the stars.

That very night,

I penned down the most beautiful thing then in my eyes,

Created by one of the greats, Celine Dion.

Every night in my dreams,

I see you, I feel you.

How beautiful you were and still are,

How beautiful you make expressions come to life,

How beautiful you …

Wait,

You know I can go on and on to tell you how beautiful you are but still wouldn't find the right expression to tell you how beautiful you are.

You know you're my saving grace,

You know you changed my suicidal thoughts the very day I penned down The Poem from my last collection of art.

It felt like the Holy Grail.

I remember the first day I expressed my art when I was 16,

It felt beautiful,

Then I realised how powerful words are,

Then I thought about how bad my dad must have abused my mom and that shit turned me into a real sicko.

But Solace I found in you on my pursuit of happiness,

Hopes and dreams you sold to me for my talent,

Hopes, dreams and reality you sold to me for my art.

I am Scripturient,

You are,

Poetry.

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...

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.
