A Poet/ess’ Divine Flow

honored by the thoughts,
or lack there of…
humored at the audacity…
unfazed by your outsight…
of my expressions of Self.

but it is a must that you know,
a few things that are for certain,
don’t make the useless mistake of thinking it’s for your sake,

that I convey my love, my anger, or my fear,
my joys, my pains, uplifting, or drying tears,
encouraging true love, persuading strength…
to go on,whatever my soul unfolds and presents;
it is not for the undesired’s hearts’ intent.

no, don’t you stumble on your own error,
thinking my words are for your unwanted pleasure,
you don’t like the exact words that I choose,
don’t care for the particular paths of, which I muse

either you comprehend it, or you don’t
some desire to, some won’t,
don’t prefer my flow,
keep rollin’ …down the river, keep strollin’…

I’m gon’ keep evoking words and melodies,
holdin’ it down for The Divine Poets & Poetess’ flow-ing with me;

lovers of truth and depth gon’ stand,
to hell with the rest, it’s a part of Our plan…..
Even then, understand….

these thoughts are mine,
from within me,
my creativity is divine,
I don’t think of opinions,
when I’m writing on the lines of my mind,

I deep dive into the great sea of my inner being,
flowing through the waves of eyes, smiles, hopes,
screams,emotions, remembrances, love,
reminisces, feelings…. of dreams;

manifesting raw truth,
soft or tough, in love,
I’m coming,with hard-core verity,
of mySelf no stunting.

no shows to fit into pretty setups,
no standards or guidelines,
love it or hate it,
I’ve learned singularity is rough….

I was born this way,
unique with my own sway,
I don’t birth bogus,no hocus-pocus…

don’t look here for contemporary simplicity,
your bound to get bitten by the authenticity.

The Soul Evoking Poetess 'Urth Eagle'

A Black Power Poem...In Honor of Our Black Story

....written by Our Sis Queen in Honor of Black hisStory Month....beautiFuLLy PowerFull!!!

Dreamcatcher

many sleepLess nights...
just one of a few pieces of my life...
accustomed to constant awakenings...
aggravated with ceaseLess thoughts,
useLess worry of unpromised days,
anxiously excited with infinite words
that leave each mornings' rise hazed,
filled with unfulfilled goals,
until....
You ever so boldly ...
yet, delicately stepped into my dreams,
catching moments in between these,
occupying the lonely space with mean-ing,
giving my midnights' smiles and...
this Soul a Lover's rendezvous
of lost possibilities,
as you catch my heart in Your catcher's mitt...
I must admit...
I grin & giggle a Mighty bit,
as Your toes caress my heart's mid -sleepLess nights,
filling voids of frustration
....with "I just might"...
keep hold to chance,
as I bite my lip,
...still,
with an internal fright
of Love's past pain,
resting InHer sight
yet, Here I remain...
'tween sleep & awake,
comforted withIn the hansomeNess of Your face,
the melody Your laughter makes,
...for Loves' sake!
I'm umbella'd by the moon,
soul massaged by Your swoon,
WithIn surrounding lavender aromas
of everwhere...
calming this usually anxious darkness
can't help but...
smile at Love's madness...
to have the audacity to Still hope...
still believe in The Truth of Her Marvellousness...

I'll see You in the dream hours My Dearest,
where Your Soul reminds me of Love,
at, even,My closed vacancy,
withIn the palm of Your hand,
catching Me in the heres & nows...
.....the there & thens...
....& whens...
of my sleepLess nights,
where You catch My uncertainty...
& fill Me withIn

in the midst of looking for what we are...
…..Love
“Love”
…..it had always been withIn us each
& lovin & embracing me
You reached...

as your essence feels me.... with flutters, giggles & glee...
bypassing the scars and wounds
that locked my heart’s exterior room,
entering from withIn,
felt, not seen
inside.....

