I wish you could see yourself beyond your reflection in the mirror

Protector of all, destroyer of none, I wish you knew your worth

Do you have enough backbone to stand for your woman? I know your ribs are weak

Take the darkness from your words and transcend them into comely ways

Remove your stain glass heart and replace it with a foundation of brick but a surface as delicate as a rose

Make all women and girls just as precious as you do your mothers and grandmothers

Teach us something for a change

I wish you would use those  same hands you use to grip body frames with to pick up your children

Etch good moments into their memories because there is nothing more disappointing than a could be

The same effort you put into being seen at he club, use that hustler motivation to finish school, be the boss

I wish you took the time to understand the meaning of King; male sovereign

Don’t aim to be ruler of the streets but be influenced by great things

A lot of mistakes are understood because a man cannot grow up to be a King if he where never treated like a Prince

if he never encountered a true Princess, how could he grasp preparing for a Queen?

Words mean nothing unless you move your feet soon after

Every now and then these males need a constant reminder your nothing like this world portrays you

Understand you where made from dirt but not worthless

You are the foundation, the first, THAT determined your worth

We as women were made soon after, to be a help, so why are we tearing our men down with words

that we could not speak had it not been for him?

We have live higher, we were made for

The Naked Truth

Eyes of the elderly, she has seen everything under the sun

Don’t need no proof when everything is on display

A force to be reckoned with even her own shadow is jealous

Soft whispers of everything fake bouncing off the walls

She would rather be exposed, because whats surprising when you know the nature of a beast?

Young carnivor, ready to eat

Only sleeps if her eyes will permit her, you can try to convince her but first you have to catch her

Her moves be swift, young jet setter from here life will only get better

Don’t ever tell her your sob-stories about pressure

She's a dream catcher, so save your symphonies for a campfire

Flames will illuminate the liar

Comfortable in her sun kissed skin, so she need not fall victim to compliments

A young Andy Warhol, she turns her words into a living

Her cipher keeps spinning, her beginning never ending

Exposed

No sugar toppings, no cover ups

She is naked

Now whats more truthful than this?

Default Love

 I wish you could see yourself as I see you, and with 20/20 vision this has got to be the most perfect view

Stars will align at the very thought of you, making more visible the beautiful soul in you

I want to wake up to the string symphonies of your heartbeat

I always knew I could hear music but I never imagined we could meet

What gives your voice such a sultry tone?

Who is the composer of your songs?

How is it that only your eyes magnetize and pull me in

I cant even fathom what category to place you in

Your personality dishevels my thoughts

Where do I even fit in?

If you birthed a son he would live in your legacy

Your daughter would try to find a man to live up to your excellency

You humble every part of me, you give new life to the word chivalry

Its not always about a door being opened or you holding my bags

Your inspiration is the best gift I have ever had

All that Ive written in this poem I could never recite to you

So prayerfully something I do moves you too ♥

The devil will creep out in any form of man, huslter, college boy and even one who claims to be God fearing

But one day I stopped answering

Very strategically he placed his decoys in front of me, my mind is playing tricks on me

Rarely showing face in the day where I could distinguish from a lie and the truth

I used to give up too much of myself for you

Free spirit

That’s soo ironic because with you I never been free

Convincing myself this would somehow validate me

Superficial touches, kisses that meant nothing

I was robbing myself of my royalty

Now I know a lot better than to part these knees unless a man is willing to get down on one of his to make me his Queen

I overcame, not even ashamed because a lot of women take the ish without the porcelain

I sat down with the old me saying "I love you too much to let you hurt me, us" I found the true meaning of trust

See love doesn’t come when your intertwined in sheets

It’s more mental than physical, when your physical your mind stops working, thoughts off the clock

Love doesn’t show its face freely to baritones in your ear changing every thought of yourself

When you lay down you take on every spirit that occupies their body and you wonder why your thoughts dont sleep

Wanting to be loved, well now you got more than you bargained for

So now there are a million glass hearts suspended in air

One absent minded action will send them crashing to the ground

You can be just as beautiful without ever having to be touched

Precious artifacts belong behind glass anyway

Never to be broken, smeared or lose its value

I’d rather be harder to get and called stuck up, changed, or think I am too good

Because I AM

And so are all of you

Mr. Samsonite Man

How could I have given you more of me when I didn’t even have all I needed?

You wanted me to feed your brain, while I was starving

This love was slim, no chances for growth

All I could remember was yesterday’s promises, a bad after taste on my heart

Acid reflux 

Tried drinking water but what’s the use of drowning in my sorrows

Mr. Samsonite man you carried my heart from city to city

Yet your bags where always empty

Feet moving way faster than your lips, you keep running from the inevitable

Questionable

They way you explain your intentions

Twisted magician

How could I have given you more of me when I didn’t even have all I needed?

Well I found it, but you’re much too far to see it
