Betta At Home...

Your so fly
Your even willing to carry me and all my pounds to the sky.
And your so damn cute
From your head down to them size 14 boots.
Not to mention your style and grace.
I was so surprised you were willing to go at my pace.
To bad you'll never get into my place
Nothin' against your game
But there's a fact that still remains the...
There's way betta game at home
You see my man ain't just fly and he always carries me to the sky
And he ain't just cute he fine as all hell
So why you still tryin' to get at me?
Step back and let me clear my throat,
just so you don't misinterpret me.
My man is the best and as good as it's gon' get
He's so fly... he's carried me to the sky so many times all the angels know me by name!
And he's so damn cute...shit he's 80 times cuter than you
From his sea-sick waves to those size 16 and a half shoes.
Although you do have style and grace
My man's the one who put Brad Pitt and Denzel in they place
So baby please believe cause I wonn't deceive
I truly do got betta at home
Betta than you'd every have, even if you took out a loan.

Love the poem sistah! Keep sharing!

Well since that one was so well recieved, I think I'll dig a little deeper into my poem box. Hum...I just found another hopefully you all will like it also...


The Dove's Cry


Goodnight, my love
I'm flying high above
Together we'll be someday
But now its time I go away

Goodnight, my sweet
I'll think of you with every beat, until again we meet
Don't cry
Our love will never die

Goodnight, my dreams
Someday you'll understand what it all means
Weep not for me, whatever you do
For in the nights stillness I'll be close to you

Goodnight my life
I care for you still, even when we fight
You touched my soul with your love
And it sent me flying like the pure white doves

So, goodnight my love
I'm flying high above
But, before I soar across the sky
Let me assure you our love will not die
For when you spread your wings to fly
It will be to answer my silent dove cry


So what you think of that one? If you read this please respond.

That was truly beautiful. I'm impressed

That was really sweet....

I liked it too...

Peace,
Virtue

I am loving the poetry, keep it coming.

Baby Having a Baby

For my little 'sister'

A baby that's all I am
A baby having a baby is all I'm becoming
I thought i was ready
So steady in my relationship
He loved me... at least I thought
Loves not like, but in spite of our baby he doesn't want to stay

Everyday I pray, but still he goes away
So I walk alone
Alone
But not really alone
There's a baby
A tiny, little baby hanging in our fall

As I sit I watch all my dreams fall
My life has come to an unexpected stall
I can't deal
I want to cry
I wish we could have lived without all the lies

I can't deal
So I'll wait
Wait for that man in white to come and seal my fate
To come and steal the last of my love and life

As I sit and wait I can't help, but wonder
Wonder at my baby's eyes, whose will they look like?
Wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl
Wonder at the future it could have
But I can't deal.

I can't deal, I know
"Your only a baby" my mama says with a cry
With teary eyes I have to reply....
"Yes, a baby is all I am, but Ma a baby is what I'm having"

How Blind Are You?

For the abused and silent, as well as the observing.

How blind are you?
How can you be so blind?
How can you not see the shitty things he do?
I know they say love is blind,
But even love shouldn't make a woman this blind.

Love should never hurt as much as it does when he ˜loves you'.
His broken promises matches
You're broken noses and bloodied scratches
Black eyes to match those pretty black ties he wears

Your hearts bruised and bust.
When you gon' realize he ain't lovin',
Baby-girl he lustin'
Sex is the name of his game

Least I expect an apology for you
But do you ask...NO you mask the pain.
Acting as if I'm the one going insane
Let this be a lesson
Cause I'll be testin'

Uncover your eyes
See through his lies
See why I despise him
Punching bag you are not
Sagging eyes filled with tears
And unfounded fears

Drop by drop you'll see the type of bullshit I've seen
So again I'll ask....
How blind are you?

I felt "How Blind Are You" deeply. It took me back [emotionally] to late night conversations I had with a "sista-friend" who was in an abusive relationship. Damn you.

Great writing.

Keep it up, sis ... This is nice ...

