What Is Your Favorite Rapper Feeding You? #poetry

What is your favorite rapper feeding you? / Do you believe it’s true? / Is it soul food? Do they tell a truth that gets you in a mood? / Is he good dude? / Or a dope chick? One hell of a lyricist? Or the type to keep diamonds on top of their wrist? /

The Mystery of Black History… #Poetry

There is a certain truth that moonlight brings/ That truth is as sharp as Valyrian steel/ Sharp enough to slice through a lie/ this particular lie/ you chose to believe just to satisfy/  The basic needs of a man’s vanity/ This lie pisses me off at times, but I’ll try to get through this without […]

Queen of What?

The Queen of hearts broken/ Possibly/ The Queen of humility not spoken/ Humbly/ The Queen of everything hot like steam/ The queen of broken dreams/ The Queen of a fear that makes lovers turn mean/ Incredibly/ Does a Queen cause her King anger? / Maybe/ Does a Queen turn a King who was her best […]

Certain individuals of my past (in the confines of romance) have been the type of females who cared a lot about what people thought about […]

Underground or Underground #HustlerzCode

“My husband, my mentor, my lover, my friend. The only thing better than exploring your body was experiencing your soul. Listening to you share your wisdom while you accepted my truth without passing judgement or implementing boundaries. Making me live the life of the Black Butterfly you insisted I be. I am yours because I […]

The Warrior Drums of Her…

She came to me like warrior drums in the distance/ Love was on the march towards me/ Yet the rhythms were different/ Steady and true restoring the faith that love is persistent and constant/ Mute on any music that says otherwise/ Her love came to me seemingly random like the water that flows down the […]

A Beautiful Death

A good friend of mine came to me in confidence and told me that he was sad to see me because he had a dream that I had died. He said the dream was very vivid and that the dream felt very real; also he said that he even went to my wake in the […]
