Behind These Eyes

Behind these eyes is things I never speak

Pain from all the stigma on me

Hurt from all the stereotypes put on me

Anguish from all the mistreatment of me

Behind these eyes is something you don’t expect

I am a human I do have a soul

Why is every move I make scrutinized?

Why is everybody so cold?

Behind these eyes is a soul crying out

Who can I turn to when no one likes me?

What have I done to deserve this much hate?

I just got here. Why does everyone dislikes me?

Behind these eyes is a heart of love

Even though I am abused I still love

Even though I am misused I still love

Even though I am not loved I still love

Behind these eyes is a strength

To be able to carry on in this placed on shame

To be able to go on knowing all the lies

To be able to smile with a slandered name

Behind these eyes is a broken spirit

Tired of the world weighing down on me

Tired of seeing black women this all over

Tired of everyone looking down on me

Behind these eyes is a person

Not an animal or subhuman

But a girl, woman, lady, sister, mother

So much more than what people are assuming

Behind these eyes I have feelings too

Cut me and I’ll bleed

Kill me and I’ll return to dust

Love me and I’ll succeed

Behind these eyes are the scars

From the music and movies that portray me badly

From the people who want to do studies on me

From people telling me I can’t speak madly

Behind these eyes is a beautiful soul

That is not angry just hurt

That is not mean just cautious

That is used to being sad and no mirth

Unmanned Territory

I’m sighing, dying, awaiting your essence, your presence, that inner being, the real you, not the outside you, I mean the the one, the one, that stares through me, that subdue me, with those eyes, those eyes, that tear right through me, that view me, thinking, thinking of that kiss, that overpowering bliss, that I miss, Whenever you disappear, I grab my hair, I tear, I swear, I’m sinking, just thinking, unblinking, waiting for your return, return to my arms, my lips, my thighs, I’m all yours forever, until the end of time,let’s climb, Into new frontiers, Where love perseveres, unmanned hemispheres, Coexisting on love’s frequencies,  In our own indecencies, No one matters anymore, Their glances we ignore, Passion overflows, heating up everyone it touches, Now they too are in love’s clutches

Winter Walk

I took a walk on a winter’s day

I saw the trees and full array

The leaves were gone

The stumps so strong

I wondered of them

Every twig every stem

I sat down on the grass

I watched a leaf glide pass

I felt the breeze through my hair

The sun peeped unaware

I felt no heat from it’s dim stare

I then felt a sudden despair

I missed the sun

And summer fun

Then I saw a bloom

Smelled a flowers perfume

My heart leaped with delight

Spring was finally in sight

I hugged myself thinking of the sun

Soon it’ll be time for summer fun

He Is

O how his caress just melts my heart

I’m lost in everything him

He is a winding path less traveled

He is a pond untouched

He is the umph in my morning

That gets me going

He is the sizzle in my day

That propels me forward

Hmm hmm hmm

He is the twinkle in my eye

When you see me lost in space

He is the sensation in my right thigh

When you see me limping

He is the chills down my spine

When you catch me shivering

He is that song stuck in my head

When I’m humming to nothing

He is He is that feeling

When I’m smiling cheek to cheek

He is that other part of me

That part that fulfills me

That part that heals me

That part that distills me

He is that filter that leads me

He is He is He is that and so much more

He is mine
