Just A Thought

How did I get here
does it really even matter
if nothing changes about the way
you react to me

I was made from the earth
I am the earth
now that's something powerful
to state

How dare I, right
what you believe
is your privilege
what I receive is my inheritance.

Switch

I can do it just like that
especially when the flood gates
weren't opened yet
I can do it just like that
the flip of the wrist
the blink of an eye

Love is real
soft, pliable and resilient
but love is not for sale
not from this gal

One cannot take my emotions
lightly although I'm a loving, giving spirit
the Agape of me is the breezy
but the heart of my love takes
ethics

I can do it just like that
switch direction, attention
and affection
One can be left with the more
than empty that we started with 

Surrender

I can't get married today
But I want more from him
Than just a midnight fling
I hear him singing melodies
That I wrote with my words
But I'm thinking
Giving in to my whims
Like a whisper
Has to be sinful
Because it's too much
Fun
To be so carefree
With the essence of me
But I've lived so long
In this virtual world
That I deserve to visit
My dreams before I
Land on eternity

Go to Sleep

Poetry is my escape
It's where I go to get away
From get away
I can't sleep
But I don't wanna stay awake
Closing my eyes is the simplest
Body function
Next to breathing
I close my eyes
Yet my mind keeps racing
And then my fingers wake
Start to tapping
Grabbing
And squeezing
A pen
A pencil
A crayon
Then I write a sentence
Draw a colored path
On canvas paper
So I can escape
Away from here
But even after I've traversed
The inside
Outskirts
Of my cerebral
Brain
Inner thoughts
I wind up back
At the beginning
Of the end of my last verse
Poetry is my getaway
And music is the wind.
