The Perfect Man
The Perfect Man
Ladies please don’t be jealous,
but I can’t contain my joy.
I had to tell somebody.
I fell in love with the perfect boy.
You laugh and say I’m foolish.
No man like that exists.
I tell you that you’re wrong,
you’ve never met a man like this.
He worships the ground I walk on,
and he knows me inside and out.
He tells me that I’m beautiful
at times when I look my worse.
When I cry,…

Bound by Time
At all times I am yours,
for all time you are mines.
The potent glue that seals us;
we are bound by time.
Lost in the moments,
the seconds fly by,
But the memories that exist
are endless, if only in our minds.
Husbands chained to their wives
gladly awaiting death to depart.
Parents attached to their children,
invisible strings tug at their hearts.
But our love is not held
together by vows or by…

You thought they were intelligent because they had a degree,
Thought they were nice, well groomed and elegant
Because that's all they let you see
It never occured to the trusting mind
The dirt and foul odors facades leave behind
What you see and hear ain't always so
There's a heap that sees and a damn few that know
The man that will break your heart is always kind,
You'll never know the carnage he left…

I think of Ellison not being seen
And the agony of Huges' deferred dream
I muse David Walker's appeal
I think of Elizabeth's unconscionable school days
Plessy's trolley ride ordeal
The churches that were maliciously set ablaze.
Billie's bitter crop
Miles and Satchmo
The Rosewood nightmare that wouldn't stop
The cottonseed they had to sow.
They helped me to understand
And gave me a nutritious place to…
