Pot of Curry

Belly full
I said it full full full
It full
I’ve never went to bed hungry
See my granny always cooked some curry
My grandfather loved it
And when she’d ask
What you want for dinner?
He’d reply cook curry
Even though she cooked some last night
He’s quick to remind her that it was chicken curry
So they could do beef tonight

Naturally the first dish that I learnt to cook was curry
And he’d eat every bit of it even if it
tasted funny
He’d set me up a pot and coals in the back yard
He made sure I learned to cook every type he liked
See my grandfather always kept money in his pocket to feed us
Together they made a super couple
They lasted for nearly a lifetime

My grandmother was good with a broom
Or an umbrella which ever one would chase out the fast women faster
Memories eh they just come to you
And I smile as I remember that I never went to bed hungry
Cuz there was always a pot of curry

Badu Said

Badu said
‘ love of my life, you are my friend’

See when the gates opened up and the choir sang when the most majestic one asked me what I wanted most out of my life
I said a love for life
See my soul hadn’t entered the capsule that would carry it as yet
My memories of my past life still fresh in my mind
I knew what I wanted and before I was born into this world to live a brand new life
I wanted to ensure that I asked for the one thing that had kept me sane
The love of my life

I remember the first time I saw your soul
It glistened so bright
I had no idea what you actually looked like or would look like lifetime after lifetime
I don’t know if you would be male or female
I just hoped that I could find you in that insane place called earth
See you didn’t only glisten
Your halo hovered above your head
And when we faced each other
I knew what I felt was love
Love unconditional so much so that even Hercules would bend his knees
And ask to be yours forever
Superman would forget about kryptonite
And the devil he would forget about being evil
Because when the higher being created you you were love filled and you stayed that way

And I
I
Just want to be a part of that miracle
So I asked for the love of my life
And when those words caught your ears
You floated to me
You took a part of me and you promised me that we would find each other
Because what I’ve found in you
You’ve found in me
And together we
Are reborn
Only being able to see glimpses of ourselves long enough to remember our pact

Ms. Badu
Said ‘Maybe I’ll see you next lifetime’
Not like broken promises
But wishful thinking
And I’ve seen you every lifetime
Loved you for many
And I ask for the same thing
Every time I get to heavens gate
I ask for
The love of my life
See many take it for granted but you’ve always kept me steady
Kept me safe
Regardless of the earthquakes
Floods, wars, drought
Whatever every lifetime brings us
We face it together
And like Ms. Badu said
‘Love of my life you are my friend, love of my life I can depend without you baby seems like a simple true love’

Drummer Boy

He beats my chest
Much like drummers do
The passion never fading
Just smooth rhythms
That bellow through my soul

See I waited for you not to save me cuz shit I’m an independent lady
I waited on your lips though
Waited for them to grace mine like Jesus waited for satan to change sides

See I needed you to hover near me
Keeping me safe and warm
Safe and strong
But you are still in my mind
I seem to recall the days
When I dreamt of your eyes
Your smile
I had only dreamed of a love filled man
My tiny mind had no idea of sexual pleasures and favours
Or heartbreak
I remember getting on my skinny knees
Choosing my words carefully
As I prayed for a man as strong and as exceptional as my grandfather
I remember asking for what my grandparents had
Beautiful love

Still you beat the drums and I dance to the rhythm
Like my feet had waited patiently
Stayed in a corner at the club
And just held out
Only waited for you
Like a long walk in the Sarah’s desert
No water only hope and faith
A knowing that I would be found
Would be loved
Would dance to the thumps of his drums

Religiously I seem to find things in you that keep me upright
Keep me grounded
Feet planted so deep in the earth
That I am never moving
And like that big strong old tree that shaded me in the desert
You’ve appeared as not a mirage
But as a reality of what patience and prayer can do
My heart beats and it’s melody is orchestrated by you
My drummer boy

*Disclaimer*

Sexuality

My sexuality is mine
It’s mine to own
More importantly it’s mine to explore
I’m ignoring you
All of those glances
And looks of scolding
Of disapproval
Shoot I don’t owe you nothing

My sexuality is mine to own
To explore
So if I feel like shouting about it I will
When I tell you that I feel at home in my body, in my skin
I mean it
And when I tell you that I make my lover my subject I mean it
And when I tell you that on my last exploration he almost made me see into a parallel universe I mean it

My sexuality
It’s mine
It’s not yours to break down
To shrink me
To show me the rules in societies big invisible book that tells me
That I should not be so proud of who I am
That I should ignore my sexual self
Because you’ve made no room
For me to completely love myself
I will tell you all to kiss my ass
And maybe when your lips touch the beautiful softness of it
You will want to run away to bask in the wonderful-ness of your own sexuality
My sexuality
It’s mine to own
To explore
To control if I want to
I own you nothing