so I’d bet you..... for free that is,
as Love gives....
on that Chocolate necked kiss of bliss,
you delivered.....drift....Ing
in the wind’s breeze,
creat...Ing the joy in my soul...

swaying into your soul’s embrace,
while Us two dancing rivers of hearts overflow lovin’ ….
spillin’ every bit if All, cuz we replenish Love like
like....Love
giving Love’s blood transfusions,
lover to lover, we gallop in the wind
inhaling one another’s breathes
I tickle your King Soul,
with the laughter you brought into my heart,
feather tip, softly whispering my fantasies, desires, dreams, & fears....
into your Soul’s ear,
burying it All into a burrows deepness....
the Beings of Our Love’s Safety,
where Our heart lays at rest

I tell you
I’ll bet you, like I know that love is free,

withIn the warm atmospheric pressures...
my Beloved King...
I’ll suppress the pains of your past
protecting your heart with a Warrior’s Love
& all that’ll remain are the permanent stains
Stains that real lovers try to eraseeee.
Erase....

creating holes where Love use to live
& we lovers peer through holey hearts,
using our resentment, anger and pain as shields,
wearing masques....peering through
not to be shattered, torn, nor scorn

And. And....
I’d bet you, just like I’d bet the freedom that Love Is...
You’re Uniquely created....My One of a Kinda King

raw. fresh. an unStained Love starts
“This time We win,”

Can I?

Luminate

Eyeluminate spoken concerns of emotional distresses
the belly toilin’ pains and afflictions, holding your peace under arrest
Left abandoned in the darkness….
Ohhhh Lovessss I feel Your Souls rain down into my spaces
I see your anguished faces
in the night ….the tears of Souls that rain
but, I’ll steady shine, a magnetic energetic star in Our sleepless nights…
shinin not only mine own light, but the hidden glow of Your many hearts
I carry within

crushin’ biased opinions! from a bunch of dressed up lemons
stompin’ stereotypical judgments! Time dey take a damn hint!
dat buzzin’ roun’ our heads fuh years
achy jaws we’ll bear….
We chewin ignorant spewed un-thoughts rules layed out
that’ve been fillin’ our ears
Our Eyes, heads…hearts
Locked Our lives, no keys and the fears
….many a swallowed tears, beer-drunken in negativity
Now We spittin the shit that was ‘In’planted in reverse
We Standin’ One Strong

& Eye stand
Midst One!!
on ‘Root’ed years, of Our Ancient Dears
blood, bloodshed, Hearts & Souls gone
& yet with Us Still!
Feelin’ the achin’ backs of carried sacks,
of thrown stones in my bones
bore none of the burdens of my roots
those of old & yet new
& they’ve ached still withIn me
And Eye see & wear the soul wombs
the birthed
the birth nations, while shouldering the heavies
while walkin ancient fields, bleedin rivers,
buidin railroads, levees & their own plantations
Eye walk with them, with you
We do…
awake in my sleep
Eye See, Eye Stand
to seek, to learn, to reach, to teach …
Each One…
You are Me & Eye am You…
It is We that must stand to sow the seeds
that are Ours to see the harvest reap…
Can’t you see!?

These are the contractions of Ours…
Our pains to bear…
To choose or not…We bear them still
Our labor to reap….to moan…..
To choose or not we ache the lost…the bloodshed still
The contractions are Ours
to reap the benefits of Our sowing….as One
One People
OneNess…. Nations….
A Great People lost from time of the great antediluvian
Our light contained in a mental darkness
ill-taught, we didn’t know Our inner glow
thought our skin color was Our mentality
and it hovered like a black cloud hiding the truth!!
& the flickering still is! the light Eye bear withIn my soul
in my sleep awakening
in my conscious day
revealin the torment not only of me
of ruthLessness,
“sleepLess nights Eye see your stories….
Eye feel your inflictions…
shared with my awakened siblings,
with Our open Souls, achy feet- as we walk the mid-sleepLess night plantations…..
with ripped fingers, ripped backs, torn hands
bleeding Our Soul’s spills onto the pages & into lyrics”
Oh….how quickly we lost Self into pleasing…
Appeasing....into form-fitting…season after season….

