- What You Need to Know About Me:
- I am also a crafter, jewelry maker, have an online store and do animations. But my biggest desire is to share my poetry with the world. In it, people can relate, laugh, cry, learn & be healed. I am a humble and "old spirit". I take no credit for the gifts I have. It is through God that I aquire these things. I've been writing ever since I was a teenager. Writing is therapeutic for me; a way to escape and release. Whatever inspires me, I write about it. I'm quite versatile. My poetry is my testimony, my life, my story.

BLACKNESS: To The Black Man
BLACKNESS
To The Black Man
Velvety chocolate skin
So smooth and sensual
Enticing and divine
Absolutely delicious
Incredibly fine
Masculine and tasty
From your head to your feet
Magnetically appealing
A tantalizing treat
You send shivers up my spine
Having me to find…that
You got me craving for your body, your soul and your mind
Like diamonds in a bed of coal,
Your smile shines brightly
When I look upon your face
You excite me, you ignite me…

AMERICAN ME
In this land on which I dwell
are countless stories left to tell
On the blood of my people
their toils and strife
How their sacrifice changed my life
Every time when I hear the wind
I hear the messages
my ancestors send
They remind me to
fight for what I believe
There are no boundaries
to what I can achieve
They told me life
is not a box,
being suspended in chains and locks
Work hard and succeed
And not be consumed by greed
Discern lies the system may tell
And don’t get caught in it’s malignant… Continue

Innocence
As I reflect on my pilgrimage with nature…….
I peer into the night sky, filled
with stars
Lost by their infinite number
I stare in awe and amazement
by its benevolent beauty
An abyss of sparkling lights
not knowing their destination
as they float through space……
I ponder and then feel at peace
and become one with GOD
I’m on a tall, grassy… Continue

How Many Times Lord?
How many times Lord, must you send your wrath?
How many times Lord must we suffer in the aftermath?
How many times Lord, before America falls on bended knee?
How many times Lord must we pay for this stupidity?
You said to love one another, as You have loved us-
Your greatest commandment
I just don’t understand, how our government can say…
“In God we trust?”-
in a country divided so thin;
where the practice of mockery dwells within…
My country ‘tis of thee?
Sweet land of liberty ?
Of thee I sin… Continue

THE GREATEST GIFT
The greatest gift, I ever got
Never came gift wrapped or in a box
The greatest gift, I’ve ever known
is what I’m glad to call my own
A gift more precious than silver and gold
A gift of the greatest story ever told
The greatest gift that was given
is the greatest gift received
When a Great One came forth to die
on the cross for me
It started in Bethlehem
in a manger low
Where a star proclaimed a birth
in it’s radiant glow
Born to a carpenter and a virgin
chosen by God to do his will
Aware of… Continue

This was a definite tease; I have to find out what happened and who the stranger was. An exciting story and characters to be believed. I want a "taste of this novel.

I'm glad you liked the Gandhi quote and I definitely agree with you. As a matter of fact, the Gandhi quote is at the end of all of my outgoing emails as well as on my website.
Have a wonderful week!