Dear EX Video and Poem

Hey guys this is my second recorded poem, please take a few minutes to listen to it, enjoy it and as always feel free to leave your feedback..many thanks

Just click on the link below 😀

http://youtu.be/TMzfw2h9F-o

Looking back at what ‘we’ had
I think it’s only right that

I
Douse fire on what was
I was so in ‘love’ with you
That my eyes glued shut
To all of your stunts
Your man-nerisms

and your
Lack of penniless trust
I was in love with the thought of what could be
But being a youth caused me to
Dive into you
Blindly
Hoping and praying that my loving
You weren’t taking
For granted
You screwed me in round one
In round two I awaited you

Found you
Between the limbs of another

So young and dumb
Naive

To give myself to you
As you walk around with bragging rights
Like you must have paid a hefty price
To roll my name off of your tongue
With a grin on your face
And my scent on your tongue
a gleam in your eyes
Telling your boys
That
man
She was mine once upon a time
She could have been the one

But
The light slowly fades away
And your eyes start to reveal the lie
That your words have echoed for
Sometime
I laced her
I never loved her
It’s long done
No feelings I hold
She’s too ‘inner’ herself
Watch how she walk around
Like she owns the road

But love

You’re an EX for a reason
And while you lasted in my life
But a season
I learnt a lot and that is the reason
For the words that I’m speaking
Once an EX always an EX
And I may of drunk texted you
Screaming come back baby
Baby please, cuz I love you
And the illicit words I used
To say I wanted you in my bed
Both night and day
Was just me at my weakest moment
Ones where I was blatantly being stupid

So gwan go tell your boys that
I don’t talk to her
But my family numbers you got
I don’t care bout her
Yet it’s my name running out your mouth
I don’t have her number
But my friends you always talking about me with

I’ve put ‘US’ down
To moments of needy-ness
And you just being there

Like that old rag doll that no one played with
So yes my EX
You can say whatever you want
But as long as my name you utter
You’re fooling no one
I’ll go back there never

Late night calls
Panties may be wet
But I’ve learnt to think with my brain
And not my heart
I’ve learnt my worth
So I’ll be no stomping ground
Your number I don’t have
Your actions matter not
Chicken heads you ran after
Kids every where
Life is not your happy after
Blind to your own short comings
You’ve never had my heart
Only my lust

So walk on by
With your head buried in the dust
Cuz I have grown
And like a drug addict that has
Realised the wrong and detriment of their ways
I come to me
The girl in the mirror
And I promise her that
He will never be a friend
Just an EX

Someone who now means
Less to me than the dirt beneath my feet
I promise you that it was a lesson learned
One that can’t be refunded, abandoned, returned

Dear EX
You are no longer wanted
Needed
My heart is closed
My mind is in control
So do me a favour
And move your tent

You’ve been evicted
Stop camping before me

Hoping

That I’ll somehow end up in your bed

Dear EX
It’s over
No hard feeling’s
No tears
Dear EX

Good-bye

~T.T~

Just click on the link 😀

Here are the words to the poem:

Magnificent Man

My words flow off of your tongue
Like water on a ducks back
Hear me you must
As your toes touch my hands
I feel your nervousness
And it excites me
It moves me Intrinsically
Causing my heart to palate
Transcending us to a place
Where you and I
Morph into one beautiful trunk
Like a tree that has grown over
One hundred years
We stand strong against
Climate changes
We weather the storm
As we jump off into waterfalls
Birds sing
And the crashing of the waves on the rocks
Bring drums to our song
I’ve never done this
Yet I’ve imagined it a thousand times
You and I
As bare as the day we were created
Your hazel eyes scan
The mahogany that my skin
Stays true to
The sun dances with it
Like its found new light
A new shade to play with
You you you
Are a magnificent man
With hair so soft it curls itself
Eyes so deep
I constantly get lost in them
Submissive to the powers that they
Hold
My knees they buckle
They bend
They fold
You have me under your control
Like a child I stare at you
From head to toe
My curiosity it leads me to explore you
My knees they buckle
Your touch sends electricity through me
More-ish urges to feel more than just your kisses
I blush from embarrassment
I’ve never done this before
Yet
Here I find myself
At Kaieteur falls
Here I find myself in your arms
Here I find myself never wanting
To let go of this feeling because
You are this magnificent man

~T.T~

In your arms (happy lady)

I want to be where you are
Feel your touch
Taste you lips
Heaven must feel like this
The journey to get to you
Leaves me tired and confused
You’re well worth the wait
It’s like getting to,

Getting to destined gates
You make me feel
So amazing

Baby when I look into your eyes
All I see is paradise
A place we have created
Just you and I
In your eyes I see our lives
Together again
I cannot wait to touch your lips
Feel your body warmth
Your hands
On my hips
As we slowly kiss
Man I’ve dreamed of nights like this