Awakened nights inTo the silence,
revealed to me over and over…that I’m not awakened alone
but the vibrations hum into my soul
into letters, words….tones, notes and melodies
each One. Reach one. Teach one.
Embrace and Love “One”.
which is All…One Is.

movin forward on this road…
in the darkness of the midnight…. under Her moon’s light
Eye smile withIn a peacefulness
We must gain Control of Our Spiritual Minds
which cannot be contained
feeling Our InnHer Guides present
and the elevation that is in motion
…..dreaming into the faces of My Wombspring,
& All my Earthly Wombsping
In This Inevitable OneNess

Together
It is time
Seek. Learn. Teach
Release….the carried burdens of past,
remembering from where your strength has come
forever use your will….remember it as lessons to build
The bags…the sacks….carrying no names
Listen to Our Ancients withIn …
GodIs guiding….guarding with the energy flow of forever
InnHer Soul

Seek
Self….1st
Elevation….Uplifting
Self….1st
Knowing Self….1st
UpLifting All of Our broken hearts & minds
Healing Selves
No longer allowing past as barriers as walls!!
Crushin’ it, using the crumbles & brick pieces to step up & buildddd
building new walls blockin non-pertinent judgments of those irrelevant minds….
renewing mental slave blocked minds
Standin Onegether
digestin’ truth….planting seeds withIn the depth
Promoting growth through fertilized words of wisdom and truth
…..been livin barren land for years wonderin’ why there’s no progress..no progression
Gotten too comfortable with “just”
….too comfortable with “just enough”
that our growth has become stunted….took a rest from the fight & fell asleep
thinkin it was gonna still work out for your peeps!
Can You See?! It ain’t what you thought
Nor what you unconsciously think in your sleep
It’s time to Move….

Eye evolve from withIn for me, for you, for Ours
One
Guided by the powerFull
The non-understood, the rooted minds….
Soul Free in this Stipulated World, in which Our bodies exist
Eye’m sayin’ seek My Sisters & Brothers, the knowledge is withIn
Our bodies may suffer, and the world aint what it should be!!
It’s time to wake up…
rebuild…
All that takes place…in the manner of You!
Takes place with Your desires!
Our Inner… “What it Is!”
in the form of Your Power…Your Strength…
comes from withIn Us!

& Here..Now…..Know This!!

Our ‘Souls’ are Free!!

Let’s Git it!!!
.One Love.

No Love Til... (Prologue: ATale of a Lovers War)

Ambrosia Love ~Spoken

Ambrosia Love

~plastering the wounds of Her,

with overflowing affections of HimSelf

~feathering His fears & bruises,

with Her wing’s delicate embraces

~He lifts Her high,

supporting the indescribable Queen She Is…

enamored in the bows of Her dark, brown eyelids,

as they close, then reveal their moons,

consuming all of Her pain…dreams...Her wishes,

loving the fullness of Her lips,

the vibration of Her hips,

to Her sugar-coated, warm breaths,

that touch His soul,

with the richness of truth

~she picks Him up,

elevating the King that’s undeniable,

adoring the midnight depth His eyes speak

& soft lips don’t surrender,

inhaling His pain…hopes…His desires,

admiring strength in the width

of his broad, chocolate, shouldered protection,

the command of His stance,

to his nectar flowing ardent breaths,

that brush Her soul,

with the gentleness of the truth

~she blankets His King Soul,

~He cloaks Her Queen,

as they implant mutual Soul therapy

and pleasuring needs,

~WithIn Soul vows~

of ancient friendship, devotion & honor

for lifetimes…

~They are~

One sweet, flowing, Ambrosia Soul
