Writer's Block Wednesday (#26)... even though it's Thursday

This week's word is sympathy. After pondering on it and reflecting on past experiences, I came up with this....

Nothing left to say

copyright 2011

you heard me

but you failed to listen

you fell

for his smile

the one that lingers in your mind

even when you're not in his presence

got mesmerized

by his scent

manly

yet fresh and so clean

got captured

by his eyes

hazel and alluring

seeing yourself in the reflection

got lost

in his embrace

those strong hands

roaming

exploring

caressing

and teasing

got caught up

in the words

falling from his

full lips

deep sexy voice

telling you

I love you, Boo

You the best I ever had

You complete me

I'll never hurt you...

you took

his hand

he stole

your heart

you fell in love

forgetting all about

the tears I shed

when he was my man

the stories

i shared

about how he did me wrong

you heard me

but you failed to listen

he left you

with a broken heart

tear stained pillow

and a negative bank account

i have

no sympathy

for you

the warning signs were there

you selected

to ignore them

and now

there's nothing left to say

Writer's Block Wednesday (#25)

The word this week is LOVE...how befitting with this being the week of Valentine's Day. Love is a simple word with such power behind it.

So, here's a simple poem:

Delicate Intervention

Let's meet

over a glass

of iced green tea

Have a conversation

about you and me

Let's talk awhile

so we can see

if you and I

can agree

if this relationship

is truly meant to be

Writer's Block Wednesday (#24)

It has been almost a month since I have posted for Writer's Block Wednesday. All I can say is, "thanks for waiting for me."

The word this week is SKIP. This word took me back to my childhood and the games we used to play. So with that being said, here is what I got. As always, reflect, relax and enjoy...

childish games

Since the way you are acting

can only be described as

childish

i must break it down

for you

like this...

1, 2

we are through

3, 4

leave the key to the door

5, 6

not falling for your tricks

7, 8

forget the code to the gate

9, 10

you're stubborn so i'll say it again

one two

there is no more me and you

three four

don't wanna see you anymore

five six

this is really it

seven eight

your sorry is much too late

nine ten

peace out cause this is the end

game over

you lose

Black History Month

As a Black woman, I think it is only right that my first post of February be in honor of Black History month. The short piece I am sharing tonight is one that I came across some years ago, but it has stuck with me. So much so, that I have it posted on my refrigerator! The art work accompanying this post is by none other than Frank Morrison.....he is indeed an inspiration.

Happy Black History Month!

Black Is

by KALI

Black is something to laugh about

Black is something to cry about

Black is serious

Black is a feeling

Black is us... the beautiful people
