...you know that a good, long session of
weeping can often make you feel better, even
if your circumstances have not changed one
bit.

TEARSI am 50 shades of blue
The water keeps seeping through my windowsOut through the pains
It rainsIt rainsIt rains
In London and in Spain
It rains in BangladeshIt rains in VancouverI am 50 hues of black
Dark and destructiveMy thoughts
are obstructing my view
Whenever I think of youIt rains....

STOLEN COOKIESHe stole my cookies,
My gift to my husband!He stole my identity
He stole from my children.He stole my strength,My will to fight!
He stole my hopes for the future,He stole my light.
When he stole my cookies
He stole my life....

WHEN THE DAM BREAKSI have so much to say
But I shy-clam-upI start out great but get nervous
The day soon approaches when I'll dropthese crutches
When these insignificantInsufficiencies no longer hold sway
The dancing and merriment to be experienced
that dayYou can only hold water back so long
One day it will swell and break the damWhat a day that will be
Then you'll see me for who I am...

PEKAI opened my arms and held youIn the realm you originated
When your spirit visited
I was so inquisitive to know youTo smell your fragranceAnd touch your soft skin
You breathed me inAnd I exhaled you
Now beautiful and free with brand new
garmentsThe moment I saw youMy heart fell softened
And I emptied my vesselTo see you grow
Then my heart was shattered as I watched
you go...

INEVITABLEI am inevitable like growth and change
I'm the explosion that created us
Like the Phoenix crashed and burnedUnder the surface life was lurkingAnd pulled back the curtain
For cultivationLike a daisy breaking through the concrete to
greet the sun
The journey may be toughBut the rewards outweighs the sacrifice
After the battle we celebrate
But uncertainty is our posture
Through the pasturewe foster our dreams or fears
Breathe them in the air and manifestI am inevitable
I was called forthSo mother spit me out her mouth
And so I amInevitable
ImpenetrableUnbreakable

THE MIRRORI can see the tears welling up in my eyes
They cry so oftenSoftening my resolve
Every obstacle an un-solved mysteryConstantly repeating history
Joy stealers lurkStudying contention
Holding hate conventionsSpreading dissension and lies
With transparent alibisAnd wicked eyes
They will destroy everything in their path andlaugh at you
Regardless of all the good you doTheir heart is black towards you
Is there a place I can run toWhere the wicked can't come to?
Not on this plane
Where light hides behind the darknessAnd watch as it flourishes
Mourning its demiseWith swollen bloodshot eyes

TAKING SUGGESTIONSI am open to suggestions
Who has the solution?I am open to forgiveness
but my soul screams retributionWhats her excuse for prostituting her
children?What's yours?
Of course you are exempt
You exclude yourself from punishmentYet punish the compoundwith your crew and your whip
Circling the weak like vultures in a valley
following the stench...We are indignant with your treatment
We are mortified and enraged
Yet we rot from the insideInstead of setting the pace
We are weak and feeble and incapable at bestSo we act out our anger and puff out our
chestsTake it out on our neighbor

and the children nearbySince we can't rebuke the source that's
making us cryI try to rise above itbut my feet get entangled
and I fall back to the groundThen they kick me because I'm down
but I'm open to suggestionsAnyone have a clue?
Enlighten meCause I'm so through...

GRATITUDE FOR WATERI am water@least 70%
I am water
And it's no accidentAs above so belowIt's in the cloudsIt's in the snowIt's in the airIt's in the rain
Without water we wouldn't remainIt's the tears I cried
The lake, the riverThe plant, the flowerThe trees and fruits
And vegetationWater it would seem
is our salvationWe need it to cook
To batheTo breathe
And if you cut meI bleedWater...

LOVE REVOLUTIONWhen will I let this thing go?
What's the purpose of holding on so strong tosomething for so long that doesn't serve me?
Expending negative thoughtsand wasting energyWhat is the meaning,
When my heart craves changeI stand here willingly
Complaining that its killing meWhile it's filling me with rage
Stranger than fiction
Too complex to decipher
I don't want to be herebut I can't leave here neither
I know I canSo what holds me hostage?
Whose prisoner am I supposed to be?
Could it be I am in positionFor loves retribution
Could it beThat I am obsessing

Because I'm destinedTo start a revolution
Women against destroying virtueI know they disregard us as simple
Weak and futileBut I dare them to run one mile
Without womb-manRun as fast as you can
You'll get nowhere
Where would you be now
if I aborted youShirked my responsibilityTo bare and nurture your offsprings
These things happen too often
But have we ever stopped to ask why
When we spit in the sky it falls in our eyesThe truth is an offense
So we camouflage with false pretenseand ulterior motives
Instead of being devoted to each otherWe frustrate kindness
And act from blindnessSo, when will I let this thing go?
I won't let gountil you learn to love me

I won't stop until you purify your thinkingI will not let go until you cease operating
from your baser instinctsYour lower chakra
I won't let go until the struggle is overNot until you understand
And transmute that negativeTo a positive

GET OFFEvery time you lie to me
You die to me a little moreI bend
And calmly retrieve my hearts piecesFrom the floor
Once you were my worldNow; just a dark corner
I respected you
Now; I scorn youWith all your dramaHow did you fall so far from graceWhen once you were a god to me?
Now fed up with all your fallacies
How could you get caught with your handsburning?
Yet still deny the fire?You're not learning
So you just keep at it
while I watch youburn to ashes
I don't know where you wentAnd I don't know who this is

Perhaps while I was unawareYou snuck in your representative
I can only ascertain from your actionsYou haven't an ounce of remorse
When I find rest in loveYour decisions shame meI try to work it out
But I still can't change me
I despise your foul offering of halfheartedcommitment
I won't pretend I agree with your positionYou can do betterand I expect the best
Are you suggesting I dumb downAnd come down to where you want me?
I disdain that I must disappoint
But that's not what was taught to meIf you want me
Give your heart to meBe a part of me
Work with and not against me
Your empty promises leave me hallow andjaded
We would have made it if you were honestBut true love requires letting go of your heart

To grab hold of mineYou kept yours in your palms fisted the whole
timeYou weren't open to receive me
Or you wouldn't deceive me so oftenDeception alienated the tender heartThe roller coaster rolled on endlessly
I had to get offEven though it was heart wrenching
My soul was parched and needed tendingSo I freed myself from bondageThen time healed all the damage
Once I got off...
