Luv, I can't want you,
because to claim you
is to place limitations on you
and I need you to be free.
Free to choose to be with me
each and every opportunity that arises.
So from the moment
you open your eyelids
you clearly see...
nestled in these arms of mine
is where you'd choose to be
no matter the options...
Because my love for you
is that constant
in a universe rife
with much uncertainty.

Talk of narcissism has become the new wave in our community. A word that has only entered public consciousness since 45's election. I don't excuse the poor behavior of black men, but associating us with a word used to describe the most vile public official in recent history feels like a deliberate attempt to further drive a wedge between my brothers and sisters. I smell a rat and see too many of my own people eating the cheese, blindly.

Walk with me
through midtown.
Talk with me
in the rain.
Laugh with me
through the
splash of a puddle.
Find respite
from our hearts' pains,
and let me remind you
of all the reasons
you luv me.

Love Letter
Write me a love letter.
Use stationary and ink.
Be felicitous with every
flowing thought
you'd have me drink.
Inebriate me with
the raw emotions spilled.
Make it as potent
as the distillate
from old moonshiner's stills.
Do not restrain.
Allow your pen
the freedom of your spirit.
Confide in me sincerely
as the contrite to a cleric.
Say to me in writing
words your mouth
could never form.
Write me with the prescience
of my life's light being gone...