In your arms
I am safe from the world
In your arms our souls
Take control
Our destiny lies in our grasp
In your arms I’ve found my comforter
My protector, my shoulder, my strength

My all
My love
My joy
My smile
I’ve found in you
In my arms your love sings true
There’s no other for me
No there is not

There is no one else for you
I’ve made sure of it
I’ve prepared for you
All of my life and
No other will ever fit you
The way that I do

Our hands fit perfectly together
Our hugs are seamless and tender
Our lips meet just precise
Our love is intense
Full of might
Yes I have waited and waited
And now that you’re here
I’ll give all of my love to you
This I won’t fear
For if only for a moment
It lasted I just might
Be happy and content to
Have felt such a love
One so pure and sincere

I’d give up my whole world
Just to hold you and kiss you
And tell you good night
Just for once in my life
I’d give it all up tonight

Your love it moves me
It soothes me
It keeps on track
It wooo’s me
And saves me
From a life filled with crap
You have rescued this heart
And I must say thank you
For being who you are
You are my shining star

My guiding light

So I’ll love you and keep you near me until the end of time
My best friend
My confidant
My devotee
My all
Just this once in my life
A moment will last forever
And with you
I’d have no other
You’re my god sent

My miracle

The reason every breath I take is sweeter
Just this once in my life
Happiness has come to save me
And I thank you
I thank you
For making me
This happy lady

I thank you
I thank him
For making me
This happy lady
I am this happy lady
For your love has liberated me
It came in guns blazing

And ripped out the walls that

Secured my heart
It’s made me
This happy lady
You I find irresistible and it is that trust

That has saved me

~T.T~

Torn

Stone cold heart
Freezing thoughts
In your eyes
I see who
I used to be
I want to love you back
But I cannot
I love him
Not you
I love him

Your tears they do not move me
They do not break
Or shake me
You had many years of my life
A few good memories
I turn to the bad ones
For they outweigh the good

I cannot love you
My love feels for him
You placed me in his arms
You sent me there
Not intentionally
But you did
With your heavy hands
And dark eyes

Regrets,
We both have many
You are the best thing in my life
‘I know’ I say
It all comes back to this
I love him
His hands are soft
And his eyes are warm
He will not hurt me
I love him, not you

I love him
With his warm soul and loving eyes
I have always deserved better
You have shown me that
Like sirens you drown my
World in your confusion

Like angels
He brings light
And clarity to my world
I love him
Not you
I love him
Not you
Understand that
Respect that
You had bruised me
But he has healed me

I love him and not you
I choose him and
Not you not you

~T.T~

I love Her

Strong
Tall
Weak
Humble
Wise
Bubbly
Hard-worker
Nurturer
Mother
Sister
Friend
Girlfriend
Wife

I love her

She stands tall
She stands strong
Accepting life’s every test
She succumbs to no pain
Depends on no one
She looks out for us all
She is the epitome of a woman
I strive to be like her
Her smile warms my heart

She let’s nothing stand in her way
She love’s us all
She makes sure our hair is combed
Our teeth is brushed
Our homework is done
She makes sure that we trust her
That if we have a problem we seek her
She is amazing
She is the woman that showed me
What life is all about
What it means to love
What it means to be yourself
Because nothing else matters
If you are not true to who you are
She has made sure that I ate every meal
That I chose my friends wisely
Picked the right partner
She taught me to value my body
To know my worth

She is the woman that I look up to
She is my role model
She never let’s anyone or anything put her down
She is the reason that I stand here today
The reason that I only cry happy tears
She is the reason that I see past the world’s two toned colours of black and White
She has helped me to see it in so many colour pallets
It is beautiful, multi colored, rich
My world is condensed with many opportunities and I love her for it

I love her because she helped me find my way
I love her because she let me be me and she loved me for it
I love her because she brought me into this world
I love her because she has held my hand when life seemed confusing
I love her because she gave me life
in so many ways she has breathed life into my broken and battered soul
She has taught me that my true beauty lies within that the superficial is ok to have

But it is not all that makes life worth while and exceptional
she has done so much and this is only the beginning of what I plan to give

I love her because she is made from love
From the rib of a man
Her silence speaks volumes
And her tears break barriers
I love her because without her
There would be no me
I love her because she love’s me unconditionally
Her eyes tell me many stories
Her soul serene and deep
Her words offer me much sleep
Her scent is just heavenly
I love her
She is majestic
She is unique
She is my father

My comforter

My rock
And I will follow wherever she leads

Her wisdom shouts loudly

She leads the blind and helps the weak

For this and so much more

I love her

I love her

I love her

Writers Note:

I love now more than I did yesterday, forever and a lifetime is the length of time that my love for you will reign supreme, unconditional love is what you taught me and unconditional love is all that I have to give you. Thank you, you beautiful woman 🙂