A Dime A Dozen

Females come a dime a dozen
Something like quick fast and pop ˜em in the oven?
Please, then you need to come see me
Cause this female here is an original piece

The saying often imitated,
But never duplicated,
Is me
So come see me
Everything from the size of my waist
To the style and grace I generate

Females come a dime a dozen?
Not me
So, please come see me
Know an original piece
Nothin' like the others you see

Females come a dime a dozen?
Please, speak to me?
No, don't do that
Because what I spit back
You ain't even gon' be able to handle that

So, females come a dime a dozen?
Something like quick fast and pop ˜em in the oven?
Well then it's got to be
That what's good for the gander
Is good for the goose
Right?

So that's must mean...
Brothas come a dime a dozen

Take You Back

You say I should take you back
Why?
Because God would want me to?
Okay...so this is what God wants for me:

Sad teary days
No love or support in anyway?

Is that what He would want for me?
All the time I hear you say
˜It won't be that way!'
But in the past it was always that way

I'm not stupid
I'm not dumb
And I refuse to stay stuck under your thumb

Go find another fool
Because this one ain't gon' be the same one twice

I should take you back!
Why?
Because God would want me to?
Well, I'm sure my God won't hold it against me for leaving you

A ˜man' with no heart
Who knows we should part
A ˜man' who claims to "LOVE" me
Well I don't love YOU!

But don't worry
I'm sure love will find me
And I'll thank God everyday
That it didn't find me with YOU!

..it's flowing gurl... keep it coming.

Tired

I'm tired way down in my bones
I feel as if I've been beaten with stones
I'm tired way deep in my soul
I don't understand why I just can't let go

I'm just so tired
Feels like life gon' have it's way
I'm sick and tired of
Being sick and tired

I'm oh so tired of being this way
I'm tired and that's all I'm gon' say

On this here day I'm tired of the drama
Tired of trynna help like I'm somebody's mama
Girls and boys I tell you that I'm tired,
Oh so very tired.

I feel as though
It's almost my time to go
So hear me one last time
And maybe you'll be able to shine

Silence those cries
Dry those pretty eyes
I maybe tired
And I maybe sorry
But don't you even being to worry
Because as tired as I maybe
You know that I'm gon' overcome this eventually

Trouble

I'm in trouble
No take that times double
I need help
But I don't know who to ask
I'm tired of wearing this happy go-lucky ass mask
I'm not happy and
I damn sure ain't lucky

I'm in trouble
No take that times double
Woohoo, like somebody cares
I dare anyone to take some time to spare
I'm tired of being there
There to soak up your tears
And your fears

What the fuck about ME?!
It be just my luck for you to act like you care
Only to bring me more despair
You say I'm brave
Yeah, I'm brave
And damn near going insane

I'm in trouble
No take that times double
I need help
But I don't know how to ask
So what I'm gon' do is give you the task of your life
I'm gon' ask you to care,
Despite all your melodramatic tears
And them weak ass fears
I want someone to care!

Just listen to me cause...
I'm in trouble
No take that times double

Excellent work ... I just hope that you're not writing from experience ...

Are you?

HB:

A little of yes, but a lot of no.

Thanks for being concerned!

The Dream

Sitting
Waiting
Impatient
And Unable to take it...

One hour...
The hurt is thick
And the anger not so quick...

Two hours...
Anger is simmering
And tears are overflowing...

Three hours...
No one says a word
The truth is here
But I'm unable to bear it

Hours come and hours go
Life so slick
I can't help but to continue to cry so quick
My soft whimpers erupt into the still air
Setting out to let some one know I am here

I've been here...
Sitting
Waiting
Impatient
And unable to take it...

You're still, no heat; cold
It looks so much like someone stole your soul

Seven hours...
The man in white begs me to leave
And I begin to scream...

Eight hours...
No words
Just cries
No love
Just hurt...


Nine hours...
Red and white become one
And my blood runs cold
Steel is in my veins
As I continue to call your name...

No one feels the lose,
But me...
No one hears the screams,
But me...
No one sees you so still,
But ME!

Outside my world
Words come...
The cries end
The truth begins

Red and white are separate
And life works through you
Love fills me
And I see you,
Taking care of me.
So from you to me
And me to you...

I'm sorry!
