Ink your memory on canvas Daydream of your blush melanin skin I could drink from your lips Night owl at your poinsettia Never to forsaken;   Could one be so besieged by the first Desire a second And still be wholesome?   Could one be proportional devoted To the butterfly And the bee?   Among the rubbles of treasures Envied was among Gold; Tanzanite Within the wilderness Lullaby you became Never to forsaken;   ©  Christena...

I went too far when I stripped myself of dignity and pride I went too far when I began knifing my pain into a bleeding puddle Just so I could compete for your affection So engulfed by you that I was willing to harm my sanity Into body dysmorphism I would kneel and wash your feet with my tears Kissing your hands as if it was a rite I went too far when I sold myself, cheaply When I gave my soul wholeheartedly to the grim re...

Each day I wake, I see th...

Every night I walk into my house He attacks me with his fearless paws And those fierce teeth He scratches my flesh and he barks vulgar words I see wickedness in his eyes When he has done Trampling on my lifeless body He sticks out his tongue to show victory This is rather a weakness I am there Bare Crying Tears flows down my cheeks I rise in my bed He is there too I married an animal My husband behaves Just like a Dog. Ch...

Bartender Pour me some more Let me stumble through the back door Let the police Smell the poignant aroma of rhythm and blues Collide with my Genius creative expression Handcuff me for resisting being silent Check my breath for the bubbles of a drunken poet Spitting up words and rhymes Expressively with profanity of poetry Charge me with intoxication Verbal sensation Before the judge I plea guilty Poetic confinement recomm...

Thouest my love Flattering like a sparrow Chirp and sing Melodies Then thou art Take this love And let us travel Like travelling musicians Breaking down China’s wall Rebuilding Berlin Asleep we lie In the kings palace Take this heart As if we were Romeo and Juliet Underlying passion If we must die I wish to die In love Holding you With clutch hands Like sinking titanic Whisper Soft In my winters heart Slowly Take me into...

My poetry emanates from The Supreme Being God Poetic ink flows through my Veins And my heart is wrapped Like letters That has been written Permanent Poetry is like a compass That a pirate uses To find his treasure Poetry makes me yearn And reach for the highest Altitude of my potential I serve poetry And poetry serves me well I ask the master to teach me The student to write Poems as if they were Psalms and Proverbs Poetr...
